5 weeks!!!!

In celebration I went to my 2nd home...commonly called Target. The glowsticks are all out so I bought an additional 5 tubes (can never have enough glow sticks!!!) We like to hand them out to other kids who are looking like they need something to distract them! I also got a cheap Happy Birthday banner for a dollar and a glittery "6" candle.

Anyone have any suggestions for hanging up the banner? Should I get some of that putty we used to use in our dorm rooms?

That is such a cute picture! Love it!

Ahhh, that puddy. That is probably what I would do, quick & easy! Or you could hang it in the window too to decorate.

Dorm room putty! I forgot about that stuff! That's how I hung up all of my 90210 posters in my room. Now I am so old that there is already a remake of the show I had up on my dorm walls!

I had the craziest day at work yesterday. I ended up getting home at 9:30 last night So in the middle of the insanity I threw on my WISHES CD, went to my Happy Place and thought...5 more weeks...5 more weeks!

But today is a new day and I only have 4 weeks and 6 days

Back to my Happy Place

 

[Lady Lallie]

Love the 90210 poster!

Love the 90210 poster!

That is hilarious! I think I did have that poster or a smaller version of it! I used to pull pictures out of magazines and hang them all over my closet door at home.

I do that at work when I am stressing! I listen to DIS radio on my iphone with one ear bud in so I can at least hear if my phone rings or if someone is talking to me. I can't wait to buy some park cd's on my trip! Only you guys get why Disney music would cheer me up/destress me. Sorry you had such a long, bad day!

Happy Sunday!!! We are now at T minus 32 days!

We had a busy weekend. On Sat, Aisling and I did some running around, went out for a girls breakfast (where I resisted the deLISH sound pumpkin pancakes for a boring omlette!) Then we were off to dance class. When Aisling came out of dance...she looked drunk. She was exhausted. we came home and she slept all afternoon. Should have realized that she was getting sick. We had dinner plans with my cousins. They are building a house in NH so we went to see the house. We made a fab dinner and brought it with us as a thank you (my cousin is a contractor and when the outlet to my pool filter went dead over the summer...he fixed it at no cost).

We had planned dinner and a Wii tournament. One game into Wii Bowling...Aisling was screaming in pain. She had a headache and stomach ache and was burning up. By the time we got home...she had a 102.2 temp.

She was up all night but got up this morning begging to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. i told her that if she could make it though Mass okay...we could go. She made it through Church so we went to see the movie this afternoon. It was very cute.

In between Church and the movie...I ran to Target for some undercover "Santa" shopping. Aisling has seen a Princess set the other day that went on the list so I figured I better get it now. Toy Story Mania for Wii was also released this week. Both things you KNOW are going to sell out closer to Christmas...so I went and got them now

Now just a quick trip down to AG Place and Santa will be all done his Christmas shopping (I pick up little presents throughout the year so that the end of the year isn't one giant sticker shock!)

Continuing on with my daily plan updates: Here is the plan for Day #2

This is technically the day we added on. If you remember, our original plan was to skip DHS entirely. We aren't getting park hoppers this trip. The only must do for Aisling at DHS is TSM. We've done the shows a lot and I'm not brave enough for her to try ToT and RnRC yet. She wants to go on them but we'll see I'm afraid of her freaking out!

Sadly, Fantasmic is not showing this night. Which makes it even stranger that when I added on the day about 75-80 days out...i wasn't able to get a decent ADR for Sci Fi that day.

Let me say that DHS is my least favorite park. Because of that...we really haven't eaten TS there. Randy and I ate at Mama Melrose's years ago and it was terrible. With Aisling, we always end up at Pizza Planet. During the DISmeet, we ate at Sci Fi and I was pleasantly surprised. I've decided to stick with what I know for this trip.

BUT the only time I could get ALL DAY was a 2pm lunch when i first booked it I took it hoping to get a better time. I checked a couple of weeks later and still no dinner times but they had a 1pm lunch. So I switched it. I've checked a couple of times since then and nothing better came along. Again...really odd since there is no Fantasmic!

I noticed on Kathy's TR yesterday that she was able to change her times at DHS this week so I checked...Sure enough...they had a 5pm time Early for dinner and this means that we won't be taking a break mid afternoon but that's ok. We'll hang out at the park all day, eat dinner, and then head back to the hotel for early night.

I really don't have much of a game plan for the day...other than I'm hoping to be at rope drop. Really hoping that we can grab TSM fast passes, hit the standby line and be able to save our passes for later in the day. Let's hope it works!!!

This is what Aisling will be wearing

With these bows

I didn't make it...another DISer did. I won it on a site that must not be named

Well there you have it...our day 2 plans.

I love the Princess Dolls...though where is Mulan? Poor Mulan is missing.

Toy Story Mania for the Wii is so much fun. Marc, BIL, FSIL and I were playing last night. Too much fun!

I love Aisling's outfit, it's so beautiful. I need to have a kid so I can sew clothes. It's no fun when you don't have any to model them.

Mulan got the boot for Tiana. We actually have Mulan and Tink "barbie" dolls already so it works in our favor! I can imagine the parties we are going to have now that we have the whole gang!

Oh I'm glad the game is fun. It looks so fun. I want to play it now. One problem with Christmas shopping early!!!!

I'm actually going to have a matching Minnie as Malificent Tshirt for DHS day. The outfit is GORGEOUS. I wish I had that much talent. I just don't have the discipline to practice to get any better at sewing!!

Be careful what you wish for on the kid front

I hope Aisling is feeling better!

Wow on the Christmas shopping! I thought I was an early shopper! I will have to get TSM for Wii - I forgot that it was coming out soon.

Jordan rode TOT when she was a little over four and again at age 5 and was fine both times. I just explained that the pre-show stuff was just pretend and that she could close her eyes if she didn't like it. She loves the falling part. Have you ever done the Animation Academy? We really enjoyed that on our last trip. If you ever need another DHS restaurant suggestion, we really liked 50's Prime Time Cafe. The food was very good with large portions and the atmosphere is fun!

Aisling is doing ok. She woke up sining Mamma Mia so off to school she went. I hope she lasts!

Black Friday is when I usually wrap up all of my shopping (no pun intended). My family is so spread around that we celebrate early December with most of my family. The only people I can give presents to ON Christmas are Aisling and my inlaws

Aisling ran through the Animation Academy last time. There was a huge wait for the art lesson so we didn't do that. She enjoys the Movie Ride and the Backlot Tour so we'll do those. She LIKES the shows...don't get me wrong but if I had to pick a park to skip...this is definitely it. We haven't tried 50s Prime Time yet. I toyed with that for this trip but I thought she might think the car thing was pretty cool. And I didn't want to make a poodle (Pluto) skirt and you MUST wear that to 50s PT I'm sure we'll do ToT this year. I'm still nervous about RnRC. It really slams your head around. But Randy wants to take her on it so I'm sure I'll lose that battle
