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

[KatMark]

So my husband, my darling forgetful man, is asking why in the world I booked a 7:30 am breakfast at Kona...and I not so nicely reminded him that

A. He reminds me all the time he is up at 5am for work so an early breakast is not a big deal

B. This is a short stay and we have to make the most of it

C. Because Kathy and I are in charge of this bad boy and the men have to do what the marriage license says

OBEY OBEY OBEY

His retort?

Yes dear....


Yeah, thats what I'm talking about

To take the words of one of my DIS friends here (mickeystoontown), I'm p...... my pants now.

I love you Toddleduck.

 

[MickeyNicki]

I know right? I was dying too but I cannot let him know that I secretly laugh at him

Your lil sis has lots of plans and I cannot wait! Lets pray for NO rain and limited heat waves!


Cannot wait to go shopping and DaRuMa....we have a new drink for you to try, I forget the name of it but there is Watermelon vodka involved

Ahhh, it makes me so proud to know that I'm known for peeing my pants.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

hope he has a speady recovery and they fix him up good.

have never boughten a mickey balloon wonder how long they stay blown up?

 

[amandaw]

Sounds like a nice last day at MK!

The Plaza is so yummy! And the popcorn will be a nice last snack.

I really like how you give away in remembrance of your dad. Very sweet.

And at least you have more fun to look forward to after Disney.

By the way.....I just saw on FB that a few Disney related blogs are stating that Disney is saying you can start making ADRs for Be Our Guest on August 20th. It will be for dining dates starting on Nov. 19th. Hope y'all can get an ADR!

Oh Kathy, I'm so sorry that your brother is having more health issues. Poor guy. I'll pray that the clots dissolve quickly so they can address his heart more clearly.

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). I saw that Markie hosted the t-shirts for the boy with cancer. What an honest to goodness sweetie pie of a son you have Kathy. Things like that must make you feel like one proud mama.

Oh boy do I love the engagement picture! It is perfect! Markie looks all business wrestling Alisha but she looks so cute and pretty! What a great couple they make and congrats on the new home!

Your Disney plans look superb, breakfast at Kona is always a good idea! It is one of my top 5 breakfast spots. What are you going to get to eat? I usually get the ahem, Big Kahuna and I'm embarrassed to say I can eat almost 2/3 of it myself. Good stuff.

Wow, so you're eating at The Plaza?? Shocking. Almost as shocking as say you and Nicki hitting up every Starbucks in the Orlando/Marco Island area or shopping till your feet fall off.

I've said it before but I do so love your traditional balloon in honor of your sweet dad. Very touching Kathy.

Looking forward to your Sept. trip, looks like you were able to swindle your poor Andy into dinner at Yachtsman for LESS than the party tickets? Nice job! I mean, for crying out loud, you did birth him so I figure he owes ya. I've never done the MVMCP but I have done the MNSSHP and it was awesome!

You're so lucky to have 2 trips coming up! I just might have to sneak into your luggage and tag along!

 

[englishrose47]

First Prayers for your brother !!Glad they found the clots in time. I know another Disser who also gives a Mickey Balloon in memory of her son! It is a great feeling, I once did it for her and I felt sooo good !!! Off to Cape Cod tomorrow , new car is here , will be posting pix next week!!

Well, seems like you've got him trained well Nicki.

Look out, Thelma and Louise are back in control! I know, I know, you ladies have always been in control.

 

[jenseib]

Off to another fabulous destination!!!

 

[eandesmom]

I your balloon tradition!

and I am and Nicki's conversation about the Kona breakfast!

You two are trouble, t r o u b l e I tell ya! But I like it!

Love your balloon tradition, such a sweet thing to do.

Mackie and I are eating at The Plaza this next trip, I've never been there so looking forward to it since you've mentioned how good it is every time you eat there.

We're trying it because of Ms. Kat.

 

[MHTeacher]

I love the way you always buy a balloon to give away as you're leaving the park. It's such a sweet way you remember your dad!

Is it silly that those pumpkins spelling out "See ya real soon" above the exit just make me happy?!?

 

[afwdwfan]

Looks like a great MK day. I still need to get to the Plaza one of these days.

I love your balloon tradition.

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!

 

[KatMark]

I will get to responses later (doing a time sensitive project at work), but had to let you all know that it is possible that this lady will be buying TWO Disney bags in Florida in September. Both trips are paid in full and Mark just won another $800 in Vegas (he got home last night).

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

As the others have said, your balloon tradition is wonderful.

Sounds like a nice, if bittersweet last day at MK. Good thing you still have more vacation awaiting!

Nice score by Mark at Vegas!

 

[FloridaDreaming]

I love the balloon. So sweet of you. And you make a child's day, I'm sure.

2 bags? Love it. I've decided on the retro WDW iPad case next month. But there may be a wristlet snuck in there, too.

Less than a month to go!!!

 

[KatMark]

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).

 

[KatMark]

I know right? I was dying too but I cannot let him know that I secretly laugh at him

Your lil sis has lots of plans and I cannot wait! Lets pray for NO rain and limited heat waves!


Cannot wait to go shopping and DaRuMa....we have a new drink for you to try, I forget the name of it but there is Watermelon vodka involved

We can NEVER let our men know that we secretly laugh at them...they'd never get it.

I can't wait either. NO RAIN and 80's would be perfect.

Shopping! DaRuMa, Starbucks and friends....what more can we ask for.

I'm not a big watermelon/vodka person...you'll have to order and I'll have to take a sip.

