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

[Victoriasmom98]

Welcome to our new August friends!! Jump right into the conversation.. there's usually 10 different ones going on at once and everything moves fast. It's like a loud obnoxious family reunion around here


So..
15 more sleeps. SO EXCITED

The kids randomly blurt out at least once a day "I want to be at Disney!!!!".
We are a family of certified Disney addicts I tell ya

OOOOHHHHH!!! And I'm the obnoxious cousin everyone seems to talk about!!!

So last night MiL phones to say what a nice relaxing weekend at my house it was...ummm, were we at the same house? i'd probably use a 4 letter word too, but not "nice". anyhow, she then says they want to take the kids to the biergarten on Sunday night (aug 26) so DH & I can have a date night. My first thought was, but that's Akershus night! Then I realized this is fine, one less character meal is ok. Sooo, cancel Akershus for 4 and book Tokyo Ding for 2, where DH really wanted to eat before I went on a character meal rampage with the ADR's, for 7:50pm. My question is, after this long story, is will we be able to see illuminations while dining? If so, WooHoo! If not, then Woohoo, sushi (either way, I'm at WDW, so it's going to be a woohoo moment!)!

Hi All,

This is probably too last minute, but I recently became aware of photopass sharing. Since it's just my Son and I, and I have a camera, I've never really worried about photopass- too expensive for the pic opportunities I could see us using. But I am going back to Disney in October solo, and got in with a few others to share a pass - which makes it much more reasonable. Is there anyone doing this for August? Or would like too?

im considering it, since I'm going solo.

who is setting it up?

 

[LifeIsDis]

This can't be real life. This can't be. But it is. My countdown to Disney started over 200 days ago and now it's only at 1 day. 1 single day. Less than 24 hours from now I will be driving to Walt Disney World with my mom. I'm freaking out. Please excuse me while I go do a happy dance.

What a day! My friends whose son is in the hospital, needed someone to take her to run her errands. So I did that. Her son is still in ICU and they really can't figure things out.

Well my kids were at another neighbors house playing then I get the phone call to come right away. DD had fallen and blood is pouring out of her mouth. Take her to a pediatric urgent care, the Dr found a gash above her front teeth. This doctors husband is a dentist, so she called him to come look at it. Well he ended up having to put 4 stitches in her mouth.

When he was having to numb her mouth, she screamed. I so wanted to tell her right then about the Disney trip in 2 weeks to make her feel better, but I didn't.

In all the things going on, I almost forgot about taking care of my neighbor's 14 year old dog. They had to go out of town because the grandma has leukemia.

When it rains it pours.

I am so thankful overall we are blessed and that I have great friends on the Dis that share my Disney obsession.

Oh what an awful day!!!
I hope your dd is feeling better. I think you were right not to tell her then, because it wouldn't have gotten the response you were hoping for.

Just hold tight..vacation is soon!

OOOOHHHHH!!! And I'm the obnoxious cousin everyone seems to talk about!!!

I am the black sheep in the family that just isn't right and makes many wrong decisions that the rest of them just can't understand but have to love anyway because I have an infectuous personality and make everyone laugh (oh and because we're family and you have to love me!!! )

 

[Houston86]

I knew there was another reason that I liked August besides my WDW trip.

It's my BIRTHDAY today!!!

Happy Birthday

My youngest son asks every day if we can go tomorrow!!! I don't think he even remembers his last trip, can't wait to be there!

I don't know the answer to your Illuminations question, but yay for a date night!

Oh no!!! Hope she feels better soon. Tomorrow will be a better day, I am sure!! Sending up a prayer for your friends' son!

Hi Halloween Baby!

McKinney here! This year we are going a cheaper route, and staying at the Drury Inn. It's only a few minutes away from the parks, and it's a brand new hotel.


I feel strange because all of you guys have been planning your trips for months and months!!

I booked on Saturday, and we leave in 5 sleeps!

I guess it's best to do it that way, since I'm not anxiously counting down the months lol

Jason

We're right down the road from each other! How exciting! I totally think it's fun that you just booked your trip... I'd love to do that sometime... Hope you have a great trip!!

Got my mickey mail (part 2) today!

Can't wait!

I am so glad I waited until now to read this thread... my coworkers would have had a field day at my reaction to this! SO FUNNY!

This can't be real life. This can't be. But it is. My countdown to Disney started over 200 days ago and now it's only at 1 day. 1 single day. Less than 24 hours from now I will be driving to Walt Disney World with my mom. I'm freaking out. Please excuse me while I go do a happy dance.

Have the best time ever!!!

Customized LGMH's available here!!

If anyone wants one just let me know, I can do just about any image for the text background and any name (in any color). They print out to about 9" across but you can usually resize them when you print. Just let me know the name you would like on it and which design you would like.

Mickey and the gang!

Princesses!

Basic Rainbow!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I printed mine at about 4" across and laminated it to put on my lanyard

Hi Seneca! I sent you a PM but don't think you got it! Could you make me one of these?? I'd love the rainbow one!! Thank you so much!!

 

[LifeIsDis]

Have the best time ever!!!

It is mine too! Happy early birthday and enjoy the concert! I am only going out to dinner but still happy to get to celebrate!

 

[dontthrowsand]

On and I should share my latest craft... I made pillows for our red eye flights.

The beige one is lines from Alice in Wonderland and the bubbles one has a few hidden Mickeys in it. Nothing special about the scribbles but I thought it went well with the sketches at AoA where we are staying.

 

[Megs114]

Good morning everyone! More than anything, I hate being up before the sun, except for Disney days!! I'll check in with you guys here and there! Our flight leaves at 6 so my mom is picking us up around 4 and we'll get to the airport around 4:20. Talk to you guys soon!

 

[yourhighwayinthesky]

I'll be there! Leaving the 15th for Universal, then the 16th-20th I'll be at the Coronado Springs, and then 20th-25th at the Boardwalk!!
First time at both of these resorts! So excited!

 

[mrstomrice]

Thursday, already? Of course I am up! I should be sleeping since I am taking the kids to Sesame Place today...need to be prepared I am up and didn't sleep well again....too much on my mind with this trip
The other think on my mind is debating on a quick February trip! I just found out that a local airport will be flying to Orlando on Fridays and Mondays...perfect for a 4 day weekend for my birthday....without kiddos! They have an introductory price and DH and I could fly for $270 total! The hotel would be cheap too....I knew this annual pass would get me in trouble! What to do?

 

[LifeIsDis]

WE LEAVE FOR DISNEY TODAY!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone! More than anything, I hate being up before the sun, except for Disney days!! I'll check in with you guys here and there! Our flight leaves at 6 so my mom is picking us up around 4 and we'll get to the airport around 4:20. Talk to you guys soon!
