We can't wait. Only 3 weeks and 5 days until we leave!

Staying at Pop July 26th-Aug 2nd.

Eating dinner at:
Le Cellier
San Angel
Coral Reef
Hollywood & Vine (seeing Fantasmic that night!)
Boma
Chef Mickey's
O'hana (had to try it.)

Hope that you all have wonderful vacations and that the weather stays nice for us!

P.S.: I'm such a dork, I've only made my ADRs and gotten our airfare. Haven't made our resort ressies yet. We were waiting to see if there are any deals. I didn't read thru all 179 odd posts (lol) so, if anyone cares to share any secrets feel free to PM me. I'm currently waiting on a quote from Dreams Unlimited Travel.

Hi Laides...Epcot today. Soarin was awesome as always. It broke down the 2nd time when DD and I rode. TT broke twice while we were there...each day...broken rides...SM, Everest, Primeal Whirl and then today TT and Soarin. RnR better not break!! DHS tomorrow for DS and I.

HOT here!! We were stuck on Soarin for almost an hour and I loved the air

Tomorrow DD throws. DS Wed and Fri.
Storms are rolling in now.

Tusker House was GREAT...better than Crystal Palace and that's huge for the family. Boma is tomorrow for breakfast. Tusker is better than Cape May too. Very yummy and characters are great. LTT was yummy as always.

Pictures tonight...too hard to upload twice a day so won't be doing that again!!

 

[EEyorelover22]

I will take pics of the room when they make it up again. It's a mess, but if it always looks like that...I just take those pics.

It's pouring!!

 

[EEyorelover22]

Tomar in 4 hours you will be at 1!! You have shown great restraint. If I had been packed 3 days early > I would of been driving all ready. Left early

EE22, The pictures are great! Looks like all is going fine & happy. Lots of magic! I love your room. You know, I am a lion king fan. I was trying to figure out the layout. The bathroom is different than the saratoga springs / bw villas we had. I think your missing out on a jaccuzzi? Or is the "main" building > villas handicap? (saw the bars) When is the rest of the villas supposed to open? Not sure if I like the view of the savannah being blocked on the other end with villas. Will have to see it in person. Just liked it opening out to the open ...... . But the buildings do look nice.

Its cooler here today for some reason & that put asthma into season. Was crazy busy at work. Hope everyone had a great weekend & everyone is getting ready to go.

mky

It's a jaccuzzi tub...yes
hard to tell what it's gonna be like when it's done. This is Sunset Sav so you always saw the other end of the building or if you were on the left side of zebra trail you did too. Right side of zebra is more open. We've been on all paths we are close to the lobby...over the top actually...I was worried about that but it's fine. CLOSE to Mara/Boma...the halls are LONG

 

[TOMAR@SSR]

OK....The Tomar`s are ready to go !!!! Yaay !!!!!
I will be talking to you all when we return from the world in a couple of weeks !!!!

EE22- Love your Updates !!!! Good luck to the Kids !!!!

Bye Ladies !!!!!!

 

[candizfan]

EE22 - sounds wonderful!

We will be at AKV in less than two weeks now.

So, life has not been busy enough for me I guess I had to find something else to keep me busy.

I have been bugging my brother to sell me his motorcycle for the past 7 years. He finally decided to buy a newer one and we snatched up his current bike tonight. It is a 1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 cc! She is beautiful and I can't wait to show it off.

I have been riding motorcycles since before women rode them very much. I got my license in 1983 and was one of two women in the entire area that rode full time.

Now that the kids won't be needing to be picked up every day, I can finally put a bike back on the road with the hopes of getting in more than a couple of rides now and then.



Now I have to do the safety, transfer and find insurance for it and it is our holiday tomorrow....I have to wait until Wednesday to do all that. Plus I need to shop for a new helmet. My full face is really old and I only have my half helmet to use....that can wait a few days but I need a helmet to fit the kids so they can come too...$$$$ I have to buy good ones, never scrimp on the helmet!

I need to get my leg strenght back, they were like noodles after only a short ride tonight.

MKY - try not to send any more rain next week since I will need nice weather to go riding!

 

[Minnie]

EE22 - Your updates are soooo cool!!!! I can't wait to be there

Tomar - Safe travels

Candi - Congrats on the motorcycle purchase We have ATVs and love them The guys are always so suprised that I can keep up with them no problem

ONLY 4 MORE DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!

 

[EEyorelover22]

DD throws today at the WWoS...shirts are lame that's all I know
Breakfast at Boma and then DS and I will head to DHS.
I took pics of the room so you could see the layout better even though it's not made up.

