Our 3rd Trip to WDW, Sept' 09, *TOC on Pg 1* *TR STARTED - CLICK ON THE LINK*

So we still have not received our travel documents, and we are within 3 weeks out now, so I called our travel agent... She talked to Disney and they are just now printing them out and sending them... Our TA requested they overnight them since we are so close, but they wanted to charge us $10 to do that... She figured if they were sending them today, we should have them by Friday, so we will have to wait and see what happens :headache:
 
I went and bought new backpacks for the family... They are Nike mini backpacks... They are very cute, and very light weight... We are going to try something new this year, the kids will carry their own stuff (autograph books, penny tubes, etc...) I found 3 different colors, so I bought all of them, that way DS and DD could pick theirs, and DW could have one too :) DS picked the red one, DD picked the blue one, and DW got the pink one...

And here are the autograph books that Toni made for the kids... She figured these would be better since we tend to get every characters autographs, even duplicates... Plus they are more personal and will hold up better.... They each have about 100 pages inside...

If you happen to spot us, pull us aside... You should make them yourselves... We got the button kit at Wal-Mart... They are about 80 cents a piece, and just snap together... If you need help in photoshop making them, let me know... :thumbsup2


Terry
...I have tried n tried to print stuff out in Lime Green but it keeps coming out more of a kelly green, any ideas? :confused3

Toni...I understand the not feeling very talkative, you have a lot on your mind right now. Take care :hug:

Good job on the autograph books! Did you do the character letters to the kids? Those backpacks are cute I really, really likee the Red one!

Cute autograph books!:lovestruc

I've found that the kids get a little more interaction with the characters when they have "home made" ones.

The only thing I can think of, is not everything that you print will be what the monitor shows... Try changing the color either darker or lighter... It may be that your monitor shows a much lighter green, but it will print more lime green... Worth giving it a shot... Try writing something and print in what you think is lime green (or even what the computer shows as lime green) and print, then change it a little, and reprint... you will find a happy medium, and then just remember that for future...

Oops... I forgot that I didn't sign Toni out before I made the post... Oh well...
 
We have tweaked our ADR's a little... Here is what we ended up with... As you will see, we are going to be gaining a few pounds this trip :rotfl:

We have decided to do what MrsTheKing cleverly calls "Tinkerbell Farts" for the kids... We have 10 days of our vacation set up so that they will receive a special gift from Tinkerbell... The kids will find the gift in the hotel room either when we return from the parks, or when they wake up... The little gift bags will have pixie dust (aka confetti) spread around just as if Tinkerbell had been there and farted :lmao:... I even thought about spraying some vanilla room spray so that I can go, "What is that smell? Smells like a Tink fart to me." :rotfl2: Anyways, the gifts range from some candy, to some light up necklaces, to video games, and surprise events that were scheduled like the Albatross Pirate Treasure Cruise and 1900 Park Fare dinner with Cinderella... Should be a lot of fun for the kids...

Hi Toni and Terry, just wanted to chaeck in and say hi!!! First of all, I can not believe that you still did not get your trip docs. yet!!! WTH?!?!? You would think that your TA could have sprung the $10 bucks to have them overnights... After all, isn't it her job to make sure her clients have what they need?!?!?! :sad2:

I think that is a great idea to have the kids carry their own stuff!! And the backpack you got, you will love!!! Devon has the blue one, and he carries his soccer stuff in it... It is very lightweight and durable.

Toni, the autograph books are so adorable!!! So creative you are!!! Oh, and the ides of the tink farts!!! Priceless!!! I love it!!! I just might be stealing that idea from you!! :goodvibes

Hope all is well!!! ~Reese

I told Terry after he got off the phone with our TA that I would have paid the freaking 10 bucks myself!!! I am going to have to be put into a straight jacket if they are not here by tomorrow... :mad:

Why am I not surprised that Devon has one of those backpacks... :laughing:

We are sending the kids on the Albatross cruise out of Beach Club on the 21st... Just sayin' :rolleyes1
 
We know Jordan has been sick and busy, so we took it upon ourselves to make a flat Jordan for our upcoming trip... We would like to introduce you to the flat Jordan that will be coming with us on our trip.... :laughing:
