Sorry I missed an update yesterday, don't think I have time today either. You offered help on setting a link to this ptr in my signature, that would be great I keep looking on tech help and not finding anything except how to put pics in signature. Maybe I should just ask you questions. Feel like that is the lazy way of doing things. Anyways got to get to work. Thanks for all your help.

Let me see if I can remember. First you copy the link at the top of your PTR. Then go to your profile and go to edit signature. Click on the blue earth with the paper clip symbol and paste the link in the box. Then click ok and you should be able to type the name of your PTR - No turning back. Hopefully that'll work - let me know if it doesn't.

Two for the price of one. Why, Because we like you. Plus, both are short list for me and I feel bad that I wasn't able to post this weekend. Not to mention I wrote this out in my notebook back on Monday night.

Disney Hollywood Studios

Mickey Mouse would have to be 3510 feet tall to wear the giant Sorcerer Hat. Just if you ever wondered.

My list here is short but oh so sweet.

Great Movie Ride
Indian Jones Stunt Show (still have to pass this on by DD)
Muppets
Toy Story Mania
Beauty and the Beast
Rocken Rollar Coaster
Tower of Tarror


Animal Kingdom

The animals kept getting in the way of gardeners. So they had to be trained to go back to their night houses, Each species is trained by different audio cues, whistles beat of a drum, triangles, etc. So they all know their cue.

Back in 08 we did the Kilimanjaro Safari we enjoyed it, but neither one of us is really into animals or nature when there are rides to be done, and shows to watch. So for our list goes not adding any trails. I’m sure I will walk some in passing just they didn’t make our list.

At first we weren’t going to do Lion King. We both love the movie but it didn’t appeal to us till we saw pics of show on the boards. Now it is a must do on our list. To the point will try to make it to first show the morning we go.

So here is my list In no real order, unless you count the order of the planning books.

Lion King
Kali River Rapids
Expedition Everest
Dinosaur
Primeval Whirl

Short list. Might have to use fast passes for a few. Is why I’m not saying no trail. I think this is a nice park to walk around. I’m more interested in the Tree of Life. Thinking we will have a lot of pics of that alone.

Thank you. I did figure it out this morning. Ran into a little of problems but I credit that to I was still asleep when trying to figure it out. Hoping to post my shopping trip later today.

 

[momabbate]

Ok so what did I do all weekend. Went shopping and worked. Wasn’t that bad. Tax free for clothing for Friday and Saturday. Took DH with me and found more for him then for me. That’s ok I think I have all that I need. Did find some plain sandles . Have a messed up foot so cant fit into most shoes.

Now as for what I did for trip well lets see. To start I belong to two other chat rooms so I had to buy a button to wear at parks. Also am trying to think of something to do with lime green mickey head. Best purchase was pins off eBay to start pin trading.

Did start on trip envelopes. Got all of mousekeeping done and filled. Now to stay out of them.

Hope you call had a great weekend. Have to go back to a full week of work. I hate breaking schedules my body doesn’t want to work. But do have to save some spending money and start saving for next trip.

Oh exciting news today. My DS who is 21 is engaged. He has been planning this for months so it wasn’t a big surprise. She is a nice girl. Only met her three times. She is still trying to figure the family out. We are kind of an odd family. We have me with my Disney. Hubby looks like he doesn’t care but is much into history, and politics. Middle DS is more a jock. DD well she is just DD one of a kind (in a very good way). Now oldest DS he is my bookworm. Everyone is so different in our family., but we fit together nicely. Just takes time to figure us out.

I'll be at Pop the same dates (minus a day)!

I think our minds are linked planning wise, I went in January with my mom for my bday! Sorry to hear about your aunt as well.

Are you planning on doing MNSSHP?

 

[TanzUnited99]

You sure have short lists for DHS and AK - my lists are huge with wanting to take everything in! Am glad you are watching Lion King as have heard it is a great production.

Great mousekeeping envelopes Still need to get mine done. Yay on putting the link in your siggie!

Lol I laughed at reading about your family as our family are the same! We are all into different things with some similarities but fit together perfectly

Ya list are short. Still have time for them to grow, DD hasn't put her list in yet. She is going threw a hard month with money due to a car situation. Not the best time to ask her to do list. She doesn't handle stress well. Keep telling her all things work out over time. They just have to get threw this month.

