****OFFICIAL August, 2012 (PART 2)****

[NightAngelX]

I just looked at the forcast for Orlando-it just says high 80's and t-storms everyday, but thats typical. Dont worry though, my Italian ex MIL (who Im still friends w/) is putting her Rosary out on the clothesline-So we're all set

Well that's what I saw too but I have no idea how to read that tropical storm info so I was wondering if I was missing something...I'm down with 80s and fine with rain as long as its not all day.

LUCKY!! I got one more day w/ these crazy people in my office (its true, most of them are certfiably cookoo)and then Sweet Freedom

Same here!!!!!!!

After reading your post, my stomach literally growled thinking of having pizza and wings. I love pizza and wings.

I think I will make chicken wing pizza for dinner so it's like having them both at the same time!

I love chicken wing pizza. My mom is buying the pizza, but making the wings like I do. I baked them instead of frying and get the skin crispy before adding the sauce.

Well only 6 days until we are on the road to WDW. OMG, OMG.

I can only hope we are ready. Thankfully my MIL and FIL are taking the kids monday so DW and I can finish the pack. I have out kitchen table covered in stuff to take. I hope I can remove some of this but right now am very happy we are driving.

[LeeLee'sMom]

Count me in for joining the Returned from Disney support group. We are just over a week left and the excitement is rising

 

[dontthrowsand]

Oh my goodness! I LOVE that bag!

LOVE your purse! Too cute!!!

Thanks

I got it on ebay fairly cheap, There are a few spots on it and some wear but it will be good for the plane. When I'm done, I might look at selling it. I've never used it other than for this trip because I like the size of my coach purse if I need a purse otherwise I always have a school bag with me.

SINGLE DIGIT DANCE

Joining in on the single digit dance





These 9 days need to go quickly. I'm starting to lose it. I'm currently at my office and instead of working, I'm looking at my packing list and trying to decide if I should ship a box down. I can ship UPS for free through my work (as long as it's not abused), so I'm considering sending all the big bulky stuff down, like our fans, waterbottles, DD's swim floatie, etc. I think it could save us at least a carry-on. Guess I better decide soon if I want it to get there by next Friday!

ME TOO!!!!!

So theres this horrible woman in our office who has a cold and due to the fact that she likes to be dramatic-shes hacking all over everything Now, Ive always had a great immune system and am rarely sick, but you know this ladys gonna be the death of me. Luckily, theres also a very sweet woman in the office who just gave me a handful of vitamin C drops, so Im taking them. I should just keep my office door locked so no one can come in and conaminate me I just gotta hold on till tomm at 5pm and then I am free and ,even more important, ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!

OMG I would be carrying around a can of Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer everywhere LOL

No photo confirmation yet but I just saw this posted on the other bounceback thread I'm watching:

"bounceback offer is for free dining for the dates of August 18 - September 28, 2013."

Not exactly what I was hoping for.

I think if we go again next year it will be during star wars weekends or for the holidays.

Oh well....if anyone gets something different or wants to post the picture for this one let us know!

YES!!!! this is what I was hopping for!!!!

Of course!!!! I'll be planning for August 2013, but I want to be part of it!!!

YES me too!!! Going 8/25/13-9/6/13 with both the kiddos!! Free dining would be perfect!!!

You guys! I said it before, and I'll repeat it now -- this is the thread we come back to when we're all sad in September. We'll just change the name of it to "OFFICIAL August, 2012 Support Group for the Recently Returned". Yes?

I will so need that group...going to be lost without my Team August friends! How many of us are going back next August? We'll have to start Team August 2013

Side note...Support Group for the Recently Returned just reminded me of BeetleJuice and the Handbook for the Recently Deceased

The kids want to try a cruise next year (not Disney unless I find a good discount b/c they are $$$ and we were thinking of adding a stop at disney to it so hopefully this is accurate! now how many days??? hmmm.....

