Magic flights, Pixie Dust, Chicken Fingers, Staples in life!**COUNTDOWN TO TR TIME!**

[LizSwann32]

well, i didn't win the award i told you all about. But it was an honor to be nominated and recognized for my work. And besides, i'm only a freshman so i have three more years, most of the winners were seniors. But my mom did my hair all 1940's/30's ish so I was happy about that!

anyway again, 12 days!!!! And yes tink1957 im very excited, and happy you stumbled upon my TR!

peace, Hayley

Hey Hayley,
Congrats on your nomination. I'm sure your mom and dad are very proud. I love the hair. What part/show were you nominated for? Sorry, I know this is off topic but as I said before my daughter is a theater major and our whole family has been involved with community theater for years. OK back to your trip report less than 2 weeks!!

I've been following along with your trip report - I wish my 14 year old was as into the planning for our trip- maybe once we're a little closer he'll get into it more. We are still at 49 days.

I have to ask........why are your pictures backwards?? I feel a need to read everything I see (bad habit from childhood - I used to even read the credits on TV game shows.....) and the titles of the books/movies behind your ever-shrinking chain are backwards.

my pictures are backwards because i take them with the camera on my dad's laptop. i just turn it around and take it. then it's already on the computer after that so its easier to upload! i know it must look strange!

ahhhh I was picturing mirrors being involved.... Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

 

[mom2disprincesses]

ahhh the pre trip shopping is my favorite part. I'm great at thinking of stuff we just have to get for our trip!

 

[LizSwann32]

no problem

 

[LizSwann32]

hey all! guess what? are you guessing...come on...okay i'll tell you with my SINGLE DIDGET DANCE! WOO HOOO!

So in all seriousness, its actually coming and we're all excited. our crocs promptly arrived yesterday and that added to the excitement building up inside all of us. I'm home today with my mom so we'll probably do some shopping, cleaning, and maybe she'll give me a haircut, (shes not a hairdresser shes a music teacher, and yet every time she cuts my hair people ask if i went to a salon! my grandpa comes over just for a haircut, so does my uncle its really funny) wow, . But anyway I figured this post would be all about our family traditions at WDW! I don't know how many there are but here they come!

Tradition #1- Every year before our trip my mom and I get manicure/pedicures.

Tradition #2- Every year the boys, my dad and brother,grow their hair out from about two weeks before the trip because they get their hair cut/colored/pixie dusted at the magic kingdom.

Tradition #3- Every year we always go to Whispering Canyon in the Wilderness lodge for our first night dinner.

Tradition #4- Every year we go to Cinderella's royal table for breakfast, and then we head straight for fantasy land, once we were there so early we needed to wait at the ropes in back of the castle before we went in.

Tradition #5- Okay, this one is a little weird. When i was little i made up this nonsense word, it sounds like this phonetically, ooo-goo-ooo-bay. And every year someone says it when we wake up on the day we are leaving for disney. because it's usually around 4 in the morning i think being tired combined with the excitement this word usually comes out.

That's all I can think of for now but there may be more! Well thanks for reading and maybe you all could share some of your own traditions!
Here's the chain!

Peace, Hayley

 

[LizSwann32]

oooh i thought of another tradition,

every year my 3 friends and i pass around a necklace with a silver charm of blue jeans. Since the magical pants from "the sisterhood of the traveling pants" do not exist we found our own and we write letters to each other and its a very cool thing we do! sorry if its but i had to share it!

[MissDisney121]

Hey Hayley,
I'm on board to read your TR. I really like your Pre-tr and I think it will be fun to read a tr from the point of view of someone younger. Lucky you that you guys are in the single digits, my fam and I still have almost 200 days left till our next trip.
later

It'll be here before you know it! thanks for reading and make a chain it really helps time go by!

 

[LizSwann32]

Hey everyone! I'm so excited we have eight days until we leave for disney. we've started preparations and everything is going according to plan. Saturday is the day we bring the suitcases down i think, and i think we're packing our carry-on luggage before that. It's all coming so quickly and we're very excited!

Anyway, I have a question, what is your favorite country to eat at in EPCOT, we've only really eaten in America, Germany, Canada, and Mexico (but i can barely remember that). So, what's your favorite place to eat in the Epcot countries? I'm very curious and I want to try something new.

So, here's the chain and I hope I'll have more to say tomorrow!


peace, Hayley

I'm baaaaack!!

I do love the Cantina de San Angel in Mexico. If you go right before Illuminations, you can snag a really good table!

We're dining en Italia for my BFF's birthday dinner
