Move over Dumbo our circus is taking over! Surprise trip adventure!!

[LoJoDisney]

AHH! That's amazing!! Yay for great Cast Members and pixie dust!!!

 

[annegirl]

That is AMAZING!! What an awesome cast member to do something so cool for them. I love it. And I would have been crying too.

 

[Clio]

Sorry about your frontdesk cast member. I'm at AOA right now and every cm I've met has been very nice. The one we had at check in was a little confused. We didn't get the exact room we wanted but we like what we got. We're in Cars close to the buses and food but far from the Car.
In reply to the question you asked part of South Carolina is boring as is most of Florida . I think they move the same trees and signs down the road. Georgia is still the most boring.
It was really nice of that cm at EPCOT to sprinkle extra pixies dust on your kids.
We love AOA which surprises my because we've always stayed at FQ.

We're in Joliet now.

Aha! got cha...

We are newly 5...used to be 4...Me, Ty, and Skye have been to POR before but Cary and Dylan have never been at all. But, when were were there we stayed in the mansions so I'm not familiar witht he bayou...and I heard rooms were remodeled.

it's a BIG resort you might want to look at the preferred rooms? being next to the buses and FOOD it important to us.. so we got the preferred room even for the one night..
did you look into AoA i haven't gotten to this in the report yet. yet might be good for you.
LOVE the bayou!! LOVE the food more!!! they have a great pool too.

I'm not too worried about space, I mean more would be nice but we do really just sleep there so I'd rather save the cashola! I don't think the boys (step-brothers of sorts) will share but if not, one of them (or they can take turns) can pile up the top blankets from the beds and sleep on the floor. Skye and Ty would/could share a bed but I don't know that Dylan woudl be comfy on the murphy...ah, no biggie, we'll be in DIsney and exhausted by the time we're crashing so no one is going to really care where they sleep in the end!

savings always wins in the end doesn't it?!? i hope it works out!

It has been a long time since the last time we drove...but it is looking like the best option right now in the interest of being able to spend as much as possible in the budget on the actual vacation fun...I have a long time to go back and forth and change my mind so I'll figure it out eventually!

i really didn't mind the drive. besides it being boring and i was pooped afterwards... i would do it again if it got me back to Disney!!!

What a sweet cm!!!!! Thats wonderful that she did that for you!

isn't she the best person on the face of the earth?!?

WOW...that was some MAJOR pixie dust scored there for those adorable triplets, my friend. I would have been in tears too. Good for all of you after the crabby ones at AOA.

I KNOW!!! It was just perfect! After dealing with stone face Danielle was there to save the day! She didn't even know it!

Aw how great!!

Well, that was an awesome way to start off the day at Epcot!

tell me about it!!! I just LOVE DISNEY!!!

What a lovely story! Man, I'd be writing Guest Relations a thank you note for Danielle, gracious! That's SO cool!

So which stuffies did the kiddos choose?

ARE YOU KIDDING! of course i did!!!! she deserves an award (totally wrote that in the letter too)
cant tell you that yet..

That....is....so....FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!! That CM is so what a CM should be! I would have totally been crying too!

ah-maz-ing CM and i am so glad to be able to share this story. i just love awesome CM's who go out of their way to do something nice!!!

AHH! That's amazing!! Yay for great Cast Members and pixie dust!!!

yes yes!!!

That is AMAZING!! What an awesome cast member to do something so cool for them. I love it. And I would have been crying too.

I think i am down to 3... I have to quit the latest dog training one.. just too much. plus they really *&^#@ me off..


**********************************************************************

I worked all weekend! Yes i did. So i missed Meg's game. Which from my understanding was horrible with the ref's and now i have to call on it.

We grabbed a movie Transformers. the last one.. We enjoyed it. I just have issues on my city taking such a battle! Helps i was able to see a lot of being filmed!!!

Sunday-
Worked again boys had a football game. Thankfully i wasn't there, some kid tackled Matt in the back. He was carried off the field. The moms i am friends with took care of him for me. The second half of the game he wanted back in. Wanted revenge.
So they put him back in. He played both Offense and Defense nonstop. After the game the head coach made a speech about Matt. How he took a hit to the back and wanted back in. Played the entire 2 half. How Matt has heart for the game. If any of the other players had half his heart and team spirit they might just won ONE game. He now has the nickname of Monster Matt.
After a long shower when they came home Matt is perfectly fine no injuries.
I still think after the season i am going to have him checked out. between baseball and football this kids has sustained a LOT of injuries. Nothing i have had to take to the doc. But there have been a lot.

Yesterday was MY DAY WITH THE KIDS!
what did we do? we had to clean. I wasn't happy about it, yet with their help:



we were able to get it pretty clean in a couple of hours! then we made some DELICIOUS Rice krispie treats with caramel in the middle!!!

Off to Target for some Halloween FUN! we deserved it after cleaning for the most part of the day. First i have to tell you I have no idea WHY but whenever we go to target it turns into something like this:


then this:


yeah we have a great time in TARGET!! Have no idea what it is about that store but it makes us all giddy fun.

Then had to go to my sister's to hook up her new computer. I ONLY HAD ONE drink!!! yay me!

today is much the same hum drum day. Work Basketball then registration for VOLLEYBALL!!!! YAHOO!!!

OK now that photobucket is all fixed we can get on with this report!!!

 

[CaseFace5]

Hi!!!! I'm glad you came over!
Poor Ana (morticia).. she is not a welcoming kinda person. but Danielle was PERFECTION!
I hope you enjoy my crazy little report!!! please post away!

The pictures at Target when I saw them on FB yesterday made my day. I was

GOOD!!! we had way too much fun in Target.. Don't know what it is about that place! Better not let us know which Target Mark is or we will be there!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

LAWD!!! I was soooooo far behind on this one!!! I thought for sure I had subbed to it, but for some reason I was not. Anywho, I am caught up now. No way I will remember to comment on everything, but I will hit the highlights that I remember...

The back of the car was so cute!!! Great job, MoMom!!!

I hear you on the LONNNNG overnight rides to WDW. We did that for this cruise. While it was super fun to ride along with our friends, we were squished and the night was long. We were creeking and moaning and groaning when we finally got out of the car too. Come to think of it, our pit stops got longer and longer as the night wore on. We may or may not have had 20-30 minute long pit stops along the way.

Have I told you how much we POR? That is the most fantastic resort. We will greatly miss it when Gabe outgrows that little bed.

YUCK, on the squishy sneakers. I feel the same way...such an awful feeling. I had NO IDEA you could get sneakers at Mouse Gears. Yep, you were just vying for a new Disney wardrobe, it was all a part of your plan!!

So much magical pixie dust was dumped on you and yours...except for Morticia. Get a job somewhere else, lady!!! BUT, so many folks more than made up for it!!!!

Oh, you left us at Beirgarten! You know how much WE liked it. I hope you did too...

And your Target shenanigans>>> LOVE!!!!!!
