LINK TO MY TR POSTED 10/30 - I'm Ali & I'm Addicted to Disney Planning - Oct '10 PTR

Congrats on getting your dog training certificate. Yay on loosing some weight.:woohoo:

Woohoo on 30 days! I seemed to have missed my 30 day mark, now it is 27. Think I am trying to make the time slow down a bit, so much left to do. Though I am ready to go!

Whoa, you are already doing some packing. Come help me!!!:rotfl2:
 
Congrats on the certificate! :yay:

And more yay for pre-packing! :lmao: I have some stuff just jammed into my carry-on bag at the moment. I'm not going to pack for another few weeks, though.
 
Congrats on finishing your dog obedience class! That sounds like a fun job! I've always wanted to be a pet groomer but I wouldn't even know how to get into that!

And congrats on your clothes fitting! :cool1: I'm so worried about what I'm going to wear while I'm in WDW, this weight loss thing just did not work out for me. I had 4 months and now I'm down to 8 weeks. :confused3 I'm just going to work really hard for those 8 weeks and see what happens, I guess! And hope that by my next trip, I'm finally skinny! :rotfl:

I love the picture of the dogs, they are adorable! :lovestruc

The online school I use is Penn Foster. They actually offer an online grooming course, but I'm not sure how it works yet. I plan to take it at some point, but I don't have the money for it right now. Just go to pennfoster.com and you can have them send you some info.

I know I will never be "skinny". I'm just not built that way. My cousin is like 5'8" and stick thin and just beautiful and I know I'll never be that way. Both of her parents are thin, neither of mine are. It's just genetics, unfortunately (and ice cream...and cookies....:rolleyes1 ) but I am working hard to at least get so that I'm comfortable in my own skin! I'm sick of trying to hide myself...I only make myself look worse!

Thanks re: the picture. It's one of my faves! :cutie:

Thanks! And yes, I am packing already! I actually printed out my packing list and did a little more today while I was cleaning. I got a lot of our toiletries packed and I packed the tank tops I want to bring with me since I know I won't be wearing them until then.

Congrats on the certificate! :yay:

Thank you :flower3:

I know that if I wait until the weekend before we leave, it will end up waiting until the night before we leave, and then I will forget things. I'd rather do what I can now, and only have to pack a few last minute things at the...well...last minute! :rotfl2:

My last Flashback post is coming up next!
 
OK so my final Flashback Trip (and the only reason this is my final one is because I did actually TRs for the remaining ones...The links are in my sig for anyone who wants to venture back!) is from May 2006.

The cast was: Me, Lumar, Mike, and Lumar's younger brother, Robby.

We were in WDW from May 14 - May 20, 2006 and we stayed at All Star Movies.

We were in Fantasia but in one of the Toy Soldier buildings.

We had no ADRs so we ate QS for every meal, DHS was still MGM, there was no such thing as EE, and we did a TON of character greets. We had finally learned about FP, but ended up waiting in line for an hour to ride Soarin' because all the FPs were gone by the time we got there. Oh, and it was raining on our Epcot day.

We have a lot of PP pics, but you will see me missing from a lot of pictures so either there was no PP photographer around or I totally missed him/her.

I was also still using film at this point so some of the pics are blurry and of course, scanner quality. And I just thought I would point out that I spent 30 minutes scanning and editing all of these, only to find that I had already scanned them, PRIOR to them going into the scrapbook. Out of spite, I used the duplicates just so that my hard work didn't go to waste!

Here are some MK pics:

This is one of my favorite pics ever:

When we got in line to meet the princesses, Lumar had left the line to go to the bathroom and the CM guarding the line wouldn't let him back in so he missed these two.

That's us in the middle row. Can you tell this ride really scares me?

Here are some Epcot pics:

My brother has this thing with hats...I don't know why, but everytime he puts on a weird or silly hat, he has to make some kind of facial expression to go along with it. This was in Canada:

Here are some MGM pics (and I can call it that, because that's what it was at the time of the trip!)

You know how they have those photo ops where you can super-impose your head into a magazine cover or another character's body? Lumar chose this one:

Yes, we went for Star Wars Weekend. Yes, it was fun. Yes, it was extremely crowded!

So there you have it! Of course, that's not ALL of my pics, I have a whole scrapbook done...but those were my favorites.

