I am hoping for one in May!!

Hi to all.....sorry I will get caught up later....off to work! I just scored a great deal on a new bike for DD6's birthday in April from Toys r us!! Yay!

We do, but ever since they merged with Southwest, neither airline has had as many good deals out of PHL (although I can't complain too much, because that's how we wound up with our credit...fare dropped alot) But it needs to be used by July 6, and there are no good deals anywhere right now for us on Southwest. I am also anxiously awaiting the release of fares for my WDW dates in Nov. Right now it is through Nov. 1.


My hubby calls the Disney travel shows my porn.

Check out Frontier flights from Trenton...they haven't released November yet, but we are flying next month from Allentown for $118 RT and I had a great experience on Frontier last year!

And OMG same here...let me tell you...that's right, you know already

Simply point out to DH that you are saving him $100 staying at the GF over HRH... If worlds colide and we are at Disney the same time , will the Pas mobile hold 2 more peeps for US? Your dates fall under my original BB...

Love the reactions from the kids!!

Way to go on your studies!! Happy that your homework is finished for the week... here is a sticker for you!

LOVE my sticker!!!

Of course we can fit you and Sam We have seating for 8...you and I will squish! Brandon actually offered to sleep on the floor if it makes GF cheaper He does like GF but really loves the rides at US..it's tough though can't do a split. The Loews discount for 30% off is 7 nights, 5-6 is 25 then it is less for under 5 All good!!! Sarah is working her magic on Brian

Your DH's advice was the same I gave Joey. My DH, well I had to tell Joey to ignore his father. The DH said if he got the chance, to act like he tripped and stab him with a pencil just deep enough to break the lead into him. I literally smacked DH for telling him that, well on the arm anyway.

I think a slushie in the face is more effective than the pencil...much more dramatic You're a great mom!

DH looked at the tag and couldn't believe it was almost as much as a Kate Spade he bought me ...needless to say...no Dooney for me

I am hoping for one in May!!

NICE! Oh boy...spring is coming!

 

[letthewookiewin]

I think so. Plus the parents of the other kid, are more likely to try and press chargers for the pencil thing than the slushie. Heck, if he doesn't want to throw it in his face, he could throw it on his pants, so it looks like he had an accident. I'm sure if his mom has to bring him a change of clothes enough times from this, his behavior will stop.

Love this idea.

Back in the day...I would've taken the sign

Bahahaha. Oh you scoundrel. We would've been best buds back then, for sure. (And these are the stories I can never tell Miss M.)

My biggest argument is our last two summer trips were US/IoA it''s WDWs turn

And like Janet says, saves you dosh? Sounds like a win, win to me. GF for the GF Gal. Pack him some air fresheners and you're done.

I just checked that Slickdeals website, I've never been on it before. I don't see a $7 coupon, how do I find it??? Can I use it at Target?

Candace,
I was curious and took a look... it was on the bottom left for me... here is the link... (it makes you sign up for an account)

There is a spot to click on that reads "$7 printable coupon"


http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/90636/target-stores-wreckit-ralph-two-disc-bluraydvd-combo

Yep, yep... that's the link that Janet posted. It's a bit of a pain -- need a Scott's account and a Disney Movie Rewards (which you probably have already ). Then you need to install a silly coupon printer program. Anyhow, used it at Target yesterday with no problems... not too shabby getting $7 buckaroos off. Haven't seen it yet but the trailers looked great. Besides, I believe it will appeal to the gamer nerds in us.

My hubby calls the Disney travel shows my porn.

for all of us here, I think.

Wookie: I like the "slushie facial" suggestion. (And what your hubs said.) And, with that I'll revert back to only Disney-enabling.


~~------------------~~

Hubs seemed genuinely kinda happy (he's never like "YAY" like we all get, of course ) about me having booked the flights yesterday. I'm thinking that Miss M is going to be a bit when she sees that we're not going to YC/BC though. Guess she's in for a shock. Well, hubs is too for that matter.

 

[Koh1977]

Pas - did I miss where you changed to AS Sports for the short April trip? Rats! Now no inside scoop on CSR BC.

Yea we would

Sorry about that! All about the Benjamins Plus I see Sports is all fresh and pretty with new bedding! I'm excited

I called yesterday to price out 2 rooms BC for August, the CM said they connect to King rooms only I haven't confirmed this with another CM...but this is no good if it's true (I doubt it is though)

We just got back last night from our 10 day stay at ALLstarSports. Terrific! We stayed in Baseball 8, newly done, clean, and just right for our family of 4. The main pool was supposed to be closed from Feb 25-March something... but it was open the whole time we were there. Did they do that just for us??????

We really loved that resort, loved how we were 1st to get off, and be picked up on the bus route, etc. If we go value again, we'll probably do sports again. So happy w/the place.

Thank you!!!! Glad the pool was open...so happy you had a fantastic vacation

 

[Mousemommy1]

Yup! That coupon was a pain to get! We do have a Disney Movie Rewards account but surprisingly, DH opened it and does everything with it, so I had to get in touch with him for the password, etc...and then I couldn't install the coupon printer on my work computer, so had to go home and do it and THEN go to Target, but bottom line...got my $7 off....I sure earned it.

