Oh, Just A Few GALLONS of Pixie Dust! - A July/August 2012 TR

[marDgreen88]

WELL HEY THERE!

I bet you thought this was going to be a trip update, didn't you?



...



OKAY WHATEVER, enough with the small talk!

This update is to inform you that I, Marissa, will be going to















































WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Um, yeah. What? I'm honestly still in shock right now. It hasn't fully sunken in yet, I don't think.

This trip has been up in the air for MONTHS. I mean, months. You especially know this if you are following me on Twitter (mardgreen88), but yeah, it officially became official TONIGHT. And I could not be more ecstatic!

I get to go back HOME!





This announcement could not have come at a better time, considering the fact that the only thing left in this TR is one update and the wrap-up!

As I did last time, I'm going to keep this thread going as a little extended PTR. I won't be posting that often, but I'd like it to still be going when I start my next trip report! If you don't feel like sticking around, that's totally fine. I just hope you find me when I start the new TR!

FOR NOW?

I will tell you this:

I'll be at Disney from May 28 until June 4. That's all I'm going to say right now!

(Let me know if you'll be there then, by the way!)

So...

Where will I be staying? Who else will be there? Any other questions?

You'll find out...




EVENTUALLY!!!!




In the meantime, I would love for yall to guess where I'm staying. You know how I love guessing games.



SO YEAH.



DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Continued in Next PTR Update​

Yippee! It may have been up in the air but it's probably a lot nicer knowing you're going so soon than having to wait months. LOL. But maybe not. Anyway, YAY! I saw all your excited tweets.

 

[shan23877]

Yay! I'm so glad that you have a return trip to plan! I thought you'd been hinting at one

You know I'll stick around, after all you originated the Guess my ADR Game!

 

[kgoodb00]

yay! I am so happy that you get to go home! With spring breaks rolling around and seriously everyone I know is heading to Disney, I am soooo thankful that I have a trip planned! I am going to guess that you are staying at......POFQ! I can't wait to see if I am right or completely wrong lol! Have fun planning everything out. I can't wait to see what all you have planned!!!

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

Hooray! And "only" two months away! I'm so happy for you...soon you'll no longer have to avoid NFL photos! You can bet I'll be sticking around!

 

[jdd]

Yay - you must be so excited to be heading back! And so soon - that's great

My guess for your resort is AoA (probably because I have that resort on the brain - just booked the first part of our stay there for August )

Looking forward to another stellar trip report

 

[momof4minnies]

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I'm so excited for you. If you haven't nailed down dates, we will be there June 9-14 for DD sweet 16. She finds you absolutely adorable and said she would love to do Disney with you. What a cute birthday surprise that would be, hmmm? Okay enough with being selfish.

Your TR is the only one I read, and with great enjoyment. I'm glad we will get to live thru another vacation with you.

 

[rachel09985]

Lol that is sooo funny that your dad was that guy!! What did they make fun of him for?? In ours, that guy was wearing a wolf shirt!! Lol!!

So who are you going to WDW with??? Or is that news coming a bit later? I bet you are staying at AoA!

 

[mermaid764]

AHHHHHH So excited for you right now!

I had a feeling a trip was in the works for you, but had no clue it was going to be so soon!

I can't wait to hear all about it

 

[danimaroo]

Okay, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! But you know that already! You know I love guessing games, too! But this one is really tough...

I'm thinking you're staying at either Art of Animation or... ugh, I can't decide if you're going to go the deluxe route! I'm going to guess... Animal Kingdom Lodge! Baaahhh now I just want to know! Hahaha.

YAY FOR ANOTHER TRIP!!!

 

[jecskc]

YAY for another Disney trip !!! We go in 2 weeks and I can't wait to stay at BLT !!

 

[emmysmommy]

How EXCITING!!! That is so soon too. Well, sooner than me so I think of it as soon.

I'm totally going to start guessing now! You will go and stay at BLT (theme park view) and dine at Crystal Palace to see your pal Piglet!!! Ok, I'll wait until the proper time but I'm super glad for you.

 

[__disneygirl]

I'm so happy May is working out for so many of us! You will be there just after I leave. I'll warm the place up for ya!

 

[Nermel9]

YAY!!!! So happy you're trip is finally definite, I know it was up in the air for a while!

I'm going to guess part of your trip will be spent at AKL, just because you keep telling me how much you want to stay there! Can't wait to hear more details!

I'm SO jealous! I really want to go in May!!! BUT I just have to keep telling myself, if I go in May, my trip at the end of the year will have to be shortened and I'll be stuck in a mod! Not that there's anything wrong with a mod, but I want to be immersed in Christmas on this trip, and I need to be in a deluxe to get that feeling! SO NO MAY trip for me! Bahhhhh! It's just so hard to stay away!!!

