Magicians & Jugglers & a Clown Slide, OH MY! We're going to the BWI... A Nov 2010 PTR

[Disney Mommy 3]

Good morning Shawna! Are you getting super excited???

DS's new shirt says The Fab Four on it in the lower right corner. It is very cute!

We don't do signature dining either. But sometimes I do like to change if we are heading out to just go to dinner and not a park. The kids will probably take their tennis shoes and a pair of sandals. Then they like to take their flip flops just to wear to the pool!

That will be nice when you give your DD your watch someday. I bet she will love it!

Hey! Yep...we are getting excited!!! I keep telling Mike."this many days"..yesterday he was like WOoooo HOoooo!! LOL...we need a vacation. Ha! We have lots going on this month as far as business...so the week we have off is perfect...then we can just slouch around Thanksgiving week! My ticker says 29, but today is actually 30 days!! I have started working on the kids snack bags for park days...so, I will be focusing on that and packing little toiletries and all in a box this weekend...Try to add a little each week, then the Mon before head to the Post Office!!!!! I was going to say also, that going from 2 kids to 3 makes a lot of difference in a room space-wise....not as much room for mommy to bring extra shoes...or anything extra really!!!

Shelly- Your DS do have quite a collection of Disney Shirts, I love DS9 newest one. Since I no longer have any kids to buy for I picked up 4 Disney Shirts for myself and also a sweat jkt earlier in the spring, I expected to have lost a few more pounds by now but instead have put on a few so not sure if my new shirts will be traveling with me or not this trip

I have to ask what is SAI? I keep seeing you guys mention it and can not for the life of me figure out what it stands for ?

We are doing the countdown every day too!! DH is so ready for a break from work.

That is true, if we had one more kid there probably wouldn't be room for all my shoes!!

Yes, the boys have a lot of Disney shirts. They have lot of clothes period! I can't imagine the clothes I would buy if I had a girl

SAI is San Angel Inn! We are having dinner there one evening. I have wanted to try it forever but always chicken out!

Hey Shelly! I can't believe that I didn't know you had started a pre-trip report. Well, yes I can believe it....I haven't been on the Dis much lately as my brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and died just three weeks later.

But, I'm not back to the Dis and, thanks to your handy dandy links, I am all caught up. I can't believe how much your boys have grown since your first Disney trip.

 

[JoBird]

Whew- I'm glad the bananas are only here for one night. They have too much energy.

Okay so- your boys have too many disney shirts to choose from! Sooooooo cute!
Did you get the new shirt from the Disney store?

I don't know how you'll decide what to take b/c I like them all.



I forgot to even tell you about my necklace, i think.
We got it in Germany- but they had them in the jewelry store on Main St as well. I love it. I'll try to take a pic and show you.
I try not to wear it often, but only on days I'm really needing that "fix".

Like today.............
And yesterday.

And perhaps even the day before that.

 

[sjs314]

Duh me lol I should have been able to figure that SAI stood for San Angel Inn, I am slipping in my old age

DH and I have talked about eating there since our first visit to WDW and have never made it, so I had planned on making an ADR for there this trip but DH said he wanted to try Le Cellier another we have talked about trying Ind never have and DS said he rather have steak and Ddil has stomach problems so SAI is a no go once again. I am not a fan of spicey food , I just would like to eat there because of the nighttime outdoor setting.Will be waiting to read your review of SAI

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry. I didn't know that. I guess that's why I haven't seen you much on the boards just lately. I will be praying for your whole family.

I'm so glad you are here now.

Thanks for the prayers! We were all shocked by the diagnosis since nothing showed up on tests they had done when he had a stroke in November of last year. Thankfully, he didn't have to suffer long.

Woohoo - that's quite a show those fellows put on!!!!

 

[JoBird]

They're practicing very hard for you.

They are obnoxious at times, I know.
I'll tell them to tone it down a bit.

Please take a pic of your necklace, I really want to see it!

I always think it looks so neat in there when we go by on the boat ride! But the place gets mixed reviews. Hopefully we will love it! I will be sure to do an extensive review for you either way!

Thanks for the prayers! We were all shocked by the diagnosis since nothing showed up on tests they had done when he had a stroke in November of last year. Thankfully, he didn't have to suffer long.

Now that you mention it I do remember him having health issues last year.
That's a shame they didn't catch it sooner, especially when they were doing all those tests.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

A few thinks I picked up this summer for the trip. . . . .


I went into the Totes & Sunglass outlet store looking for sunglasses and came out with the most comfy flip flops and a bag. Didn't really need another bag, but it was cute and it was half price since I was buying the shoes. Couldn't pass up a good deal like that!

And we recently got a Kohl's in the area and it is my new love! Lots of great clothes in there!

I got 2 dresses and a swimsuit cover-up ~

 

[T*Bird]

Cute, cute dresses!! And I love the sandals and bag, too. Did you come home and tell your DH how you saved some money? I've learned to preface everything by saying something like, "It was buy one, get one free" or "I had a 50% off coupon" or "It was on clearance" before I tell him how much I spent. They don't know how lucky they are to have such penny-pinching wives.

Isn't it crazy to be packing sundresses to wear in November? Not to mention swimsuits!

Speaking of San Angel Inn, when you check in for your ADR, tell the hostess you'd really like a table right near the water, if you think that's where you'd like to sit. I remember the tables there being very close together, so sitting along the wall overlooking the water gives you a better view and isn't so cramped.

Thanks! Of course I always start by telling DH how it was on sale or how I had a coupon!!

It is so nasty here, I can't wait to get into some sunshine and sundress weather in Florida!!!

Thanks for the tip about SAI. I will definitely do that!

 

[jenjolt]

Love the new purchases!! The dresses are gorgeous!!!

 

[danceintherain]

Cute clothes!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

LOVE that purple dress and your DS's new t-shirt!!

I have a bunch of Disney jewelry. I have Mickey head "diamond" earrings, a Mickey watch that I wear everyday (it's just mickey at the 6 and it's silver and gold), an old mickey watch, a tinkerbell watch, Murano glass bracelet and necklace from Italy at Epcot, um, I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting.

I got DD9 a pair of Mickey earrings with her birthstone and gave them to her when I let her know she could get her ears pierced. (couldn't wear them for 6 weeks though). Got some for DD7 and put them away. She's not ready yet!
My girls have lots of cute bracelets and necklaces - lots of Tinkerbell!!

Mickeystoontown - I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure it must be terribly difficult.

 

[danceintherain]

We booked! CBR - Nov 7-12!!!
Maybe we'll run into each other!? I'll be the crazy person lugging around the 15 lb 3 month old!
