[Camster0307]

oh, i can't belive you've never seen wishes! i just LOVE that show. we have to promise each other that we will see the other person's favorite show next trip! i like sake but i have to be in the mood for it. my sister drinks it hot and i can't handle it like that.....it just seems stronger when it's hot!

Wishes is on my must-do lists for Nov. so -- you have a deal!

Sad to hear your TR is ending; but you'll have a new one to write for your Sept. trip, right?

I would like to comment on the dress too, she made that. I have seen that fabric in many stores. Oh and the kid on the safari. That was totally unacceptable to me and I am surprised that the CM didn't say something. If that kid ever fell off, you know they would sue. I agree kids should act at a vacation trip just as they would at home, with that said, I'm sure that's how they let them behave.

Oh goodness, I always hope mine act better on vacation than at home!

Another day brightener - Channel 5 is at this moment reporting that gas prices are falling.

i'm glad i was able to make you smile today!!!!!! i hope that's true about gas. and i hope it sticks through mid-september so erica and i don't spend a fortune on gas!!!!

I heard on the news the other day that gas prices could be down to about $3/gal. by the end of the year.


I got a fevah!

Speaking of iPhones, I get put on Direct Fulfillment for my iPhone 3G Friday, which means by next week or so I'll have it! Woot!

Just got caught up with the last update. I love the WS, going to all the countries is so fun for me. Although we generally just go through them to get a little stamp from the country and have a CM sign our passport books and that's it. My DS7 will love the Japanese store, he is crazy over Pokemon. I think the next we go I want to do explore the countries a little more.

I love this kind of pizza, yummy yummy

Yeah for your other guests coming but sad your TR is almost over

 

[amytheobald]

we're up to day 5 now!!!!!!
i know most of you are asking, why didn't they go do soarin or at least get a fastpass for it? we're not soarin fans. we're one of the few people that don't "get" that ride. i mean, it's not BAD. it's just not that good in my opinion. but i have promised erica multiple rides on soarin in september, so i knew i'd be back anyway!
[/url]

We are the same way with Soarin...the kids want to ride it so we probably will, but DH and I could do without! Lovin' this trippie...paitently waiting for the next one!

Just got all caught up, GREAT updates. I just love your reports. Let's see, where to begin. First of all I am LOVING what an Epcot convert Ray has become, pins and all, amazing what a park that lets you drink can do to a man . Loved the photo of the guy sleeping, so funny and the ECV parade, too cute! Can't believe you didn't go into Mexico, you have to someday, it really is cool in there and the Mexican boat ride rocks . Loved the photos of the Flower and Garden show thingies, that looks so pretty. You experienced lots of little things we haven't in World Showcase. Lauren was super jealous when she came in and saw you guys found Dopey, we tried to hunt him down several times and each time he was "taking a nap" and it was just Snow White. Loved the pics of your doggies with their new stuffed animals, they are so cute! Can't wait for more especially since you said it was the best day ever

My cat is probably just as spoiled as your dogs. I'm not "allowed" to buy her anything this trip, since she already has a full line of Disney leashes, toys, and treats. Well, the treats are long gone, but she has had all the Disney treats. My sister's cat, and my grandmother's dog both have a lot of Disney stuff as well.

And as far as spoiled dogs go, my aunt's are the most spoiled dogs ever. They can never stay in a kennel, so anytime my aunt visits, the dogs must come with her. I love it when they come, my parents, not so much. The dogs get hugs and kisses before my aunt and uncle do, LOL.

what in the world would we do without our pets???

That scene is forever burned in my mind and I think watching it tore my corneas.

my eyes......my eyes............I'M BLIND!!!!!!!! i will be very happy if i live my entire life without ever having to see that part of will ferrell's body again!

That green tea plum wine looked good ....sorry it didn't taste so.

you can try it this trip and see what you think. they had another kind that i can get to see if i like it better. can't remember what the flavor was right now though.

I don't think I've ever ridden Malstrom, and we will definitely go in Mexico...it's great!

maelstrom is fine as long as you don't have to wait long. we'll check it out! and yes, i want to go to mexico and see the inside!

I really have trouble thinking those nacho's were made in advance....they would be really crappy in about 10-15mins

i learned from a response here that if you insist, they will make them the way you want - you just have to wait for them.

Good grief you guys got a lot of stuff.....I may do the same this time b/c I was REALLY good in December!

shop, shop, shop all you want! i don't mind AT ALL!

