Just Turned 21, Just Engaged, Just Married! A Trip FULL of Reasons to Celebrate!!

[xoktenox]

Happy Sunday everyone! It's gray, cool and rainy here today and apparently will stay like this for the next few days Just makes me look forward to that Florida sunshine and heat even more! I wanted to pop over here today to say that Chris and I are finally in the teens!

19 days to go!!

All of us are so beyond excited, I don't know how we're going to last that long lol Kimmy, Lauren and I text each other daily just to say "X amount of days to go!" or talk about one of the kids doing something cute that's Disney related. Then we end up going on a tangent together about how excited we are Chris says to me everyday for the past month, "Babe I'm so excited I can't wait to be there again" so it's not even just us girls!

Also, as Kimmy and Lauren mentioned, they made 2 more ADRs at Kona Cafe and Via Napoli, dinner and lunch respectively. I was hoping one of those was on a day where Chris and I could crash their ADR lol Via is the day of our pictures and I was hoping we'd hop over to AK afterwards so that was out. Kona was for June 9th, dinner and Chris and I had the Mama Melrose's Fantasmic package booked for that day. I knew Chris really wasn't too keen on seeing Fantasmic (we haven't seen it since April 2009) so I texted him to ask him which he preferred, MM or Kona...his answer, "Definitely Kona!" So, Kona it is! I cancelled our MM Fantasmic package and we'll be eating as a group of 7 at 5:25 June 9th! I hope the girls don't mind that we totally crashed their ADR and I totally invited us to join them

1st off- I want to go and check out those capri's as well. I did a little shopping looking for shorts- "comfort" was my main concern in terms of wearing them all day, dealing if they get wet, and with the heat and I just couldn't find anything I liked or looked good I me. I ended up getting a 2 pairs of shorts... but they weren't exactly what I wanted. I might go there sometime before we go- if I find time!

It's also gray, colddd, and rainy here too today- it makes me sad. I just packed up my ugg boots and now I want them back today. I don't do good with cold or even cool weather at all.

YAYYY for the teens!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Yay! I'm so excited you're getting so close! I just realized that I need to get that money sent to you!!

Kona is so good. Good choice..even though that means you won't get to see our "friend" at MM!

 

[Disneybuckeye]

I'm a little (ok, a lot) late to this party, but now I am joining in.

Two months ago DH and I were at my happy place having a great trip. One month from now I will be stuck at work. 7 months and 1 day from now I will be back at my happy place!

Dining comments: We had the gyro type meal with baklava for dessert at Tangerine Cafe. Loved it. Was not impressed with Cape May for dinner. Looking forward to hear what Kristen has to say. Kimmy, glad you have a Kona ADR as if I remember correctly you really like that place. I also agree with you on the Butterfinger cupcakes.

Clothing: Lauren, the Capris are really cute and I love Kristen's dress for the pictures. Hope you post some of the shots.

Hope you all have a great trip and I am so jealous that you are so close!

Ugh, same here. My weather app is showing allllllll rain. I'm very upset b/c I got a new pair of flip flops and I wanna wear them One day, it will be summer here!

Kona Cafe and Via Napoli are two places I am dying to try. And I am so excited you are in the teens already!

 

[Disneylove1228]

Just caught up on this! I'm so glad I saw it!! You guys are going to have the best trip ever! LOVE all your plans! Kristen, where did you get your dress? LOVE it!

I love all our texts..and videos...and countdowns!! The anticipation buildup is PHENOMANAL!! We sure know how to get excited!! AHHHH I can't wait!!

And of course we don't mind you crashing our ADR!! Now we are even more excited for it...clinking pineapples will be so much better when we're all together!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

YAYYY for the teens!!

I've gotten the most comfortable shorts from American Eagle or Aero, so definitely check those places out if you have ones near you! I had on a plaid pair from AE last year after riding Kali and they were fine, comfort wise.

We have been overcast here in CO so much lately! The sun is coming back out today though!!

I'm a little (ok, a lot) late to this party, but now I am joining in.

Better late than never!! Glad you are here!!

At least you have another trip in the works!! I don't think any of us now when we'll be back after this trip. But let's not talk about that...Hope our trip helps get you through until you are back again!

Yes, yes! I LOVED Kona last time. okay...I'll be honest...I LOVED the butter haha. The rest of the meal was pretty good too, but I always look back fondly at the butter. I may request my own cup of it, seeing how calories don't count on vacay and all that.

Ugh, same here. My weather app is showing allllllll rain. I'm very upset b/c I got a new pair of flip flops and I wanna wear them One day, it will be summer here!

Kona Cafe and Via Napoli are two places I am dying to try. And I am so excited you are in the teens already!

What is with this rain!! Goodness!! At least here in CO, our sun in finally peeking back out! Hope it comes back for you too, so you can debut your flippies!!

I have had both Kona and Via and LOVE them...can't wait to be going back! They are heavenly!!