 

[cutejellybeen]

Thats so exciting!!!! I am super excited for you!! I'm trying to convince hubby that we magically have money and vacation time to go back in the next 18 months... Its not going well for me, but I'm looking forward to reading about you getting ready to go!!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Yay for your upcoming trip!!!! How exciting!!!!!

 

[zhazhazsu]

I just read all your updates! You are the best trip reporter! So fun & positive & full of life! I can honestly say your family seems awesome & your bro is adorable! No one deserves that gallon of pixie dust as much as you guys! Thanks for entertaining me!

 

[marDgreen88]

Yippee! It may have been up in the air but it's probably a lot nicer knowing you're going so soon than having to wait months. LOL. But maybe not. Anyway, YAY! I saw all your excited tweets.

Yay! Yeah, I'm glad that it's so soon! I mean, either way it will be about 10 months in between trips, but at least I've already gone through 7 and 1/2 of them!

Hahah yeah, I could not stop with the excited tweets! I had to share immediately!

Yay! I'm so glad that you have a return trip to plan! I thought you'd been hinting at one.

You know I'll stick around, after all you originated the Guess my ADR Game!

Was I that obvious? I was trying not to be hinting too much in case it didn't happen! You're just too smart for me I guess!

Hahah, yes, that's true! I think this game will have to be a little bit different... but still fun! Thanks!

yay! I am so happy that you get to go home! With spring breaks rolling around and seriously everyone I know is heading to Disney, I am soooo thankful that I have a trip planned! I am going to guess that you are staying at......POFQ! I can't wait to see if I am right or completely wrong lol! Have fun planning everything out. I can't wait to see what all you have planned!!!

Thank you so much! Oh, I know! SO many people are going soon and if I wasn't going to be able to go on this trip, I just have NO CLUE when I would get to go. I'd be so sad! Your trip is only a little bit after mine! Too bad I'll miss you!

Thanks for guessing! I can't wait to share.

Hooray! And "only" two months away! I'm so happy for you...soon you'll no longer have to avoid NFL photos! You can bet I'll be sticking around!

HOORAY!!! Hahah yes, I'm glad it is "only" about two now, compared to the 7 and 1/2 it's been so far! WOO!

OMG, YES. That is one of the best parts of this! I honestly didn't know how long I could hang in there before I'd have to cave. BUT WHAT'S TWO MORE MONTHS?!?! WOOO!!! Thanks!

Yay - you must be so excited to be heading back! And so soon - that's great.

My guess for your resort is AoA (probably because I have that resort on the brain - just booked the first part of our stay there for August.)

Looking forward to another stellar trip report.

I am!!! SO SO SO excited!!!

Thanks for guessing! Ooh, that will be awesome! Are you staying in a family suite or a Mermaid room? Either way, awesome!

Aww, thank you! I'm glad to know you'll be there!

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I'm so excited for you. If you haven't nailed down dates, we will be there June 9-14 for DD sweet 16. She finds you absolutely adorable and said she would love to do Disney with you. What a cute birthday surprise that would be, hmmm? Okay enough with being selfish.

Your TR is the only one I read, and with great enjoyment. I'm glad we will get to live thru another vacation with you.

YAY!!! Thank you! Oh man... I am JUST going to miss yall! That is such a bummer, seriously. I really would love to meet you both. Yeah, there are certain things happening around that time I have to be around for... my brother possibly graduating from high school, for one! But anyways, one of these days I would seriously love to meet you both. Yall are the sweetest!

Wow, thank you so much. I'm so glad to know that you'll be around for the next one! Although I'll probably start it when YOU'RE in Disney!

Lol that is sooo funny that your dad was that guy!! What did they make fun of him for?? In ours, that guy was wearing a wolf shirt!! Lol!!

So who are you going to WDW with??? Or is that news coming a bit later? I bet you are staying at AoA!

It was hilarious! I honestly don't even know if it was a specific thing! I think at first I was a little nervous for him, so maybe I wasn't paying attention? But it ended up being awesome. I'm sure it was something silly!

It's not really a big secret, I just haven't said on here yet! I think I mentioned it on twitter but I honestly can't remember haha! But yeah! There will be a TON of Disers down there at the same time, too! And thanks for guessing!

AHHHHHH So excited for you right now!

I had a feeling a trip was in the works for you, but had no clue it was going to be so soon!

I can't wait to hear all about it.

Aww thank you!!!

Did you? Hahha I guess I'm not so good at being subtle! Although nothing was official until Friday night! YAY.

Yay! I can't wait to go on it! Bahah.

Okay, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! But you know that already! You know I love guessing games, too! But this one is really tough...

