[Native NYer]

I love your t-shirts. What a great way to resusitate a dying white tank.

TRAVEL DOCS

If you try Nine Dragons, I'm hoping you write a review. We're thinking about it for the next trip.

 

[Sarilas]

Okay, I'm here and I'm reading!

1. Great cast of characters, but of course. I cannot wait to hear more about everyone!

2. I'm sorry your feelings had been hurt early on; lord knows nobody loves Cap'n Jack like you do!

3. Food & Wine fest AND MNSSHP? YES PLEASE!

4. I totally get your reasoning behind Pop Century, et al. Nothing feels so good as being in the parks knowing everything is already paid for up front. Relaxing x's 10!

5. I'm glad you didn't totally cave on your wishes for ADR's and such. Pirate.

6. I have to agree about a lack of reservation the first day. Having that one day to indulge in pure freedom can set the rhythm for the whole weekend.

7. Curious to hear if you got park hoppers!

8. You're totally right. It's not always about the food. Sometimes it's about a dark, cool place to chill out with a burger and a milkshake and r-e-l-a-x. Smart thinking.

9. And then you waiver.

10. I totally get the ADR commitment issue problem. As you will read in time...

11. Delicious looking ADR's!

12. Holy-costume-planning-dilemma, batman!

13. Hoping you got the answers to your questions... (On an aside, we enjoyed the Y&Y counter service- on the dining plan! It was like getting take out Chinese with a better view than my own back porch could offer.)

14. I never could get psyched up for Coral Reef; it sounds like a restaurant we have here called The Aquarium!

15. Good for you! You only live once and yada yada yada. And heck yeah it's okay to put two kids in one room; have I mentioned how many kids I have?

16. Oh I miss planning binders and making ADR's... sick, isn't it?

17. To live IS an awfully big adventure!

18. Have I mentioned that I get to live with my very own No Way Jose?

19. Hurray for saving money on ressies!

20. Home indecisions and fiscal responsibility... This makes me sad. You CAN have it all you know, TK!

21. I see Disney Crocs! I can't get over how much cuter they are with Mickey head cut outs all over them.

22. MAN do I have a love-hate relationship with Southwest after our trip...

23. Your FIL sounds like such a sweet guy. And who could turn down a margarita, anytime (anywhere)!

24. Did you purchase airfare or didn't you?... hmmm...

25. I love your list of things you wait for!

26. I love your pirate and pumpkin collection! Where you are of all things pirate, I am more of all things Jack Skellington... sigh.

27. Oooh, do you change to a moderate due to no more slushy coke machines? TURMOIL!

28. I love the look of Pop! It looks like a blast for kids. (Yeah, for kids... that's the ticket...)

29. Wow, they really did drop the price of your tickets!

30. Lots of planning still to do; it seems like it's never ending, even up until the last days in the parks!

31. Making up my mind on ADR's was not one of my strong points. Too many options!

32. I was wondering when the shoe hunt would begin! It's not a TK report without a shoe hunt!

33. Cute binder, and LOVE Nana's hat!

34. You want to go back to school to teach! Wait till you find out what I've been doing the past few months...

35. Cute purchases! And a $3 Mickey purse? Kind of mandatory, don't you think?

36. I can't wait to hear how your t-shirt craftiness goes!

37. Batman, Peter Pan, Wall E... ACK!

38. Bag indecision! I can't wait to find out which one you went with!

39. Isn't it terrible that once we make a life-changing decision we can no longer sit idly by and subject ourselves to what was once the norm? Darn you, conscious mind!

40. Bummer about the Vera bag!

41. Oh, the Baggalini! I bought an animal print one and LOVED IT. It carried everything I needed for all six of us, plus a place for my cell phone, KTTW card, etc. Heart it.

42. Headless shots and tie dye Mickey shirts? YES!

43. Oh this new ADR system is scaring me. ACK!

44. The tie dye shirts are really adorable, TK. So creative! (Dye scares me too!)

45. Oooh! Tacking on an extra couple of days for the TK clan?!

46. Wonderful change in plans! That little bit of time away fromt he pack as a whole can make such a big difference.

47. LOVE the PTR rundown!

48. BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY! Knock me over with a freakin' feather!

49. "And my daughter will be turning 30..." God love mothers.

50. I wonder which bag you'll go with; the Baggalini didn't bother my back at all over our 10 days. In fact the ability to lengthen and shorten the strap was a huge convenience for finding comfort.