Have to think what I'm going to post for tomarrow. This is harder then it seems. But in a fun way.

 

[momabbate]

So I dont't know where my head was when I went to bed last night. But I woke up late (made it to work on time) but had all the wierd ideas in my head of what could go wrong. Normally I'm not like this. So I set out to check on a couple of things. First I still don't have time off from work yet. Everyone knows and my manager says she will make sure I get it off just have to wait to hear back from work force. I tried to put in request the first day I could (back at 90 days), but they got tossed out due to me changing departments. I now answer to a different work force team. They got the request about 65 days out. Again my manager told me not to worry. I guess I am a little worried. Second out of nowhere I got an idea that my vacation time wouldn't be ready for me to use. If you can tell our work force department doesn't get things done fast. My aniversary with them is the end of this month. Can't remember when I finally got this years vacation time. So for this I went to head HR. He said I should have my vacation time by the 8/4 so again someone telling me not to worry. Then he asked how long vacation is and where to. So I told him a week at WDW. Now he wants to come. Just joking. But my little question turned into a 30 talk. He has been twice and can't wait to get back. He has a brother who goes twice a year. After talking to him, and reading up on Its Tough to be a Bug thinking of adding this to our list. Funny listing to a guy in late thirtys talking about it. He says it was so cool. And the first thing he mentioned. He then went to talk about Rockn Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Anyways its late and 430 comes early.
Good night all.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Oh no hope you manage to get the time off work

Just to let you know It's Tough to be a Bug is closed in September - it's a shame as I was looking forward to experiencing it myself.

 

[momabbate]

I told myself not to be like some and leave readers hanging, But like all have a life offline. Not much Disney stuff this week. Work still is working with getting vacation time worked out for me. I will get it off just to many departments. Althought I was told that if I didn't get it off my om would just use my tickets. I informed her that nope in my name can't change, maybe try puting her is suitcase but then I would still be going. She really has no desire to go, although her kids would love it. Did pick up some matching tshirts for dd and me. Would love to show you but my computer won't up load pics right now. Hopefull by Sunday will have the pics. I did get mail. Not Disney mail but close. I signed up for tourning plans for this trip and got hooked on lines app, so had to order one of there buttons to wear around the parks. This should be the week to get Disney mail, I think. We did book threw ta and I am going to go pick it up the day it comes in. Will make a day of it. Take DD and have lunch. Can't believe were down to 33 days. Sorry don't have much to say. Will get back to you soon. As the days get closer will have more post.

How come everyone comes to visit in one day. Have both DD with her BF and DS home. Then my DN (who lives in Fl ) stop in. Anyways, DS was able to check settings on phone and got pics downloaded.

So on Monday I was worried or missed DD so I decided to stop at her work to see her. Well she works at Walmart, so I thought I would run in and grab something. We always need something right. Well driving in parking lot I couldn't think of anything we needed. So I decided to pick up some toiletries.

Did find matching tshirts for us as well.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Lol we also normally get together at my mums and although it is crowded it is very nice to be able to have everyone together - think we are all gathering there tomorrow!

Yay on getting the toiletries sorted. Love the matching shirts!

Was a nice weekend. My oldest ended up home Saturday night. So got to see all three kids this weekend. We are planning to go to his place next friday. But will have to wait and see. I still need some work done to my Jeep before making trip to airport.

 

[momabbate]

Like I said in last update, two youngest kids were home Friday. So did had DD two planning books plus a notepad to make her must do list. I did hide my list so it wouldn’t influence her. Just a side note. On Saturday night my oldest made a surprise trip home. Yeah got to see all three kids in one weekend. Were its nice to have the whole family together. I liked have oldest home alone. Got to talk to him with no one around.

Anyways back to the list. It really is a lot like mine. But these will be the list I bring.

I couldn’t believe her list. This is what she put:

[momabbate]

Ok when my dates changed I never updated my ticker. I want to show a month so once again changed my signature. Now it says 1 month. Yeah its getting so close.

Ok so list is made. After making the list last night I started putting away my laundry. I ended up counting how many Disney shirts I have. I ended up with 15. Out of those I would say I can take 12 for a 7 day trip. The sad thing I only picked up maybe two this summer. The rest have been bought in last three years. I think I need to start buying winter shirts. I have no Disney theme clothes for winter. How many Disney shirts do the rest of you have?
