I can only say that you are obviously more secure with your masculinity than my DH
Crocs would really be a stretch for him

heck, my dh won't even wear sandals. LOL...

They're Disney Pirates of the Caribbean Crocs. Does that make it better (or worse)???

This is all I could find on short notice:

Look, I'm smoking a cigar and drinking beer. That sort of negates the Crocs, right? Right?????????????????

Definitely a manly man pic!

Awesome! I'm telling you I don't have a prob with men in crocs -
but my DH - would never, ever put them on
I tell you I'm limited to what color shirt I can buy him - there are only about 3 colors that he'll consider masculine enough for him - I think he might need some therapy but too late I already spent that money on Disney

I found my DH and DSs St Louis Card. crocs. Only reason he will wear them. Then my mother went out and bought him a jibbit to put on them. The utter embarassment! But he loves my mom and wears it anyway!

All CBR dwellers;
we are using Wed., July 22nd as our play at the pool day. I'll try and decorate our stroller so that we can be recognized. I don't have any pictures of all us I can post. I'm the one behind the camera usually.

Ok... maybe... just maybe.. I'm taking too much stuff. (you don't even want to know how many moving trucks it took to get us INTO this house) We've got 4 Costco Skyway rolling divided duffle suitcases, plus a Mary Poppins bag. Disney overnight bag, LLBean Hammock with frame. I will executively remove the folding picnic table from the list since only me and the 2 kids will fit at it. I'm bringing the drying rack again, 3 laptops (mine, DH's and DD21's), 1 lap desk, 1 large cooler and 1 playmate cooler for picnics by the pool, large thermos, stroller, sleeping bag for DD7 (its Hannah Montana), I'll executively remove the inflatable toddler bed, I usually have 3 Disney and 1 DVC boat tote bags filled with toys and accessories, I have so far, 4 paper grocery bags and 1 case of sun chips. 2 folding chairs, gotta bring a case of water, my clipboard opens to hold maps, directions, confirmation papers and a pocket knife. I'm bringing the crock pot, snow cone maker and ice tea maker, (removed the blender), oh.. and I have a large nylon grocery bag from Market Day that I fill and I have my old Tupperware kit bag that I fill with any linens such as beach towels, neat sheet and table cloth for picnic table. I'll bring ziploc storage containers for leftovers, paper goods etc.. but those all should fit in the canvas totes. Did I forget anything?

Remember.. I'll be the mini-van with the Thule on top

 

[Mindy5767]

By the way, my DVC Desktop count down widget says 11 days. Since we're arriving on the 12th, and today is the 30th, I'd say its about a day off. My DIS counter says 1 week and 5 days, which is 12 days... so that one is correct.

• Okay I need to STOP changing my ADRs!!! I dumped Chef Mickey on the 13th for Whispering Canyon Cafe at 5:30. Then I added LeCellier at 2:40 for lunch on the 16th which I guess I was lucky to get - I hope I can get dinner at that time. And for the biggest news I was able to get the wishes dessert buffet on the 16th too at 9p. I figure after eating at LC at 2:40 we may not be hungry until 9 - so dessert for dinner! What a way to wrap up our trip!! I have not told the kids yet about Wishes - it will be a suprise!! OMG only 10 days to go - I have not packed a thing!
  
  On a sad note, I have not been on the board recently, I very very very unexpectedly lost my mom on the 14th. I am in such a funk/depression, etc. I hope I can enjoy Disney. I feel bad going, but I am sure she would want me to take the kids.... Sorry to be a downer on what should be such a happy time.

  Oh.. I'm so sorry to hear that!! I'm sure that her spirit will be with you on your trip. I know it'll be hard. When my mom died 10 years ago.. we wondered if there would ever be happiness again. But there is. Once you're in the Disney bubble, and you're seeing the little ones enjoy the parks, you'll smile and feel your mom's arms around you. and happiness will be among you!
