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

OMG! That video is TOOOOOOOO cute! It's almost like you can see the synapses in her brain firing...

"skip"

"no hop"

"NO, skip"

"wait, HOP!"

"Really, SKIP!"

"but we're HOPPING!"

Love it.
:laughing: You're right! After reading your post I went back to watch it again and that's exactly what she's doing!! :rotfl:

First, beware of premature lamination. You've still got 3(ish) months to go - you really don't anticipate any more changes?! :rotfl2:

Second, looove Maddies' video! She is just adorable, no matter how she "skips"!

Third, my DS says "There's Tampa!" any time he sees a few tall buildings together. Needless to say, we live in the spraaaaaaaawwwwl. He also calls overpasses "big hills"; we live in flaaat spraaaaaaaawwwwwl. ;)
Aha, good observation, dear grasshopper. BUT, I'm only laminating the maps that I cut from my Passporter at this time. Let me just say those maps are the bomb! They're so much better than the ones you get at the parks, as unlike the Disney maps, everything is named, not numbered, so there's no searching. :thumbsup2 I scanned, printed and laminated a map for every family for every park. A park essential for rookies like me! ;)

I couldn't help but smile at Maddie skipping!! It reminds me of my DD, who has no physical ability whatsoever!! So, has had more busted lips than any child I know!!!! I have never tried ot get her to skip...I guess it is time for a good belly laugh!!!!
:lmao: Two words for you.... Dance Class. It's done wonders for Maddie's balance and coordination! :thumbsup2
Tracy the video of Maddie skipping is so cute, she'd be good at the triple jump!:thumbsup2 Every year at sports day we have a skipping with rope race and it's so funny to watch the little ones especially the boys, but it's amazing how quickly they improve!

:goodvibes Thanks, Jo! She's got great athletic ability, but skipping is simply not her forte!
 
I love the Passporter maps! I like how they show the amount of time it takes to walk from one place to another. Very SWEET!:thumbsup2

I am stealing your scanning and laminating idea for our trip next year. I get so turned around at AK and MGM.
 
Those passporter maps are sweeeeet! My mom is going with me on the next trip (after the one next week that is) and those would be great. She has only been 2x, 1972 and 1994.

You would be proud, I already have spreadsheets started for Feb 08 and Aug 08 trips:thumbsup2 Got me some newbies to take care of.
 
You are hilarious!!! I've read your previous report and am checking in here too. I love "scrunchie lady". LOL!!
 

Great idea, laminating the maps! :thumbsup2 I do love those Passporter maps. I'll be using mine, too...

In 6 days!!!:banana:

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Back to your TR...
 
Maddie skipping, oh my gosh, how adorable! I think she's got it in her, somewhere... just needs some more time. I can clearly remember learning to skip when I was in preschool.... only one girl actually knew how out of our class.

Ok so Ive been meaning to get around to this. .I saw this photo a few days ago and said to myself hey Traceys DH looks familiar. Being as though I live in NJ and you in CA, I knew this prob wasnt possible. Then it hit me........he looks like that Carlos guy!!!!!!I read somewhere on here that your DH looks like Carlos from Desperate Housewives .I read your TR and have seen other pics of him, it just never clicked in this rather small head of mine. good for you getting a little hottie all for yourself!!!Do people mistaken him for the actor often??Other than of course employees at the Poly trying to steel from your bank account!!Allegedly that is.

It's not stealing, daisy, it's called becoming richer with DIS knowledge! :thumbsup2

Hi Love!! :welcome: I've seen your posts on the boards and never had the chance to comment on your siggie photo! I love your DDs smiles, and your son, he's so cute with his "I'm not sure I'm into this." look! :rotfl:
See? It's not just me...:rolleyes1 I said the same thing...
But, but.... I've got like a gazillion sq. feet of this stuff!! :confused3
In 6 days!!!:banana:

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Back to your TR...
Uhhhh... don't rub it in!!! ;) Beside, according to FDM, isn't it more like 4 days? Just sayin'...:rolleyes2:

T!!!! That's how I got my first tag. Miz Diz said that DH looked like Carlos, and I said that when I told him, his head instantly inflated! :rotfl2:
Anyway no one ever mistakes him for Ricardo Chavira (Carlos)! When I tell him this, his head is going to be so big, he'll tip over!! :sad2: Thanks, though! ;)
 
I just found this Mama. I didn't even know the DIS had a pre-trip reports board!! LOL :rotfl2:

Whaddup, G? Welcome, we could use a man's perspective 'round here!
You may even find I have used your warrior cry "UNGOWA" somewhere in this heap!! Don't worry, I gave you full and complete credit, althought I think I called you DMF, not MDF. :confused3 That's my DIS-lexia kicking in!
 
