[longing2Batdisney]

Hey! Leanne
checking in...taking a slow rainy day to try and catch up on all that I have fallen behind on...
you guys should be getting excited to be hitting the road in a few days...sending you for a smooth and uneventful ride down to the magic...
can't wait to hear what you guys think about it during the summer months...

Your trip is soooo close!! Hope you get ur requests at SSR!! That was a fun night!!

 

[bouncycat]

YAAAY time to go back so soon!! LOL It's nice having trips so close, be safe driving, and keep us posted on how things go!

Ooops sorry for the confusion...glad you like ToT. Why don't you like Star Tours? It's lame in comparison.

hahaha...well, if I'm being completely honest I have never even tried it. I am kind of afraid of motion simlators. We did this one at Universal (it was Jimmy Neutron so I thought it wouldn't be so bad...) and it was kind of crazy! I didn't get sick but I just didn't really like it. Maybe I should just suck it up and try Star Tours.

Only 2 days until your trip!!! I hope you take lots of pictures of SSR. The closer we get to our trip the more excited I am about going back there.

Wanted to say hi! Have been lurking for awhile now. Great TR. Love AKL kidani. We were able to stay in a 1 bdr for 3 nights in April. So nice! Definitely makes me want to join DVC. Hmmm, how to talk hubby into that?

My dd Chloe is tiny like Josie. She keeps saying her fav ride was ToT. On Disney channel they keep talking about a new drop sequence and she can't wait to go back to try it out. Guess it is good to have kids who are brave?

Enjoy your upcoming trip! What a perfect place for Lindsey to celebrate her birthday!!

Hi Connie! We are getting pretty excited about our upcoming trip. We are under 2 days at this point!

I hope it's not too bad down there but mentally I'm prepared for extreme heat and HUGE crowds.

Thanks for the pixie dust girl!

It was fun hanging out. I'm still bummed that we won't meet back up in September but we have next October 2011 right?

Your pics at DL were too cute. Looks like you all had a lot of fun. I'm super excited to get back to WDW this weekend. Post-Disney Depression isn't near as bad when you have a trip in the works.

Thanks Christie! I plan to do FB updates. Thanks for the well wishes on the driving.

How funny Sarah! I will take lots of pics and will be sure to share. I hope to do a mega update tonight and close out the trip from May. We are heading out Friday morning so tomorrow night is going to be busy.

Hi Ashley! Welcome to my TR!

If it helps with the DVC sale...I showed DH what we've spent on rooms the last 4 years and that convinced him that DVC is the way to go. He was reluctant at first but once he ran the numbers he was sold.

We watched that same commercial on Disney Channel last night and Josie said "Look Momma it's my favorite!". I am so glad that I have kids that want to experience new things and love the thrill of it.

I can't wait to get back to WDW. It's going to be so fun. The 10th is our first day and our anniversary so we will be sharing the fun with Lindsey for one day. Then the rest of the trip is all about her. She is . It's fun to be able to do it with her.

So much to do so little time....

Got the photopass CD's in the mail yesterday so I need to upload those. I need to finish packing and I need to finish up this TR for the May trip. I still have 3.5 days to cover. I hope to do a MEGA update tonight. I know tomorrow night is going to be crazy so I need to get it done tonight if I have a shot at it.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

A mega update?? I'd better get my work done so I can enjoy it! Can't wait to see your fav photopass pics

I'm sorry I have been MIA so much lately . I have been thinking about you and how excited you must be . Ya'll have a safe trip and think about all your poor depressed Dis buddies who are at home missing Disney and the Mouse .......lol........... I know you are going to have a blast, stay cool.

 

[Charlefours]

The whole family is coming but they are used to DIS meets so they wouldn't mind to meet up at all. We will be driving and looks like we are staying at the Hampton in Auburn Hills at least the night of the wedding. I really hope we can meet up. I'm excited about the possibility as well!

Woo Hoo!! Can't wait!! We'll have to make a trip to Auburn Hills. We can also hit Great Lakes Crossing and the only Disney Store around here anymore (actually, it's an outlet!) EXCITING!!

Oooooh that sounds awesome! I am having serious Disney Store withdrawals now that both of ours are gone. I can't wait!!

First off, I cannot believe you are already off again in two days!!

I just realized we may be OOT that weekend but I may see if I can shift to the following weekend. I don't want to miss the DIS meet.

Meeting up at the Disney Store Outlet in Auburn Hills sounds like a great idea to me too. Any idea of what day would be best for you all?

 

[bouncycat]

mega update??? WHOA MOMMA!!! Looking forward to that one!!! And the photopass pictures!

 

[MissLiz]

Can't wait for a mega update! WooHoo!

So, what dates are you going in Sept? We just booked a quick trip for Sept this past weekend. DH's mom wanted to take his Grandma somewhere for her 80th birthday and WDW is what was decided, so we are heading down for a long weekend at Poly.

We've already told Isabella that she has to do Space Mountain again. She hated it in May, but since the deal was that the next time we went, she'd have to do ToT and we aren't planning to go to Hollywood Studios in Sept, then she'd have to do that. We are eeeevil parents.

I'm having trouble with photobucket at the moment so I'm only going to get an update up for Wednesday....I've tried three times to get the pics from Days 6-8 uploaded and it just craps out on me...photobucket keeps dying...

I do have a complete update on Day 5 coming up though!

No worries Dana! I've been MIA myself. You guys are always in my thoughts though. I'll never be able to go on a Safari again and not think of you, Mary and your families.

We will try our best to stay cool. The plan is to tour the parks early morning, head back at lunch, go back in the evening after dinner. Hopefully that will help our comfort level!

I'm really excited to start our road trip to Disney tomorrow morning! Being at work is killing me.

I will be in MI the evening of the 6th, the wedding starts at 5:00pm on the 7th and we will head back the afternoon of the 8th. School starts Aug. 2 so I have to have the girls back home at a decent time so they can get to school on Monday.

Anytime works for me before 3pm on the 7th though. You guys just let me know.

It's not so mega anymore...stupid photobucket won't cooperate. It is a full day as of now though.
