Mentally Preparing: A Focker, A Croc & Waldo hit POFQ! Trip Report Link is UP!

[puggymom]

First of all what a gorgeous family you all are!

LOVE THE HAIR, I say keep it the way it is, it is beautiful.

As for being related to THEM. I too am related to THEM, just remember the more THEM that go to those EMH days, make our days at non-EMH all that much better. And no I really don't feel bad if they are family.

How are Donald and family doing, any more injuries to report?

Also, I am concerned that there are no Waldo updates, is he storing up for the big trip

 

[Disneyolic]

If you do want to cut it, I would say only about 5 inches or so just to give you a bit more bounce. Keep it long though or you'll be sorrrrrrrrry.....

ACK! Am I one of them? I used the Disney website also to plan our days and nights. Since we did not get park hoppers this time we had to utilize our days the right way. Also, we are not commando and every day worked for us except for MGM. I did not consider me one of "them" as being at Disney a bunch of times before I knew what we wanted to do and where to go. And I did have sort of a schedule to go by.... Some things worked some things didn't but we never were too worried about it.

Uh-oh...do you still want to go to Disneyland with me & my family someday when we make our California trip???

OMG I just realized that I may be one of them!!! of course we go in off months so there is still no lines but I'm One Of Them although this trip we are only in EMH Parks 2 times out of 10 days...so I guess we're OK!!!

 

[lookingforward]

Oh my gosh! Where have I been?? I LOVE your pre-trip reports and humor. What a pleasure to read. You have a beautiful family too! I love how you are such good friends with your mom, I feel the same way about my mother! She is one of my best friends but would NEVER spend 10 days at WDW. You are so lucky that your mom is making those memories with you and your kids. Welcome to Florida in a couple of weeks!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Hey skinny minnie you look wonderful and no turkey drumsticks in sight I think your hair will look beautiful left long or a bit chopped off, how long does it take to do? Would it take less time shorter so more park time?

Last trip we were "them" for the first few days until we realised not to do EMH's and then we became "us"

 

[PrincessV]

I ask my BIL which planning method he used... TGM, UG or another guide book. You know what he said? He told me he used the WDW website and based his itinerary on the EMH schedule. Whatever park had PM EMH's that's were they would go!

NOOO!!!! Did you have a hard time breathing? I'm having a hard time, just reading this!

Well, Andy has the worse memory and couldn't recall the first "deal" we had worked out. So he figured I was renegotiating in his favor, but of course we all know I'd never to that. Well, he took the deal!

Sweet!!

Ok, here's a picture of my new hair: Should I go shorter????

Oh Tracy, this is tough! You've got that perfect combination of hair and face shape that could go most any length and look great. I'll just say this: make sure it's long enough to pull ALL the way back for WDW in August. Trust V.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

The Hair Looks Great!!!! & another Disney Trip in the Works

Thanks Disneydad! I've always got to have another trip on the horizon! Just one of the many things I've learned on the DIS!

First of all, you are gorgeous!
I like shorter hair, so I would say, "Chop, Chop!" But you have to live with it.

Aw, thanks Pjv. I clean up OK. I'm so skerred to chop, chop!! My daughter on the other hand, loves short hair!

Oh no, your SIL is a "them"? Some people just have to learn the hard way.

Even with 6 trips under their belts, they're still "them"!

Love the hair - I say don't cut it but remember, I like long hair to begin with. BTW, lookin' pretty good there hot stuff!

Thanks, Lisa. BTW, where do you have your hair done? In Downey? I used to work at DuShons back in the day.

I love the hair the way it is...
And...technically...she is Andy's sis...so maybe your children have a chance not to catch "THEM" disease...since all the good stuff is passed down through the momma!

Thanks, G-luv! Oh, no my kids are planners, baby! I've passed organizational gene to them, thank GOD!

First of all what a gorgeous family you all are!
LOVE THE HAIR, I say keep it the way it is, it is beautiful.

I snapped that on a good day. I didn't have any crackers stuck in my hair and everyone was wearing matching clothes that were clean!

As for being related to THEM. I too am related to THEM, just remember the more THEM that go to those EMH days, make our days at non-EMH all that much better. And no I really don't feel bad if they are family.

I'm with you there, Mo. Fo' sho!

How are Donald and family doing, any more injuries to report?

Donald and company are on the mend. I requested that they keep all activites to a minimum.

