Looking for Control Freaks & Worry Warts - Part 4!!!

[lshaw6]

Nice job, Tammie!! Wow, a cruise to Jamaica, lucky you! You must have worked really hard for that one. I bet you are counting the days til the grandkids get there. I hope you all have a wonderful visit with them.

I truly wish I knew when my next Disney vacation was....lol. My husband's family is having a family reunion in Ohio at the end of this month so we are supposed to go to that. I was really hoping to go back to Disney in September or January...mostly so we could take advantage of the Homeschool Days that Disney offers. Convincing hubby will be a different story! I want to go to Universal also since HP will be open but he thinks if we do that then we don't need to do Disney too. I said no way......I can't go to Florida and not go to DW. It usually entails me putting aside money and then when I have enough saved I say ok, here is all the vacation money and then he usually agrees to go...lol. He likes Disney but he doesn't "love" Disney the way I do. Soooo, I don't have a definite date for our next trip. I can't wait til you go on your next vacation and post some pics!

Well thank you. We won't be going to Disney for about a year according to Jim. Sounds like you have alot going on, even though you won't be in Disney! I KNOW how can you go to Florida without WDW?

Hey Lisa! Just saw your friend request on FB!!! I have to admit I've really strayed from the DIS. I guess being on facebook is taking so much of my time.... but now that they reopened my TR from December I'm getting excited on the DIS again, plus our DISmoms TR will be starting soon!

It's funny, I labeled myself the Treasurer of Ellens fan club because I just spouted off one night, "so Ellen, where are we staying next year on your points?" So basically, I'm good at spending her points!!!

As usual it was a blast!!! I feel like I know Ellen even better now and Jeff and I are going to try to hook up with Ellen and Pods some weekend. And of course Cammie and I go "way back." I've met her now 4 times? And she is of course AWESOME! It was a first meeting Pam and she is truly the sweetest axe murderer I've evr met!!! Then it was Lonnie again from last year (Ellen's freshman year college roommate) and first trip for Joan, Ellens friend from NJ. Honestly, it's like I've known these women my whole life!!!

I can hardly wait for next year!!!!

Mommy.foster - welcome to our group!!! We are crazies all the way!!

Hey gang - check out my counter in my sig - 1200 more days!!!! DH says I actually can't start talking about the trip until I'm in triple digits - DARN! Oh well less than 300 more days until I can start planning!! yeah right - I'm making my ADR spreadsheet soon!

Still thinking about changing my travel trailer into a Mickey kingdom! I've been looking at pictures people have provided of their houses and it's awesome!

Ok I have to move on Dd10 is practicing her dance for recitial!

 

[tttessa]

Tina - I think that's the longest ticker time I've seen!!!

Shows our newbies what dedicated control freaks and OCDers we are - don't frighten everyone away!!! We are nice folks - honest .....

This is definitely the place for you Lindzy - June isn't far away, you must be soooooo excited.

Tessa

 

[ShellyShellfish]

hey guys!! Just had to post because I have a fancy ticker now!

But of course, it might get pushed back to December if they extend FD. I'm kind of hoping for that actually.

But ADRs are made, deposit is paid and now the waiting game begins.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Kara! So fun to have you here! I feel like everyone is coming out to play. We can't forget the DIS is where we have made so many great friends.

Tina, for the countdown! You are so funny!

Shelly, congrats on your trip! You can make ADRs pretty soon!

Maybe Lindzy got scared of Tina's ticker!

 

[tttessa]

Shelly -

woohoo on the ticker - we'll miss each other by about 20 days......

I am going to have to work out where we will be and when to see if I can get a meet too!!!!

Tessa

 

[TinaLala]

Shelly - HOORAY!! on the ticker!

So DH and I had a conversation yesterday about what we would do if we won the lottery. We'd take a month to Disney - one week at GF, one week at BC, one week at WL and one week at P. You bet your butt we'd be sleeping Cinderella's castle for at least one night - I don't care who I have to pay to do that!! I wouldn't even care if the kids were in school! We'd hire a limo to take us to Universal so we could ride the Harry Potter stuff.


