March it WAS, May it IS!

[racefanof88]

Super happy to see you back on the Disboards! I have missed you both here and on my trip report. I think I like your breakdown of the wedding way more than the whole ordeal that you and I talked about on the phone. You know that I can certainly sympathize.

Have you had any luck getting T-Rex added yet? I know we talked about you calling the restaurant directly.

Oh and on the new car. I saw the pic on Facebook and it looks very cool.

Thank you . The sad thing about the wedding crap? It keeps coming. I got to see the proofs of the pix today and guess what? There is ONE of our family together, 5 or 6 of me and Amanda together, 2 of Amanda and Dale, NONE of Amanda with Dallas and Tyler, and NONE of Amanda with any of her extended family and that is with hundreds and hundreds of pictures. I am SO mad I could spit nails. Now there are tons of pix of Matt's family. We went to Amanda's today to watch the Saint's game and I told Amanda how mad I was. Matt went over to his mom's house and obviously told her how mad I was, so when he came back to the apartment he handed Amanda the contract for the pix and said "Since she(the photog) is a friend of my mom's and likes us so much she took extra pictures". I wanted to ask him of what? His family? Because there sure as heck wasn't any of us. I am so upset about the pictures I could scream.

Anyway, I haven't called T-Rex yet. If I can remember I will do it tomorrow because I really want to eat there.

Thanks on the car. I didn't really want to buy a new car, but Dale will have to have it for his new position at work.

As I said, I can sympathize.....remember just my feet in the wedding video? I finally just let it go and moved on. I started looking at it from the perspective of how happy Lacey and Jesse were during the ceremony and that I had pictures of those moments. That's the only way I could deal with it. I'm not saying that the feelings went away quickly because they didn't but I simply had to let it go. Hopefully, your hurt feelings and madness will go away sooner rather than later.

I was able to get a dinner ADR at T-Rex for three people. When Mama said she wanted to go to Disney with us again, I wasn't able to get a table for 4. I kept the one for three though and we are just going to show up and hope that they can seat us.

I didn't want to buy a new car either but we didn't have much choice. It seems like ya'll didn't either. It is certainly fun having a new car but the new car note sucks.

I'm so excited to have found a PTR for your trip! I'll be checking in as the weeks go by!

Saw Amanda's wedding pics on FB---She looked beautiful, and so did you! But, sorry about all the other bad luck with your knee and shoulder. Hopefully, you're on the mend for this March trip!

Yeah, they do . I am gonna dig a hole to hid in until March.......

You are right about the pictures and wedding. I am glad Amanda is happy and that the wedding itself went well. Several of my family members have asked me if it was the photographers first wedding, and why there were no extended family member pictures taken. I just shake my head .

I didn't get a chance to call T-Rex today, but I will try to remember to call them tomorrow.

I hate car notes . We now have two notes and that really stinks.

Hey Michelle I'm glad you joined us!!! I haven't been very good at posting on my PTRs or TRs as of late, but I am going to try and be good and post on this one.

Thank you about Amanda. I did pretty good at not crying until I saw Dale walking her down the aisle and he had tears in his eyes. Also thanks about my knee and shoulder; I am waiting to find out when I start PT .

Love the new car---very sporty! Also the ADRs look good. Kona Cafe has become one of our favorite places to eat--The steak is delish!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Lovin' the new car! We looked at the Kias when we went car shopping and I couldn't believe how reasonable they were pricewise.

I like the looks of your ADRs. Sounds like all the planning is falling into place nicely.

We like the price of the Kias and their safety ratings are at the top of the lists too. Kia Autosport will do what ever they have to do to make a good deal!! I like Mazda too, we have had a Mazda van and the Mazda 3 that we got for Amanda.

I have been trying hard to get in at T-Rex with no luck so far .

 

[racefanof88]

OK I am seriously going crazy having to be in this house all the time. I need to find somewhere that we can get away for the weekend. Maybe Birmingham or New Orleans, not sure if I can talk Dale into it, so if not, I may head out alone..........lol. We haven't gone anywhere since we went to Disney in May and I can feel it.

I am still waiting to hear when I start PT, not really looking forward to it because I know, after having worked orthopedics, that it is painful to say the least .

New Orleans might be fun for this weekend....... RTR!

Roll Tide !!!

OK, first things first!!!

Now back to our regularly scheduled PTR . So our dates have changed AGAIN!! Since I have been off work for two months it will be almost impossible for us to make our trip in March. I accrue vacation time per hours worked. I work 72 hours in a pay period and usually build up 7.5 vacation hours for the 72 worked, and since I have been off on leave for two months, I haven't built any time. I hated having to cancel our trip for March because I have been looking so forward to getting back to Disney.

Our new dates are May 25-June 1 and we will be staying at ASSp. Dale enjoyed staying there in September '10 and liked it better than Pop. We were able to get in on the Spring discount deal. The ADRs I have made so far are as follows-----

T-Rex
Saturday May 26 @ 11:30

Kona
Sunday May 27 @ 2:35

Tony's
Monday May 28 @ 1:00

T-Rex
Wednesday May 30 @ 4:00

I made Niko's reservation at Best Friends Pet Care, and I swear it costs as much for him to stay there as I have payed to stay at some hotels...........

I got my 2012 PassPorter delivered today. This is the first time I have ever splurged and bought one. I usually check it out at the library, but I wanted one to keep and see if it really helps out with the planning! I am starting to get really excited about this trip since our last trip was 8 months ago .

 

[mickeystoontown]

Woo Hoo! I'm so excited that our trips are going to overlap! I was telling John just about an hour ago, that I needed to look at your ADRs and see if any of our's would work with your's. We need to make plans to at least eat lunch together if we can't work in dinner.

 

[MHTeacher]

I'm so excited that our trips will overlap! I haven't officially booked yet--not sure what I'm waiting on --but our dates are definitely set-May 27-June 2!!

Those are the exact dates that we will be in Walt Disney World now that we've added a cruise to the beginning of our vacation. We've got to set up some sort of Dis meet!

Well-------------I can't be excited anymore . I have to cancel this trip too . One of my co-workers had already requested the same dates off, so it is a no go. We can't have two nurses out at the same time, and Dale has gotten a promotion at work and he can't take that time off either. While everybody else at his job will get Memorial Day off, Dale will have to work. I am going to look at the next week. I was thinking about going around Christmas, but I just can't wait that long. I am on hold with Disney right now waiting to cancel the already booked trip, I have been on hold for 36 minutes .

Oh no, Dana!

Dale's promotion sounds good though--hard to be too upset about that! Hopefully you'll find a time that will work!