Also, I am concerned that there are no Waldo updates, is he storing up for the big trip

I do have a little Waldo info. I think he's coming over to the LIME side. He went to HD today and brought me another stack of Mickey Heads. He was so proud of himself, I didn't have the heart to tell him I have my share!

If you do want to cut it, I would say only about 5 inches or so just to give you a bit more bounce. Keep it long though or you'll be sorrrrrrrrry.....

I may take it up a few more inches, DM. I know I'll be so sorry if I go to short. You know who's hair I wish I had? Ok don't laugh, but I just love her hair... and her body ain't so bad either!

Uh-oh...do you still want to go to Disneyland with me & my family someday when we make our California trip???

You better believe it, sista!

OMG I just realized that I may be one of them!!! of course we go in off months so there is still no lines but I'm One Of Them although this trip we are only in EMH Parks 2 times out of 10 days...so I guess we're OK!!!

Disneydad, are not a TGMer?? You should seriously check out his website.

Oh my gosh! Where have I been??

I don't know, but I'm glad you're here now!

I LOVE your pre-trip reports and humor. What a pleasure to read. You have a beautiful family too! I love how you are such good friends with your mom, I feel the same way about my mother! She is one of my best friends but would NEVER spend 10 days at WDW. You are so lucky that your mom is making those memories with you and your kids. Welcome to Florida in a couple of weeks!!!

Thanks! I hope you stay and enjoy my next little diddy of a trip!

Hey skinny minnie you look wonderful and no turkey drumsticks in sight

Thanks, Jo. I seriously hate my arms. I work 'em and work 'em and they still blow in the wind!

I think your hair will look beautiful left long or a bit chopped off, how long does it take to do? Would it take less time shorter so more park time?

My hair doesn't take long to do. It dries super fast and then I do a quick run thru it with the flat iron, put in some Silky Dirt and I'm ready to rock.

NOOO!!!! Did you have a hard time breathing? I'm having a hard time, just reading this!

Oh my gosh, V. I did almost start to hyperventilate!

Oh Tracy, this is tough! You've got that perfect combination of hair and face shape that could go most any length and look great. I'll just say this: make sure it's long enough to pull ALL the way back for WDW in August. Trust V.

No way!! I have the HUGEST head, let me tell you! It's a pumpkin and I have to keep the hair longish to hide the size!

[Disneydad99]

Thanks Disneydad!

Disneydad, are not a TGMer?? You should seriously check out his website.

You are so welcome & I love Long Hair!!!

yeah I know but this trip was already planned before I ever heard of TGM....I need to go ck him out whats the website>>>

 

[Castillo Mom]

Even with 6 trips under their belts, they're still "them"!

That's ok, better to have more "them" for our sake, right?

Thanks, Lisa. BTW, where do you have your hair done? In Downey? I used to work at DuShons back in the day.

I know that place, on Florence right? Do they still exist? I haven't driven by there in a while. Oh, and I get my hair done at Carlton in Cerritos Mall. Its convenient and so far I've been happy with the service.

And hey, you'd better get your documents this week or I'm personally gonna go pinch your TA's head off!

 

[boysmom5150]

OMG! We were dining with "them".

dining with the enemy. OMG!!
Ill admit we have "them" in our family too. Sad isnt it???
You TMGers know who "them" are.

Well, he took the deal!

Wooooooohoooooo, you go Tracy!!!

Ok, here's a picture of my new hair: Should I go shorter????

I think it looks great as is, however if you are considering cutting it I say GO FOR IT!!!I think you could def pull off a shorter doo. Now when I say shorter I mean a few inches shorter ....long enough to be able to pull up or back and do your braids and such. No shorter than like bra strap length. I think it will feel lighter,give ya some bounce and it will be great for WDW.

BTW you are looking good in that photo,no turkey arms. And you are such a beautiful family. Just too cute
Did you hear from your TA????I am getting impatient at this point

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

yeah I know but this trip was already planned before I ever heard of TGM....I need to go ck him out whats the website>>>

Run, don't walk... wait... hi-speed internet your way over to : tourguidemike(dot)com

dining with the enemy. OMG!!
Ill admit we have "them" in our family too. Sad isnt it???
You TMGers know who "them" are.

I seriously don't understand how people can go without a plan. Oh well, while they're ziggin', I'll be zaggin' so it's all good!!

Did you hear from your TA????I am getting impatient at this point

And hey, you'd better get your documents this week or I'm personally gonna go pinch your TA's head off!

Funny you guys should ask..........

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I bet you all can guess who called me today???
Yup, my trusty TA has completely redeemed herself!
My travel documents are in, baby!!!!
She's going to Fed-Ex them out to me today!!!

Let's see..... what have I done lately?
I completed and placed my order to gardengrocer. Just got some water, Propel, cereal and breakfast bars. I decided against ordering Pull-Ups from there. I bought a package from Target and Evan doesn't like them, even with the Cars pictures on them. I have to admit, they're pretty stiff compared to Pampers. So, I'll have to pack my own. Oh well. Comfort is important!

Oh, and see my lovely ticker?? Yeah, baby... we're down to days!!!

Can't chat, I'm painting my room. Don't ask!

 

[jcc0621]

We are down to days too Can't wait!

Now, you know I have to ask

 

[Disneyolic]

Hey Tracy. When I packed Brooke's pull-ups I didn't keep them all together in their package. I opened the package and slid them in all around the edges of our suitcases, making sure I put some in each suitcase. They filled in any empty pockets (what few there were). I just thought it was easier for packing them that way. Worked for us!

 

[DisneyJo]

Yeah your documents are here (mine aren't!!!!) And whooohoooo 29 days

That's a great, DM! Thanks! Last time, I think I used a mini suitcase for diapers, wipes, various disposable baby stuff and then on the way home I had an empty suitcase for all the crap we bought!

I am packing an empty duffel bag just in case I need more room on the way home.

We are down to days too Can't wait!

Yay, Janet!!! The excitement is just buzzing in the air around here!

Now, you know I have to ask

Ok, I'll spill.....

Yeah your documents are here (mine aren't!!!!) And whooohoooo 29 days

Where are your docs??? I'd be in a panic, especially traveling overseas and all!

Last edited by DisneyJo : Today at 12:51 PM. Reason: come on why are you painting your room????

Ok, so let me tell you the story:
When we moved to this house, I redid all the bedrooms. I did Maddie's in Tinkerbell, and Evan's was nursery animals. I kinda just took over and redid them how I wanted to without clueing Andy in. So when I started our room, I wanted like a Moroccan theme, sheer curtains, lots of candles, beautiful fabrics, etc. Well, Andy got mad that I didn't consult him. Can't help it, I was 5 months pregnant and the whole "nesting" thing got the best of me! So, I let him choose the room color to shut him up. Well, that was a mistake of epic porportions! He chose a color called Sunset... something or another... I can't remember. It was nice on the sample card, but when we painted the room it was the exact color of pumpkin pie. He refused to change it, so I've lived with it for 3 years.
Well, last week JCPenney had a HUGE sale on bedroom linens. Sooooooo, I bought a new comforter and new shams, the works. Hey, I got a wicked deal! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. The color you ask.... well actually it's green. No, sillies! Not lime but more of an Herb green, not really a Kelly green nor a moss green nor a sage with black and white accents. Anyway, it's pretty, I think. I'll try to find a pic. So, said new bedding does not in anyway, shape or form match the pumpkin walls, thankfully. So, I mosied over to our local HD and bought some new paint. It's called "cookie", and looks the shade of a butter cookie, go figure! My room looks totally different! So fresh and bright, I love it!
So that is the story of why I am painting my room - aren't you glad you asked?

Its almost go time, are the kids getting excited?

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Well, now not only do I want to redecorate, but I want a cookie.

Ya know it's bad when DH says to DS let's go to the mall to ride the merry go round and DS says to him, does that mall have a Disney Store? That's my boy

This is exactly why I don't let DH do anything except the actal painting. If it is up to him everything would be white, white, and oh yeah, white....

I LOOOOOOOVE new paint and color. It does so much for a room.We picked colors for our rooms when we were done with our expansion/remodel. I HATED the color of our powder room and laundry room (for the record so did our decorator) sooo......I am now known for having a room painted while my DH is at work . The painters come in in the AM and have it done and furniture/stuff moved in and dry before he gets home.Burn LOTS of candles to hide smell. Do you know it took him 2 weeks to notice that "something seems different" around here. Then one day he noticed......thank goodness he liked it. Laundry room is a mocha and powder room baby blue. I LOVE them, makes doing laundry a alot better
Post pics I love to see ideas of peoples rooms.

AND

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
your docs are in and you are down to days!!!!!!
