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

[jenb1023]

I definitely say chance the 7:30 ADR - you should have plenty of time.

Have you given any though to hiring a car service to pick you up at the airport and to take you back to the airport? This will give you a lot more WDW time on both ends of the trip and it is not very expensive. We did this our last trip and it was great! I think we paid $130 plus tip but we needed a van for five people plus luggage - you guys can fit in a car and I remember cars being cheaper than a van when I was pricing it out.

We used to do the towncar thing before ME came to be. I did like it. Best part was the grocery stop. I loved being able to go to a store and get some stuff for the room at non-Disney prices. BUT, I do like having the extra $100 plus in my pocket for spending too

Aisling just said last night "next time we go to Disney we can take the bus to watch the movie right?" No clue why she thought of it but I think she'd be pretty disappointed in the towncar after ME!

That being said, we did have a towncar service at HOME after our last trip. It was great. They sent an actual limo. Cost $70 with the tip but well worth it. Parking at Logan is $25 day. So for a 9 day trip, that saved us a bundle of cash. My mom dropped us off but we flew in late night and I didn't want to ask her to do that.

Figured that I would share some pics of why I have been away from DIS for so long!

For those of you not on FB...here is my new house!!!

This is it empty during our final walkthrough!

Horribly dark pic of the master bedroom. It's red...there is a pic of the color earlier in the thread

Aisling's bedroom...it actually doesn't look like this anymore. It's light purple and the border is gone.

Playroom...it's a very bizarre room. It's basically divided in half by the staircase. So here is one half

See, there is a little cut through that splits the room. Aisling calls it her hidden passageway!

Your house is just gorgeous. Now if I could have a house like that complete with a hidden passage then I just might think about home ownership.

Aisling is quite thrilled with it! As well as the 2 "kid-sized" doors to the eaves (there is storage space behind them). She doesn't want us to store anything in there so she can play in there too!

I hadn't stopped by here in awhile...LOVE the house pictures. Your backyard is AWESOME!!!! It looks like you guys are going to love it there. Good luck getting unpacked and settled in!

We moved in our house almost two years ago and still have just a few unpacked boxes In my defense, I did have a baby 8 days after moving!!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

 

[jenb1023]

Love the house and what a nice big back yard!

Thank you! It's mostly unpacked. Still some boxes of stuffed animals in the playroom that I'm waiting to unpack until Aisling notices that they are unpacked!

You moved 8 days before having a baby???? Yikes!!! My BFF did that. She actually went into labor last year when she was moving and didn't tell her husband until after everything was moved in and all their help went home!!!

Love the house and what a nice big back yard!

Thank you!

I love the wainscoting in the bathroom!

I love the wainscoting in the bathroom!

Thank you...we are actually going to be doing wainscoting the kitchen to go over that brick. When the previous owners renovated the house- that was the last project that they never got to.

Looks great!!

I'm with the others... if you're running late, you can always cancel your Chef Mickey's ADR. Just don't tell Aisling about it ahead of time in case you do need to cancel.

What a fantastic birthday surprise! My son is turning 6 this October too. None of my children have been to Disney yet, so this fall will be amazing for them. I have been reading lots of trip reports, and getting all kinds of ideas. Probably too many ideas for three days, but it's fun to imagine anyway! I am looking forward to reading about your trip as it unfolds. Thanks for sharing it!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Thanks for reading! Heading over to your TR...love the Wish Trip reports!!

True Disney fans simply must watch this video for a good laugh...and a few tears of pure Disney joy!

I'm in a Disney shopping RUT

This is usually the point of the year that I start going nuts buying stuff for Disney. But I think that I officially own everything I need: Multiple pairs of Crocs (check), Bagallinni (check), O2 Cool Personal Misters (check), DSLR and all the bells and whistles (check).

I can't find anything to buy and shouldn't I be excited about that in this economy? Nope...I'm disappointed. I truly need help!

Thanks Heather. Little embarrassed posting my little house after seeing some of the huge houses you guys have but hey...it's mine

Ok, the video kept freezing for you too? I thought it was my work computer trying to discourage me from going on YouTube

 

[Lady Lallie]

I can't get on YouTube at work but is that the one I posted on Facebook of the family dancing to Life is a Highway?

That is the BEST video EVER.

I have a few things I need...could you pick them up for me?
