Morning all......

 

[mari360]

I have the funniest story to tell.... i think the world knows that i'm going to WDW... well last night i must have seen about 5 dis commercials before i went to bed. Then this morning i heard commercials on the radio then about 6 cars had the little mickey head antena's (SP) and anohter 3 had WDW stickers.... my drive to work is only about 15 minutes.... and the excitement grows....

 

[mari360]

10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mornin Mari! Cute story. I think we are all in tune to the WDW vibe.

Mark made me watch two of the shows from the travel channel the other night. MARK!!!!! He did it!!! I almost passed out.


Mornin Florida Mom!

 

[mari360]

I think it was all there before but just the fact that i'm more Dis intune i noticed it... I can't believe Mark was the one that made to suggestion to watch the movies.... me and my DH will watch them this weekend. I recorded on them on my DVR..... i'm getting more excited.... YAY..

 

[JoBird]

LOL-


Ours were recorded as well and when we were finished watching them, he wouldn't erase them.

He admitted that he really does love it there the other day. I am still reeling from the news.

Hahahahaha.


Have you gotten your stimulus check yet????? I keep looking for it in our bank account. Sure would be nice to use in WDW.

J~

Need some help deciding....

Should I buy DVD players for the car for the trip down? We bought some for our trip in Nov but they broke after we got back and I took them back. At the time we needed the $$$ (Actually I blew it on after Christmas stuff), hey it was a need...

All the review that I found is that they usually break within a few months. Don't know if I want to chance it and get new ones or just suck it up and get plenty of stuff for them to do in the car. We have about a 7 hr ride. I don't know what to do?

Thanks for any help you can provide....

 

[mari360]

Floridamom - do the kids have video game systems. the little portabel ones like PSP, DS... you could buy them each a game for that and they can play for a while... how old r ur kids...

 

[mari360]

Hi Jo - i'm supposed to get mine on May 9th but if it does come before it will be next monday... i already have set aside 1500 for spending money i'm hoping that is good enough.... but i'll keep the stimulus money just in case i find something that i MUST have....

 

[JoBird]

Ohhhhh, I'd buy them. 7 hours is a long trip. Why not??/ The price has come way way down since a few years ago.

I have only had to buy two so far. The first one was an Eddie Baur and it broke within a year of purchase; we only used it on trips to SC from NY, so not very often.

I bought the second one at Target and it's just an off brand one- so far it's been working for 3 years- only using it on long trips. They also have the sound blocking earphones so I can still listen to my XM radio (news stations, lOL) and they don't yell that they can't hear.


On a side note- when our first one blew up, we were on a trip. Rather than stop, DH pulled out his laptop and they watched movies on that!

If you have one with the capability, maybe you could do that? I think DH had an inverter or something he used. I don't know- I'm not good with that stuff. DH always teases me b/c all I want to know electonically is where the on/off switch is and I want it to work when I push it.

Our converations go like this :
Mark:--"Hon, I'm thinking of buying a 52 inch plasma tv with blah blah blah and it costs blah blah blah and the screen would look like blah blah blah, so we could watch blah blah blah after the blah blah blah game comes on, what do you think, should I get it?

Me: "does it have an on/off switch I could push?"

 

[JoBird]

Good point Mari!

Leapsters, anything like that? Gameboys??

i take everything when we drive to SC from up here.



I'm hoping to get mine soon, MARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wnat money. Money, money, money. I want a new camera. Just a little one that once again, I can point and shoot and it would take the pic for me. i'm not picky.



My blondeness coming flowing out.

i bought one (portable DVD player) for my DD last year for our trip to guatemala and i used it for our trip wdw... it was great now it doesn't give out any sound so i actually bought her the same one from sony for about 100 cheaper.... i love it.... but she also has a DS (that she can't play) but it keeps her busy...

 

[Floridamomof2]

No they don't have game systems... my DD is 6 and my Ds will be 3 in May (after we get back from Disney ) I have tried several times to get them for them but they don't seem too intersted. But that is an idea... maybe like the leapster or something I would spend about the same amount of $$$. I might try again. They love playing games on the computer (playhouse disney, webkinz, nickjr) so they have the skill. ummm..... thanks for the idea. We also have the fisherprice Fp3 player and portable cassette players. So I will definatly bring those. DD will also have her school work to work on on the way down and back. So she will/is easy. It is just entertaining my 2 almost 3 yr old.

We have not gotten our stimulus yet we are also originally scheduled for the 9th. Would be nice to have it for Disney.... too.... just a little extra.... I really need to pay some bills off....

 

[mari360]

i bet u want money... don't we all.... if i get mine before the trip i think i'll buy some more clothes.... i mean i have enough now... but i can get more.... or i can buy something really nice in WDW for myself....

Well i read in the news that we should have them the monday before we were suppose to get it...so if it was the 9th you should get it on the 5th....

 

[JoBird]

Mari- you are funny. More clothes!!!!!!

FloridaMom- I think your daughters would love the Leapster!!!!!!!! My DD got one (she's 6 now) this past Christmas and she loves hers. Make sure you buy tons of batteries. And it's educational too.

I've go to go play with Princess belle. She is demanding my attention.

TTYL-

[Floridamomof2]

Good idea about the laptop... we don't have a laptop but we do have a portable DVD player. It is just one that you just sit on the table, we don't have the strap to mount it to the seat or a capability to put it between their seats. But maybe, get the leapsters and bring that as back up. I am sure I could rig something up. ummm... might have to bring that up to DH.

Thanks for the ideas... keep them comming...