Just caught up on this! I'm so glad I saw it!! You guys are going to have the best trip ever! LOVE all your plans! Kristen, where did you get your dress? LOVE it!

YAY!!! So glad you are here!! We are SO EXCITED!!

 

[princess_momma]

Good morning all!! Now Lauren and I are also officially in the teens!!

I seriously cannot believe how close we are getting!! AHHHHHHHHHH I'm so excited. We have so many plans to show Disney a good time!! I can't believe I am lucky enough to go with SUCH a great group of people!! I can't wait!!

I, unfortunately, am not getting any new clothes like everyone else, but I just went to Mexico in March and got new summer-y clothes then! I plan on bringing shorts and dresses basically!! haha.

Landon has been pulling out his Disney scrapbook a lot lately and looking at it. (The one from when he was 10 months because I still haven't made one from our trip last year! ) He's getting excited too!! Can't wait to take him back, I love seeing his face on everything!!

AHHHHHH I just can't focus at work I'm so excited!!

19 days, 19 days,
19 DAYS!!!

Hey Everyone! I tried replying, but it won't let me multi-quote right now. I have no idea why, but I promise I'll respond as soon as it lets me!

Here's a video of Jake (and Mallory!) telling yall how many days we have left until Disney! I just turned the camera on & he just went at it.. I didn't tell him what to say at all... as you'll soon find out. He insisted on holding Mallory, too.



(I asked him what he said at the end and he told me that he didn't know what else to say so he was speaking "jibberish". )


We also got a wonderful surprise from Kristen in the mail today! She sent us a copy of the 4 Parks, 1 World cd!!!! WE LOVE IT!!!

 

[wdhinn89]

Lauren- That video is sooo cute!

Kristen- I also live in Long Island. I thought yesterday had bad weather, but at least it was kind of warm. Today is freezing and misty and gross!! Its May, its supposed to be nice out! haha

You're right, yesterday was fairly warm, especially compared to today! I don't think my car thermometer read over 58 degrees today. NOT COOL for May!! What part of the Island are you on? I love meeting fellow LIers!

[lauren_elizabeth]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE SWEET COMMENTS ABOUT JAKE'S VIDEO!

It's still not letting me multi-quote, but it's now finally letting me click on the smilies, so we're making progress here! YEAH!

We're down to 18 days! 18 DAYS! Can you believe it!? I sure can't. I'm so flippin' excited!

 

[princess_momma]

How fun you went to Mexico! What part did you go to? I went to Playa del Carmen a year and a half ago, it was so nice!

Mexico was awesome!! I went to Cancun and absolutely loved it!! It was so relaxing and nice to know I was out tanning in a private cabana while it was snowing back home.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH for 19 days!!!!! I can't wait to meet you and Landon! FYI, I would sooooo take a Mexico trip and forfeit getting new clothes...just sayin. lol

That is adorableeeeeeee!!!! I can't wait to see you guys again and meet Mallory!! Glad you are loving your CDs!

Yay!! We cannot wait to meet you either!! I'm going to need to get back to Mexico asap. Although, I feel like it might be less fun if I'm paying for it. Lol jk! But yay!!!!!! I can't believe we're SO close!!

And I didn't get my cd yet. Dang living so far! I'm hoping today!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE SWEET COMMENTS ABOUT JAKE'S VIDEO!

[princess_momma]

WOW...18 days away!?!?!?! I can hardly believe it!! I'm so beyond excited!! I mean really...how am I supposed to focus on anything else when I am THAT close?? I don't think it's possible!!

Landon has been uber cute lately. Can't wait for him in Disney again! Lately, his favorite movie is "The Lion King" and although he knows Simba's name, the other night we were watching it and at the part in "Hakuna Matata" when they are jump in the water, Simba jumps in and Landon goes "Where's the Lion King?" Then when you can see him again, Landon goes "Oh! There's the Lion King!" I thought it was so cute!!

Last night, he asked for "the mouse movie" and I thought he meant my WDW movie that Kristen got me, even though he usually calls that "the Mickey Mouse movie". Turns out he meant Ratatouille though. So cute.

OH and, AND last night we watched "The Brave Little Toaster". I'm sure you guys have heard of the whole huge Pixar thing "A113". Its appears in every Pixar movie...well it's also in The Brave Little Toaster. Joe Ranft does a voice in there...he's also Wheezy in TS2, the director of A Bug's Life, and the producer of Wall-E. I always thought it was a newer Pixar thing...although I guess TS did come in 1995. I was just surprised to see it in The Brave Little Toaster, which came out in 1987-I wasn't even born yet!

Anywho...that's enough random ramblings for today!! Back to work!!

Aww! Since Landon loves Lion King so much, we're definitely going to have to watch "Festival of the Lion King" Did he like that last year?

I've never noticed the "A113" thing. I'll have to look out for that! And I was born in 1987... I'm old! LOL!