 

[Piglets Mommy]

Ack!! I got the job I interviewed for last week. Maternity leave at a nearby high school for the remainder of the year! I'm so excited, but completely anxious at the same time! I start Monday!!

Ok...this is weird...thought I responded to this yesterday. Anyway, Congrats!!! (or congrats again...my laptop is totally wonky)

Last trip DH got me one of the Disney DB purses. I LOVE it and use it every day!

I am a big Dumbo fan, and had been wanting the one with him on it, but hesitated, as I am not really a purse person, and couldn't justify spending the $$ on. When I was in the parks and saw it in person, I thought it was really heavy too. But it's Dumbo, so I still haven't totally ruled it out. Also didn't really likt the shine on that pattern either, I like the more matte finish of the balloon pattern and others.

Check out Frontier flights from Trenton...they haven't released November yet, but we are flying next month from Allentown for $118 RT and I had a great experience on Frontier last year!

And OMG same here...let me tell you...that's right, you know already

I didn't realize they went out of Trenton until a few weeks ago, so have been meaning to keep an eye on them. Thanks for the reminder. Trenton is a bit of a pain for us to get to, but for the right price, it's worth it!

I'm still not happy with him about his suggestion.

Hubs seemed genuinely kinda happy (he's never like "YAY" like we all get, of course ) about me having booked the flights yesterday. I'm thinking that Miss M is going to be a bit when she sees that we're not going to YC/BC though. Guess she's in for a shock. Well, hubs is too for that matter.

Maybe she'll take it better than you think she will, or both of them for that matter.

I'm glad you had such a great trip.

I found my missing knitting needle, so I can get back to the knitting project I was working on. It's a pink/ chocolate brown MH scarf. As soon as that is done, I am starting two LoTR scarves. It's the inscription from the ring, and is double knitted. I'm going to make one for myself and one for my sister.

Hey girls! As I'm sure you may have guessed my absence is related my DS6. I'm not ready to talk about it yet, but I wanted to let you all know everything is ok.

I'm way too out of the loop to attempt a real catch up, but I caught a few tidbits I'd like to comment on

Jen - Re: your Cape May BF ressie, are you flying internationally? Because I thought I read somewhere ME is 4 hours early if you are. Not sure, but wanted to throw it out there just in case. Love the American Girls pic.

Wookie - Sorry your DS is having trouble. When my DS was getting bullied it was the same type of thing. Other kid was was smaller and DS said "I could lay him out, but then they'd probably blame me since I'm bigger." He was probably right. I hope the other kid knocks it off pronto.

pas - I'd love to see you guys stay at the GF in the fall!

babyberger - Got your PM. You are a doll.

Miss - I hope you are fairing well with that storm. Looked nasty!

--------

Now, I need some Disney planning help. I am working with an offsite vendor to do a surprise vow renewal for the April trip. We are doing a scavenger hunt through the MK that leads DH to the Wishing Well where we will have a private moment to recommit to each other.

Afterwards I booked an Illuminations Cruise. Anyone have opinions on this? Yay or Nay? I'm just not sure it's worth the cost, but I want to do something special. I though about having a cake and champagne delivered from Private Dining to have on board.

Whaddaya think?

Miss you all

 

[Koh1977]

Oh my goodness!! I just read on FB that they have Dole whips with Rum at Epcot!!

That sounds SO sweet and special!! I would love to do a vow renewal at Disney sometime. We got engaged at Epcot at Alfredo's in Italy when it was still there. Our reception had a complete Disney theme as well.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Iheart: So glad you are back and everything is ok. I think what you are planning sounds so wonderful and magical! What a lucky DH!

Koh: Yes, the spiced Rum Dolewhip is on my list to try at the F&G festival!!

Wookie: I hope you post pics of your scarves....

Miss: I am so glad your DH is happy about the flights. It is so nice to have those nailed down, and then you can change dates NO more!! I am sure Miss M will be thrilled no matter where you are staying...

Pas: You do make AS Sports sound great! Someday we will get 2 rooms at a value, and will remember to check it out!


Well...no changes here. I am boring with a Capital B. I really wanted to tell the girls about our trip tonight. DH and I were the 'judges' in their Doll Fashion Show, and I would've just loved to spring it on them. DH nixed it though...and gave me the "All in good time my dear" line.

Waving hi to all.....hope everyone has had a good day. Only 15 days till Spring!!

Luckily, the kid wasn't there today. I hope he does knock it off before Joey has to do something about it.

That is such a sweet idea!! I would love to do that one day, especially since we met at the MK.

Wookie: I hope you post pics of your scarves....

I will.

I am so excited ladies!!! I mean like I screamed so loud my DH thought I had broken something. Nathan Fillion is coming to Comic Con in May. I am like "I was just given a free Disney trip" excited!!

 

[disneydreamin247]

Hey everyone. I am popping in to say I am considering a quick 3 night trip with Lily. We both need a break from all the family drama and stress and I think some one on one time with her momma would be excellent for her right now. Pricing things out and looking at our options.
