[MickeyNicki]

MOLLY! We have missed you babe!

And poor Marv, we give him such a hard time, he deserves it, but thats besides the point

Psss....nothing but love for you Marvie-Poo!

 

[MickeyNicki]

I think the boys should get Goofy hats and we should get Minnie or Princess Christmas hats because we are Princesses!

MY DEAR...WE ARE QUEENS! Well I may be a bit evil Queen on some days, you know when my hubby changes my dining plans...but I digress

 

[KatMark]

good call on changing your days around Kathy happy you got an early ADR for cape may!





oh you need to go classy with the xmas tree hats, I know Mark will love those

Thanks, Lisa. I'm much happier with these plans.

MOLLY! We have missed you babe!

Psss....nothing but love for you Marvie-Poo!

Well said, sis!

Yes, we are Queens. Queen of Hearts hats?

I really, really like your changes! The Cape May time is much better & it will indeed be better to not be in DTD on a Saturday night!

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Hey! Congrats on your Cape May ressie! I got a 5:15 for the 18th and am stoked! Can't wait to stuff my face there. ♥ I'll need a crane to carry me out when I am finished, though.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Great changes Kathy, I think this will work better for you and DTD will be much less busy on a Wednesday

 

[jenseib]

Great changes. That sounds like it will work better for you!

Then we will take the boat to DTD so we can go to Guest Relations and get our annual passes and the TIW card.

Are you just going to DTD for this?? Because they have a great Guest Relations right at the International Gateway at Epcot. If you are going up to Beach Club anyway...it might be better to just stroll up there to take care of business. Not sure if it is inside the Epcot gates or outside though, so if you need your passes first it might not work.

I think it will work out better for us too with the crowds at DTD.

That's funny that we were there on the 19th, the night after you, and now on the 15th. I can't wait to have those crab legs.

I remember last year we went to DTD on Saturday night and it was crazy busy...don't want to do that again.

Great changes. That sounds like it will work better for you!

Thanks, Jen; I think so too.

Good question; if it were outside, we could take care of it there. But if it is inside that won't work because I have to buy the AP's to get the TIW card and I want that TIW card for our dinner at Cape May as it is rather pricey.

Thanks for the welcome home sweet friend. Geez, now I'm going to cry again! Hold on, let me think of something to stop the tears...I know, Marv in a speedo! Tears are dried up now, whew.

Hmmm that STOPS the tears?????

Guest services outside gate at IG. Usually not really crowded but I have always seen at least one or two people out there. I believe when you walk over one side of ticket booths are for tickets and the other side is for Guest services or you can just take care of those things at either booth.

Glad you were able to get your arrival ADR's and plans adjusted. Always good to be flexible, but you hate to start with a plan that doesn't seem ideal at the start.

I was all set to do replies and an update when I was rudely interrupted by one of my assignments for a rush project. IF I get it done before I leave today, I'll do an update, otherwise I'll do it tonight. I can't to it tomorrow because tomorrow is our Milwaukee Zoo day and then lunch with Barry and his family.

In the meantime, I got the email from the Disney store. And, I bought a couple of new shirts -- one for Mark and two for me:

Mark's:

Mine for the September trip:

And one for the December trip (it's thermal in case I need it):

I also found a new dress for me to wear for the wedding. Alisha has decided she does NOT want me to wear a short dress, but a long one. I was looking last night and I found a dress I fell in love with it (it is my favorite color too). I'm waiting to see if she likes it and, if so, I'll call the store and make sure they have it there when we go dress shopping on the 18th. Hopefully it looks as good on. Here's a link (I can't save the photo for some reason):

Can't wait!

 

[dizneeat]

Wow! That is one beautiful dress! I hope Alisha agrees on it too, as I am sure it would look lovely on you!

Kathy, please be sure I DO read each and every post, but I am a bit busy myself with finishing last years trip report AND my pre-trip report before we leave for WDW next Saturday, so I seldom get around to posting.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Gorgeous dress Kathy, I love it!!

 

[MickeyNicki]

Have a great time this weekend!

The dress..holy moly woman you are gonna ROCK that dress! I love love love love it and I bet Alisha will too

The Disney shirts are great, dont forget we are gonna hit the two Disney stores here in a very short time, maybe the Xmas stuff will be out early and we can pick up something cute.

For Mark's B-day Shirt we should put

"I turned 60 and all my wife got me was a Surprise Trip to Disney, our BFF's to tag along and oh yeah...this lousy Tee Shirt!"

Has a nice ring to it huh?

 

[amandaw]

Hope y'all have a great weekend! I'm sure the DIS meet up will be lots of fun!

I love the shirts you bought....especially the Dumbo one! So cute!

And that dress is very pretty! Such a nice color, too!

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Did some skimming here and I think your plans thus far look great!

I love love love the dress for the wedding! It's gorgeous and you'll most likely steal the show wearing it, it will look fabulous on you Kathy. The color is so beautiful too. I read also that Markie and Alisha are considering June 2013 now? So exciting! I'm telling you, they make you some beautiful grandbabies.

Enjoy your time with Barry and family at the zoo! How fun. Maybe you could make him do a test run and see what his real time is? I have a feeling he may be fibbing to make poor Timmy look bad for the marathon training.

You are right.

I think we'll just do DTD; we might be able to catch lunch at EOS and then go swim before our dinner at Cape May.

Glad you were able to get your arrival ADR's and plans adjusted. Always good to be flexible, but you hate to start with a plan that doesn't seem ideal at the start.

I think it will work out much better this way. I'll tell your buddy hi for you tomorrow.

Can't wait! :gooddvibes

US TOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! That is one beautiful dress! I hope Alisha agrees on it too, as I am sure it would look lovely on you!

Kathy, please be sure I DO read each and every post, but I am a bit busy myself with finishing last years trip report AND my pre-trip report before we leave for WDW next Saturday, so I seldom get around to posting.

Thanks, Karin. Alisha said YES...she loves the dress so I'm calling Monday to ask them to be sure to have it in the store in two weeks.

I understand...no worries (as you know I read yours but don't always post either).

Gorgeous dress Kathy, I love it!!

Thanks, Michelle.
