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

[pbharris4]

Thank you for the pics Tink! You're kids are adorable. I will try this weekend to get pics on here. I don't have photobucket or shutterfly or photoshop or something, something...I know I have to upload, but I don't know how to get it to a good size that will be allowed. I am really a photo posting ho..oops meant virgin. (is there a blushing smiley?) I've followed the directions how to post a pic, but I think it's the sizing. I just got a digital camera last year (last one on earth to get one, probably.)

Lisa..awesome! You got the castle for breakfast at 8:10!!! That's when we went and it's a great time too!

Debbie, I m glad you finally made an appt!

Have to run.

Have a great week, ladies!

Pam

im doign ok. My aunt is planning on the big D and my moms gonna move in and help her raise the girls like my aunt did for her. So i have till july 30th to find a new home since they can only find 3 bedroom places (for 2 adults and two brats er i mean kids). they also have two cats(happy and the CRAB)

flyingbabyb - I know how hard it would be for me to afford a place of my own around here w/the pay I was getting when I worked. If I would move out farther west of Chicago it would be a little easier to afford a place. I hope you find a great new place.
Debbie - I just saw some more pictures of your family on the pix thread. I love how you have the same type of picture of your DD on the POTC ride. She has the most surprised look on her face. So cute.
I have some ques. about the CRT. How early were you there? I was going to allow about 25 min. to get to MK and try to get there 20 min. early. Is that enough time for pictures or do they want you in the castle 20 min. early?
Debbie, did your son get a sword even though you didn't have to pay for him?
If you guys had to pick a character meal or the Luau, would you think it was ok to go to the Luau instead because your kids will see the characters at Toontown? And are three days in the parks plus one day at a water park enough for a 2.5yr old? Wow, do I sound a little nervous about this vac. or what? Sorry so annoying, I just don't know anyone w/kids this age who have been to Disney.

Hi,
How will you be getting to the Magic Kingdom? Bus then boat? I wonder what time the actual first seating is and when do they start letting those people in. Three park days plus a water park day sounds good. I NEVER feel like I have enough time at WDW though ever. Are you doing just MK or the other parks too? What kind of hopper do you have? You could do the Luau since you are doing the castle. My son did get a sword. Here's a pic of our breakfast food. I forgot I took this....

Ask me anything. You are not annoying!

We are taking a taxi to the MK. I don't know about the ferry or monorail. I guess it would depend on how early we were there. Does the monorail run at that time? The park is supposed to open at 9:00 that day. We have 2 or 3 days left on our old passes and we were hoping we won't need to buy extra days. That way we can enjoy eating at more TS and buy souveneirs.
We are going to all four parks. I have a feeling, since I am like you and don't ever feel like we have enough days, that I will be buying at least a 1 day ticket. I love all the parks. I can't imagine skipping any.
That is so nice that they gave your son a sword. Thanks for the pic of the food.

 

[Debbie6221]

What ever that blitzy thing is...it's REALLY yummy!

 

[pbharris4]

We usually only go to 2 parks sometimes 3 when we go which is plenty for us. Two is even good for us and our 10 and 3yo DDs. When we go to a park though we don't go back to the room until after the fireworks. The Luau and the Castle should be fine. This Xmas trip we didn't do MK and to my 3 yo it wasn't Disney until she saw the castle (from the Contemp.)

 

[disneyohana]

Debbie - The food looks good. There was also French toast and waffles, right. My DH would be disappointed if there wasn't one or the other.
Thanks everyone for making me feel better about the parks. We usually spend the most time at Epcot & MK so the AK and MGM we might be able to do in one day. Do you guys like the Fantasmic show? We have never seen it.

 

[Debbie6221]

Here's a pic from the castle before breakfast at CRT.....

I don't think there are waffles or french toast??? I think the kids get french toast sticks with syrup. Who knows maybe it has changed.

I have never seen FANTASMIC if you can believe it.
We haven't done a lot of the bigger shows.

HI PAM!

 

[pbharris4]

We've never done Fantasmic either. This last time we actually got to see most of the park..last two times we changed our minds and went to Epcot and the other we just went there to eat at 50's PT. Lisa, I looked at your sig and was thinking it was mine. I thought to myself "Awesome we only have 4 months!" Then I realized it was yours. I am so jealous!

