ME!!! We're planning to attend on DS's 15th bday. Well when I say "WE" I really mean "I". When I talk to my DH about it he just shakes his head, tells me I'm crazy and that I'm smoking some really good stuff.

All is good here. I still need to make another ADR schedule to include Be our Guest, just in case it is open at the 180+ day out. I finished my Statistics class. I ended up with a B b/c I wasn't able to finish the extra credit since my blood pressure was up. Oh well, a B is certianly better than a sharp stick in the eye. It's been too long since I've been on. I am taking 2 classes this session, and I usually only take one. I took a Sci-Fi class b/c I thought it would be easy and fun. Who knew Sci-Fi could be so serious.

Me!!!!! I think.

We've gone to Disney several times around the holidays, but have never gone. This time we are thinking of going! Our kids will be 8, 6 and 4. Are they ok ages or do you think they are still young?

Me too!


Regarding the pool--We went at the beginning of this month and attempted the pool at Pop once and FROZE. lol. But, we had almost no other time to swim that whole week so we aren't even thinking about bringing swim suits next time.

I am knee deep in customer orders this week. And, of course, more orders keep coming in. But every dollar earned is a dollar for Disney. I'm contemplating taking my small business to the next level so that might mean more work for me, but a quicker jump to paying off our trip.

 

[Happy Mom2]

Good Morning All!!!!! Well alot non-disney stuff has been going on with getting my truck fixed, my basement fixed, I wont bore you with details but I HOPE it all gets fixed soon. I cant wait to leave soon for disney. I havent recieved anything like mickey mail yet...I hope soon!

Hope everything is ok, and gets fixed soon! I'm sure your Mickey mail is on its way!!

That is very promising I am hoping that the week I go bring lower crowds thus we get our ADRs. Booking six months in advance is normally key and when we do, we get what we want.

I am trying so hard not to get so excited since its sooooo far away!

It's ok... get excited!! I am!!

So, I havent mentioned to DH about a DW trip next year (to soon from the last--hard to believe that a month ago today we were enjoying our first full day at disney) and yes, it does seem like forever ago.
I'm secretly planning for next year for MVMCP. Like all of you, I'm hoping for FD for November. We had that our last trip and it was nice not to have to worry about forking out that kind of money for a meal ($95 for Akershus breakfast..) and DH was able to give a nice tip! DH said that if I want to go again then it's got to be a time when we can still swim in the pool and not freeze when we get out. Last month on the week we went it was unseasonably hot ..high 90's all week! So, for you seasoned WDW travellers, what week in November would be the less crowded with swimming temps?

I started planning our 2012 trip without telling DH. Eventually, he agreed!

There are no guarantees for swimming weather in November in the south, but the earlier in November the better your chances. It's been in the 80's most of this week and by tomorrow night it's supposed to be down in the 30's. It's probably a little warmer in Orlando right now.

My kids were 2 (almost 3) and 5 when we went last year, and they loved it. We took a long (4 hours) mid day break, and went back to MK @ 4pm. The only characters we wanted to see were the Fairies b/c we hadn't seen them. Other than that, we rode rides, watched the castle light up in icicles, rode more rides during the 1st parade, watched the fireworks, then watched the 2nd parade, then went to a few shops while the park emptied. It was incredible!! Loved it!! It was the perfect way to end our 1st trip to Disney.

Me too!

I hope you get your mail soon. So fun to receive!

Don't try AT ALL not to get excited. Excitement is GOOD!

Good Morning all!! One more day down before we are all closer to the happiest place on earth!



I am too, I'm already dreaming about it.

So how probable at the 180 mark is it to get all your adrs for a thanksgiving week? I don't want my hopes to get up too much!

Not sure about at the 180 mark, but keep checking back all the time if you don't get everything you want. Things open up/get canceled ALL THE TIME. Do NOT lose hope!

LOL! I count down all the time even after we return: "2 weeks ago today, we were in Epcot", etc. I'm a NUT!

A "B" is nothing to sneeze at. Good for you! I'm afraid a sci-fi class would put me to sleep! I hope you're enjoying it.

Sounds like so much fun. Leaving Disney is always SOOOO hard.

So today right before we were done working, one of the girls I work with said "oh, I have something in my car for you!" Woo-hooo! It was a LOVELY cotton Mickey blanket. I LOOOOOOVE it! Made my day!

I sew and crochet. Mostly things for kids. October through mid-November are my busy hat sales times and then we get into holiday presents with a few dresses and custom embroidery orders mixed in. Right now I'm finishing three vampire capes, one wipeable arts and crafts apron, one Ravens (nfl) jumper and two turkey corduroy dresses. After that comes 18 "Mickey Head" silhouette shirts for a customer's family reunion trip in December and two crocheted Owl hats. I'm online now shopping for fabric for my girls' christmas dresses so I can squeeze that in somehow. If you are on facebook or etsy, search for Kung Fu Cupcake and you'll find me.


