[EEyorelover22]

I'll post later how it all turned out and what the events were, but we are home. Must be something in the air...my friend was flying out today and I didn't see her at the gate with her family and I knew something was wrong...her oldest forget her id I don't know if they made it on the plane through security, but I gave them both a hug and told them not to let it ruin their trip.

We had a wonderful time. I can't wait to catch up on the posts. I see someone had an anniversary. CONGRATS!! Glad you made it safe and sound as well to your destination.

We we all take our trips we will have to met up on the Community Board too

Hi Guys !!!!
Im here at my son`s home in SC (enjoying my new granddaughter !!! She was born on 6-26, and weighed in at 8 lbs. 1oz)
this is our first grandchild, and i can`t believe her
She looks like a porclain Doll!!!
EE22- Hope your enjoying your vacation , thank you for sharing your beautiful pics,(i need some time to view them, but the baby has been keeping us soooo busy) I`ll try again tonight to see some more
TP2 & MKY- are you guys starting to pack?
We`ll be leaving here on 7-10, (bittersweet, because i cant wait to get to WDW, but i wish i could take my little "Perfectly Princess"!!! with me, )
ok guys, i`ll try to check-in again before we leave here, because i won`t be able to say hello, until I return home !
bye for now

CONGRATS!! first grandchild
I have to tell you that on our last day in MK, DD and I were at Philharmagic and I got a tear in my eye (DS's fave show due to Donald) as I knew we would be back only one more time for some time and I remembered what you told me about going back later on and then taking my grand children. It pulled me right out of it. I said to DS on the plane today that I couldn't wait to take his children to WDW. He smiled. Then I said, "yes, and you can take them home completely worn out and I won't have to deal with crabby Donalds." He laughed.

You'll be there SOON NOW!!!

IMPORTANT STUFF NOW!!

HOW MANY DAYS LADIES????
******IMPORTANT!!!
What AP rates/dates am I watching for and when?
I think it's coming up here fast that I need to watch.
And: what resort?

I am SO tired. I've been up since 3am. I'm not sure how DD is playing in a basketball game tonight. Youth is a wonderful thing.

2 loads of laundry left

Mouseaddicts' nails were "tight". Great family and they were bummed that my kids were in the arcade. We met them right before our dinner at Boma.

We got stuck on Pirates for 45 minutes. It was cool in there, I rested my feet and we got a free fast pass to BTMRR We rode it twice. It is GREAT!!

As I was in my panic state last night at 1:43 am not sleeping, I realized I never took a picture of my glass wedge or sent pics of my classroom. I will have to do that!!

EE22, thanks well we leave aug. 2! So it is fastly approaching! But my October trip has just went to double digits too. Looking for Oct 11th > 28th! Want the Poly again, but will compromise for a great rate. I have a feeling I will be at wdw when they come out.

My word! You'll be there a longgggggggg time you need a great rate.

Things won't be too wild then in my life yet either so I will watch for you and I will be hot on the trail of Candlelight packages for me as well.

When do you return?

PM me your cell phone number when you can and then also let me know where you are staying in August (Poly?) and I'll even call there and leave a message to make sure you get it if I don't reach you on your cell phone.

66.93 miles in 8 days

The first day my pedometer didn't work in my bag...I forgot to clip it on and then the last day we were at TL and it was packed in our bags that were stored. Our biggest day was AK and DTD with 11.08 miles. My feet hurt that day!!!

 

[TOMAR@SSR]

Good morning Guys!!!

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES !

EE22- I remember when my boys were in thier late teens, WDW started not to empress them so much (and I could not imagine, us, not having our family vacations there anymore)
And now, all i hear is that they can`t wait to bring "The Princess"
It`s soooo normal , i guess ,like ,the "Circle of Life"

Tomorow "the perfectly princess tea party" , as i call her, is going to the pediatrician, and im sure she gained about 8 ozs already!!!!

 

[TOMAR@SSR]

WOW, i just read how many miles you walked EE22,( God Bless ) , I`m going to be like Dave, in the WDW video, and find a bench, every chance i get, after 2 weeks here helping out everyday, I looking for some R&R this trip

 

[tripplanner2]

EE22: Can't believe that you saw Rabbit either. Last year we got a picture with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. I was missing Rabbit. I guess that they don't want too many of the characters out at the same time. I wonder why?

 

[EEyorelover22]

We found Rabbit in the Toy Soldier in the UK at Epcot. I knew he was out sometimes there so I didn't let on with DD until we got in there.

You should have seen her when we were at LTT and she saw Meeko outside with the dude from Pocahontas (big purple hat and we can't think of his name) and we were eating! That was their last set too. We were both looking out the window and Dale came up to our table and put his elbows on the table and was looking too and we didn't know it and when we turned around it scared us half to death!!

 

[EEyorelover22]

Dof D, or EE22, or anyone else: know where there are instructions how to post pictures? Or a free site ? Sis wants to do this we so far just have our old ones on dvd- things? or is it cd-things? Tell I am not the technical one.

I'm reading what I missed when I was gone.