Ahhh, it makes me so proud to know that I'm known for peeing my pants.

I knew you'd like that, my friend.

hope he has a speady recovery and they fix him up good.

have never boughten a mickey balloon wonder how long they stay blown up?

Thanks, Dan. He's home now, but he has a lot of things that need to be taken care of. THANKFULLY, he has insurance now.

A couple of days on the balloon would be my guess.

Sounds like a nice last day at MK!

The Plaza is so yummy! And the popcorn will be a nice last snack.

I really like how you give away in remembrance of your dad. Very sweet.

And at least you have more fun to look forward to after Disney.

I always enjoy our last day at the MK (well, not the leaving part). We just kind of relax, soak it all in, fit in a few rides and talk about the good time we had.

Going to Marco these last couple of years has really made it easier to leave Disney. We go from one thing we love to people we love with all our hearts.

Yes, Nicki has a note to start dialing at 12:00 sharp on the 20th. Andy has told her to STEP IT UP and GET IT DONE!

Oh Kathy, I'm so sorry that your brother is having more health issues. Poor guy. I'll pray that the clots dissolve quickly so they can address his heart more clearly.

Hi, my friend...I was afraid we lost you again. Thanks for the prayers for my brother.

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). I saw that Markie hosted the t-shirts for the boy with cancer. What an honest to goodness sweetie pie of a son you have Kathy. Things like that must make you feel like one proud mama.

Please don't apologize for skimming...it's quite alright. I am so very proud of Markie and I tell him every chance I get.

Oh boy do I love the engagement picture! It is perfect! Markie looks all business wrestling Alisha but she looks so cute and pretty! What a great couple they make and congrats on the new home!

I love that she is smiling in the picture and he's got that "face." Too funny.

Your Disney plans look superb, breakfast at Kona is always a good idea! It is one of my top 5 breakfast spots. What are you going to get to eat? I usually get the ahem, Big Kahuna and I'm embarrassed to say I can eat almost 2/3 of it myself. Good stuff.

I'm probably going with an omelet or just plain pancakes (I don't like bananas so the french toast is out and I'm not a big "eggs" person unless it is an omelet. I think Mark is getting the Big Kahuna this trip.

Wow, so you're eating at The Plaza?? Shocking. Almost as shocking as say you and Nicki hitting up every Starbucks in the Orlando/Marco Island area or shopping till your feet fall off.

Shocking, isn't it?

I've said it before but I do so love your traditional balloon in honor of your sweet dad. Very touching Kathy.

Thank you.

Yachtsman will be in December...that's the special 60th birthday dinner. I liked MNSSHP the first time, not so much the second. But it will be fun to do with Des as she is a Disney freak too and looking forward to doing the parks the way "we do them" as opposed to how her family does them.

You're so lucky to have 2 trips coming up! I just might have to sneak into your luggage and tag along!

You would be more than welcome to sneak in my luggage at any time, my dear.

First Prayers for your brother !!Glad they found the clots in time. I know another Disser who also gives a Mickey Balloon in memory of her son! It is a great feeling, I once did it for her and I felt sooo good !!! Off to Cape Cod tomorrow , new car is here , will be posting pix next week!!

Thanks, Rosie. I missed your send off. But hope you arrived at Cape Cod safely. I look forward to hearing all about it.

 

[KatMark]

Well, seems like you've got him trained well Nicki.

Look out, Thelma and Louise are back in control! I know, I know, you ladies have always been in control.

I forget from two years ago...which one of us was Thelma and which was Louise?

Off to another fabulous destination!!!

Thanks, Jen...love Marco.

I your balloon tradition!

and I am and Nicki's conversation about the Kona breakfast!

Cynthia, thank you. Nicki cracks me up and she is exactly as she appears in her posts.

You two are trouble, t r o u b l e I tell ya! But I like it!

Love your balloon tradition, such a sweet thing to do.

Mackie and I are eating at The Plaza this next trip, I've never been there so looking forward to it since you've mentioned how good it is every time you eat there.

We're trying it because of Ms. Kat.

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.

I love the way you always buy a balloon to give away as you're leaving the park. It's such a sweet way you remember your dad!

Is it silly that those pumpkins spelling out "See ya real soon" above the exit just make me happy?!?

Thanks, Michelle. I often worry people will think me odd, but in the end it brings a smile to a child and that is what my dad liked to do.

I love those pumpkins...they make me realize although I am leaving, I will be back.

Looks like a great MK day. I still need to get to the Plaza one of these days.

I love your balloon tradition.

Thanks, Andy. I think it will be a perfect last day.

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!

Sure...go ahead and ignore my stimulating PTR to laugh at Nicki and her husband. You just gave me an idea. NICKI, we need t-shirts like that for our trip in December.

As the others have said, your balloon tradition is wonderful.

Sounds like a nice, if bittersweet last day at MK. Good thing you still have more vacation awaiting!

Nice score by Mark at Vegas!

Thanks, Mark. I enjoy remembering my dad in this fashion. A whole additional week in Florida is a great way to make it a little easier to leave Disney.

Mark never wins at the casino and has now won twice. Perhaps we should try a third time in Florida?

I love the balloon. So sweet of you. And you make a child's day, I'm sure.

2 bags? Love it. I've decided on the retro WDW iPad case next month. But there may be a wristlet snuck in there, too.

Less than a month to go!!!

Thank you.

I saw that retro IPad case...very nice. I have a wristlet and LOVE it.

29 days tomorrow for us.
