Way to go, Keahi, on your Mouseketeer status!
I think I have a measly 15 posts, or something like that. I've viewed DISboards many times in the past, especially before our trips, and in between some to keep that Disney spirit alive, but have been shy about posting! Well, look at me now! I just can't get enough! I shy away from giving advice or opinions on a lot of things, but love to read everyone else's, and just let it all mix and decide for myself what I want to believe/do. I love this place! CONGRATS! Post away!
Pam is in WDW, or at least on her way. How wonderful for her!
I would love to get away for 10 days somewhere, especially WDW! Our trips there have been 4 days, now 7. I can't wait to hear about her trip and see pics (something that I need to learn how to do)!
I have a ticker!
I just did it this AM. I've tried before, unsuccessfully, but this time it worked! I need to spice up my signature some, but not too much, as I don't want the signature police coming after me! DEBBIE!!!
Tessa, How exciting to travel overseas for a vacation!! The longest flight I've ever been on has been 3 hours, except for the trips to/from Hawaii when we lived there when I was a little girl, but I do not remember. Those of you who do the long flights, ESPECIALLY W/KIDS!, deserve a badge IMO (Debbie, thanks for the abbreviations list tip, I'm trying!). I get so ancy myself, and try to think of things to entertain my kids on our long (only 3 hour!) flights. Not so much any more, now that they're older, but when they were young. Hopefully, you can plan it when you all can sleep on the plane? That is what I would do if I could, as I have no trouble sleeping on the plane whatsever (or anyplace else, for that matter). My DH freaks out at take off and landing, and GRABS my arm. It scares me half to death if I am asleep, but I don't think of bad things when we fly, only good things - WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!! (or wherever). I bet they do have first timer pins. I think I remember reading that on the board one time. Just ask at your resort or at the ticket counter when you enter the park. OK, here I am ALMOST giving my opinion on something! That is what I would do! You are 6 hours ahead of us in Texas. I have team members at work that work in London.
It's about 7am here, so about 1pm Tessa's time. I've been up about an hour, enjoying my quiet time until the troops get up. The puppies don't know the difference between weekdays and weekends, and they start getting ancy about 5:30am, the normal weekday get up time. My youngest daughter and I are going to go to her friend's dance recital, then to lunch w/the friend and her mom. I enjoy this time on the weekends in the AM. I am an early riser, and the rest of them sleep later, so I have me time. It's so peaceful.
I don't turn on the tv, stereo or talk on the phone. I just bask in the silence.
We're taking a road trip to Branson, MO at the end of July. It's a 7 hour drive. We've never been, and I am looking forward to it. I love road trips, but my impatient DH doesn't. I like to stop at interesting places along the way, stop for eats and drinks, and he just wants to get there as quick as possible. Of course I make him stop. I remember cross country trips as a kid, telling my dad I had to stop, and having to hold it for what I thought was eternity. As for Branson, I think we'll have fun. Since we're going to WDW in the fall, I didn't want to spend too much money, or take too much time off work this summer (I have 21 days, and take them mostly when the kids have holidays during the school year. In January, I'll have 26), so we decided to do this. Besides, when I was in Bass Pro (DH's fave place) shopping for Father's Day, I was approached by a salesman about buying 2 nights in a hotel in one of several locations, for $49, just to check out this resort and listen to their 90-min. pitch. He threw in $50 worth of Bass Pro gift certs, so it's free. We bought an additional dicounted night in the Radisson, so we leave on a Thurs AM, and come back on a Sun PM. We'll just see a couple of shows, shop, eat, swim in the hotel pool, and relax. Has anyone here been to Branson? My IL's and DH's grandparents go a lot and like it.
Sorry my posts are so long all. Thanks for listening. You all are great! A big hug to all of you!
Have a wonderful Saturday and weekend!!!
Now I am back to reality - my son moved away, but they stayed with us on Tues night, and we will see them this Sat when we take our trailer out to the lake.
Are you sure you can't take us in your suitcase?
). I love them !!!! Why, oh why, did I wait so long !? Comfy, comfy, comfy...
) Maybe I can convince him to try the Athens...
I told him that real men DO wear Crocs!
? It is just one of the best feelings in the world!!
Will you go thru withdrawls from this place? Probably not, but you might miss everyone. Even tho I'm new, we'll miss you! Be careful, and have a blast!!!