Robby ended up going to work for WDW as part of the College Program through his culinary school. He worked at Hollywood & Vine and loved it! He had such a great time and it helps him having that he cooked for 800 people a day on his resume! Of course, I remember the morning his flight was leaving Lumar and I brought him to the Limo station which would then bring him to the airport. He was so nervous he forgot his wallet (which took him and Lumar 15 minutes to find), and as we were going through his other stuff, we found that he tried to pack his knife set (as in his kitchen knives) in his carry on! THAT would have been interesting, no?
 

I love the pic of the boys being all hardcore with the guns, juxtaposed with the one where they're in the stocks wearing Mickey ears!

And congratulations (on both counts!)!

They cracked me up on that trip. I have a pic from our 2007 trip with my brother wearing Minnie ears.... I wish so badly he could have come with us this year again!

And thank you! :goodvibes

I need to have my brother do that on our reunion trip :lmao:

My brother loves hats! I'm pretty sure his baseball cap is glued to his head because I never see him without it. But when we go to WDW, he is all about trying on hats. It makes for good pictures and fun!

ETA:
Here is a link to a page in my 2007 TR. The first hat you see my brother in, is actually Lumar's. This is a strange phenomena...Lumar buys a hat and my brother ends up wearing it the entire trip.... Then you see Mike wearing...well....you'll just have to see it to believe it

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: I bet he'd have an AWESOME time at WDW! he looks like a fun-loving type of guy!

I certainly will! they sound delish!

:lmao: That's what I keep telling him! I really hope this family reunion works out, since I'd love to go to WDW with my brother and sister. I really think he'd like F&W, too, since we're going around that time. He LOVES seafood, so I think he'd love Coral Reef and Narccoossee's.

I really hope you like them! :)

They were really good! I modified it slightly by adding a little bit of ketchup but they were really good! Thanks again! (Dang! I should've taken pics! :rotfl2:)
 
So today is our 28 day mark and.....

We got more Mickey Mail! :woohoo::woohoo:


And after a week long battle with the post office (who refuses to leave packages in the mail foyer of the apartment building), they FINALLY delivered the new bathing suit I ordered! I tried it on, and it fits PERFECTLY! I'm so happy! This is obviously not me, but this is what it looks like:

I also went to Old Navy on Saturday and Lumar bought me a couple of shirts, then I ordered some jeans and a pair of capris from the ON website so I'm just waiting for those to come! :cool1::cool1:

I'm glad that you liked them! I learned how to make them that way from my godmom, and I love making that recipe. It's so simple, but so so tasty!

Yay for Mickey mail and bathing suits! :yay: :yay: I got my Mickey mail today, too! :yay: :lmao: Funnily enough, the first thing I thought of was "I wonder if Ali got hers yet" :rotfl:

That bathing suit is really cute, too! I'm glad you finally got it. I really think that the USPS needs to reevaulate their service and a lot of their employees. Our mail carrier is really bad and consistently delivers the mail incorrectly, or marks a package as delivered when it's not there or "attempted to deliver" when they didn't even ring the doorbell. :headache: Oh well.

And yay for new clothes! :yay: My mom let me use her credit card last night for some clothes for my trip :lmao:

The first thing I thought when I got mine was "Oooh! Dana and Jenny should be getting theirs soon!" :rotfl2: That's so funny!

I swear, our postman just makes his own rules based on his moods. Sometimes, he leaves the packages in the mail foyer, sometimes he leaves them with the leasing office, and sometimes he leaves a card saying "delivery attempted." Just leave it there! There's only 10 people in our building, I think I'll figure it out if someone steals it! Fed Ex and UPS just leave it there, so why does the mailman have to give me a problem? And of course, he never comes at the same time...sometimes he is there at 9am and other days he doesn't come til after 4pm. My clothes from Old Navy were shipped today (thankfully by UPS!)!

I got more packing done last night! Except for the pair of capris I ordered from Old Navy, my clothes and toiletries are completely packed!

:rotfl2::rotfl2: That's too funny! Yay for friends, I guess! :lmao:

There've been quite a few times where our mail carrier has put on the tracking that they tried to deliver and left a notice, but there's never a notice on the door. We complain, but nothing ever happens. And yeah, FedEx and UPS just leave it there, so I don't get what the problem is with USPS :confused3

Yay for being done packing! I would pack, but I know that I'd just re-pack by the time I leave :lmao:

Did you notice that your ticker now says 4 weeks? :teeth:
