[meeskamouska]

Glad to see that you have gotten all of your plans mapped out!! BTW...you have such adorable kiddos!!!

 

[sorul82?]

My dad, every night he'd kiss my DSis and I and say "night boys" to which we'd reply "we're not boys we're girls", he still does that with my 2 DD's He's a bit mad, S'Late would love him as he skips down the street too

Are you saying that I am mad?

 

[boysmom5150]

Firstly and most important, Maddie is soooo beautiful..

OK as for you your trip-sounds like you are all set, ADR's,touring plans are done,not much else to obsess over. Or is there??
Hope fully you will have some family time to enjoy the parks with just DH and the kids.

We had the same rule at our home growing up. No matter what 6pm everyone at the dinner table together to discuss our day, eat and laugh. Because of that we have the same rule at our home. I personally thinks its GREAT!!

JUST A BIT OF DISNEYLAND MAMA TRIVIA:

I cannot skip. Sad, I know, but I just can't do it. I wasn't born with that gene and watching Maddie try to skip, apparently she wasn't born with that gene either! Have you ever seen the friends episode where Phoebe and Rachel go jogging and Phoebe runs all crazy looking with her legs swinging out and her arms flailing about? Well, that's me and Maddie!

You know we're all going to get you to skip in August now

I'm a little more than 4 months away. 4 months???? That's right around the corner. Yickes!!!

Are you using V's FDM calendar

So, we've scratched out Soarin', Jungle Cruise, POTC, Buzz Lightyear, Astro Orbiter, and Space Mountain.

They're all on our must do list

In case the Ducks decide to tour on their own, I've created a spreadsheet for them with TGM's best park days and what time of day for each attraction. Other than that, they're on their own.

You know soon you could set up TGT (Tour Guide Tracy)

Oh and here's a picture of Maddie, devouring her chocolate bunny! I had to post it because according to Maddie, "It's not fair that Evan's on youtube and she is not!

Tell Maddie no it wasn't fair and Mummy needs to video her too, and tell her how pretty she is

Are you saying that I am mad?

No just that you could skip together down the street/at Pop

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

You should take a video of that!!(you of course)LY,MI

Oh yeah... I'll post it on youtube titled "Spaz on Parade!"

Maddie will get the hang of it.DS4 is just got it a few months ago, and he is really coordinated. He has been ice skating for about 3 months and is soooo good. He puts me to shame and I have been doing it for most of my 33yrs!!!
I know that Friends episode and it cracks me up!!!

Poor Maddie, she's taking Gymnastics to help her coordination and balance. Hopefully it helps! Bless her heart!

I love that show! Love AB too, but why did she have to pump up her lips so...?

I love the pumped lips. Bare Minerals has this lip gloss that pumps up your lips, it makes them all tingly. It's so funny. I bought it and put it on and my lips were soooo pouty! It's great!

Glad to see that you have gotten all of your plans mapped out!! BTW...you have such adorable kiddos!!!

Thanks Meeska!

Firstly and most important, Maddie is soooo beautiful..

Thanks, T!

OK as for you your trip-sounds like you are all set, ADR's,touring plans are done,not much else to obsess over. Or is there??

Don't be fooled, my friend. I've just got the bones of the trip set up. Time to adding the meat and potatoes!

just subscribing!

TEminnie! You're a Focker, aren't you? Hmmm... where have I seen you? :

You know we're all going to get you to skip in August now

Given enought adult libations, that would be possible!

Are you using V's FDM calendar

And you know this, JO! :thumbsup3

Tell Maddie no it wasn't fair and Mummy needs to video her too, and tell her how pretty she is

Thanks, Jo!

FUNNY STORY:

Yesterday when I picked Maddie up from school, her teacher pulled me aside and told me that the class was having a discussion about what school they would be attending next year. (She goes to private pre-school this year) So most of the kids named off local schools... St. Marks, St. Bruno, St. Mary, yada, yada, yada. When it was Maddies turn, she looked at the class and said St. Disney World. All the kids oooohed and ahhhhhed! I had to explain that we were going to Disney World this summer and that she would be going to Laurel School. I guess we'll have to work on school more and Disney planning less!

Awwww that is just so sweet, if only hey!

 

[sorul82?]