OK...I feel totally stupid. I thought you had to pay for photobucket and those upload photo storage sights. It's as easy as pie. I've been trying to resize photos in Microsoft photo editor and guessing at the right size, then uploading to the DIS and copying and pasting, and lalalalala. So I'll be posting some pictures. I'm embarrassed.

Our "Garden view"room 2812 at SSR was really DTD view!

Gingerbread house at Grand Floridian They had some realy good cookies there (non-gingerbread)

Pam, I love your pics. Your dd's are adorable!

I have seen Fantasmic. I really liked it, but it does have some dark elements. We saw it last January any my son and daughter were fine with it, although my FIL thought it was too scary for them. I would recommend doing the Fantasmic dinner package, especially at busier times, b/c you have to get to the theater at least 1 hour early if don't get the preferred seating. That is not very kid friendly!

I can't believe I leave for WDW so soon. I have to admit, I have not been a crazy planner this time. I think with so many little ones, you just have to go with the flow. I planned which parks we are going to and booked the ADRs, but if I have to cancel one or two, I won't be devastated. I really want to relax, but I don't know if that will be possible w/ my FIL and BIL there. Last year, when I was getting frustrated with my FIL, my DH sent me to get a massage. I thing that this time, I deserve a massage and a pedicure, at the least.

Does anyone else have Gymbucks? I am trying to pick out outfits to order. I want to order as early as possible to have them for WDW, but the baby girl clothes aren't coming up in my youngest DD's sizes online. I could go to the store, but then I get all confused about how much I am spending. My goal is to spend the minimum to use my Gymbucks. I think I have been spending my time obsessing about Gymboree instead of obsessing about WDW.

 

[pbharris4]

Thanks, Tink!

11 days..wish I could come with you. I didn't plan too much time time either. It was kind of nice. I am seriously planning the first week of our trip and the second we'll just hang by the pool. Yes you should get a pedicure too!

 

[Debbie6221]

LOVE the pix Pam!!!! Great job! You know you can resize at photobucket too, right? I have been being silly posting pix again. I actually post on that picture thread but can not compare to the awesome pix people take there.
When I was in WDW I would crack myself up when I would take a food picture. I just remembered that thread where people post ALL those food pix. I actually couldn't keep up with that thread there was SO...many food pix!
Tink....You sound like you have a great plan for your Prepared but ready to go with the flow. It will be so fun!
I LOVE Gymboree but am on a spending freeze right now. Last time I was there I wanted to get my DD the white capris with the Navy blue jacket/top. It was so cute but I refrained! I figure I will go back and hopefully down the road it will be on sale. You might be pushing it with the shipping time. You are cutting it close I think but then again I never had anything shipped from them.

Lisa...I asked my Mom and she thinks the first breakfast is at 7AM so you could get there really early if you feel like it. Check out the picture thread. There are a couple pix of the empty park

I heard from FROMSCRATCHMOM in a PM. She said she will check in soon...she's just busy.
HI EVERYONE else!!!!!

 

[Debbie6221]

Oh yeahhh....YES to manicure, pedicure, massage and possibley a facial if you would like...
And Pam..your younger DD looks just like you and your older DD is your DHs spitting image!

 

[pbharris4]

Hi..Debbie!!!!

Tink...I love Gymboree! I have been better about curbing my spending there with my youngest. She's literally really messy and it's hard to get the stains out, but I do still buy there. I have all my things in my cart and at midnight, if I am awake I'll enter the code in. People go to the store the night before and have them hold stuff. Last time there were gymbucks..thhis woman's tab literally came up to $900!! She got sooo much stuff. She must have cleared the clearance racks and then some. They are pretty good with shipping, but that 's a risk. I think the longest I've waited was maybe a week. I don't know where it ships from either. It's rather iffy, but I'd do it!

 

[pbharris4]

OMG! You know several people say that and I just don't see it! McKenna anyway. Meghan does look like Jim. Ok..back before I got pregnant when I could still wear a bikini and look good in it... my face may look like hers. She's got the cute chin dimple..comes f rom my dad and Jim's dad.

I forgot to resize..I was so excited I finally checked out photobucket and could post pics that it slipped my mind.

Have to run.

Pam :O)

 

[Debbie6221]

I like when the pix come up big though. They are more vibrant!

 

[pbharris4]

I agree, but wouldn't want all my flaws posted for the DIS to see. LOL
