Our 2nd Trip to Disney! Did it Measure Up? (w/pics) **THE END**

I have seen u on other threads so I figured I would come over and see your pre tr. u have a great report going. Looking forward to hearing about the trip. I think u go 1/19 - 1/26. we will be there the same time. Looking forward to hearing about it.

:welcome: Scott! So exciting to have another new reader :) And one that will be there at the same time! I'll have to check your PTR out as well (although I still have MANY pages of Jordan's to get through ;)). Y'all aren't helping with my New Year's Resolution to stay off the puter more!! :lmao:
 
I said I wouldn't post many (if any) pictures of myself in this PTR. And you all were grateful ;) But, I keep throwin' 'em attcha! Well, not really. You've only seen two pictures of me, I believe, and both were quite a few years old.

The other night I went out with friends (it was a wild night, let me tell ya!)

Many pictures were taken. Many pictures that cannot (and MUST not) be posted here. :eek: But, I thought this particular picture was a decent one of me. At least those of you that might be in DW at the same time as me might actually recognize me from this picture ;)

So, here ya go!

Thanks for the updated picture. I'll be looking for you especially the night of the party. I can't believe it's only 7 DAYS:cheer2:
 
I need to give credit to dh for making the template (I found a picture of the template here on the disboards and dh just drew it from sight). Problem is, after a couple of shirts, it's just too covered in paint to use again. So far he's made two templates and I was afraid to tell him that he'd need to make one more. He's a good sport though.

:thumbsup2 I will tell him. He's quite the Ar-Teest ;) A funny OT story...

When my youngest was in the hospital a few weeks back for his clean out, DH stayed with him the 2nd night and I went home. When I went back the next day, DH had drawn a racecar on the white board that they had in the room for DS3 to look at. The doctors came in to do their rounds and asked who had drawn the car. They were quite impressed! :rotfl:

Kali River Rapids is my favorite at AK as well. And Spectro is my favorite parade (well, it's my ONLY parade, but I think even if I'd seen them all, it would still be my favorite it is THAT good). Good job on the princesses princess:
 
Okay so I just read your entire pre-trip report and I am so excited for you. We just took our kids for the first time last August and am already thinking about going back this August (shhh! It's a secret!) Anyway, I was just wondering how your son was doing with his stomach problems. Just curious if he was ever tested for celiac disease. 2 of my kids have that. Have a great time next week!!! I definitely have trip envy!!!

GO PATS!!!! :banana:

:welcome:

I love when New Englanders visit me :cool1:

They did the blood tests for Celiac, which were negative (except for one, but they said it was like the 4th test they look at and it can be positive/high for things besides Celiac as well). I know that someone can have Celiac and still test negative for it. I acutally was sure he had Celiac when we started this whole testing process, but now I'm leaning more towards Hirshsprung's. He actually had a follow up the other day along with an x-ray and he's already filling up with stool again :( His appetite is diminishing again too. It's kind of a long story and not PTR related so I don't want to bore everyone else. If you have more questions on it or just want to chat about all that, feel free to PM me. Thanks for asking about him :)

Thanks for stopping by and reading!

Pats are winning!!! Woohoo!!!! :cheer2:

Don't do the parades. However, DH and I saw Spectro back in 1997 so I guess that may be my favorite.

What is your favorite Disney souvenir (or which one do you most want)?
A pair of coffee cups that DH and I got last trip. They are both covered in every Disney character and his is blue inside while mine is pink inside. His says "Dad" on the handle and mine says "Mom". We've used these mugs every single morning for almost one year now.:love:

:rotfl: ...your edit reason on post #201...I'm picturing Michael. :rotfl:

For in the van, I always like to have a wad of ziploc bags on hand for various uses, both quart size and gallon size...and they can serve the pee container purpose too. :teeth: (Don't you love having boys for the pottying on the go stuff! :thumbsup2 I think "they" need to invent a contraption for we females that would make it as easy for us to pee in the car too. They could call it the "Venis". :rotfl: )

I love your mug!

#2 is such a good son posing for his mommy's silly pix. :goodvibes

I was relieved to hear that THAT container wasn't THAT container. lmbo

I just love the Josie pix!!

Wow, great deal on the toothbrush!

Good idea on the pj's to save space.

To jump in on the seasickness talk....my neighbor who is very prone to motion sickness (like me) said she wore the patch and it worked fabulously!

Sorry, you must be on the DIS for atleast 3 hours per day the last 10 days before a trip. :rotfl: You can pick up your resolution when you return...oh wait, AFTER the TR. ;)

Check your email!

Zebra Domes

Which is your favorite parade and why?
You know I think I have to say the AK parade! (I love them all though...) I just like how unique it is, and I love the music.

What is your favorite Disney souvenir (or which one do you most want)?
(You are so making me think-this is great! :))

Aurora

What is the scariest ride?

Oh this is so hard! They all have good stuff!
I will say Morocco though. It feels like it has the most little interesting spaces to explore. It takes me somewhere else the most.

Very fun!! :)
 
I suppose I can let it slide ;) Most people (who aren't NE fans) seem to hate the Patriots right now. So, as long as there is no mean talk about my Pats on my PTR, then I'm fine :thumbsup2

I'm anxiously awaiting your next installment :banana: If you're posting here, perhaps that means you have one already!

So who won the game? We've been gone allllll day so I have no idea!

Umm, no on the next installment. :rolleyes1 Actually its written, I'm just adding more pics to my Photobucket account then it'll be ready to post. Some time Sunday for sure!

Love the t-shirts! Your hubby did a great job making the design! And the pic of you is so cute! You must be getting so excited!!
