[Momof2Disneyboys]

Okay is anyone up this morning??? Stop lurking and come out and chat!!


Hey can you see the bottom of my ticker today??? I don't understand how I can see it but no one else can. . . . I think Huggie was having the same problem. . .

Is there a way to make the ticker smaller?

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hey JO! Glad someone's up!

We got to the CCF at about 5:40 and we waited about 3 minutes and were seated!! When we left about an hour later there were quite a few people waiting.

I am going to have to find a better way to the RP Mall! There is just so many lights and so much traffic the way we go. . . I am going to have to get out a map today!!

Great idea about the rain ponchos for SplashMtn!!

Mornin' JM!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words yesterday. I am honored to carry your prayers of healing, and I accept them.

Where will you be flying from? Shelly (momof2disneyboys) and I are just north of Pittsburgh. Last year for our May trip I got airfare on South West for $39 each way. Can you wait to book and fly SW? The transportation forum might be of some help in watching for good airfaire.

How many times have you been to WDW?

So many questions...
I'm just excited to have a new friend to talk to.

Have you read through all of our pages of chatting? I'll try to go back and find our pictures of us that we posted last year, so You'll know who you're talking to, and also who to be on the lookout for in May.

Jo

Good Morning!

I have to admit that I haven't mde it through all 750 pages of chat, but I did read a lot. Enough to know that you all are super friendly and helpful I live in Chicago and Southwest is actually my preferred airline, it is just the waiting that is killing me! I will be able to relax once I have my transportation squared away.

This is will be my first time at WDW and I am sooooo excited. The last year and a half has been really tough on me and my little guy. This trip is like a celebration of our triumph over the adversity that we have faced.

Anyhoo, I am very happy to have found you all, as soon as I am able, I will post a pic of me and the little prince.

Have a good day everyone!

Hi JM!

Awww, a first timer to WDW! I wish I could be there when you take your first step onto Main Street USA and see the castle for the first time... *sigh*. It is such a beautiful sight.

If you need any more help, please ask. WDW is a huge place, and the more prepared you are, the better your vacation will be. Later, once extra magic hours are up for May, we will start talking about which park/what day everyone is visiting and we can help you decide where to go to avoid the most crowds. There is a method to the madness...

Can't wait to see a pic of the little Prince...

Morning All...

DMM: Keep us posted today...isn't this the day you take Roman in for his hearing???

MELLA so good to see you again...Hope it's a MAYers Trip...think middle of May

Sulley. That's me whenever I'm asked to go on a ride...the only one I love is test track...and if you see a lady standing in front of Splash or BTMRR laden down with sunglasses, backpacks, cameras and the likes...waving like mad at the ride...yep! that's me....

Shelly...we have two more soccer games and the season will be over... I just love to watch the little ones...so cute...they try so hard to be good at the game...

Our weather has been beautiful....days in the 70/80...don't have to run the air or heat....

Mornin JC!

I have so much to do and no desire to do any of them.

Mary Cat has a party she is going to at church on Wednesday night, and it's a costume party. She is going as a Black eyed pea.

Glad your weather is beautiful. I'm freezing here. Last night, I couldn't get warm. Mark kept heating up a wet kitchen towel in the microwave and wrapping my hands and wrists in them because they were so achy. I felt kind of like I was flying in first class when they come by with the moist towels.

Two more soccer games, huh? I agree, those kids are so cute. They play heart and soul. Drew just got his first touchdown on Saturday in his football game. It was freezing and I had JUST walked to the car (luckily I could see the field and watched the whole thing happen) to turn on the heat. He came off grinning and happy and I was sad that I wasn't on the sidelines. But I called my Mom, who was at a restaurant with a big group of family members and they all started yelling "Drew got a touchdown!!"

It's so cute.

JO

 

[JoBird]

Oh, and I'm sure you'll catch up to me in posts. Last time, you passed me by and all I felt was a "swoosh" as you sailed by.

How many more days until you can make ADR's?

Jo

 

[JoBird]

Okay, nevermind. I see. 14 days. Yay!!!!

Jo

 

[Disneyanajc]

So did you all get your pumpkins carved...happy faces...scary...are you ready for Halloween...do you decorate???

Lights are up...webbing and spiders are everywhere...ghosts are lurking and the Halloween air blow-ups (one is the big black cat and pumpkin 7' and Frank, Mummy and the Witch are all going for a ride...) are out...My DDIL and I spent 2 hours last night carving 4 pumpkins. ..candy is bought...we are ready....

JO try ThermalCare HeatWraps...it's like taking a heathing pad with you...and you can wrap them just about anywhere...

Way to go Drew.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Morning JC! I'm a little sad that soccer is over too. I really enjoy watching the games. But the weather is getting too cold for it here anyway. Do you have spring soccer there? I'm looking forward to it already, when it starts it means we will be so close to going to WDW!!!


Congratulations on Drew's touchdown JO!! That's great! I bet he was just thrilled!! You need to post a family picture on here so everyone can see your little cuties!

Can't wait to see you & your little guy JM! So happy you are getting to take your first Disney trip. I just went for the first time on 2005, then again in 2007! I'm hooked!! We probably won't ever vacation anywhere else!!

We carved our pumpkins last Thursday night. We have some decorations outside and inside! DS8 had his party at school on Friday. Trick or Treat here was Saturday 4-6. We went in the rain, lots of fun! Our town has a Halloween parade on Tuesday night. And DS6 has his school party on Wednesday!

Shelly if we carve pumpkins too early they will rot here...the heat gets them...and though a rotting pumpkin is scary...it smells I wish we had a Halloween Parade...you lucky girl...as I type this my DH is doing my Christmas (Hallmark) ornament inventory

...and not to be left out...

I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS...

Quiet day MAYers. . . . .

 

[JoBird]

I'm here, Shelly.

Just trying to decide for sure the dates of when we want to go next year.

I am getting a bit worried about the crowds, with it being the week before Thanksgiving. I just don't know how many people go down that far in advance for Turkey day. Thanksgiving is actually later next year, being on the 27th.

I'm trying to avoid Jersey week (6,7,and 8th), Super soap weekend(probably the same weekend), Veterans Day (the 11th) and Thanksgiving (the 27th, but the whole week, really) crowds.

I am 'bout outta luck.

We could go to an earlier UF football game, on October 25th, but it's Homecoming, and I don't know about that with the kids.

Oh my. I've confused myself, which, you know isn't hard for me to do.

JC! I actually saw these wrist wraps, but i didn't buy them. I have used those for back pain in the past. Thanks for reminding me. I have to get some.

Jo

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hmm. . . Sounds like quite the dilema you have here JO!!
I know, it's hard deciding because you want to make everything perfect for your family! Oh how I know!



I was just online looking at a map and still trying to figure out how to get to RP Mall without all the Cranberry/Wexford traffic! I just don't think it's possible!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I just got an email from Disney today with an offer for special rates for Jan. 1-17 and Jan.21-Feb.13 with free park hopper and water park add-ons. Looks like a great deal at $385 for adults and $192 for kids for 5 nights/6 days.

This makes me think that they won't be offering the free add-ons in MAY now.

We are ready here. Neil just carved a Cinderella pumpkin and a Castle pumpkin. So cute. I just got done making pumpkin and bat cookies for Isabelle's school party tomorrow. I spent a couple hours making goody bags for Isabelle and Meghans classmates and also her friends. I am tired.


Gotta run.