Ah ha, its all coming back to me now. I remember thats how you got our tag!!!With getting ready for this trip, I am apparently having memory lapses:confused: Sorry.

That's quite alright.... you've got DISNEY on the brain!!! How many more days??? 3?? 2??? :banana:
I am loving your trip report, I see there is a new chapter up. You and Linnie crack me up!!!!:rotfl:

I totally agree! Everyone, run and read his TR, it's so funny!! :lmao:
 
Yeah, DISNEY on the brain sure explains it!!!Well depending on what math you are using we have anywhere from 1-3 days. Our we leave on 29th(Sun) with a bright and early flight.The boys are going crazy and we were just there in Oct. They got "mouse disease" really bad. I am so glad!!!:rotfl:
 
So last night, in my boredom, I decided to get my vacation clothes together. Yeah, I know I still have 3 months to go, but if I'm going to need anything, I better do it quick as they summer clothes will be gone by June. They set out the Fall line in July! I KNOW! :sad2:

Somehow, I bought more than I thought. Which is a good thing, eh? ;) I ended up with 14 tops and 12 shorts and 2 swim suits, & 3 pairs of Crocs Athens. I've got 14 complete outfits, if you will. I need 2 more tank/cami's to end up with 16 complete outfits. I think I'm set. :rolleyes1 :rotfl:

The strangest thing happened yesterday. All these signs pointing to one thing....signs everywhere....did I see the signs? You betcha I did. :thumbsup2 But let me back up a bit. Yesterday morning, I was catching up on V's pre-trippie and noticed she mentioned her Mary Jane crocs. Well, I had purchased Maddie a pair of purple ones and I fell in love with them. THEN, I just happened to peruse the Budget board and found a 10% code for DICKSSPORTINGGOODdotCOM, well, I just had to go and see if they had the cute Mary Janes in my size. Well whaddayaknow... they had them. I used google check out for an additional $10 off and my total came to $17. :woohoo: Score!!! That brings my total CROCS purchase to 11!! :rolleyes:

So now I just need to hit Old Navy for some long tanks and wait for my CROCS to show up and the vacation wardrobe is complete, baybee!!!

Well, DH starts whining about needing new swim trunks. :headache: He asks if I can please go to Costco and pick him up a pair. Oh brother, now I've got to shop for him! He asks me to make sure the trunks are equipped with a catcher. What does that mean? :confused3 I laughed so hard when he told me that "catchers" are the mesh panty things attached to the inside of the shorts! :eek: :rotfl2:

MY TA HATES ME:

So the phone rings this morning, and it's my TA on the phone. :idea: I get very excited as she starts the conversation like this...

TA: Hi, Tracy, I just wanted to call you and let you know there's another code for free dining in August....
ME: (in my head thinking: OMG! I may get free dining after all!!! Does she know something I don't? popcorn:: )
TA: And I just wanted to let you know that I called WDW this morning and you still don't qualify unless you do the split stay, which isn't really worth it. So if you see this online or anything, I've already checked on it. So you don't have to call me.
ME: :headache: (Shocked, silence) Ok, Norma, thanks for calling.

I hang up the phone and The Enabler asks me what she said. I relay the conversation to her and she starts laughing and then tells me: "Norma just told you that so you don't call her and bug her anymore. Basically she's telling you your a pain in her butt!" Can you believe that?? :mad: :rotfl2:

OMG Tracy! I am sitting here at work taking a break when I read this! I am busting out laughing right now! Men really do come up with the weirdest explanations for things don't they? :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl:
 
Catchers are very important...what if Carlos was sitting criss-cross applesauce on the ground somewherez and gave all the desparate housewives a show???

Catchers are very important...you learn that when you work with kindigartners who choose not to wear unders and then they sit directly in front of you all cross-legged...

Just sayin'...catchers are important!
 
Catcher:lmao:

Awesome deal on the crocs! :banana: I wanna get me some of the new Capri style. That is a great price!:dance3:

The TA thing was just wrong!
