[Spartangirl]

Count me in! What a fun TR! I can't wait to hear your engagement story...

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey there I am really enjoying your trip report. It sounds like you guys had a blast. I can't wait to hear about the proposal! Thatis very romantic that you are getting married on your anniverary: Can't wait for the next update!

Great tr so far. Can't wait to hear about how the engagement happened.

We adore the waterparks. They are 2 of the reasons we go to Disney. They are sooooo much fun.

Up here in the PNW, waterparks really don't exist. We have a wild waves about 1.5 hours from here and most of the time the weather just doesn't cooperate. Although it is 97 degrees today, so it would be a good day to go.

Wow 97 degrees does seem pretty hot for that part of the country!! We have a Six Flags waterpark in Illinois and the Wisconsin Dells aren't too far from here, but Disney's waterparks seem so much better!

Count me in! What a fun TR! I can't wait to hear your engagement story...

Hello and The engagement story is coming up, I promise!

Hi and I am glad you are enjoying my TR!

Okay DISers I need your help...

Does anyone know if you take the negatives from your disposable cameras or older cameras to a photo processing place (ie: Walgreens, Walmart, etc) will they be able to take the negatives and put them on to a CD?

The reason I ask is because DF's mom got some really great shots on her disposable camera and gave me an extra set of prints, but I want to make them digital. Plus, we have so many negatives just sitting in a box, I thought it may be fun to get them all on a CD. Has anyone had negatives put onto a CD?

Thanks in advance!!!

Okay this is the answer I got from my DBF who is a camera buff like his dad. I hope this helps.
Yes, It can be done easily. I don't know if Walgreens can do it or not, but many camera shops and certainly profesional labs can.

I know most photo places will put your 35 mm photos on a cd when you get them developed originally, so i'm sure they can do it from the negatives too, it just might cost a little more. I'm not 100% that Walgreens does it, but i know that CVS and Wal-Mart do.

Sounds like you had fun at BB....I can't wait to try another Disney Waterpark...The last time I was at one was when River Country was still open. I LOVED River Country!!! My youngest will be 4 on our next trip, and we are going in Dec, so we won't get there this time, but hopefully the trip after this we can hit a WP one day.

Thanks so much! You and your DBF are the best! I am going to begin digging up all of our negatives. That will be like a 1 year project.

Does your DBF possibly know what the cost is to get them on CD. I know at Walgreens they will make a CD for you for about $3 to $4, I dont know if it would be the same for taking them off of negatives.

Yeah I was wondering if it would cost more to do it from negatives, but I think it would be worth it. I hope Walgreens does it so that I can utilize DF's discount!

I have only seen River Country in pictures, it definitley looked interesting, I wish I could have visited it when it was open.

Sorry each place is different so I can't say how much it would be.

I know it's more to do it after the fact than at the time of Developing. DH made a DVD for his parents with lots of old family photos. This was about 5 years or so ago...It was about $150 for an hour long DVD with music and all, so for just a CD of potos, i would guess about half that. It all depends on where you go and how many pics you put on. At any rate, it's a good investment so that you can preserve those photos forever.

River Country was really cool (in a 10 year olds eyes). At the time, there was really nothing like it anywhere.

Awesome update and I love all the BB pics! I am always interested in other's opinion of the Disney wp. I like TL better than BB for some reason...I can't put a finger on it...however the theming at BB is just hilarious! I love that you won't ride by yourself...and can you just imagine going down that huge slide at BB???? Honestly if someone offered me free DVC if I went down it I would actually have to pause and think about it So I guess I am not the only person scared of it.

Congratulations on setting your date and beginning your planning...how thrilling! I am the same as you...have a big wedding close to home and do your vow renewals in Disney on your 10th Anniversary (or whatever year you pick). And of course, there's always the weddingmoons and anniversary trips to Disney

Cannot wait to for the next update...btw, I just put our pics in my scrapbook from the Tiki Room

 

[snowbell]

Great installment. I would give BB another chance. I had to go twice before I figured out the park... TL is also awesome. I must agree.

And about your pictures -- You can definitly get it down at one of the value stores. The only problem you may face is untrained photog people. Just please be careful of where you choose to go. I had pictures developed off negatives and they were destroyed....

Awwwww you put me in your scrapbook, I feel honored!! I havent even started mine yet and I dont know when I will. I dont know if I told you, but you were the first person I told when I got engaged, haha. My mother didnt even know yet!!!!!

That is so sad about your pictures! I hate when they hire people to do jobs which they do not know how to do. They never bother to really train them, it is very unfortunate.

I am sure DF and I will go back to BB one day. At least now we know what to expect and will be able to find our way around it better. Although I find that water parks are harder to get around because it all looks the same. We have been to TL a lot of times and we still wandered around for 20 minutes trying to find Crush n Gusher...more on that in a future installment.

Hi & I am glad you are enjoying the trippie. Feel free to use any of the ideas I posted, that is why I posted them in the first place!!
That is so cool that you are gonna be a teacher too! Do you have any idea what grade you want to teach?

thank you for the welcome i am planning on getting my masters in special education. i would like to teach kindergarten or 2nd grade. i absolutely love children, and the idea of the 5 year olds in kindergarten is very exciting. however the shoe tying, nose wiping, bathroom accident parts is a lot to deal with on the side of teaching! i have been a camp counselor and babysat many children that age, and it can get a little tiring after awhile.

2nd grade has also seems exciting to me, because i feel the kids have an idea of whats going on with themselves and the world, and of course they can do all that stuff by themselves for the most part!

also with the special education i don't really know if i would end up with all special ed children or an inclusion classroom. just going to have to see what opens up here on Long Island.

sorry that this is so long! im just so excited about starting and having a classroom to decorate and things to plan out.

have a great day!

That is very cool that you want to do Special Ed. Inclusion classrooms are very common in Illinois and all teachers are required to take a special education course. I dont know if it is the same in NY or not. Kindergarten is a fun age, they are still so young and curious about the world. I am actually student teaching in a kindergarten classroom this fall. Although it is not my favorite grade, I am still so excited! I always wanted to do 2nd or 3rd for the same reason as you: they sorta have a grasp about what is going on and they become used to the school routine. However, I taught in a 5th grade classroom last semester and absolutely loved it!!!! I never thought I would like the older grades, but it was so much fun! I guess you cant really know what you want to teach unless you try a little of it all. I am sorry THIS is so long, I get so excited when I start talking about teaching with other to-be teachers!!

Great Trip Report, and Congrats on the Engagment

Thanks so much and

Happy Weekend DISers!!!​

I will try and get the next update up ASAP! Man, I never realized how much work writing a Trip Report can be!! But that is okay, I enjoy doing it, it is just sometimes hard to find the time.

DF and I are going to visit our first reception hall today! We are gonna feel them all out before we decide on one. The places I have called have told us that they are already starting to book their 2009 dates, YIKES! We gotta get a move on!! After our site visit we are gonna go see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! I AM SO EXCITED FOR IT!!

I will probably have the next installment either tomorrow or Monday for sure! I hope you all have a great weekend!

I am really enjoying your trip report, and looking forward to the next post. You and your DF make a really cute couple. Your pictures are great also. I am a visual person, so I love it when a trip report is full of pictures.
