Our Trick AND Treat- DD's Surprise Bday Trip! 11/4 Get Movin'

[Tnkrbelle565]

I don't know how I missed you starting your PTR.

What a bummer about your school not wanting them to miss days! Jordan's (my dd's) school is okay with it as long as it is 5 days or less.

Could you tell Aisling that you started making customs for the big give? That would explain you making Disney themed clothes that aren't for her. Jordan knows that I sometimes make t-shirts for kids that are sick and are going to WDW. (BTW - your clothes are beautiful and any of the Big Give kids would be thrilled to receive them)

I really want to go to MNSSHP and your photos are not helping!!! We've been to P&PP and MVMCP. DH is refusing to step foot on Disney property for five years after we took 3 trips in 20 months. We are going to NYC in a few weeks and I am making him go to World of Disney and maybe a show - I figure I have to work him back into Disney slowly.

Love your photos, customs and costumes and am looking forward to the rest of your PTR and TR!

Glad you made it over!

I think I am going to tell Aisling that the outfits are for the Big Give but I'm scared of having to deal with her when I tell her the outfits aren't for her

You need to go to MNSSHP at some point. It was just SOOO much fun. I'd love to go to MVMCP next but unless we for a weekend trip I don't think that's going to happen. Aisling got into the school we applied for (we found out Thursday) and they are SUPER strict about missing any days at all. So this will probably be out last MNSSHP for awhile too

When are you going to NY? We are going from the 29th-30th to see the Little Mermaid

thank you!

60's to the right of the pool if you are walking out of the lobby building. There's a big playdoh can in front of that building.

here is a better pic

Totally unrelated to Disney trips at all...

Today I saw Dirty Dancing (the stage show- not the movie- EVERYONE has seen the movie!!!). If you guys have a chance to check it out, you should. It was fabulous! There were 55 musical numbers. And the dancing was insane. Plus the set design and special effects were AMAZING...they did the "the best place to do lifts is the water" scene. ON STAGE. I still can't figure out how they did it (screens and LCD screens I think).

If you want to donate $25, they can take a picuture of you carrying a watermelon after the show - sadly I didn't stick around to do it so I don't have any pics. But it was a really fun show.

So there is my random recommendation of the day

I love dirty dancing so this sounds right up my alley. Too bad Patrick Swayze isn't included in the show! I know he is sick and all but he is still one hot babe!

I saw Dirty Dancing in when it came to Toronto and I really enjoyed it. The only thing I wasn't so crazy about was the lack of live music... but the dancing was great! The last musical I saw was Spring Awakening and I have to say, I wasn't a huge fan. The friend I saw it with loved it though, so maybe I'm just not educated enough when it comes to theater.

I wish I could come too!

I've been trying to convince my family we need to do the big apple to see the little mermaid and of course to visit american girl.

Oh the guy who plays Johnny was still pretty hot. Not an ounce of fat on this guy. Wasn't the greatest actor in the world but he could move!

I was surprised by the lack of live music too. I thought they were going to sing more for a musical! I think you had most of the same cast that we did. I wish I could move like that!

You should!!!

Kristine,

Was it you and Stacy who kept seeing the family followed around by the camera crew on the tea cups and then the next day at AK?

If so I saw your people on the TLC commercial thing. I am thinking it was during J&K plus 8 either last week or the week before (or atleast on monday night). It was a what is your family celebrating type promo and they highlighted the family a bit. I have seen a few but I know it was the family you saw! Atleast I am pretty darn sure!

We will miss you by a few days! We are going for the weekend 4/24 - 26.

We have been wanting to take DD on a weekend trip to NYC since she saw Enchanted and fell in love with NYC. I just didn't want to pay the same price for a weekend in NYC as I could for a week at WDW. With the economy right now, we got a good rate on a hotel right in the heart of everything. Plus, DD wants an American Girl doll and if we are going to pay $100+ for a doll I want her to pick it out in person and have the whole experience. So, the timing is perfect!

