July 2011:Calling all planners-Post your dates & Resort

Hotel in PA is officially booked...now I have to buy a new cat carrier, but a disposable litter box for the kitties, make sure to bring their treats and buy some paper plates and bring my own garbage bag into the room to dispose of said litter box and any other garbage in the morning. I think my "to buy" list went from non existing to up to 20 items again :rotfl2:
 
Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers for my Grammy :hug: It really means a lot.

In a weird turn of events, my parents are engaged ... to each other! They've been divorced almost my whole life.
 

Looks like we might get to go down on July 2nd instead of the 3rd...woo!
:yay: Hoping for low bills! ;)

Just what you wanted to realize! :idea:

In a weird turn of events, my parents are engaged ... to each other! They've been divorced almost my whole life.

WOW! You are having a busy month! Congrats, I guess? I hope you are happy!


Well, another closer, for me, means another day farther behind. Got half my paper done, and DH decides I need to go w/ him ang girls to MIL pool. I've been buried so far under computer, I have no sun, he didn't want me to get burned at WDW. Therefore, I got burned at home. As did DD2. Great! AND I set a wrought iron and wood lounge chair on my big toe, and it hurts. YAY.

Sundays are sacred here until after dinner. We'll go to church, then my mom's until 6 or so. I think I'm at the "I've got so much to do, I'll do nothing stage." :rolleyes1

My goal is to finish paper before church, and then get myself organized this evening. Making to do lists is my speciality! But, since it's 4:35am, I never write school papers until after 2 cups of coffee, so I have some dis time!
 
Hey all, just took ages to try and catch up. Been so busy with stuff (not even sure what - lol) that I've not been in here for a few days and wow does this thread go fast these days!!

Well this time in 2 weeks we should hopefully be boarding at Glasgow Airport!! Cannot wait!!! Bought some new shorts yesterday as I am not taking my skinny ones, they'll only depress me when I can't fasten them two days into the trip - lol!!

4 1/2 days of work left til our school hols! So Friday afternoon I'll be in proper holiday mode! Yeay!!

Wow, an engagement. I guess they never fully fell out of love ;)

Not sure how you feel about it, but that is cool. I went to a wedding in the fall of a relative who was divorced from her husband for over 20 years. I don't know the exact amount of time. It was sweet to see them get back together.


In one week from today, at this exact time (8:22 AM), my DH and I should be on our plane getting ready to take off!!
 
We got a lot done yesterday. I took DD to eye dr to get her contact lens finalized then went to Old Navy where she got 2 pairs of flip flops, 3 shirts (1 on clearence has Mickey's siloutte on it) and 2 shorts. All for under $50, plus I had a merchandise credit and a gift card so it cost me nothing, Today I'm taking her to Kohls to look at sneakers and possibly some more shirts.

DH took DS out and got him sneakers and socks. Plus got himself a shirt or two.

Well, the universe is trying to make this trip difficult for me.

edit: never mind! I was saying ACK I THINK MY PET SITTER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS but as soon as I post that, I get through to someone!

Glad to see that the crisis was averted. We opted to board our dog this year instead of having our niece watch him.

I got my Mickey Mail!!!! YAY. under 2 weeks to go, haven't told DD7 yet, I was thinking I'd start the clues when we are 1 week away!!!!:)

:banana: :yay: :banana: :yay: :banana: :yay: :banana: :yay:

I wish I had the will power to keep the trip as a surprise

Oh my.....

Well, our tickets are officially either stolen or lost in the mail. :confused3Luckily, Undercover Tourist has come up with an acceptable solution to make sure that we have valid tickets when we get to the parks. Unfortunately, this also means we have to either take copies of the tickets we bought to the ticket office at WDW and have them reissued, or (if that doesn't work) purchase new tickets from Disney. Does anyone have any idea what time the ticket offices at WDW open at the parks? Our dilemma is that our first day at the parks, DD has a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appt before the park opens, that we need a ticket to get into the park to get to! Her appt is at 8:55am, and we have to be at BBB 15 mins before that. If we have to go to the ticket office there to get new tickets/reissue our tickets, I'm just afraid we won't make it to her appt in time! Oh I will be SO glad when this ticket nightmare is OVER!! :headache:

I think the ticket office open up at least an hour before the park does, so if you get there a little before you should be fine. Glad to see that they came up with a solution that works for you. I know I would be just as stressed about it.

Here's the back of the Flag.

The other side will hopefully look the same (and even better). And I will laminate it in case it rains, just to make it last 10 minutes longer lol

That is so cute. If I was half as talented I would attempt something for the get together on the 6th.

