Oh the Pressure to do a PTR -- We're Home & Surprise Video up on Facebook

[annmarieda]

I just would never imagined that you would go to the Plaza! Love that you have a tradition. I wish I could settle on some... but I never can.

Responses coming soon, I promise.

But I just had to share that I had a message from a very dear friend here on the DIS, TarzansKat, who has decided to do a solo trip. She wanted to know our dates if we would be there at the same time. It turns out she departs the day after we get there (she leaves on Sunday, the 16th). I asked her where she was hanging on Saturday when we get there and she said Epcot. So I asked her if she'd like to join Mark and I for dinner at Cape May and she said YES! I am so excited to meet this very sweet woman. I couldn't get us all at 5:10, but they had a 5:35 opening and I grabbed it. I am so looking forward to this.

I have to throw a load of laundry in and eat some dinner and then will come back with responses (I got a late start because my brother came home from the hospital and I had to take him for his prescriptions).

I am SO jealous! Please give Kat a huge hug from me!!!! I saw her last minute trip and wished it was less last minute so our dates would overlap.

Which reminds me that I need to pack the tie dye shirt she made for me a few years back for my trip...it's in Halloween colors!

 

[amandaw]

Woo Hoo! for Mark winning big in Vegas!!

And that's great that you get a DIS meet on your trip as well!

 

[shan23877]

YAY MARK!!!

And yay for a DIS dinner! Sounds like this is shaping up to be a fantastic trip!

 

[Poolrat]

Glad your brother is feeling better. Yes In this case the heart problem did save his life.

Love all the plans. Am I just now realizing that I will be there at the same time as you???
oct 13 - 20. ( I added a day on either end but they are travel days mostly.)

 

[SoonerGirl]

I love your last day tradition, gives me the warm fuzzies

I wonder if you and Nicki will be visiting any Starbucks locations while you are in Marco

Guess we are in a rut at The Plaza.

The food is good comfort food after all the heavy meals we eat all week.

Cynthia, I will be sure to give Kat a hug for you. I am so excited to meet her.

Sounds like a great shirt...don't forget it.

Woo Hoo! for Mark winning big in Vegas!!

And that's great that you get a DIS meet on your trip as well!

Mark did very good. The kids are coming in tonight and we're going to take them to PF Chang's for dinner with some of the winnings.

I can't wait to meet Kat.

YAY MARK!!!

And yay for a DIS dinner! Sounds like this is shaping up to be a fantastic trip!

Mark did awesome twice in a row...so unusual for him.

I just wish these 29 days (or 17-1/2 days of work) would hurry up.

Glad your brother is feeling better. Yes In this case the heart problem did save his life.

Thanks, Pat. Thankfully...now if they could do something for the heart.

No, you are looking at the wrong month, my dear. I so wish we were meeting you. We are there September 15 - 21, not October.

I love your last day tradition, gives me the warm fuzzies

I wonder if you and Nicki will be visiting any Starbucks locations while you are in Marco

Thanks, Michelle...it gives me the warm fuzzies too.

Starbucks? What's that?

 

[MickeyNicki]

OK Kathy - I know that I am supposed to be commenting on YOUR update, but this is so freakin' funny I had to LOL! OBEY OBEY OBEY. I may need to get a T-shirt that says this.

And Nicky - I just noticed that you will probably be at the world when we are planning a DIS meet for 10/18 @ 1:30pm Rose & Crown. Hope you will join us!

Kathy - have a great weekend!

Hi Mary Ellen!

I think all wives should have that tee-shirt!

I wish we would meet you but we are not arriving in WDW until 5pm-ish on the 18th...who amd I kidding, Todd will most likely get out late and we will be lucky to make our 8pm dinner at Kona

 

[MickeyNicki]

So yesterday I took the day off to spend with Todd and we had a great call from the Blond Bombshell to let me know that as of noon on Monday I can make the BOG reservation....well honey I will be dialing at 11:45 am and I dont care if I am on hold forever, I have to answer to Andy after all

Later that day we went to Starbucks and sat inside to chill and Todd says

"Whats the matter with you, looking all sad"

Me - Starbucks isnt the same without Kathy

Todd - Let me guess...she makes it taste better?

Me - Well yeah...she does

Todd - Relax, you too crazies will be back together in no time, spending my money and drinking too much coffee

Me - Not soon enough

Todd - Well I miss them too you know, its nice hugging a woman that is my height for a change

Me - Ditto! I love a short man so I dont have to stand on my tippy toes!

See...we are the perfect foursome! Todd and Blondie are the same height and Romeo and I are the same height...PERFECTION~

I just saw today that now Disney is saying they will open ressies at 7am on Monday, so you better get on the phone at 6:45am

Thanks Michelle! I planned on calling early thinking the Fall room discounts were going to be released anyways. Now I need to do double duty that early in the am!

I have got to STOP reading your posts until AFTER I've made a stop at the ladies room. I had to literally run to the restroom after reading this post.

You tell Todd that I will give him as many hugs as he wants when we are in Marco in 36 days.

And I agree...Starbucks just tastes better when we're together. Love you.

Hope you enjoy Cape May. I am looking forward to it myself. I'll be giving them a run for their money on those crab legs.

OMG, I LOVE LOVE the wedding dress! She will be absolutely stunning in it. Good luck with your dress hunting this weekend. And score on the casino winnings! You are awfully lucky with winning money. Have a great time spending it!

 

[Millie12591]

Us trouble? Whatever could you be talking about? Watch out Disney when we are both there....it may never be the same.

You and Mackie will LOVE The Plaza. Be sure to get the french fries. The.best.french.fries.in ALL of Disney.

Oh I think you know exactly what I mean.
I'm curious to see how Disney turns out to be after you two have been there. Every time Mackenzie, Maroo, Pat and I see something askew we'll know it was you two.

Thanks, Michelle. I often worry people will think me odd.

.....I don't think that's the reason they think you to be odd. Sorry Ms. Kat, I couldn't resist.

29 days tomorrow for us.

Too cute for words!

 

[TarzansKat]

Can I sneak in and post?

I'm the one having a meal with Kathy and her lovely husband at Cape May and I couldn't be more excited!

Kathy, I cannot wait to meet you both!

I hope you had oodles of fun dress shopping, too.

 

[pinkxray]

Every time I read about the Plaza on your PTRs I try to squeeze it in my trips. One of these days we'll get there.

Have a great weekend with the kids

 

[disneyfan61]

Hi Kathy. Glad to hear your brother is doing better.

Not sure if you heard but on allearsnet they have the menu posted for BOG. I checked it out yesterday.

That is so nice that you buy a balloon & give it to a child in memory of your dad. I love doing something like giving extra FP's (at least when you could use them after the time allowed).

Have a great weekend. Sounds like a busy one for you.

 

[Poolrat]

I did a bit more skimming (please don't judge me, I'm really not lazy, just short on time and I pretty much assumed 97.8% of the chatter involved Marv so I know I'm not missing much).

Too funny 3PP.

Todd - Well I miss them too you know, its nice hugging a woman that is my height for a change

Me - Ditto! I love a short man so I dont have to stand on my tippy toes!

Taken out of context this almost sounds naughty.

 

[Poolrat]

No, you are looking at the wrong month, my dear. I so wish we were meeting you. We are there September 15 - 21, not October.

Somehow I knew that but I was hoping for a chance to meet up.

Dress shopping update please.
