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

[juliebug1997]

Please forgive me if this has already been covered.....but for the July 6th meet at AK did we decide NOT to bring anything? Also how will we know each other? Lime Green Mickey Heads? I just don't wanna come unprepared or miss yall.

I don't think we were doing anything. I don't have a lime green Mickey so I'll just have to look for y'all after the show.

I don't know if I will make though this week at work.
It's end of the month....end of the quarter and basically the 2nd busiest week of the year (Before Christmas is the other).

It's Monday and I'm STRESSED out already!!! UGH!!! Friday night cannot get here quick enough, I just pray next week goes by SOOOOO SLOW!

Repeating to myself: "Blessed with a job, Blessed with a job"

 

[disneywatcher]

WOW! I don't visit the board for about 24 hours and the postings are just all over the place!

To those of you who just joined our friendly little abode! May you all have Happy and Magical Trips!

OneBadApple~ I think I will pack a pair of scissors as the general consensus is they are good to have on hand.

FlipflopMom~I normally don't drink a whole lot of coffee but here lately I've been wanting it bad! I think it's because other then un-sweet the only brown beverage I can drink anymore I finally called the lady to cancel the pet sitting for Izzy. Is it bad that all I got was her voicemail and left a message?

Melissa~Thank You! I really wish loosing weight was as easy as gaining it

So today's list includes sweeping, finding the "tail" to Gillian's doggy harness, finding her other purple shoe (because in all honesty it should be in the house somewhere but I have no clue where to look and if I don't find it then it's back to Khols for me to buy a new pair for her) and cleaning off my craft table again (aka the dining room table).

I've decided that my TR will be named "No Children Were Harmed During The Making of This Trip Report." and will start when we leave here to drive to VA to wait for DH. I figure I'll take the kiddo's to DC (as I always do) and we will explore Georgetown (ok so were going to Georgetown Cupcakes!) I'm also going to take them to see Cars 2 while we are there. If my gift's for the DISmeet are not done before I leave here, I will work on them at my Mom's house too (I prefer her sewing machine to my own lol...the bobbin self loads and everything!).

 

[disneywatcher]

Still no Disney Mail So at what point do I start to panic and contact my TA to find out it's location?

Found the "tail" to Gillian's harness, it was in our play room like I thought it would be. The purple shoe in question though is still missing in action.

 

[t_daniels]

TRs.. and ptrs... who alls done them? I debated it. Dunno though.

 

[PrincessEmma630]

11 days!!!!

We're STILL coming up with stuff we have to buy! I'm wondering if we'll ever be done with all the shopping trips! Taking DD out to the mall tonight while the boys go to the Y, still have to get her a hat, DS a pair of sunglasses, and a few things for myself. Luckily, all the stress I had building up from the ticket nightmare has been lifted, so I guess the shopping and packing stress can begin!!

You are cracking me up over the purple shoe because that so sounds like my house.

Carrie your NYC trip sounds awesome. My kids cannot wait to go to TRU at Time's Square. I am def. going to have to set a budget!

tinkerbell I am hesitant to mention the name of my diet because some people have diff. ideas about it. Anyway, it's Herballife. And it's easy, so so easy. I have tried pretty much everything and this one works. I wish I had learned about it years ago. I feel like this is the big secret everyone knows about and now I am just finding out about it. It's basically drinking a protein shake twice a day. It's funny but now when I mention it to people who are thin most of them say oh yeah, I drink those at least once a day. Why didn't someone tell me?! grrrr. Basically it's a high protein diet but to get that much protein from food ie a steak, you get fat with it. The shake gives you the straight up protein without the fat. It's brilliant. And it feels you up so you aren't hungry. Then there is a metabolism booster tea which is yummy.

28 days!!!!!!!

I can't believe we're under a month! AND I can't believe I got an ADR for the Wishes Dessert Party just this morning!!! Can't wait!!!

