MNSSHP ~ We Will Miss You This Year!!! *****Update 9/12*****

I love your countdown calender - it's great!
We don't have Home Depot over here, and we don't do get the Mickey paint head samples :sad1:
I'll need to try a similar idea - get out the craft set!

Would you like me to mail you some? I could go get the lime green DIS ones that you make tags with :)

 
WOW...lucky family to be going two times in a year! :goodvibes Now, I need to go back and read your other TR....Hope you don't mind me asking but you have three gorgeous kids but how in the world did you manage to have the younger two within 20 days :confused3 Bet they are so very excited going back again!!! Also, how did you like Prime Outlets on I Drive...I'm thinking of going there just because I hear there is a discounted Disney store for souvies. Was it worth it spending an afternoon there? Is there more than 1 Disney store at this location? Thanks so much for the info....I'll keep on checking back for more updates!!! :goodvibes

Hi! :)

I know, I can't believe we're going twice in a year ~ it feels so great!!!

About the kids...I reveal all in my last TR ;):laughing: To make a long but very interesting story short, my sister had Nara 20 days after I had Zar :goodvibes They had the same due dates!!! I also had Trevon back in 1996, so I had the two boys and she had the girl, who by the way is just like her :laughing:

They are excited. This trip won't be all parks like the last trip , and they're excited about that. We'll be doing lots of Disney exploring and enjoying plus other great things.

We LOVE Prime Outlets. We have to go at least twice every trip! We only go for the WDW outlet though. We're not big shoppers. Actually, we always go to the Thorlo outlet (socks) and the Birkenstock outlet when they had one. It's gone now :(

There is only one WDW outlet at that location, but it is the best one. It's HUGE and the stuff you find there is amazing!!! I definately recommend going there for the afternoon, and stop and eat at Sweet Tomatoes while you're in the area ~ it's wonderful :lovestruc

The outlet has everything from trading pins for $2.99, lanyards for a dollar, tee shirts for 5 dollars and up, hats, toys, snow globes, everything you find in the parks, from all the parks inc. the water parks. They also sell tee shirts and hats from rides like EE, etc. and the prices are way cheaper than in the parks. It's amazing. Heaven for WDW lovers:cloud9:

There is also another one closer to Disney, but I never find more than one maybe two things to buy there. Last time we just found a sun hat. The time before that a shirt. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to that one personally, but the big one is so worth your trip I promise!

Thanks for reading, and enjoy our last TR. I really enjoyed writing it and it was a great , fun trip :)


 

The countdown calendar is so cute!!!

We went to Gatorland all the time when I was a kid!
I haven't been there in years. (at least 23)!
My Dad always suggest we go but we never find the time. :sad2:
He says there are a lot of nesting birds there in the trees.

The outlet sounds like a great deal. Especially the $2.99 pins!

Thanks!

GatorLand sounds like a neat way to spend part of the day, we'll see how it goes.

The outlet is amazing! We bought all the $2.99 pins they had in Jan. :rotfl: It was like $150 bucks. This time we're prepared though, we bought 200 from the seller we use on ebay.

 
Would you like me to mail you some? I could go get the lime green DIS ones that you make tags with :)


Earthfairies I really appreciate the offer but it's too much hassle for you posting them over here!!! DIS people are the best people in the world !:grouphug:
I'll find something here to use - will finally put those craft sets they got at Christmas to good use ;)
Many thanks again,

Wow, you are sooo lucky to be going for Halloween... We wanted to go in 2009, but my sis and I changed our minds and we are bringing our parents to a fabulous San Francisco - Las Vegas trip in July 2009 for their 50th... so no Disney next year :sad2:
It's ok... we'll go for Halloween in 2010... that's a promise to my kids... oh! by the way, the kids are coming too... the Grand Canyon, Criss Angel and Star Trek experience, is what they want to see ha! ha! I NEVER leave home without them ha!
 
Oh.. I don't need to hear about outlets! LOL... Since we're driving, I have more room to put stuff!!!
I'm sure you are getting so excited!! I know I am!!

I know ~ we can't wait!!!

San Francisco and Las Vegas! How fun!!! We did that in 2000, I will never forget that trip~San Francisco was wonderful, Muir Woods, China Town...we had an incredible time:goodvibes Trevon still talks about Las Vegas. We stayed at MGM and once again had a super fun time. If I could choose San Francisco and Las Vegas or WDW right now, I'd pick to go out West ;)

You guys will have a super time. We're not going back to Disney until 2010 either after this, we'll go in Jan. again :)

Thanks so much for coming over to my PTR , I am really enjoying yours. I wish you could do more updates though!!! :rotfl:

We are getting so excited! It's the 6 week mark you know. After that it's here before you know it!

Outlets ~ LOVE them!!!

