Yesterday I took off from work around 12:30PM after lunch to take DD shopping for new clothes. WOW!!! that was a disaster.

DD is growing up and yesterday it really, really hit home. It reminded me of the episode on Duck Dynasty when Sadie and her father Willie went shopping for a prom dress and Si tagged along.

We shopped for 6 hours at stores in Fort Worth, tired on so many clothes I lost count. DD said can't find anything Dad, I want to go to Southlake and shop at Tyler's. I looked at DD and said that is 50 miles from here and the Friday traffic will be unbelievable. DD said ok, lets go before the store closes.

So we drove up to Tyler's, DD final bought ONE!!! Tyler shirt. Got home at 9:30pm after we stopped for dinner. We have to do it all over again today.

Edited 6:00 AM --------------------------------------------------- DD asked me what camera I was going to take this year. I said the Canon Wifi and the Sony DVD Camcorder. DD said OMG, DVD camcorder???? People don't use DVD camcorders anymore. You will look like a Dork filming with a DVD camcorder. I answered, does it really matter? DD said yes, go buy a HD Sony Blogger. This is Lucy's first trip and we are going to lots of fun and I don't want you to miss taking videos because you have to take the DVD camcorder out of your back pack. SO!!! I purchased one yesterday while shopping for DD clothes.

DD wants me to change the way I post our videos. Instead of one video at the end of our trip, she wants me to upload daily and post it like a blog. So taking her advice or looking at it as an order. I will post daily on our daily trip report. The more I think of her idea of posting daily, I can post a video of the BOG dinner as soon as we get to the resort that night.

Hey everyone.:goodvibes Trying to catch our breath here.;) Working on the planning. Looks like we are staying our first night at the airport, then renting a car, spending 3 full days at POR, and then 8 days at Royal Pacific. I have passes left over from an old trip. Girls are dying to see MK. So we are going to use those 1 day passes. Looks like we are getting everything ironed out. Found a great rate for 3 days of car rental. $100 for an intermediate car and 1 car upgrade at check in. Just need it to get from airport to hotel, run to grocery, and back to second hotel. Universal charges $18 per day to park:scared1: so we are ditching the car. Still working on Universal tickets. Thinking 4 days is more than enough. Want to really enjoy the parks and resort. Looking forward to down time.

Everyone is getting so close.

Hope great Fathers Day to all.:yay:
 
Hey everyone! Is it too late for me to join?

My family and I are going back to Disney this July for the third year in a row. We were going to skip this year, but I couldn't stand the thought and talked my dh into going again. ;) I have 2 boys who are 10 and 7, and my ILs will also be joining us on the trip. We will all be at AKL together, but while we'll be at pop saving a little cash, they'll be at the GF.

We have been going in June, but this year are going in July. I don't mind the heavy crowds--just hope it's not too much hotter! Looking forward to chatting with you all! :)
 
32 days to go!!!

Decided to add a few lunch ADR's last night!!! Still tweeking them :)
