Yay for a new camera! Hope everyone is feeling better real soon!

I hope Maddie feels better quickly. It's those beginning of the school year germs!

YEAH for a new camera! What kind did you get?

 

[wdwgirl03]

So were you at the Packers game last night?!

 

[joy13]

I can't believe the MNSSHP has started!!!!!

Thanks for the links. How thoughtful of you!

Thanks also for the advice about going to Chef Mickey's. I think since they will be so close that it would be a shame if they didn't go.

That blog had some great pictures! The MK looks amazing. I seriously cannot believe how much they've amped up the decorations from when we went in '06. Other than some pumpkins on Main Street they had nothing like what they have now!

It does seem so early for Halloween - but it's such a popular party - it must be worth it to start so early.

Congratulations!

Hope Maddie feels better soon!!

Maddie was better the day after she was diagnosed - it's amazing how quickly zithromax works She was back at school Thursday (diagnosed Tuesday night)

As for the camera it is an Olympus Fe3000. I like it a lot so far - had a lot of fun playing with it this weekend. I'll share some pictures

So were you at the Packers game last night?!

No That game had me worried most of the night - what a great ending though

See that beautiful lake? Maddie and I got swimmers itch from it after swimming yesterday - yuck! I have been swimming there since I was 2 and have never gotten it before. Thankfully it's not contagious so Maddie could go to school. It's been a crazy week

Subbing in and wanted to say that we went to CM for breakfast in 2007 and thought the food was blah.....BUT the pictures we have from that breakfast were great!! I say keep it....I am not sure if they still wear red but it's a very nice Christmas card picture if they do. I had my son in red just by dumb luck

Playing Peek a Boo with the mouse!

Sorry to hear about swimmer's itch - I have never heard of that but it doesn't sound fun

Also, we arrived in Disney on 9/4 and everything is all decorated for all you MNSSHP peeps

Now I have to go back and read through the rest of your report

I received my magical express papers today - woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!! That just lets me know how close my trip is and I have to call Disney because our flights home changed to completely different flights. We actually leave at 8:00am instead of 7:30am now - and I'll take every minute of sleep I can!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

yay!!!!!! When I called a few weeks back to set up my stuff, the girl was really nice but said the papers wont arrive until sometime in Nov for the Dec trips...sad day haha. But I'm glad you got yours!!!

So - our trip is only 5 weeks away I thought I'd better start getting ready

So I called WDW dining for two reasons, the first was to ask again about the CRT ressie. I don't know if I brought this up before. I made the ADR online and had it linked to my ressie with the dining plan, but it still charged my CC instead of just using it as a gaurantee. I called that day and the CM told me just to let them know when we check in for our lunch and they will credit our CC and put it on the dining plan. I decided I'd call again and make sure they couldn't do that now. The CM I got said she could try and see if there was availability at the time of our ressie (yeah right ) and if so rebook it under the dining plan and then cancel the old one. Of course, there was no availablity - so we weren't going to take the chance of cancelling and rebooking She confirmed that I just tell them at the podium. I asked if I needed some sort of proof that I paid and she said the will have that info - I just need to make sure to be the one (since my name is on the ressie) to do it, and have the same card and ID. So it stinks that that money is stuck with Disney for 3 months, but I guess it could have been worse and been 6 months. I wish the CM I talked to back in July would have offered to rebook it - we probably could have then. While I had her on the phone I had her cancel the Garden Grill ressie I had made - we are going to stick with Chef Mickey's. Then I had her transfer me to the reservation line. Our flight home was completely changed, so I gave them the new info. I don't know how big of a deal that is, since we check out bags - but since I was on the line anyway I figured it couldn't hurt

The best update of the day is one that will make Jordan proud .....

That's right, I made a trip to the Target travel aisle today

So now, I have to get started on transforming that princess dress into Cinderella's pink dress. I have the matierals purchased, but haven't started at all

 

[jenseib]

Great buys!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

wow!! Looks great!! I was walking down the travel asile at Walmart today and thought to myself how much I LOVE Target's travel asile and Walmarts no so much. I'll be doing my traveling buying at Target as well!!!

Good luck with the dress, can't wait to see it!
