What strikes me as interesting is all the people who are counting today as a "work" day and yet are posting on the DIS. hmmmmm curious and curiouser. I too am "working" , albeit at home. As a crafter I work outside the home primarily on Saturdays, sooooo going along with our new game, only 8 Work Days left!!! par-tay

LOL...........heck, i think i tend to check the DIS more often at work than i do at home. At home, i try and make my family my priority and only get online after my son goes to bed, and i find often times after he goes to bed, so do I! so work it is- easier to check at work. except it has been really busy lately. here I am at work in Seattle on a business trip- yep, on the DIS! I love you guys, what can i say?

No fair I don't work so my countdown is all I got!! But its down to 65 days I think so thats good. I finished the kids countdown calander today. Turned out ok definatly not my best work. But I couldn't find a few things I needed to do it so I ended up winging it LOL.

Now to work on the tye dye shirts that should be interesting.

Hey - just because you don't 'work' doesn't mean you don't work, especially if you have kids.

i like this work day countdown though......let's see- minus the 2 days off for thanksgiving, i have 33 work days left!!! woo hoo!

Confession time...

How many times have you gone to the ADR site to see if it is back up and running???

Zero for me...

lol- i haven't yet, but i did check right before it went down to see about adding a princess meal, couldn't find anything to fit in our schedule though (now that we are bringing my niece).

For my fellow DVC members DVC news has posted the Merry Mixer dates

We love going to this!! The kids last year got to Dance with Pluto. They got the coolest rice krispy treats too. Plus DH was able to snag all the DVC pins. We got lucky this year and don't need to change our plans to go to one!

We will be there Dec 23rd!

I saw this, we might attempt to head over for the Dec 9th one. It is from 3-5pm? what all goes on? is it really worth going? we will have a 10yo niece with us and my 2yo son. they'd love to see some characters. and hey, i love free stuff plus anything DVC!

Ooh I like this idea! Off to count my days again!

 

[KellyWasHere]

Me too ... I have 34 more days of work. Oh yeah! And 51 days total. Saving all my vacation days for December, and I we don't get many holidays, the only one between now and my trip is Thanksgiving.

 

[Tink Mick Koda Miles]

44 days of work for me! Would be a lot less if i didnt work on stinky sats...

Well I guess I will make this my first post on DIS. We are going to WDW in December for our Disneymoon! I am SUPER excited and have been planning since February! I have been to WDW when I was about 3 or 4 and don't remember anything! DH has NEVER been and his birthday is Dec 20..so for him it will be... Disneymoon, Birthday, AND FIRST TIME! I am so excited for him to go! He keeps telling me it's too far ahead to get excited but yesterday when I went to log on to my Disney site, it said welcome BRYCE! lol So he has to be excited or why else does he need to make a Disney account! lol I have so much planned but I don't have the times planned to a T. I want to explore also and if I do everything I want, I won't have a reason to come back!

We actually didn't plan on taking any honeymoon because we didn't have any money for it but then we bought a house and had a few other tax claims so we got a good amount of money back from taxes! This is also exciting for us because we will be TTC so we can have a Disney baby!

I can't say this enough.....I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED! I had to come to a place where I know no one will complain about me talking about Disney ALL THE TIME!

I think it is. Last year they had a DJ who was playing games with the kids. Pluto came out and was actually dancing with the kids. It was so cute. Then they had photopass people taking pics and they had Chip and Dale and then Minnie and Mickey came out and they were all in there Christmas clothes. Deevee and some other weird DVC character were there. They gave out free rice krispy treats, juice, and when you left each family got a nice DVC ornament. They also sold the DVC pins and they had a preview of whats coming out soon.

My kids had a blast last year. We were only there for about an hour and most of that was waiting for DH to get out of the pin line. Best part was no one annoyed you to buy more points!!!

Vacation is now officially PAID IN FULL! Still feels like a bit of a dream, I can't believe we will be there in just 49 days! I have so much to do before then!

I'm not sure if the online system is up and running. I phoned in and paid for ours - no wait at all, I was able to speak with a CM immediately.

i had a good time- wish i had more time to spend exploring. had some chicken corn chowder at some little shop (I don't care for seafood, lol), so all the cool little shops and markets and then found a H&M- woo hoo! we don't have them in Dallas. what's a hum bao? i must have missed them!

woo hoo- welcome to the obsession! congrats on your upcoming nuptials! oh don't worry, you won't be able to see and do it all, so you will have an excuse to come back no matter what. I worked there for almost 4 months and still never saw it all. You will have a fabulous time!

sounds worth it to me for sure. at least to just drop by. had to check our 'schedule' and i have Epcot planned that morning anyways with lunch at Chefs at 12:30. We have MVMCP that night too, so i had planned to break by 2 in the room for a bit, but i guess we can hang around until 3, run in and out and then break and just head to MK a little later for the party. DS will need a nap for the party.