 

[disneywatcher]

I had a short PTR and am going for a LONG TR (complete with food pictures)

I have raided everywhere I would think of putting a shoe! I double checked on how much they are and they are 18 dollars a pair I really don't want to purchase another pair so I'm hoping the other one comes out of hiding soon!

So another lovely thing to throw off my trip...my E-Reader died sometime last night or today. I called Kobo up though and they are sending a Fed Ex box to my Mom's house so I can get a new one and they will take the broken one.

 

[PopArtGal]

OMG this is so exciting. We are so close to Disney!

 

[gray2402]

July 10th Dis Meet people ... I am having a heck of a time finding something to bring that is from my area ... are you guys?

 

[keypooh90]

6 days left...or 5, depending on what happens on Thursday.

 

[keypooh90]

It won't be bad because you are in Orlando!!!! Where are you staying? We have done that before and it is not bad at all. We have stayed at the Hawthorne Suites and also Buena Vista Suites (great breakfast buffet btw).

Right now it's looking like the Courtyard Marriott, unless something opens up at Buena Vista Suites.

I have something very small. If you don't have anything, no worries. Because what I have is not too spectacular, but represents where I am from. A picture of the group will be just fine!

 

[TXdisney]

TWO WEEKS!!!​

This time, two weeks from now, I will be sitting at the airport, fidgeting nervously (as I always do).

I did a ptr for my last trip and never got to the actual TR. This time I didn't do anything yet, but you never know...

Carrie your NYC trip sounds awesome. My kids cannot wait to go to TRU at Time's Square. I am def. going to have to set a budget!

We never did end up at Times Square. We did, however, end up at Rockerfeller Center before the American Girl store and at St. Patrick's Cathedral with a walk-by of Radio City Music Hall afterwards. DD had a great birthday and we all enjoyed it

Nice! I can't wait to try that. What date are you going?



Tomorrow will be the big reveal of the trip. I really am hoping she just suspected and didn't really think we're going, because she hasn't mentioned Disney at all in the past few days. So we'll see what happens.

I guess if the weeks in my countdown were days, it'd be 22

 

[tinkerbell60]

FINALLY, I have talked DH into ADR's. (Careful. Apocalypse may be upon us..... )
DH thinks I'm crazy... but-- here's our list:

Feels like we're THAT much closer! (And thank God for the park hopper option, or I would have gone nuts..)

I posted your ADRs, we thought about changing our Via Napoli to the same time as you because that is the day of the Dis Meet in Epcot, right now it is the next day at 7pm......Also, I have you down for an ADR at Ohana on July 22nd too.....should I cancel that one?

I FInally got to go ver our ADR's with my family and finalize most..

We will probably see you at CRT as we are leaving - our ADR is for 7:10pm.....I have updated your ADRs on the master list.

TWO WEEKS!!!​

This time, two weeks from now, I will be sitting at the airport, fidgeting nervously (as I always do).

Have not but thinking about it.......

Thanks for the info - so I guess it is a replacement to food? No judgements here, I understand your hesitation though.

If you want to post the date and time, I can add it to the ADR list.......

I am sure the Courtyard Marriott will be fine, but I really love Buena Vista Suites. They have a great free breakfast buffet. DD calls it the bling hotel because it was lit up with white lights at night....we could always find our way back to it!

I will find something.... thought it would be easier LOL

Thanks! I'm sure it will as well. All we will be doing there is sleeping/swimming/eating dinner and breakfast before heading over to Pop, anyway.

WOOHOO!!!!

Thanks!

We have so much to do to get ready to leave. Tomorrow we are doing some cleaning around the house and then cleaning out the cooler. Wednesday we have a long day of beginning to pack some things, more cleaning/cleaning the truck and organizing. Thursday is the change the oil day/fix headlight, more packing/organizing, grocery/essentials shopping, and go to Carrollton to get some groceries for my homebound grandmother, then Friday is complete packing/cleaning and cook some goodies to take with us on the trip.
