Guess what??????/


1,000!!!!!


:woohoo: :woohoo:

Congrats on 1,000:banana: :banana: :banana:

MAYers, i'm going to ask for your paryers and pixie dust, even though we don't know each other too well. My father is going in for heart surgery on wednesday. He will be off work from today all the way until we leave for vacation in hopes the if all goes well with the surgery he will be well enough to go with us. PLEASE pray for him and send good thoughts his way if you do that sort of thing on wednesday morning while you all are here or doing whatever you do that day. :hug: :hug: every little bit helps! thanks so much Ladies and Gents!! :hug:


My prayers are with your dad. I hope all goes well.

Fathers with their little girls are amazing. I am an only child so all of my daddy's hopes and dreams rested firmly on me.

When we found out that he had cancer, it had already spread and we knew he was going to die. It was also the exact time that we found out that we were moving to NY.

I remember sitting at the airport getting ready to board the plane,holding Daddy's hand, not knowing if I'd ever see him alive again. And as fragile as he was, sitting there in the wheelchair, he was trying to be brave and strong for me, so that I would be okay to leave. And he said "It's okay, Bird. You will be fine." (My username is what he called me from the time I was tiny.)

A Father's strength sometimes surpasses all bounds of reason.


Here's praying for your Father's strength and recovery so that you can have a wonderful vacation together in May.:hug:

Jo

That made me cry. I lost my dad to cancer as well. I was 15 when he passed.

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
32 days!!!! I am so excited!
Let's see, a month from now it will be Mother's Day. We won't be at Disney quite yet, but it will be a good day nonetheless :) I'm actually not sure what we will do. I don't want to go out to eat since we will be in Disney later that week and I don't want to get burned out on restaurants. I know I will get to sleep in and that, really, is all I want lol.

What is everyone up to this weekend?
Tonight I have to work, I only work 1 night a week.
Tomorrow we are going to our friends daughters b-day bbq
Sunday is our neighborhoods childrens fair

How about everyone else?

We have a bday party tomorrow and then Sunday we are going to see Meet the Robinsons.

okay here is the situation i am in right now

dh called back the hr director for the firm that wants him to possibly work there- but she is in a meeting right now, so we still dont know anything.

then i get a call from our real estate agent, who said they have someone who really wants to see our house tomorrow. as many of your know we had recently taken it off the market and were planning plan b , and building on...ahhh!!!! i am ready to pull out all my hair!
so now after taking a cleaning break this weeek, i have to try and get it back up to tip top form in order to show it tomorrow, and on top of that we dont know what's going on with dh's job at the moment.


ahh!

is it may yet!
i need a vacation.

WOW I bet the house will sell tomorrow. Good Luck

Question...Who are the MAYers that are driving to WDW or renting a car while at WDW??? :car:
JC

I am driving and renting a car.

Just asking about our MAYer drivers...because I have 4 AAA parking passes..and before I shred them I thought one of our Mayers could use one of them....
JC

Thanks for the offer, we have some as well. But I would suggest putting them on Ebay. They go for at least 40 bucks a piece. Could buy you some souvenirs.

DMM - Would you add our parks to the park list?

Anyone know of a good place at DTD to get a CS meal?

We will be going to Wolfgangs on 5/13. We loved it last time. They have all the usual kids stuff. The pizza was yummy.

My oldest's birthday cake.

I love that cake. So cute

Talk about May Power!

You guys ROCK!!!!:rotfl:

Not only did he just get the job, he was offered more $ than he asked for! Thank you all for the crossed, fingers, toes, eyes and great well wishes! They are letting him start the day we return from WDW!!! So a nice calm vacation is in store for my DH.


and yes- I was cleaning the house! AGAIN!!
maybe this is our weekend for good things to happen, so if I could borrow those well wishes tomorrow at about 2:30 eastern standard time I would really appreciate it. maybe we can get this house sold.


thanks everyone!

I told you how strong that may power is- not to mention i think i have a pretty amazing DH.

YEAH!!!!:banana: That is awesome. Congrats

Yeppers, JC!

The last time he rented one was for our wedding. :rotfl:

We thought about buying it, but...????? I don't know. It's a Ralph Lauren.

So far this night out is costing us about $375-$400!:scared1:

We pay our babysitters $10 and hour. What's the going rate where everyone is for three kids?

Jo

I think 11 to 12 is fine for three kids. I pay my mommy's helper 8 for 2 kids and I never leave the house.
 
Ok I think I have caught up. I am so tired. I took the kids to a different mall and tried on about 40 dresses and nothing. :confused3

My bil flew in from GA to visit so he came by and hung out with the kids. He is coming back on Monday. My girls LOVE their Uncle. We went to dinner too.

I am so tired dd 2 was up last night from 1am to 3:45. I am need some sleep.

Talk to you all in the morning.
 

I think there is an epidemic with the migraines..several of my employees have called in with them the last couple of days. :headache:

Hope all gets to feeling better! :flower3:

:confused: About the contest...

The rules (I think) state that you have to have a postcard, but what if you have a sign on the door? Does that count? DMM?
:confused3
 
My SIL and BIL are taking their kids to Disney in Oct. They are confused and overwhelmed by the eating choices. The kids are DS 6 and DS 4
And they have the dinning plan.
Any ideas? What are some of your kid's favs?
 
