Hi Grace,
I see you were back on page 3 can't have that. We're all a little bit crazy here Rosie so its no big deal for people to finally realize we're a little off center. Starting to think about what to take with me, the most clothes that match so I don't have to pack the entire closet. They want to charge for every suitcase so I'll have to pare down some. Remember 2 pair of sneakers and 1 water shoes, broke in sneakers. Laundry soap ,DRYER SHEETS ( ROSIE ) You watch I'll forget those things this year. 1 loud shirt so I'm easy to spot, I'll have to wear it on the plane. We're under 60 days now, and before you know it we'll be in the line for the ME back to Orlando airport. Hopefully they'll announce a bounceback for the same time next year so we can take advantage of that before leaving. Well I've chattered enough on your space Grace, sorry about that.

Chuck

Grace the plans look good !! Remember to use FP whenever possible so you don't waste time in long lines !! I too have some "wing" it days For example I know the kids will want more than 1 day at DHS and me I want EPCOT !!

Chuck keep remembering those DRYER SHEETS!!

Hi Grace !! I would like to hear more about the bounceback too!!! Tomorrow I am checking again for those ponchos . I am getting some feed back on AK CS places and think if it's a/c I want it's Pizzafari and if it's cool enough FTB although Picnic in the Park is mighty tempting !! I will remember Dryer Sheets For those of you going Huh !!! Checkout my PTR!!!!

 

[labsrus1]

Hi Grace! Just spent the weekend in Indy with my BFF and had a great time. Looks to me like you had a wonderful time camping too!! Isn't it great when you strike up a conversation with a total stranger, only to find out that they love Disney just as much as you do???
I would love to see a pic of your autograph books! I know you've put a lot of hard work into them. It sure is rewarding to see the final product complete.
Have a great day tomorrow. Back to work for me.

Hey Chuck! I'm in NE Ohio too. Where to you hail from?? Toledo for me.

I'm from just east of Cleveland in a town called Wickliffe. we are about 25min from Cleveland, so close that my wife works at the cleveland clinic. I fell off a ladder at work last year and haven't been back since. We're really looking foward to vacation this year, we planned last year and my wife got diangnosed with breast cancer so we had to cancel our trip. She's all better and we are needing this time to be by ourselves for a while. But by the end of our trip we will be starting to get on each others nerves so it will be nice to get home before we do harm to each other.

Grace & Rosie,

The last time we went to Disney they had the bounceback that was basically the same deal that you got before you left. It may have been a little cheaper, but it was just the free dining as long as you booked a room before you left. As long as the person who was there booked the room and went back, so you couldn't book a room and give the reservation away to somebody else. I also think one person can book 2 rooms, yoiu must also put a $200.00 deposit on it. If its going to happen you will hear about it before we go, and there will be a piece of paper in you room on how to book it. Way to go Rosie already remembering those dryer sheets. at least you won't have too do this:laundy,

Chuck

 

[englishrose47]

I didn't realise you got the bounceback BEFORE you went I thought it happened while you were there !!! So do they send you something in the mail or what!!?????

I going to spend tommorrow looking for my "Pal Mickey" he missing
and I need to find he for our trip

 

[labsrus1]

I didn't realise you got the bounceback BEFORE you went I thought it happened while you were there !!! So do they send you something in the mail or what!!?????

Hi Rosie,
You should get something in your room while your at the resort. The last time we booked the BB (bounceback), we book for a resort different than the one we were staying.

Grace our LeCellier res, is on the Tuesday at 6:00. I still have one for the Monday the 21th that we are not going to use. I've switched around 4 dinners and that one got the ax. Our last night we always do the Liberty Tree its a habit we've gotten into.

Good morning

I like to the idea of always doing something on each trip the same, starting a tradation. We started our trip in 2006 with breakfast at Chef Mickey 'sand will do that this time too. I never thought iI would get to go again, so we are looking for a couple of things on this trip that we will do on all other trips, looking for a place that a little different to get a pictures taken every time, to see would big the grandson is getting and for any addition grandchildren that may inculde.
I wanted to eat at Liberty Tree inn but could not fit it in.
Our trip our getting SOOOO close
Talk soon
Grace

 

[Grace and Mickey]

Good morning friends

My Pal Mickey is Missing
So the goal for today is to find my friend.

We live in a small house, and have to move everything around at beinging of each season for vents and stuff, When we pack up our things so i could put out the christmas stuff, I thought I put Pal mickey in the box with our vacation stuff, I have a cabinet where i put lots of my mickey things on display, and put them away at holiday time when I put them out after christmas Pal wasn't here but i was not concerned I though he was in my vacation box, yesterday when i was checking the box and going over my list . I noticed he was not there.
So I guess i will tearing the house apart looking for him.

Still working on printing pages for autograph books, and want to pick out my invites today.


Oh Pal Mickey where are you
Come out where ever you are

Grace

 

[Grace and Mickey]

My Pal Mickey has been found
After going thought ALL my boxes of Christmas stuff and still no PAl and the going thu what was the girls room, I didn't know where to began even called Corri to see if I had taken Pal to her house to show Landen, But no luck, I decide to move the couch out so I could get a to a bookcase where have some books stored that I don't need all the time,you can't see the bookcase the couch is infront of it we use the top as on end table if that makes sense.
AND there he was siiting on the shelf with the books, I don't remember puting him there

I'm sOOO glad I found MY PAL MICKEY

I plan to put him in a box to leave for Landen with a note on how he looking forward to see him for him to get on the morning he leave for WDW.
So Now I have to get everthing put back in place.
AS I type this Pal Mickey is sitting with me on my computer table watching and that is where he will stay until the day we leave.
Talk soon