Lucky you with only 4 1/2 days left. I have 8 work days left. I have a full week this week and then only 3 the following.

Cats are generally inflexible creatures and our's have moved into "senior" status. One of 'em hates everything and everyone that isn't my husband... plus they'd have to be in separate cages and it gets really pricey to NOT have someone stop by the house once a day to feed and water the girls. ;)

No fun - but if it is any consolation my buy list will probably go up at the last minute too!

Thanks!

I won't officially know until Thursday after my mom gets all the bills paid. We are so hoping we get to go down a day early...it will make the 3rd a much less rushed day.

:woohoo:

Hope it works out.....last year we got to leave a few days earlier and it was so much fun!

AWe thanks guys!

Sorry to hear about the sunburns. I am still pretty white myself, we have just not had a lot of really warm days to swim, and I need heat!

Hang in there, you will get it done! Enjoy your day in the meantime.

I know what you mean about the shorts. I broke down and bought a few pair too - was not going to make my smaller sized shorts and luckily, last years are too big!

Hooray for your last week of school!

party: Single Digit Party
 
It is getting close for so many people, just can't wait to get there. I just discovered the Design Thread and Mandy designed some adorable stroller liscense plates for us. I would put them on here to show if I knew how. The designers are just great, they must really like to spread the Disney Magic.

Hope everyone has a great vacation. It is getting close.:banana:

I have one that has Snow White on it! It's so cute! I love what the DISigner's do with their computers and with their crafts!
 
Technically yes, however, they're refunding the price we paid for the tickets, and the difference between what we paid them and what we would have to pay Disney. Then we'll have the $$ in advance if we do have to re-purchase the tickets. If we don't have to, and WDW reissues the tickets we purchased through UT, they will re-charge us for the tickets. So in essence, they're trusting us to let them know so they can charge us for tickets. They won't send us another set of tickets, but this is definately the next best thing.





Thanks! I'd really like to keep the appt we've scheduled if at all possible. We'll change it if we absolutely have to, but the reason I scheduled it early is so she could see the park for the first time ever with the park pretty empty.


That does sound like an okay plan. I thought you meant they were just basically telling you 'too bad, buy new tix' with your own money!! It was early and I misunderstood LOL

Looks like we might get to go down on July 2nd instead of the 3rd...woo!

Things like the pets are the only reason I'm glad my son isn't going. My dog is so crazy that I would have to board her somewhere. If anyone watched her, she'd probably run away and end up in the shelter for the 4th time needing to be bailed out :rolleyes1:rolleyes1

Yeah, that is definitely a strange turn of events. While it's not the first time I've heard of it, the fact that they've been divorced for so long is what makes it a bit strange LOL!!

It's getting exciting now, huh? Even though I stopped posting on the WISH thread a few weeks ago, I was kinda sorta sticking to my diet and I did manage to lose 20 lbs or so, so I did go buy some new shorts and bathing suits and was happy with that. I'm kind of mentally out of that mode now, but may get back into it for the next few weeks if I really try.

I hope it does, too! I did get my ME tags and hopefully will really start getting my act together by the end of this week.





  • Today we're having a family party (aka my parents, two brothers and their families) for dinner and cake for DD's birthday.
  • Tomorrow is actually her birthday and I'm taking her and two nieces and SIL into NYC to the American Girl Cafe for lunch and to just walk around Times Square when we're done with lunch.
  • Wednesday I go in the hospital for a procedure.
  • Next Sunday we're supposed to go to my nephew's HS graduation party, but it's a 2.5 hr drive, so I have to see how I'm feeling about that after Wed.
  • Then I must start really getting things together.

I haven't even made lists yet of what to pack, even though DH is already telling me things like Advil and stuff that needs to be bought. Geez, I'm not even at that stage yet!

Anyone think we're going to need insect repellant? I just don't remember if we needed it or not.

I'm still unsure on the whole socks and sneakers thing. I should probably wear them, but my feet get way too hot. I am wearing them to the airport, though, because I need socks on to walk through security. I will not do it barefoot!:eek:

For 8 days (2 waterpark visits and a pool 1/2 day included) I figure we'll need like 12 underwear each and DH will need 12 pairs of socks. DD and I will be mostly wearing flip flops or sandals. I have two bathing suits each. The other choice is to bring 6 of each and do laundry 1/2 way through.

I really hate doing laundry on vacation.

We're flying JetBlue and are allowed 1 bag each under 50 lbs. Anyone want to contribute suggestions? What do you all think I should do re: clothes. Pack 1/2 and do laundry or pack it all and just wash it when I get home, lettin TSA sift through dirty, smelly clothes? ROFL