What would your Disney plans be if you won the lottery?

 

[CRdisMom]

tina--i don't dare dream of the lotto. I'd never get anything done. LOL

Tessa--we will be close on the dates. I have mine all laid out. I will send them to you.

okay miss I'm moving...are you going to keep your APs? If so any thoughts on an Oct trip?

 

[ShellyShellfish]

Tammie - ADRs are all made! Just waiting for the 180 day mark so I can make them for December now too as a back up. I'm really kind of hoping our trip does get pushed back for multiple reasons.

Tessa - aww! It seems like quite a few of us have fall trips planned!

Tina - I'd probably do something similar to you, just take nice long trips and stay at all the top resorts. I'd want to do top of the line everything. Oh it's wonderful to dream....I priced out a fantasy trip once and it was like $30,000. Insane. I'll stick with my under $3,000 trips, thanks.

 

[CRdisMom]

i had the worst time with my ADRs. I'm leaving two deays completely open One is a beach day and the other is to eat around Epcot since it will be FF&W. I'm terrified. Nothing worse for a complusive planner than leaving something open. I love having smileys hee-hee

Any place that you would never miss??

 

[soontobewed07]

Hi girls I missed you over here. I have been trying to get info together for the December trip and my brother has decided to join us. I am really hoping to get club level and be able to finalize everything. If we don't get CL we are going to book DDP again even though I am not really looking forward to it. It didn't go so well last time but I guess we shall see.

 

[TinaLala]

Ok places we never miss by park

MK - Buzz Lightyear, Pirates, Ariel's Grotto, Barnstormer, Wishes, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World

AK - Lion King

DHS - Beauty & Beast show, Ariel Show, 3pm parade, Lights, Motor, ACtion, MuppetVision 3D, tattoos outside the Muppets, Toy Story ride

E - Soarin, France's pastry shop, Figment, Club Cool, Spaceship Earth, Test Track

Wow that's a lot.

 

[lshaw6]

OOOh, I did love that lottery question! I'd do the same thing....go straight to Disney while they were building my new house...that would be very close to Disney.

Our must do's....

Well, my daughter must have a turkey dinner at POR, it is her favorite thing to eat at Disney other than a steak at Planet Hollywood.

My son must ride Goofy's Barnstormer.

I must shop at Basin and get my bath bombs....therapy being my favorite scent there, although I do love the one that has little Mickey heads in it that float in your bath when it dissolves.

Hubby......must complain about something, it never fails.

We do try to ride Soarin in Epcot every trip, It's a Small World in MK, The safari ride at AK and The Great Movie Ride at HS.

Now....if you happen to throw out the question "What have you NOT ridden at DW?"....I could make you a list there! I guess atleast it gives us something new to try every time we go tho.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hey! was just posting and lost it - ready for my 'granny nap" so I'll just say Hi! and YAY for ADRs, Michelle!

 

[DizzyErin]

Hi girls, my goodness i haven't been here in soooo long, it's too depressing when you don't have a trip to plan, and with all the drama that happened i've no idea if it'll happen!!!! Anyway i wanted to say hello here, i must get back to my TR before they close me like they did you Kara, when i'm feeling better i will do a load of catching up, after all i met up with 2 of you girls all in one holiday!!

So glad we met too! Feel better soon so we can find out how the rest of your trip went. I'm curious to see what SIL did next and if anyone put her in her place b4 the trip was over.

 

[CRdisMom]

im dying to go NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love my girls but I need to GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TinaLala]

Laura - I hear you all the way!! I'm home with DD7 this weekend and I'm thinking how much fun it would be to be at Disney with her!!

I so wish we could go! Has anyone looked at the weird pictures? I check out the picture of the day post everyday - it doesn't help, but it I can't resist!

So I've added a new ticker on there for my wishful thinking vacation - IF DH gives in I want to have a countdown ready.