I'm thinking you're staying at either Art of Animation or... ugh, I can't decide if you're going to go the deluxe route! I'm going to guess... Animal Kingdom Lodge! Baaahhh now I just want to know! Hahaha.

YAY FOR ANOTHER TRIP!!!

Hahah, I DO know that already! Thanks!!! Haha, I am messing with yall so hard. It's actually really fun. I apologize.

Thanks for guessing! I promise, you'll know... sometime... before the TR starts!

WOOOOO!!!!!!!

YAY for another Disney trip !!! We go in 2 weeks and I can't wait to stay at BLT !!

I'm so excited! Yall will love BLT. I'm gonna miss it so much on my next trip! But I'm also excited about where I'm staying!

How EXCITING!!!That is so soon too. Well, sooner than me so I think of it as soon.

I'm totally going to start guessing now! You will go and stay at BLT (theme park view) and dine at Crystal Palace to see your pal Piglet!!! Ok, I'll wait until the proper time but I'm super glad for you.

RIGHT? Oh my gosh, I'm going crazy with excitement over here! Haha, it is soon! I mean, sooner than... next year or something.

Hahah you're awesome! Unfortunately BLT will not be happening this time around... I just can't afford it, even with the awesome room discounts. It's okay though, I know I'll stay there again someday. And I'm very excited about where I'm staying too! Hahaha, YES, I have to see Piglet!!! I must find a way! Don't even worry about it, I love your early guesses! Thank you!

I'm so happy May is working out for so many of us! You will be there just after I leave. I'll warm the place up for ya!

Oh, I know! It's actually INSANE how many people are going in May. It's funny how we always miss each other! After reading the end of your December TR, I figured out that we had to pass each other because you left the same day I arrived, and the first thing I saw at MK was the parade! BUT ANYWAYS, yay for May trips!

YAY!!!! So happy you're trip is finally definite, I know it was up in the air for a while!

I'm going to guess part of your trip will be spent at AKL, just because you keep telling me how much you want to stay there! Can't wait to hear more details!

I'm SO jealous! I really want to go in May!!! BUT I just have to keep telling myself, if I go in May, my trip at the end of the year will have to be shortened and I'll be stuck in a mod! Not that there's anything wrong with a mod, but I want to be immersed in Christmas on this trip, and I need to be in a deluxe to get that feeling! SO NO MAY trip for me! Bahhhhh! It's just so hard to stay away!!!

I know, it really was! It's such a relief for it to FINALLY be real. Thank you!

Thank you for guessing! Yeah, I pretty much want to stay EVERYWHERE. You'll see!

I know, I wanted you to come too! But yeah, I totally get that! You do what you have to do! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Thats so exciting!!!! I am super excited for you!! I'm trying to convince hubby that we magically have money and vacation time to go back in the next 18 months... Its not going well for me, but I'm looking forward to reading about you getting ready to go!!

I know! Aww thank you! Oh man, I hope you will find a way to be able to go! Being away from Disney just... shouldn't be allowed. I'll be crossing my fingers for you! Thank you though, I'm looking forward to sharing a few things about the trip soon!

Yay for your upcoming trip!!!! How exciting!!!!!

YAYYY thanks! I cannot wait!

I just read all your updates! You are the best trip reporter! So fun & positive & full of life! I can honestly say your family seems awesome & your bro is adorable! No one deserves that gallon of pixie dust as much as you guys! Thanks for entertaining me!

Wow, what a huge compliment! Thank you SO much! You're too sweet! Seriously, thank you so much for saying such sweet things about me and my family. We really had a magical trip and that pixie dust made it that much better! Thank you for reading and again, for leaving such a nice comment!

[Are you staying in a family suite or a Mermaid room? Either way, awesome!

Long story, but DH can't take off a whole week of work, so the boys and I are heading down two days ahead of him. I figured since there's just the four of us, we could do a standard room (and save some $$$!).

However, my boys are not thrilled with a Little Mermaid room To quote my oldest "people will judge us". I have visions of us sneaking into the room at night, hiding behind giant icons, and only coming out in the manly Lion King section....so, if I can save up the cash (and possibly get a discount ) we may be moving to a suite.

 

[MeMom]

This update is to inform you that I, Marissa, will be going to


WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'll be at Disney from May 28 until June 4. That's all I'm going to say right now!




DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

I'm always up for a or a for a new trip!

OH MY If you haven't nailed down dates, we will be there June 9-14 for DD sweet 16. She finds you absolutely adorable and said she would love to do Disney with you. What a cute birthday surprise that would be, hmmm?

Or go on the original date and extend all the way through June 14. Now that would be an awesome trip! My longest stay has been 13 days, it was wonderful......and I would have been fine with it being even a few days longer.