Shutterfly is VERY easy to upload pictures and it's free and you can order prints too from them if you want to. If I can do it, anyone can.

It says, "add pictures" and you add them from your computer hard drive and it uploads them. SUPER easy. We have all of our pics from all of our trips on shutterfly in separate albums.

One thing I learned. Don't put all your pictures in one album as it has a limit to the number is will send at once and then you have to click each picture individually.

 

[EEyorelover22]

Hi there!!
We went to Pirates today and it was AWESOME!!

On the planning: I just returned from Walmart. They have really cute shirts there and also some great Disney pjs. VERY cute. And they have nurse scrubs too. I noticed Tink and Bambi. I think you girls need some new pjs Disney dish towel sets too!! New bags too.

They have new Disney folders and book covers. I couldn't resist. I only needed laundry detergent...I was so bad!!

 

[TOMAR@SSR]

Hi guys!!
well the time has almost come, when we will be departing, and leaving our little princess, (only til Oct. when she`s coming up to NJ ) , and journeying to our Beloved Mouse House
DH has to go to pick up the rental car on sunday, and monday morning @ 6am we will be off!!!!!!
A whole year of planning has finally come down to 2 more days

EE22- i was up til 3:30 am viewing your beautiful pics !!!!
can`t wait to get to POTC, my all time fav. and NOW with Jack Sparrow, im wondering if you experienced long ques??!!

TP2- & MKY- your times are getting closer, before you blink, you`ll be looking at the same countdown as mine

I`m already planning a day at DTD to get to the" Princess Boutique "for.. guess who!!!
ok guys talk to ya soon

 

[EEyorelover22]

The wait for Pirates was not bad at all. I was shocked. 10 minutes at the most. I think it loads very fast and there are two lines as well. Both times we went later in the day though. One time after lunch and the other after dinner. Have a wonderful time!!!

ps...soon I'll have more pictures
I'm going to scan the ride photos and I do have some print pics that I took. I finally made it to Target to get them done. I haven't scanned since last June so I wanted DH here in case I can't figure it out.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Tomar, Wow, 1 more day! Have a great time and Happy b-day! Be careful driving. And don't forget to kiss the baby!

EE2, Thanks so much! I will send the info in a pm!. Don't tell me about the great nurse scrubs. We had to give up all our disney scubs and am allowed only to wear 1 teddy bear shirt or blue & white. Hospital changed there dress code Jan 1. I had to get rid of everything. Feels like catholic school with a uniform. We saw pirates last nite too. Did you stay till the credits ended? Out of a packed theater, only sis and me and 2 others saw the "ending". I liked the movie! Davy is really creepy.

TP2, I have 1 more weekend off, 2 more pay day, 17 days left to work, and 24 days to go, and 1 haircut, before I go. Start packing!

Today is the "nephews" b-day. We are loading him up with, clothes for the trip, a wallet with disney dollars, and leroy&stitch. He is very excited about the trip. I hope he is ok (not homesick, etc...) down there.

I called to re-arrange a adr yesterday, and the cm was great. i added an o'hana dinner, and switched a chef mickey breakfast to stitch's breakfast. She tried talking me into the jojo circus one at mgm, but nephew is 9yr. and don't think he would like that. But the cm mentioned something about all my adr's... was very talkative, and asked where I thought she should have dinner on NYE? with her boyfriend. She mentioned we where not going to cali grille and i said, i wasn't that crazy about the menu. But loved the view. She was very sweet. Asked what resturants we always go to, and why? What resorts we liked.... . I almost told her about the dis. & deb's site.

Everyone have a great weekend! I have alot of work around here to do for the yard / house before we go.

mky!

 

[EEyorelover22]

okay...what did I miss in the credits???
we stayed, but I didn't see anything. Let me know where it is as DH and the kids and I are going again on Thursday during the "rush hour" price. He's taking the day off before our trip to 6 Flags.

I'm less than excited about the trip to 6 Flags. I need to pump myself up for it!! the tickets are now $20 cheaper though KEWL!!!

I have to mapquest the outlet mall. Like I need anymore Disney stuff!!

 

[EEyorelover22]

mky: good plan on NOT having CM breakfast. It was the worst meal we had while we were there! yuck

I still have a dinner at CM for the nephew. But I have nortoriously walked out of the waiting area at CM and over to the steakhouse, when the wait is too long, or it is just to chaotic over there. Based on mood. CM's tends to be either a very great experience (our 1st time, was terriffic) or the worst? (last time, worse staff, food, and little character interaction). I guess it depends on time of day, crowds, etc.. .

See my pm about the pirates.

 

[TOMAR@SSR]

MKY- thank you
DH is picking the car up in the morning
we had alot of company today, mostly to see the "Princess" , and some of DIL`s family came to say good-bye to us.
Now I can`t wait until the baby comes to New Jersey!!!!!

EE22- glad to know that the lines to POTC were ok, I`m hoping it stays that way

I`m gunna miss talking to you guys until I get back home, soooo Don`t forget me ok?!

 

[tripplanner2]

Have a great trip. Be safe driving. I am sure you will have a great vacation.
