Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too........ Part 2

[CRdisMom]

Where's the summer home? My P's is in Mukwonago Wis and it is also a house. We have always called it "the cottage"...silly. I decided not to go today and just stay home with our high maintence puppy!

Okay so I am at work and I'm leaving DIS minimized. The cabins are in Brainerd, MN (3 hrs north of me) and Balasm Lake, WI( 1 1/2 hr Northeast of me).

Bummer! Just googled our WI summer homes and they are 5 1/2 hours apart. Thought maybe they would be closer!

Gotta run!
I keep just checking in randomly!

Hey - has anyone ever done the photopass dvd? Just wondering if it is worth the $$ that it costs...

Yes! It is well worth it because then you can print your own pix via your own printer, web sites like Clar or at your local place! The key is to preorder the CD, go to every photopass person you see and then when you get back edit and add every kind of border you can imagine to all your pics THEN save it & have it sent to you!

 

[Debbie6221]

BTW It is VERY time consuming doing the editing and borders but WELL WORTH it in the end.

I already preordered the CD, but this is the DVD I am talking about Debbie. I guess you put your pictures in it, it mixes them with the Photopass pics, and standard Disney ones and puts it to Disney music. $79

I just priced out our beach trip. When does that free dining special end? I actually think Disney might be just as cheap...

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

That is me to the left. Eating my words. Poly, 5 nights, free dining, 3 day non-hopper tickets... $2100. Beachfront condo $800, Food $300.

Hi everyone! Back from my shopping extravaganza! Got a bunch of new tshirts and some capris and shorts. Had to get a size bigger, but it's amazing how much better you feel about yourself when you're not squeezing into clothes that are too tight. I felt good in my new clothes! Yeah!

Welcome home Erin! Rest up and then catch up! Be prepared woman - we're gonna want pictures and we're gonna want them soon!

I nominate you to be the guinea pig with this one. I've never done it but have also wondered about it. You do it and tell us what you think!

I did the cd as Debbie described - glad to hear you got it too. I had @240 pix on my cd; when I was done adding borders and signatures - had close to 500! I downloaded all of them to shutterfly - took forever - but now I order them as I'm ready for them.

Going to have dinner; will probably be back! Later, dudettes!

work is slow today. I keep checking in to see if anyone is here. I am pre-ordering the photopass too. Can't wait to see how many pix we get. I plan to order book from Walgreens when we get back. The will print all your pictures in a book. Instant scrapbook!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

I have lots of dimples. Unfortunately, they live on my thighs. I found this really great swim short that you can mix and match tops with before my trip. If you might like that sort of thing, I HIGHLY recommend it. I also got the DD top that works for me being a size G. It isn't cheap, but it was AMAZING at the pool....FYI

Laura, that is what I came up with too. I didn't like the limited amount of space you could insert text on the Photopass version - for $70. It did have neat graphics, but It didn't wow me.

Speaking of Wow. Saw a cool thing today that I thought I would share...

WOW

The deed is done. I finished my photopass cd. Can you believe we only had about 34 stinking photos? I stretched it out to 105 modifying them! I just can't believe that I was so stupid as to not realize that photographers were in all the Char lines! Oh Well! We did get lovely ones at the character dining - and probably much better shots too! There is one of the two of us in front of the castle that I love!

I've been checking out Ebay - my word - people pay more there for things than I would have ever imagined. A USED Jumperoo was going for $45 plus $20 shipping! Isn't a new one like $65?

Off to feed the kiddos and actually do some house work!
