:eek: ... oh, well i guess we'll have to entertain ourselves with disney stuff

i bought the "hidden mickeys" book like - forever ago and now i don't know if i'm gonna use it or not... i kinda feel like it's for people who have been there a zillion times and want to refresh the things they have seen a million times before... bob's never been there and i haven't been there since '99 :sad2: so idk if we;ll really use it... i'll bring it for the plane though - that and my passporter... :goodvibes
 
I went tanning and I think it is working. I look like I have some sort of color. All this talk about shopping is making me want to go.

So I am off,

I have to run to Annie Sez I need a dress for a fundraiser event for Dh's job on May 2nd. My mom said they have dressy dresses there. If not I will go to Lord & Taylor on Thursday.


So this is what I bring to Disney. I have 7 dresses. I like to wear a dress at dinner. 4 pairs of capris( but probably wont wear them. I get too hot. About 15 shirts and 8 pairs of shorts. 3 bathing suits.

I know I pack too much. but I am bringing the space savers.

Ok I am off Be back later

Hey New Crew:cool1:

don't burn cause your wedding is fast coming... you don't want to be burnt for your wedding.....
 
I think we will Love it Shelly.... I keep going over all the pictures and stuff and i like it... by the way which area are you going to request. I think i'm going to request Cabana's 9A building...

I hope we love it!! It looks romantic, well as romantic as a 10 year anniversary trip with 2 kids can be!! :laughing: The pool looks like fun! I think I requested Cabana 9B or 8B. . . I'll have to dig out a map and look. I don't really expect to get my request this time with such a late arrival. We got all our requests before at CBR and POFQ, but we arrived by noon.

You guys will never guess!

It was magical!

I started tanning at the end of March. I went once a week for the last 4 weeks. Now I am going to go 2 times this week, next week, and the week after. Then it will be time to go to Florida!! :yay: I can't go several days in a week, I will burn bad! :eek:
 

Oh shelly if i could i would check in for you so you can get a room you want. we land in MCO by 10:10 am then i'm hoping to be at CSR by 11:30.. hopefully we get something we want....
 
i generally only tan really well after i fry myself really good - which i should have tried to do months ago and then just maintained it ... but i really get a good tan after that - it sounds like torture, but if i do it now i should be ok for the wedding - it only lasts a few days ... i don't wanna look like this for the wedding either :mad:

i wanna look like this princess: haha
 
you will look like that.... the princess you are.....tanned and all....
 
thanks mari :flower3:

i don't remember if i told you guys that i got my dress back and it is perfect :lovestruc ... but - i cannot gain an ounce :rotfl:
 
it's ok from the brides i know they stress out and lose a little weight.... you'll be fine... what r u guys giving away as favors...
 
we are doing a candy buffet that people can fill up these cute little celophane bags with candy...

we got -

sweedish fish - gummy bears - peach rings - mike n ikes - reeses cups - and an asst. of mini hersheys like krackel and mr goodbar & stuff... then asst. sugar free stuff for my pappy and his step mom...

i'm excited for the leftovers - to take candy bags on our trip :goodvibes
 
RF - OH that is a great idea... me and my sister's are trying to figure out my mom's 50th bday party. So i'm trying to get as many ideas as we can. It's gonna be at a reception hall and everything but there are still things we need to do.

Shelly - I agree...... you can all give us our bags when we "bump" into each other...
 
Okay, I'm going outside to do more yard work and play with the kids. I think I'll cook supper on the grill tonight!

Have a great night MAYers! :goodvibes Talk to you tomorrow!
 
have a great night Shelly.... enjoy the beautiful weather outside.... talk to you tommorow when we are 1 day closer to WDW....
 
We went to DHS studios this morning.

You know how love to be there at park opening.

Well, I have been a little disstressed the last few days because we have been on the 8:10 bus at Pop! rather than the 8:00 bus for park opening.

Well this morning, we were at the bus stop at 7:55 and were on the 8 a.m. bus. It was wonderful.

So we arrive at the park and get a spot at an empty turnstile. We are extremely happy. :thumbsup2

Just then a CM wanders up and we just happened to meet her last year when we were at WDW. We think her name was Ana. She is from Columbia. We notice her because most Disney CM name tags will say something like:

Joe
London, England

but hers says:

Ana
Columbia

So we chat with Ana awhile.

After all, we have about 45 minutes until they let us in the park.

Ana passes out some maps and time guides. We each get our own today as I don't like to share mine. Somehow, mine will get lost or my time guide gets lost and it just makes for an unhappy mama. And if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. :upsidedow

Well, Ana comes back with another CM who is in a guest relations uniform.

We are all chatting with each other except for my dd who is hanging on the gate and maybe trying to talk to the CMs or maybe just talking to herself. None of us are sure and she can't remember. :rolleyes:

So the guest relations CM says to my dd, "Are you talking to me?"

DD gives it one of these: :confused3

We then apoligize and my dh notices that the guest relations person is from Casablanca, Morocco. My ds just did a HUGE report on Morocco, due April 11, which had completely stressed me out because he had all school year to do it and then only mentioned it during spring break which was the last week in March. So my DH thinks, "Hey, this is a great opportunity for our son to use something he has learned, and the more knowledgable you are, the more you can relate to people thoughout the world." Ya da Ya da.

Plus, we are just passing time while in line.

So DH tells DS, "Look, she is from Morocco."

And DS says, "Hey, I just did a report on your country."

And she says, "Well, what did you learn about Morocco?"

And DS gives it one of these: :confused3

I was proud beyond words.:sad2:

So then she says,"Do you know where Morocco is located?"

And he said, "South of Spain, in North Africa to the west. Down to the Southeast, there is an area considered the Western Sahara that is controlled by Morocco."

"The people of Morocco are Berbers that live in the high Atlas Mountains and North African Muslim Arabs."

She then asked, "What are the languages of Morocco?"

He paused and said, "French."

And she said, "Yes and what else."

And he said, "Arabian?"

And she said, "Close enough. Arabic."

So then, she said to my DH. "Do you have your passes?"

And he said, "Yes."

And she said, "Come on into the park."

And then the magic began!!!

:goodvibes
 
night shelly!!! a cookout sounds like a great idea... :idea:

yeah - the candy buffet was SUPER simple mari - that's really why i did it... it wasn't that expensive either - after the candy (from sams club) and the big glass vases (pat catans) and the bags and little silver scoops (michaels) i think it all came under $250.00 - for almost 175 ppl...

also i saw a link on the knot.com for a popcorn buffet... looked super cute - same concept except you rent one of those old school machines and buy lots of diff flavors of popcorn and then buy the popcorn boxes... it was really cute - but i'm more of a candy girl myself... :banana:
 
NC - YAY.... they let you in early..... Great start to a day...

RF - i know we are trying to cut down costs since the reception hall is about $100 a person and we have like 150 - 175 people that are coming...