PRECIOUS pictures of the babies I like Eli's Eeyore!

he loves it too! today he was whining to go outside and when i opened the back door for him he wanted to take eeyore outside with him. i told him no and took it away from him because i'm afraid i'll forget it's out there and it'll get gross and dirty. so he goes outside and i shut the screen door and drop eeyore in the floor next to it, then he just sits at the back door and stares through the screen at eeyore instead of going to potty!!!

Awww, I love the picture of Eli with the eyeore doll!!! So sweet!!! I love furbabies!!!!!

see the little story above about what he did today with eeyore. so cute!

Amen Sister! No hurricanes, no hurricanes, no hurricanes

i'm stocked up on ponchos so we're all good!

That's great. I think I agree with Brett. I need to take that phone away from you . We should get ours tomorrow.....lets just hope its all set up correctly so I don't have a come-apart

i hope everything goes smoothly with it so we won't be reading about you being in jail for killing someone over a cell phone!

I'm so glad you called me to meet up with you guys this weekend. It was a lot of fun!! You need to e-mail me that pic of us if you can. Sorry I didn't call you back tonight, not sure what happened to my time And thanks again for my CUTE shirt

you're welcome! mine came today and i'm wearing it right now! i e-mailed those pics through kodak gallery. you should've gotten an e-mail. if not, let me know. you can right-click on the picture and save it to your computer through that site.

Sad to hear your TR is ending; but you'll have a new one to write for your Sept. trip, right?

okay......i'll let you know what i thought of illuminations and you let me know what you think of wishes! and of course i will be doing a september TR. i guess me and erica will do a joint one. we're not doing a pre-TR though.

Oh goodness, I always hope mine act better on vacation than at home!

I heard on the news the other day that gas prices could be down to about $3/gal. by the end of the year.

i hope that's true!!! awesome. i remember about 8 years ago when it was 89 cents a gallon down here!!!

I got a fevah!

Speaking of iPhones, I get put on Direct Fulfillment for my iPhone 3G Friday, which means by next week or so I'll have it! Woot!

cool! i like mine but i'm still getting used to it. i sent 2 text messages today that i wasn't finished typing yet because of where the "send" button is placed. very annoying. that's my only complaint so far though.

Yeah for your other guests coming but sad your TR is almost over

there's so much to explore at WS!!! i'm sure no one gets to see all of it on any one trip. i'm sure you'll love exploring it! and yes, that pizza was very yummy!!!! but not very peep-like.

We are the same way with Soarin...the kids want to ride it so we probably will, but DH and I could do without! Lovin' this trippie...paitently waiting for the next one!

i think it was just built up too much in my mind or something. i guess i was just expecting more. it's still fun but it's not a must-do for me.

well, i only have 35 days until we go back!!!! i'm sure we will go into the mexico pavillion this time. erica and i are spending more time in WS this time since both our hubbies really don't enjoy it all that much. i wish i could've met dopey, but we were both tired and the line was really long. it's on my future trips "to do" list though!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I LOVE the pics of your doggies with the plushies! So very adorable.

I'm glad to hear your last day was the best-that always makes such a nice finale to a trip!!

 

[nflder]

Oh My God - What great seats for Beauty and the Beast. I'm only on Day two yet - B&B is my favourite show and I have yet to get a pic of the Beast that isn't blurry because he is always moving. Great pics!

 

[MA pigletfan]

all caught up again..LOVING the WS stuff..i am so happy that Ray decided to give it another shot i bet he is too!!
LOVE the doggies snuggling with the new toys..so cute! Chief proudly wears his red mickey collar out on the town

WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!!! so super exciting!!!!!!!!!!

um......i bought gum for the trip today. probably won't get as big of a reaction as our package!

 

[hlrababy]

Yeah for the gum purchase!!!!! lol!!
I do the exact same thing before we go. I always go to Sam's and buy a bulk pack of gum to take with us.

BTW, how exciting for you guys!!! Only 35 more days!!

 

[Eventer98]

Awesome that you got your luggage tags!! When our ME stuff came a few weeks back I was ecstatic as well...makes it seem so much more real!!

 

[jordanyosh]

You guys are going to have SO much fun together.....

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

[scottny]

[Camster0307]

Hi Dawn,

I have enjoyed all your pics on the food and drinks threads and thought I would check out your TR but being the way I am, I started reading your first one (I know, )

Anyways, I have to know if your DH got his trip to Yellowstone and if so, what you thought of it. I would put both WDW and Yellowstone on my top 10vacations list. I adore them both for very different reasons!!