No time to read posts so I hope everyone is getting ready.

Boma for dinner as always is AWESOME!!!

 

[candizfan]

Candi - Congrats on the motorcycle purchase We have ATVs and love them The guys are always so suprised that I can keep up with them no problem

I am always amazed that they are surprised at what we are capable of! 'Won't they ever learn that we can do anything.

I never thought much about being one of two women riding. But looking back, I guess it was out of the ordinary...it did get me some good dates though....

Now about 40% of all bike sales in Canada are to women. I won't even be one of the oldest out there!

Now it is time to sell the old 1981 440 LTD if you know anyone interested.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Tomar, safe travels! Have a wonderful time.

Mouseaddict's 4 Have a great time! Hope all is packed. Did DD get her dress yet?(for pictures)

Minnie, Hope your getting ready too. Lots of contraversy on the tranport board about your code. Have back up for now, will hold for a while.

Candi, Congrat's on the motorcycle. I will watch I80 for you to wiz by. Yes, invest in a good helmet.

EE22, hope donald11 did well & had fun today looks like you guys are having a wonderful time! enjoy yourself. Have an itzadoozie yet? to clear up the rain.

TP2, are you packing yet? Hope the girls are excited and staying healthy.

[EEyorelover22]

DD took 4th place today
haven't had an itzadoozie yet...we had French pastries instead yesterday

DHS: well, what a mess with the new Toy Story ride and RnR wasn't working this am. So...if you want to ride both...DS and I think fast passes for Toy Story and ride RnR and wait for more fast passes for whatever ride you like more. The FP for TS go FAST!! At 10 am the fast passes were out to 4 pm already!!

at 9:30 am the wait for TS was over an hour. Getting there on time is vital!!
I have never seen so many people at the turnstiles to DHS...WOW!!!

but...both rides have single rider lines which is good.

 

[mkymouse4ever]

DL11 congratulations!WTG!

EE22, Thanks for the TS info. Good to know. Great pictures, you have wonderful view of animals.

Fingerscrossed for good weather.

[tripplanner2]

WOW!!! Did I miss a lot and not one notice.

Tomar is gone, Mouseaddicts is leaving, EE22...info on your trip. So much.


We leave next week. Trying to get all business out of the way this week. DD4 had to go to pediatric GI. They are testing her for celiac, doing an upper GI series, lots of blood work. Looking forward to getting it all done and having it behind us.

Happy packing everyone and safe trips. We leave next week, tweeked our trip a bit. Gotta go, have another DR. appointment.

 

[candizfan]

Everyone is busy busy these days.

It is pouring rain here again. DD turned 10 today! And we have 10 days till our trip! Hey I just noticed that!

TP2 - I hope everything works out at the doctors.

MKY - no I80 for me. I75, I94, I96 maybe but the last time I rode through Michigan, I was 19 and rode all the way from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie. I went to college in Sault Ontario. I think I am past that point now.

Happy preparing everyone!

 

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone!

Hope you've got a jump on packing! Your all getting close!

TP2, I never get notices.

Candi, you wild child. Actually, motorcycles make me nervous on the interstates.

Mouseaddicts DOWN TO 3

I've been running around like a mad woman the past few days trying desperately to get everything ready! Right now, I'm pretty stressed out b/c DS's fanny pack is MIA! It's not the end of the world ... but it has his poncho & bouncy-ball from/for WDW ..... I guess we can get new ones ........ I'm working from home today, but I've got so much stuff to do, I don't know how much *work* will get done!

 

[EEyorelover22]

Hi All...we were at MK all day yesterday...9am till 10:15 pm for the closing with Wishes. In bed by 11 caught the first bus back.

Today is 1900 Park Fare for breakfast...YUMMY!!

I will try to give more info on TS and we go back on Sat. Opps...called it MGM...OH WELL!!!

everyone have safe trips that are leaving

 

[candizfan]

Hi y'all

I have a tip that worked when I stopped getting notices.

I went to the original post on the countdowns and live reports board and then clicked on this thread. Then I posted a new message and like magic, I started getting notices again.



My brother is going to drop off the bike for me tonight. The insurance is valid as of tomorrow...so I need a new sticker for the plate and I am off and riding.

I have nothing packed and nothing ready to pack. I am hoping next week will be quiet at work so I can get home and get some stuff done. But after getting ready for Europe in such a short time, I am not stressing as much...but I might also be in denial.