Make sure to stop a couple of times and fill your car up :laughing:

 
Yay, just found your pre-trip report! I LOVED your last TR so I am so looking forward to this adventure as well. I have not started reading yet but you can bet that I most certainly will catch up over the next few days!!!:surfweb:
 
Oooh me too!!! We plan to take out practically empty suitcases and buy buy buy!!!! Things are so much cheaper in the US compared to here!! :)

I don't blame you! My mom just got back from Europe and told me the prices there in Italy and Germany, Turkey, etc. and wow ~ it's cheap over here compared to there!!!

Hi!!! I'm so glad you found our PTR! It's great to hear from you :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the last one, and hope you enjoy this one :goodvibes

 
Ok, I couldn't wait until tomorrow. All caught up now. :goodvibes

DH and I have been looking for the outlet store that you mentioned. Seems that we find the other place that doesn't have much every time. :confused3 I'm going to look up the address to the Prime Outlet Mall and put it in my handy dandy binder. ;)

Can't wait to hear more about your plans.

:laughing: , I just came on to read your PTR!

It's very easy to find. Just MapQuest it and take it with you, that's what we did the first time. It's at the end of International. You've been missing out!!! You've got to go in a few weeks!

I will do an update today. We don't have too many plans that involve actual parks...this trip is different from the last. At first I wasn't going to write a PTR, and last night I was still wondering if I was going to continue to do it, but I think that I will, even though we aren't going to lots of parks, we're still doing LOTS of Disney!!!

Well, I'm off to catch up on yours now :)

You HAVE to continue your PTR! I wan to hear about all of the other things to do as well! And I want to hear how the kids liked MNSSHP too! Keep writing!

I will definitely put the address in our Tom Tom. We're taking it with us because my sister likes to take a trip to Clearwater and it is just handy to have. I'll be sure to put the address in there before we go. In fact, if I have time next weekend I may stop there as well. My business trip in Tampa is Thursday and Friday and my plane doesn't head back until Sunday so I have time to spend. Hmmm, I think I have some shopping in my future!
 
So if you read the last PTR you met our 4 beautiful cats, from left to right,

Niko, Pumpkin , Eve & Herbie

In addition to our kitties, we also have a wonderful (Gasp) DOG !!! Something we thought we'd NEVER get :laughing:

Her name is Roxy (She was already named that when we got her). She is 7 months old now, we've had her for a month and a half. She is the sweetest dog! She never sleeps alone, wheter it's day or night:laughing:

Here are some cute pics ~ and yes, she's a little Chihuahua, just 4 1/2 pounds. She's very sociable, she LOVES people. She freaks out anytime anyone comes over or anytime anyone pays her any attention outside of the house.

She , along with our cats, will be staying at home with my mom this trip. She will be taking care of the children I watch in my home during the weekdays and our pets. Thanks Grammie!!!

OMG is your dog a cutie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 4 cats too! Don't you just love them?

Thanks! How neat! I do love my cats. They are all so wonderful and different in their own ways. Out of all our animals though, Roxy is the only one who wants to be held.

 
:cool1: :banana: :woohoo:

We're in the 30's !!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! It won't be long now, boy how time flies!!!

Last night we worked on our pins. They are ready to go now. If you read our last TR you know how much we LOVE pin trading!!!

Here are some pics from Jan. of the kids and their pins :laughing: Those lanyards we got at the WDW outlet on International. The CMs use them a lot I noticed and they are wonderful ~ they don't pull on your neck and the pins stay on well because there is a flap, easy to get off and on.

Zar doesn't like wearing his lanyard, he say's it's uncomfortable. Last night while we were doing pins and he was playing Lego Indiana Jones of the Wii though, he noticed that Indiana Jones wore a thing over his shoulder like the lanyard, so now he wants to wear it :rotfl:

I bought 200 official WDW pins from a great seller on Ebay a few months ago (if you want their name just PM me ;) )

Last night we took our lanyards out and took our pins from our last trip off, but those in a WDW Pin Trading backpack, with seperate pages for each person. Then we put the pins we are taking on the lanyard and the ones that wouldn't fit in the pocket on the back of the lanyard. The kids got 20 new pins each for this trip, but they were so good that Zar is only taking 11 of his and Nara and T are only taking about 15 or less :laughing: I'm taking 19 of mine. I kept one, well, was going to but Nara loved it so much I traded it to her.

When we get back we are going to buy a canvas from the craft store and stick all of our pins on it and hang it on the wall so we can enjoy them everyday :goodvibes

It was so fun looking and remembering all our pins and where we got them last night :goodvibes Nara kept saying "Oh, I want to go now, tonight!" Me too!!! :laughing: But we have to wait...not too long though ;)

So the pins are ready and today we are making our countdown calendar. Last time we put it up at 30 days, but we may do it today a little early...

The kids don't want to wait 9 more days to put it up and I guess it doens't matter.

Well, I'm off to color and design the mickey heads now ~ I will post later about our plans.

Bye!