I too am going in May

May 10th 5:00 Marrakesh
May 11th 6:00 Wolfgang Puck
May 12th 5:00 Chefs de France
May 13th 12 noon Whispering Canyon
May 14th 5:50 Brown Derby


We don't have the dinning plan but I have a ddc with 20% discount, but I am going back in Sept for the free ddp
 
Holy Cow...I come home from work, and come home to...13 pages??? :rotfl2:

We get in at the same time!!! :woohoo:

Yep! Except, I think we are coming in from a different direction...but maybe we'll be on the same ME bus? Is there a different bus for each resort, or how does that work? We are staying at the Pop...

MAYers, i'm going to ask for your paryers and pixie dust, even though we don't know each other too well. My father is going in for heart surgery on wednesday. He will be off work from today all the way until we leave for vacation in hopes the if all goes well with the surgery he will be well enough to go with us.

Absolutely! Prayers and good thoughts, and hoping that it goes beautifully and smoothly and he is able to go with you to WDW. :goodvibes

for me it's a great day!
DH just got a call from the company he had an interview with this week.
he is calling them now!

Good luck to your DH!

then i get a call from our real estate agent, who said they have someone who really wants to see our house tomorrow. as many of your know we had recently taken it off the market and were planning plan b , and building on...ahhh!!!! i am ready to pull out all my hair!

Good luck on your house, too!

You are flying on American Airlines from DFW to Orlando, aren't you? :) Reason I ask is that in 33 days, I'll be experiencing the same bleary-eyed arrival on an AA flight coming out of Dallas.

Yep, we sure are :) Leaving here at about midnight, and getting in to Dallas at 5:30 am, not even an hour layover before our next flight to Orlando, so it better be on time!

By this time of day (3:45pm) next month I will be somewhere at DTD!!
The boys will have made their "Build your own Lightsabers" and they will be happy!! :goodvibes
Anyone know of a good place at DTD to get a CS meal?

I've heard it's great! We are eating there on our DTD day for lunch.

My oldest's birthday cake.

Is that "Mary Catherine"? I'm Mary Katherine :laughing: That's why I'm "Katiebell" ;)

Shelly: Got the results today from my GI dr. I have esophagitis (sp?), which is due to the reflux. This is GOOD news, because there is no evidence of the "big C". Praise God!! I was a nervous wreck!! I need to avoid all coffee, tea, iced tea, caffienated beverages, chocolate, etc. and take Prevacid for the next 6 months.

YAY for those results!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: And I accidentally erased your quote, but what was the $25 gift card? For Disney, or was it a PH voucher?

I vote for the Earl of Sandwich...fresh..tasty..plentiful...and you can eat inside or out...we eat outside and people watch...

Oh yes, have heard great things about this one too...actually might get my lunch at WPE, DH's at EOS, then we can try them both! :laughing:

Not only did he just get the job, he was offered more $ than he asked for! Thank you all for the crossed, fingers, toes, eyes and great well wishes! They are letting him start the day we return from WDW!!! So a nice calm vacation is in store for my DH.

WOW...our good luck wishes worked fast! Whoo hoo!

Are any of the MAYers into pin trading? I was thinking of giving our GS some of the pins we have collected over the years and let him trade at WDW...do they still do this?

We just collect, don't usually trade (DH has all Experiment 626) but a LOT of people are into trading. How old is your GS? Some CM's, at least at DL, will ONLY trade with kids -- and they usually give them really cool pins :)

My SIL and BIL are taking their kids to Disney in Oct. They are confused and overwhelmed by the eating choices. The kids are DS 6 and DS 4
And they have the dinning plan.
Any ideas? What are some of your kid's favs?

If you are interested, PM me with your email address...I've compiled lists of the kids' choices at most of the CS, TS, and 2 TS restaurants -- the ones that have the most variety for kids, or the most unique menu items. I've posted them on several threads on the dining board, and quite a few people requested them. Kind of condenses the info, makes it easier to compare. :thumbsup2

Alright Mayer's...see you tomorrow!

But one month from today, we will have had breakfast at Akershus, explored Epcot a bit, taken the boat to MGM, early dinner at Mama Melrose's for the Fantasmic Package, then Fantasmic, milkshakes at Sci Fi, and playing at MGM until late for EMH!
 
Mornin Mayers!

Couldn't sleep... and it's only 6:30.

UGH.

I know no one will be up for at least four more hours, so I'm going to work on my plans.:flower3:

DO you have any boutiques you could go to for a dress?

That is so frustrating when you can't get what you want.:headache:

Here's some pixie dust for you...pixiedust:

Katiebell~

Yes, she's a Mary Catherine.:goodvibes

The whole time I was pregnant with her, I called her Kate. Just Kate. Couldn't think of anything else I wanted to call her. When it was closer to delivery, I said well, she can't just be "Kate" so I called her Mary Catherine.

And I haven't called her Kate since. But I love that name.

I love the name Kate too. Dh and I said that if we have a girl she will most likely be named Kate.

We are stayng offsite. I KNOW I KNOW. But my mom is giving us her timeshare for a week for free. So we cant pass it down. But when we go to rent the car I see all the busses. I will look at the pop buses for u