[starrPA]

trying this multi quote thing on the iPad app - thanks so much Stan!

This week is the looooooongest!!!!!!!! I am really starting to crave some Tonga Toast.

This is the first trip ever that we have reservations at Kona for breakfast. I'm so looking forward to trying this infamous Tonga toast. LOL

OK my friends.......by popular demand it's the Disney bag rain poncho.......(ignore how I look, focus on the poncho.)

OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.

I'm still debating about doing online check-in. Last year we did do it and I sent a request to CBR 4 days before we left via fax. I did get everything I requested. I'm not sure why I'm debating this trip. I'll probably end up doing it in the end because the ability to do it will haunt me. LoL

I feel the same way! I'm not sure if I want to this because everyone is saying you don't get what you requested but I'm weirded out about not doing it... so I'm really conflicted over it....

There are those who do Disney by the seat of their pants and then there is "us", those of us on the DIS. I kinda like "us"

I like "us" too... I'm too nervous to wing stuff like where we're staying, wondering if we'll get a room, not knowing what's planned for the day etc.

UUUUGGGHHHHHH!!!!! We leave in 5 days and I broke my toe earlier today.

Oh NOOO!

Not only that, but shes touching everything I also have to touch and then she goes ahead makes chili for everyone to eat----Im not touchin that w/ a 10 ft pole

I am convinced there is at least ONE of those in every office! eeeeech.

WE LEAVE TOMORROW

I'm up early to do my 24-hour check in for my flight. This time tomorrow, I'll be anxiously awaiting takeoff! (I don't like to fly, haha.)

Doing the 5 HOUR Dance!!! Whoo hooo AoA here we come!!!

Have magical wonderful trips and safe journeys! It sucks being one of the last out and the waiting is agonizing - but I LOVE the fact that everyone is posting so much! It's making us more psyched every day.

We are going to hopefully do the same thing. (please no flaming here) We have only taken Carnival Cruises not Disney. I will tell you why... They are cheap and still good quality and the kids love camp carnival. Also I like to go to the casino a bit on my cruises and Disney doesn't have them on their ships, which may be fine for others, but not me. That is what the kids have already stated they want for next years summer vacation. I have already checked out some pricing and will do more research after this upcoming vacation...can't wait for next week at this time!!!

We were supposed to do 9 days at the Poly September 2013. My family out voted me and now we are doing a 5 night DCL on the Magic in October 2013. Then we will do a couple of days at WDW after the cruise.

Since I am not getting what I want, I booked a 1 bedroom suite and since it is a double dipper cruise, I am going to book a cabana both days at Castaway Cay.

Oh, did I mention that I hate cruises?!

Ouch, that hurts! Have you tried taping the broken toe to the one next to it? That should help with the discomfort. Hope you feel better soon!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Just checking in! We arrived very early this morning. So early that I almost said we arrived yesterday, as I can't believe it's the same day! MK pretty crowded today. At DTD now. Also seems pretty crowded. Dinner at Raglan Road in a few!

Can't wait to hear about your trip! Have a safe trip home.

 

[netnurse31]

Sounds like an awesome day. I can't wait to walk down Main Street tomorrow night.

I'm so jealous!!! Have fun!!!

I know right in the research I have boon doing a disney cruise is at least double!! craziness, I love disney things but cannot justify spending twice as much!

You'll get no flames from me!
We've cruised several times and LOVE Celebrity. I would say they are a fairly upscale line with luxury amenities and they still don't cost what some of the Disney cruises cost
I can't justify the price tag on a Disney cruise unless I can get a deal and it's an off season sailing. We love Disney but not so much that we're willing to pay out the nose for one of their cruises when we've always had a fabulous experience with Celebrity.

I'm going to need therapy when we return. Hope all of you have some tissues handy. The thought of waiting a whole year to return is depressing but I'm in.

I refuse to start thinking about coming back yet..

12 more days!!!

 

[netnurse31]

please!!!!!