I want to go to St. Disney World! Someday, when I win the lottery, I'm gonna live in one of the Tree Houses and my children will attend St. Disney World.

 

[princessjv]

Maddie a gorgeous. What a sparkly she has in her eyes! I agree with Jo, she need to be a star of her own pre-trip segment video.


So Tracy, I joined TGM. I am having some issues...they are mine...not his.

Where do I find that schedule you have? When does he tell me what parks to go to on what days? I want to be able to make my ADR's tomorrow!

 

[puggymom]

I have been reading your pre trippie the last few days and

I am so jealous that you can go to Walt's park so often, I made the pilgramage in '05 for the 50th (1st time since 1976) and just fell in love with DL park. I have to admit it took some of the luster off of MK. I LOVED NO square and Fantasyland, and then there is Indiana Jones and of course POTC is sooooo much better. Well you get the idea, I LOVE DL Park I am Lime green with jealousy.

Your kids are just gorgeous!

Ohhh... we could start a whole Disney World cult. Oh, wait we already did!

Yeah, I guess we'll work on that tomorrow. She'll talk talk talk forever!! She's a ham and a know it all. I wonder where she get's that from?

Puggymom ! Isn't Indiana Jones THE best?!? I used to go to the park everyday when it first opened. Arrive at 7am and hoof it to Adventure Land! I even had a secret Baby Swap scam going. I know, I know... shame on me.
I love your pups! They remind me of the dog from Pocohantas!

 

[Castillo Mom]

Whoa, that's a whole lotta catching up I had to do!

First off, your kiddos are adorable! Love the picture of your daughter and her chocolate bunny. Makes me think about my niece who I haven't seen in months since her parents moved her to South Carolina.

So your DH wants to go on a Disney cruise and WDW? You're married to the perfect man I tell 'ya! And your mom wants to go to the Flower and Garden Festival?! I think it'll be cinch convincing your DH to go for DVC. Just use DFM to justify it! I'm seriously thinking about doing the DVC tour during our trip in Aug.

Ok, so I'm waiting for the next installment about the vacation wardrobe. Honey, I'm right there with you. I've been to NY & Co. so much lately, all the employees know me by my 1st name!

 

[PrincessV]

OH, how GORGEOUS!!!!

Maddie, I mean.





Oh okay, you know me too well....and the spread sheet, too.

For what it's worth, my DS can't skip worth a darn. It's really very entertaining to watch!

She would be perfect for the CP!! You should tell her she can go to school in Disney World after she is out of high school.

Thank you! Maddie is still trying to devour that bunny, a week later!

It seems I've passed the Disney bug to my family!

Oh man, it's really bad. I'll post more about it in my next installment.

OH, how GORGEOUS!!!!

Maddie, I mean.

Thanks, V!

Oh okay, you know me too well....and the spread sheet, too.

Have you seen it on TGM? It made my heart pitter patter! LOL!

For what it's worth, my DS can't skip worth a darn. It's really very entertaining to watch!

Awww... bless his heart!

She would be perfect for the CP!! You should tell her she can go to school in Disney World after she is out of high school.

Great idea!!! I'm going to have to mention it to her!



SOMEONES FEELING A LITTLE CRAFTY!!! WATCHOUT!

So I posted on TFW Chat that I was feeling a little crafty today. So here's what became of my crafty mood: They're not Martha Stewart worthy, but I did my best and for $3.25 per shirt, they're perfection!

For DH I put DISNEYLAND DAD under Disboards.com and for me I put DISNEYLAND_MAMA. I didn't know what to put for the kids, so I put I'M WATCHING YOU DIS-ER!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Look at you GO! Goin' and gettin' all crafty on us...DH makes shirts for us every time we go. EVERY time. We never get comments. EVER! But you will. The lime will surely get you noticed.

Your DH makes shirts? Can he train other DH's?

 

[Castillo Mom]

I love it, that's sooo cool! Crafting is fun to do with the weather we're having. I'm not the crafty type so I resorted to looking into custom Ts at Zazzle.com. I'm gonna get Ts made for us for the P&P Party.

Ooh, and I can't wait to read the next installment about the new wardrobe! Will you post it by tomorrow, huh, will 'ya, please, huh?! I want a full pictorial!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

S'late, he does shirts AND the spreadsheet. Am I lucky, or what?
