Mickey's So Long Summer Cruise 2.0

[parlay]

We were out of park tickets, so we got a SHOPPING PASS. Ladies pay attention... it's a little secret Disney guards like gold. You put a hold on your KTTW card for a park ticket and get one hour to enter the park for free without being charged. We waited at the gates at rope drop for the crowds to thin out and ran like two fools down Main Street. We grabbed out bags in 21 minutes and $400 dollars later, we had our bags!!! Then we strolled around picking up Christmas gifts for the kids, Disney Dollars at Main Street, etc.

Shopping Pass - that one is now stored away in my memory!!

I promised Mikayla we'll go next year to Universal... oh, wait... I also promised we would go to Sea World... oh, wait... I also promised we would go back to Disney...oh, wait... I also promised we would go on back to back cruises.

Oh crap, I need to keep my mouth shut or rob a bank!!! I better rob the bank...

Let me know if you need accomplices!!

Today was kind of sad I took my daughter to College. We went to her room and it was so small that I think that her Cabin on the Dream will feel like a palace

She has a great roomate from the D.C. area and they both love Tinkerbell

my son is 2 years away from college and I'm already getting weepy! I'm glad she's got a great roommate.

Looks like Earl will pack a wallop

Hopefully all of the storms will continue to hang a right and stay out to sea

How to get a free Disney cruise...

Disney Magic cruise ship rescues stranded boaters 18 given medical attention, staterooms

WINTER PARK, Fla. - The Disney Magic cruise ship rescued more than a dozen people who were stranded at sea.


The ship, which is normally based in Port Canaveral, is spending the summer in Europe.

Early Friday morning, the ship overheard radio traffic of two other vessels searching for a boat in distress, the cruise line said.

Disney said the Magic then decided to join in the search and located the boat almost immediately. Disney said the boat in distress had lost power.

A Disney Cruise Line representative said the ship used one of its rescue boats to get to the 18 stranded boaters.

The 16 men and two women were taken on board the Magic and received medical attention, Disney said. They were then given staterooms, and later disembarked in Barcelona.

What a blur this summer has been- I can't believe it is Labor Day Weekend.
anyone have anything fun planned??

We will be going to a few BBQ's this weekend- pretty low key. School Starts Tuesday for us- and they have Thursday off for the Jewish holiday.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

No special plans for the weekend. Probably will do some yard work. I bought a power washer from the depot spot But saw one twice as good on HSN

So I will be returning the first one and waiting for UPS

Hey Peeps!

Nothin' happening here. Eric and I are working, so what else is new?

I can not wait for school to start on Tuesday. I'm thinking about putting Mikayla at the bus stop Monday night with her pillow and blanket.

Now that it's over, the summer flew by. Alas, my tan will start to fade.

Just think, we have our cruise to look forward to in a few short months.

Busy day here...

School starts TOMORROW!!! Do you think party hats and confetti are too much at the bus stop?

Just hung up with the overzealous soccer coach. Practice two nights a week. Games once a week. Now I have to dig out the soccer stuff!

3rd grade open house on Wednesday, to meet the teacher.

I put money in the lunch account.

Time to hit the ground running... so much for easing back into the routine.

School started today here....I am so sick of filling out medical forms, emergency contact information...with the computer age upon us, there has to be an easier way! Just back from hell...I mean Walmart, to get some school supplies. It was like a bomb hit it- hardly anything left and countless other angry moms with their kids searching frantically for the right color one subject notebook......

This should be the most wonderful time of the year

The kiddos will spend most of the day with someone else and part of the night studying

School starts tomorrow for my youngest DD's. Public schools in Philly started today and will be off Thursday and Friday for the Jewish hollidays.

[My4PhillyGirls]

Happy Weekend Everyone. We have been awfully quiet

I hope everyone enjoys the last days of Summer since it ends on the 21st

Ahoy, me hearties! (That means “hello my friends” in pirate-speak.) September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. The day started as a joke back in 1996 by some guys in Oregon and become official in 2002.

I would enjoy a good conversation with Captain Jack!!!

FYI, I was on a Disney cruise when the day became official, yeah, it got boring after a few hours

 

[My4PhillyGirls]

Can't speak a lot of Pirate talk but....

I have saved over $2,000.00 by booking early for this cruise

 

[My4PhillyGirls]

Tomorrow opens the window for me to be able to book my flight for the cruise.

I will see what US Airways has to offer and then compare.

 

[gottolovedisney]

Haven't been on the boards in awhile but doesn't look like I missed much....I guess that means everyone's life has been busy!


Been working lots of hours and dealing with the back to school craziness-- I hate doing homework with the kids...it doesn't do my self esteem any good when you can't figure out how to do your kids math!

I am Enjoying the warm weather, and beautiful leaves- hoping to go apple picking this weekend....

Hope you all are well!

Did you go apple picking? My DD's and I went yesterday afternoon. I should have given the 10 yr old a smaller bucket - she picked 17 lbs of apples, between the 2 girls and myself we picked about 40 lbs of apples!! $35 later we had more than enough apples to share with all our neighbors. Once they started picking they just couldn't stop! LOL
