My Little Princess is Turning 8 trip report. Completed

[kaysmommie]

Your plans look great

Only two days left!!!!

Thanks I'm freaking out because I'm not getting anything accomplished and i have 2 days to finish.

I find myself running the numbers over and over again just hoping the deal of the century might pop up for my birthday. It's a big one this year ~ 40 ~ and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be but with getting a new house and all... it is longer than a long shot!

I've been over to the cruise board a little bit. We both subbed to a TR ~ did you notice? Mine is soooooooooooo far away that I don't want to get too wrapped up in it yet... then the wait will be all that more excrutiating!

Oh and yes... we booked a Cat. 4. I'm so looking forward to that verandah!

When is your Birthday? It's hard when you are purchasing sometihng big like a new house to be able to go on vacation too. Maybe a good code will come out, I haven't been lucky enough to get one this year. I'm still hoping somehow you manage to get back to Disney sooner. But if you don't, you have a wonderful trip planned! The Cruise and the Poly sounds worth waiting for.
I would love a Cat 4 just have a bit more space and a regular bed for DD. I worry bout her falling off that bunk. But I'm Alright with Cat 6 since now I have a balcony , can't wait either.

Thanks for the kind words about my kids. I started reading a bit of your pre trippie today. Looks like you will be having a nice 10 day trip for your Anniversary at POFQ. For my tenth anniversary in 2009 I'm hoping for Poly, GF, or Hawaii . Doesn't look good though. How did you like Pop BTW? This will be our first trip not staying deluxe. I miss the Jersey shore alot, I'm from Wall twp originally. I think you may have told me where your from but I can't remember, was it Spring Lake heights?? Anyway have a wonderful trip and I'll be reading your trippie too!"


Nope not Spring Lake Heights. We actually live in Toms River and DH is from Brick! Your trip plans look great! We LOVED Pop but it was our first stay onsite so we really had nothing to compare it too. We actually have switched from POFQ to the AKL for this trip and are so excited! Pop is fun for the kids. The rooms are def. smaller than the deluxes and so are the beds but it was clean and the kids loved it! You must be getting so excited!

dddisrunner, (Diane)
Small world that your DH is from brick, my Dh is from Howell . Way to go upgrading to AKL , I have always wanted to stay there. I love the Disney deluxe resorts, so relaxing. So far we have been twice to WL and twice to Poly. I will definately be reading your trip report when you get back. We are thrilled to be going in just 2 days.

 

[dddisrunner]

That is a small world! My SIL lives in Howell! Anyway, thanks for the congrats on AKL I am soooo ready to go already! I hope you guys have an awesome, safe trip and Happy Birthday to Kaylee!

ONE MORE DAY!!!!

The day before is always so hectic - I hope you are able to get everything done that you need to.

I think your plans look great - very realistic but still lots of fun. I'm curious to hear how you like the animation studio - that is something we never get to for some reason.

Love the Hannah Montana cake idea too - yum!

Is the BBB a surprise? What a great way to spend her birthday.

Is the BBB a surprise? What a great way to spend her birthday.

today will be a bit crazy, tomorrow too. Today is packing day. I also have to try on clothes to see what fits and what doesn't. Me not the kids KWIM.

Kaylee loves the animation drawing class. SHe would spend the entire time there if I let her. She doesn't care about anything else in MGM , I mean HS. BBB is a surprise but she asked to see the MK day to see if it's on the list. She is a surprise ruiner. I hid my itinerary, though I think she knows I would take her to MK on her Bday and not book BBB for her. I hope the surprise cake turns out good. I sent ugly purple Hannah Montana cupcakes to school with Kaylee. They were supposed to be very lightly sprayed with color(pink & purple) but they looked very dark eggplant color, oh well. The boy that sits next to her at school went home yesterday with Pink Eye . I have to call the Ped and see if they will call in eye drops just in case.

Later I wil take some pics of the autograph books the kids made and our countdown calender. BTW did you watch AI last night? Kaylee had to go to bed so she missed David A. He wasn't as good as usual but we voted for him and Brooke a few times. Thanks for the dancing banana's, that is how Kaylee was feeling this morning.

1 DAY LEFT! That's so exciting!

Just my $.02 worth on AI - I thought Brooke and Carly were the best girls and David C. was the best guy. Although I still really like cutie-patootie David A. even though he really flubbed up last night. I also like dreadlock guy as well as Michael Johns. I wasn't a fan of Chickizie until last night- I thought he did good as well. I think it will be Ramiele or Kristy to go home, maybe David H though.

Anyways, back to the regular scheduled celebration! Nichole is going to Disney in ONE DAY! Your plans sound great!

Have a wonderful trip and Happy Birthday! What a magical place to spend a birthday! You have beautiful kids- great ages for WDW! Can't wait to read your report!

When is your Birthday?

October 9th..... I'll still be checking on codes and stuff... I can't just give up! Especially now that I see you are driving down for a weekend because our drive is prety comparable to your's. So when you get back please tell me it was great and fine and easy... even if it wasn't!

