okay so i got bored a few days ago and figured I'd pack whatever I don't need before the trip but will definitely need in WDW aka princess costumes for the kidlets,then my 9 yr old asked if she was allowed to pack her own bag,so i said sure but I'd need to check it over just to be safe and voila ...............

( packed by a 7 n 9 yr old,yup it's full of as many squished up Disney stuffies as they could fit!!!)
and here's todays facebook profile pic..........

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
I decorated a bunch of pages in my trip journal tonight,with the help of some itty bitty hands,and I decided that when I do my actual TR,I'm going to interview the girls here and there so that I get their input aswell.At this point the anticipation is almost un bearable and I think I've watched every Disney you tube video known to mankind.

lol thanks,that bag is coming as a carry on so they'll be entertained,can't wait to see what mousekeeping does with all those critters!!! Oh yes the Disney music,live365 is my bestfriend these days(althoughI'm currently in a lovers quarrel with the site for taking one of my fave stations and making it V.I.P UGH!!!! )i was running out of ideas to keep me occupied so today in the midst of my boredom I traced Squirt from Nemo into my trip journal and coloured him (sssshhh hubby doesn't know that took precedence over the sink of dishes eeeek,he will however be happy to know that they are now all washed and put away)

Omg they realised this morning that they forgot to pack swim suits ,so since they didn't want to mess with the bag of stuffies because you know theres no negotiating that!!The youngest one decided to unpack my under clothes,so she could pack every swimsuit they own ( which is quite a few considering i bought a heap of em when they went on clearance in bigger sizes to put away) I gave her a funny look and she said i dont need those articles of clothing because we're going to animal Kingdom and animals don't wear them.I just about died laughing.

Well yesterday i met woith the travel agent to go pick up my Disney packet and today i did my online check-in,I'm excited and with only 10 days to go I can hardly believe it's almost here!!!!the only thing i'm not keen on is that I couldn't add a room request when doing online check in so I called disney but because it was booked through an agent they couldn't help me,which is icky because they wouldn't help with DME either and I had to go online and ask people on another site what i could do since i could not get ahold of my travel agent for 2 months REDICULOUS!!!!I have learned that 10 years of being a good customer means nothing and I will no longer be using her services(for more reasons which are not listed here)Anyways everyone please cross your fingers for me that I can make my request upon arrival and get a ground floor room PLEASE!!!!!

So exciting!!

I'm having a hard time with my trip having booked through a TA too. I'll never do it again, for so many reasons! My next Disney trip will be booked by me through Disney!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you! And since I might miss it, happy send off!

OMG grrrrrr kinda annoyed but whatevs........so a few days ago i told my mom about the fastpass plus testing and to check her e-mail to see if we were selected(knowing if we were we'd have to be on our A game to get certain selections) she wouldn't check it and of course we were selected so she calls me to make our selections and of course the parade is booked up and unavailable AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH anyways we pick a bunch of stuff together,she changes it later and just tells me today UGH!!!!so I asked her earlier in the day if I could look at it myself because she was confused and not understanding it therefore not properly explaining it,so then she calls me a bit later n starts reading stuff off in a confused mess again(it took everything in me to bite my tongue again,you have to know her to understand ,that and she has been driving me nuts for a few weeks now making me seriously re-think ever doing this again with her $ we haven't even gone yet)So finally she gives me the info and theres only 1 thing on the list that i actually wanted to do so i told her i was changing it and finally got some things that my kids wanna do.
Let me just say that in 2005,I learned I would never again travel with her n my sister at the same time,I'm now learning that my mom is okay to travel with if my husband or her husband are there but without them is not such a good idea,so with 9 days left please wish me luck because if it goes anything like the last few weeks have I'm in for a real treat!!!
You may wonder why I'm still going through it ,well everything was great until about mid july but by then it was too late to look my kids in the face and tell them we weren't going,besides i need a vacation more than ever after losing my dad and dealing with way too much drama from half siblings on that side. if thats not enough I've had multiple other stresses aswell which i don't wish to get into but anyways the bottom line is I know now that I never again plan things this way.WE are going and we are hoping for the best and regardless of what happens I refuse top let her rain on my parade!!!Wish me luck.

Okay so um I just wanna say...........

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
thankyou that is all