I think we are going to try to do a show last minute and get tickets at TKTS. With three Disney shows on Broadway, I am betting they won't all be sold out. DD says she wants to see Mary Poppins because she already saw the Little Mermaid Show and Lion King Show at WDW.

Dirty Dancing was one of my favorite movies when I was younger! "I carried a watermelon." One of the best lines from the movie! Of course nothing beats, "Nobody puts baby in a corner."

It was Heather. I knew it had to be something for TLC!

Oh you are going to have so much fun! We have done the TKTS booth a few times. I will warn you that MP will probably not be up there. Usually only the older long running musicals are available (they mostly have tickets for off-broadway plays). They did have Lion King tickets the last time I was there but they sold out REALLY quickly. If you really want to see MP, go on Mousesavers and see if there is a code and buy the tickets. I got my Little Mermaid tickets for a way better deal than I would have gotten at TKTS.

Where did you see Dirty Dancing? I'm afraid to go and have it ruin the movie for me, its a classic!

When are you going to NY? We are going from the 29th-30th to see the Little Mermaid

Wooooo I've been DYING to go see Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins. I was hoping that they'd come to Boston like the Lion King did but alas, it hasn't yet. What hotel are you staying in?

I saw Dirty Dancing at the Opera House. It won't ruin the movie. It literally was WORD for WORD the movie. I was laughing with my mom afterward that the cast must have had a really easy time learning their lines. I could have performed every role! Well minus the dancing parts I could have played Baby when she was clueless at the beginning...well if I lost 60 pounds Ok, forget it...I can't be in Dirty Dancing!

Ya, I don't know what the delay is with these two coming to Boston. We usually get them pretty quickly. So away to NY we go! I have to take a week off cuz Aisling's day care is closed so why not go to NY midweek. It's Randy's bday on the 29th and what man DOESN'T want to go to AG Place and Little Mermaid on their 33rd bday???

I haven't booked a hotel yet. I need to get on that. Randy and I usually stay on the outskirts somewhere to save money but since we are bringing Ash, we really need to stay in Midtown...which means lots of $$$! Got any suggestions? I've never stayed in Midtown. I was thinking the Hilton maybe??

 

[Lady Lallie]

I am patiently waiting for Mary Poppins and Little Mermaid to come to Boston too. I know that Mary Poppins just started their Nation tour this month. Fingers crossed that they come sooner rather then later!

Thanks for the tips! I need to talk to DH and DD to see what they want to do.

When I told DH that the lady on the phone at AG said to allow three hours to tour, he said have fun I am not looking at dolls for three hours and then having dinner there! So I think he may wander around for awhile.

You should check out midtown hotels! We are staying at the Omni Berkshire at 52nd and Madison (3 block to AG, 9 blocks to Times Square) for $185 + tax a night using a discount code. Normal price is $335 + tax per night. When I looked last year, the cheapest hotel that wasn't super far away from the things we wanted to do was around $275 or so.

Ahhh I REALLY hope Mary Poppins makes a stop in Toronto. I would just love to see that.

OOOh did you get a discount code offer in an email or google it? We got 2nd row center orchestra for Little Mermaid for $71/each with the Mousesavers code! I love codes!!!

We have an AG Place here in Boston so my DH is used to it...much to his dismay! He looks around with DD while I buy everything and sneak it back into the car!

It was a special offer on travel zoo about two months ago. If you haven't been on their website, check it out and sign up for their newsletter. I get an e-mail from them every week with the 20 hottest internet travel deals for the week and the Omni deal was one of them.

I've been watching mousesavers for show deals but all the ones I have seen end at the beginning of April. I am hoping for a mousesaver or disney visa special offer. I also found a discount broadway site that I might try.

Thanks for the tip. I do get the travelzoo emails and end up deleting them. I checked it today. Nothing too tempting yet. I'll keep watching

A friend stayed at the Westin Hotel in Times Square, right across from the Amsterdam theater. I don't know how much that costs though but you can check it out!

I know! I super hope it does. DISmeet!