Brooke and Carly. David A. is great but his nerves got the best of him. Ramiele ~ blah. I like her though ~ she has an amazing voice, she just picked a bad song. And Kristy... that was a train wreck. I winced through the whole thing!

Okay... now you have 4 cents!

NOW GET PACKING GIRL!!!

 

[mindyd]

Hope you have a safe drive down and a magical trip!

 

[dddisrunner]

In case I don't get back over here, have a great trip! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Thanks Sara,
I agree Kristy will proabaly go home, I don't think she is good at all. David H can go home too . Kaylee likes David A and I like Michael Johns and Brooke the best. Alot of them are good though. Why am I dreading packing so much . I wish I was DH and could just show up and go and have someone else plan and pack and worry about kids and dogs. Then again he proabaly wishes I had to go earn money so he could spend it all on Disney .

Have a wonderful trip and Happy Birthday! What a magical place to spend a birthday! You have beautiful kids- great ages for WDW! Can't wait to read your report!

and thanks so much!

Hope you have a safe drive down and a magical trip!

and Thank You

Okay, I hope I can tell you it was no biggie driving 10 hours to stay 3 days . I'm sure it's worth it, you are turning 40, you deserve it. Does it take you 10 hours from NC? Don't give up a code may come out. I'm hping for one too. After the cruise we might stay a day or two. Also we plan to go to MNSSHP on October 9th, your Birthday . I hope you get to go too, then we can have a DIS meet.

Anyway on to AI, yes Kristy was a train wreck and I agree David seemed nervous. I think Ramiele has and awesome voice but I missed her performance because I was working on packing the kids. I have to finish most of my packing today and I just can't get motivated for some reason. Been reading too many Trip reports I guess, don't want to get too far behind .

As soon as I see and October code I will PM you.

In case I don't get back over here, have a great trip! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Diane

Thanks so much!

Just checking in on your packing progress...??!! I am so excited for you! I showed Samantha your report and the pictures and description of Kaylee since they seem to like the same things. Now she is considering Disney for her birthday. Much better than a party with the kids from school.

Re AI - Sam actually stayed up to see her boy David A. She thought he was good. I like him but last night was not his night. I liked Carly and Brooke for the girls and David C and Jason for the boys. I really liked Chikezie also - he seems like such a nice guy. There - now you've got 6 cents!

 

[snowbell]

I am on board for this one. I heard you have plans to hang out with Memom.... make sure you take a picture of her... lol (I think she would kill me)-
you guys are going to have a great time. I stayed at Pop Century when I took my cousins in July and it really was not not bad. It is themed nicely and you can fax in a request to stay on the 4th floor (though as we know it is just a request). i will be staying there when I do my solo weekend in April (can you belive that was the only hotel I could get... oh boy)

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Nichole - I see your light on - shouldn't you be packing....

I felt the same way about having another party this year. I'm partied out and Disney seemed like a great idea since she has always wanted to go for her BDay. When is Samantha's Birthday? I think Kaylee and her would get along great, so much in common.

My packing isn't going too well because I posted on another thread yesterday where I gave my opinion and today I was being flamed and it got really ugly on both sides. I better stay on the trip report boards so much more fun and I actually like everyone on here . I'm done packing the kids except for last minute things. Now I'm going to pack the dogs and myself and I'm done. I will post again tomorrow with some pics and to say Goodbye.

Seems like everyone has the same favorites on AI. Kaylee was mad she wasn't able to stay up and watch David. I'll let her stay up tonight and watch the results at least since she is staying hom tomorrow. I voted for Brooke and David A last night. I forgot about Carly she has a good voice and seems like a nice person too. They have some talented people on the show this year.

Hi Snowbell ,
Glad to have you onboard. Yes if we go to SPectromagic on Saturday i'm going to give Memom a call so we can meet up. I will try and get a picture with her if she will let me. Glad to hear you were OK with Pop, I did request a 4th floor in the 50's. But if I don't get it, that's Okay. I can't believe you are going Solo in April. Are you going to do another report?

 

[kaysmommie]

Nichole - I see your light on - shouldn't you be packing....

Yes I should be but I'm still reading trippies, LOL. I swear my light will be off for at least a couple hours tonight.

Her birthday is May 25 which always falls on Memorial Day weekend. That is why I've never really pushed the Dinsey for her birthday thing. But, I've heard its not too bad and it sure beats the awful party she wants to have.
Maybe we will end up at Disney at the same time one of these days - it would be fun to meet.

Yikes! Some of the other boards can quite quite interesting. Better stick to the friendly trip board!

Well, did you hear that this is the "MOST TALENTED SEASON YET!!"

Good! You will need your rest.

Thomas's Birthday is May 20. He won't be going for his Bday this year maybe when he turns 5 . I would love to meet up sometime. I just measured Kaylee in case she feels brave enogh for RnRC but she is 47 inches. I don't think she would ride it anyway but her cousin told her how fun it was.

I'm not even going back to look at that thread, LOL they brought out the Jersey in me.

Every year on AI is there best talent ever!


I had to get caught up on Scott's trippie and then I'm logging off.