51. Awe, DS getting his own monogrammed backpack...

52. Cute purchases!!!

53. A new family member! When my son was little I got him a blue and red Beta which he promptly named Downtown, because that's where we bought him from. One day Downtown apparently wanted to watch television with Kyle. On the couch. I won't go into detail.

54. Upward mobility in your arms...

55. Oooh, new car decisions! We've had a bit of angst in that as well. And bought a Honda!

56. Down payment on the rewards Visa! Smart girl!

57. She's beautiful!

58. The new Mickey Tie Dyes are awesome! The Mickey heads are so well defined!

59. When in doubt, always go for the season passes, right?

60. "Donald with the pictures in the air!"

61. Cute bag! I love love love, blue.

62. Oooh, a change in plan and direction...

63. You are getting SO close!

64. Seriously, the new tie dye shirts are fabulous! You're doing such an amazing job.

And I am officially caught up!

 

[jmamom]

Love the t shirts! Can you believe its less than a month now? How great that your little guy eats so many different foods - mine are sooo picky (well 2 out of 3 are, the littlest is pretty good). Chinese food always sounds good to me! Hope you get to enjoy some at the World!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

I forgot I subscribed to this thread months ago after I finished reading A Pirates Life for Three, and I recently rediscovered it. My family and I planned a little last minute trip to the world over a week ago, and we're here now. (I'm actually waiting for everyone to wake up so we can head back to MK for some EMH!) But I just wanted to tell you, TK, that this PTR really got me in the disney spirit. Last week I stayed up till 4 in the morning reading all of the chapters. haha. I just wanted to tell you that you have such a wonderful writing style that really keeps my attention. I love your PTRs and your TRs

Also, I was at Animal Kingdom yesterday and I saw someone with a Lime Green (I think) and Turquoise tie-dye mickey shirt on in the park! I don't know if you made it for them or they made it themselves the same way, but I was excited to connect the internet Disney to the real disney! haha

I love your report so far! I can't wait to see how the rest of it unfolds

 

[If U Had Wings]

Woo Hoo for the arrival of travel documents! So exciting!!

As long as you don't mind doing laundry go for it on your vacation. I could never do it because I equate doing laundry to having a root canal. Seriously, I put it off normally until a complete lack of undies makes me do laundry. I've even run out and bought more just so that I don't have to do laundry. Whatever makes your life easiest is great!

 

[All7OfUs]

Hiya!

Those orange and black(?) tie-dyes turned out great!!! Very, very cool!

Laundry on Vacay?? Yeah, at least once. More room for souvenirs, less mess upon return, Are you taking a laptop? You could always use the time to download pictures from the camera. Or read a good book, or give DS a little nappie poo, or?? Might be worth it?

 

[TarzansKat]

For Travel docs....hopefully that means my ME luggage tags will be here this week.

I can't wait to hear how you like Magical Express. This is your first time using it, right?

I love your t-shirts. What a great way to resusitate a dying white tank.

Seriously! I got a cool new tank and felt thrifty.

If you try Nine Dragons, I'm hoping you write a review. We're thinking about it for the next trip.

I'll definitely review it for you. I'm going to try to review most of the places we eat, but I don't know if I'll be whipping out the camera for food art at every stop. We'll see.

Okay, I'm here and I'm reading![

Good lord, woman! You commented on everything!
God bless you!!!!

And I am officially caught up!

Thank you so much for reading and commenting on all of it! It's funny to see how your comments progress as my chapters did, and I changed my mind. It's like reliving the ptr through you!

I can't believe it's less than a month. I am so dang excited about it, but now I feel like I really have a ton left to do.

My DS is pretty good about food. There are some things that he'll flat out refuse, but this is a kid who will happily eat a plate of steamed broccoli for dinner. I am very, very lucky.

Of course, that's not to say that he won't be asking me for a treat from every dang cart we pass in the World, but hey, one step at a time.

YAY for being in the World right now!!!!

I am touched! Thank you so much for your heartfelt compliments. To know that I put someone else in the Disney spirit, well, that just makes my day. I'm so glad you've enjoyed my writing.