We are getting snow this weekend... I'd love to fool myself into thinking the snow will make it feel like winter is coming through so time goes a little faster to get to our trip, but sadly that is never the case. Going to make for some cold trick or treating. So glad I did the MNSSHP this year so we could at least enjoy some fair weathered Halloween fun.

 

[Happy Mom2]

@SMLounsbury - I love your stuff! I just learned to crochet a couple months ago. I can only do the single stitch and have only crocheted 3 scarves... unless you include a scarf Barbie made!

 

[jenandjuice]

Soooo...today I decided to just look at Disney cruises completely out of curiousity...and I couldn't believe it! Next year the Magic will sail out of Galveston (about 5 hrs from us).

We have been discussing getting married end of Sept then doing a quick Vegas honeymoon then disney with kiddo for thanksgiving week.


But now it looks like we could be able to afford the Disney cruise as our honeymoon for just a little more than Vegas would've been and we can still go Thanksgiving week to the world.


I'm beyond thrilled right now, of course nothing's booked yet, and the boy's gotta propose before we can book the honeymoon. But disney twice in 2 months!?!?! I am so freaking excited and had to share with someone!

The BF is a huge disney fan too, but he doesn't get giddy and daydreamy like I do

Oh, your stuff is lovely! I, of course, especially love the Disney items. You are very talented. Yuck on the snow. We don't miss that at all. It snowed in Buffalo yesterday, BTW, according to our relatives. Not enough to stick, but enough to let you know it's snowing. It's supposed to be quite cool here on Halloween. And DD's being a bumblebee. Oh, dear......

If it makes you feel better, you can crochet a WHOLE lot more than I can!

Oh, YAYYYYYY! That sounds wonderful. I've never been to Las Vegas, but I KNOW a Disney Cruise will be better. that "the boy's gotta propose" first! He needs to get a move on it. I'm glad you chose us to share your news with. Yeah, my DH is a huge Disney fan, too, but he does sometimes think I take it a little over the top. That's OK. His life is more Disney magic-al because of it!

LOL! I started when I was 8 or 9 years old and designed exclusively for my Barbies. I had the attention span of a fly. Now, I can do much more, but love to stick to hats or stuffed animals because they are relatively quick. 45 minutes gets me a decent sized hat.

I looked at your stuff...its so cute yea im not too thrilled about the snow cuz u know the ppl around here go crazy at any mention of snow Let alone any accumilation! Its funny sometimes. Any way, Hope everyone is having a great day! I started calorie and exercise cycling (eat more than usually and exercise a little less then eat a little less the next day and exercise a little more) It seems to be working! I dropped almost 2 pounds since Sunday! Well TOM didnt help I suppose

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I just booked a Holiday sleigh ride for our last night. I hope DH likes it. I think itll be nice.

 

[autismgoesdisney]

Hey, does anyone know when flights will go on sale for November of 2012? I assume around May? I hear they are cheaper when they first go on sale? Last year we drove, couldn't afford the flight prices!

That is AWESOME! I know people on Weight Watchers that have done something similar with points. Eat a lot of points one day, not as much the next and have had good results.

I am LOVING Visalus! The shakes are sooooo good!

 

[SMLounsbury]

There definitely has to be merit to that weight loss technique. There are some days that I eat ridiculously and still lose weight, but days I don't eat much and gain weight. I really need motivation to get to the gym. I have jeans I bought this summer that I want to get into without fear of bursting a seam.

I had this pair of jeans taht I wore last October. I loved them. When I got put on that steriod medicine that made me eat so %&^%#$ much (pardon my language I am still that the dr didnt tell me that it contained steriods)ANywho, I gained about 50 pounds, I couldnt even pull them up over my thighs! I was about 1 month or so into my weight loss, I tried them on, they pulled up but couldnt button. Last month, I could button them but they didnt look good at all I couldnt go out in public like that lol BUT I put them on last night and they looked soooooo good! I am so happy!!! I had another little victory last night-well 2 lol. The first one was I got hit on 2x DH didnt like it but I was the second, Halloween candy...Im just gonna say that last year, I would have eaten alot but this year, I have bought a bag of mini tootsi pops(17cals a piece) I love them! I also bought kit kats and have had a couple snackk size ones but whos counting those lol

I got my ME stuff in the mail Had to call them back because they left DH off of the ressie!!!! They are mailing me new tags and a new book but everything is fixed now only 32 days!

If you are doing the dining plan I'm pretty sure that T-rex and Rainforest are not on the list. If you are not, then just ignore me!