Also, I was at Animal Kingdom yesterday and I saw someone with a Lime Green (I think) and Turquoise tie-dye mickey shirt on in the park! I don't know if you made it for them or they made it themselves the same way, but I was excited to connect the internet Disney to the real disney! haha

Actually, this is going to sound like quite a sin here, but I haven't made a lime green tie dye yet...well, close to lime green but not quite. So it probably wasn't me, but isn't it neat when the internet Disney and real Disney connect like that?

I love your report so far! I can't wait to see how the rest of it unfolds

Thanks!

I don't mind doing laundry. What I despise, is having to put it away. On vacation, that's easier, because it's so much less laundry and so few places for it to go. Ah, the simple life.

Hiya!

Those orange and black(?) tie-dyes turned out great!!! Very, very cool!

Thank you! I think my DH definitely needs one.

Laundry on Vacay?? Yeah, at least once. More room for souvenirs, less mess upon return, Are you taking a laptop? You could always use the time to download pictures from the camera. Or read a good book, or give DS a little nappie poo, or?? Might be worth it?

I never even thought about the more room for souvenirs thing until you all started mentioning it. It holds a lot of merit, that's for dang sure.

Although in my case, it's more like, more room for the snack credits I want to use up at the end of the trip.

I always bring a book with my on vacay, so I'm envisioning some nice sit and read time by the pool. Hopefully with a generous rum libation to keep me pirated up.

 

[MRYPPNS]

I've used ME twice before. The reason we didn't use it last trip is because I wanted to use a rental car instead of the buses for Liam....which did work out very well. I like ME. Simple and easy....the way to start a vaca!

 

[MegansMom]

Sounds like a lot is going on with the TK clan too!!!! OH SO MUCH TO DO!!!

Good to know!

My to do list is starting to scare me a little. I think I'm going to have to start foisting some of it onto my husband.

 

[maroo]

Thank you for reading my rant about laundry. Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't unsubscribed.

I did unsubscribe!

Let me explain... for those of you guys with an iPhone...does this happen to you??

I use my iPhone to get on TR's... and I usually press 'Last Page' to get to the most recent page. But right under 'Last Page' is the unsubscribe button...so if my fingers hit the wrong thing........ Horrible things happen! I actually UNSUBSCRIBED from your report! I was wondering why you weren't updating!

So, anyway, I can tell that DS is just loving his food and having such a good time.

And I looked at my husband and said, "DH?"

And he looked at me and said, "Nine Dragons?"

We're so sympatico.

DH responds to "DH"....

Sorry...couldn't resist!

 

[TarzansKat]

I did unsubscribe!

Hot holy carp, I can't believe it!

Oh, well...now that you explain yourself.

I do however feel, you may need to make this up to me.

Perhaps taking copious pictures of the good captain when you're visiting the Magic Kingdom and posting them immediately upon your return home would soothe my fragile ego.

DH responds to "DH"....

Sorry...couldn't resist!

Well, no!

I called him ______, you know. His name.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I love love love the Halloween shirts! They are perfect. Also the colors on the shirt in your siggie are GORGEOUS! I love them.

 

[TarzansKat]

I love love love the Halloween shirts! They are perfect.

Thank you so much!

Also the colors on the shirt in your siggie are GORGEOUS! I love them.

I'm rather partial to that one! I liked it so much, I decided to keep it for myself. Lucky it was my size!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

for getting your travel documents!! I can't believe you'll be there in just a few weeks!! I love the new shirts!! I love the way your son's mickey came out on the shirt. I think you should keep it just the way it is!! Oh and if you can try to do the tye dye outside in stuff that doesn't matter if it gets dyed! I tye dyed with some of the kids at the daycare I used to work at and we went outside and it was definitely less mess!! We also put down a garbage bag to try and keep the mess contained as well. I hope that helps at all! Ugh I hate doing laundry but if dbf and I go again then we'll probably do it at least once during the vacation.

Thanks for the tips! We actually ended up doing it inside on our tile floor in the kitchen, so that worked out great. We also put DS in one of my DH's shirts, and OMG was that ever so cute. I mean, the shirt came down to his ankles, it was so big.

He actually decided to just make a spiral, not a Mickey head this time, but it came out really good. I'm quite proud of him.

Ooo that was a good idea. yeah we didn't have any tile in the daycare so outside was our best bet! Oh that must have been too cute! You must post a pic of his shirt!

I wasn't sure if you guys would want to see it because it doesn't have a Mickey head, but I'll be happy to post it since you're interested! I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Of course we want to see it! How silly of you to think otherwise!
