Okay folks! When every person goes to Disney they get some Disney momentums. Over the years, I have collected tons of Disney things that still reside around our house. Here are quite a few examples:

To describe every single year, every single night before Disney, words cannot do justice to describe. So, instead, I have chosen some dialogue of the past nights to describe it.
"WHERE'S MY SOCK?"
"WHERE ARE MY SHOES?"
"HAVE YOU SEEN MY BOOK?"
"WHERE'S MY POWER-CORD?"
"WHERE'S MY TOOTHBRUSH?"
"WHERE'S MY SHIRT WITH THE PINK FLOWER ON IT?" (obviously me)
"CRAP I FORGOT TO GET A SKIRT!" (once again obviously me)
"WHERE'S MY CELL PHONE CHARGER?"
"DANGIT MY CELL PHONE'S DEAD?"
"DANGIT MY CELL PHONE IS DEAD AND MISSING!"
"WHERE THE CRAP IS THAT SMALL BOTTLE OF HAND SANITIZER?"
"WHERE'RE THE TICKETS??"
After that lovely dialogue montage (minus the many choice words), my dad and I made a vow that our next Disney trip would not be like that. We refused to do that and put on a show for our neighbors (Dad's house is a townhouse). So, we kept telling each other that as the months drew nearer to our trip. Now, most people would do actions to make sure they kept these vows and do not end up in stressful situations. Now, like I said, that is most people. But this trip report is not about most people, it is about us. And how bad we are at keeping that vow.
It is now 9:28 and I finally finished packing 45 minutes ago.
This our dialogue montage of tonight.
"WHERE'S MY CELL PHONE CHARGER?"
"WHERE'D MY BOOK GO?"
"I'M OUT OF BATTERIES!"
"WHERE'D WE PUT THAT DVD?"
"WHERE'RE MY CROCS?" I'm sure our neighbors were in hysterics after that one.
Now let's rewind back a bit, to this afternoon when I came home from school. I literally jetted through the door and gathered up clothes and toiletries and junk. I laid them all out on the table to be packed up into your's truly's suitcase.
Picture071.jpg

So, I'm going into the storage room (I'm at mom's house at the moment, dad was still at work) looking for my pink duffel bag. I dig up my red suitcase, no pink duffel bag; I dig up my mom's black suitcase, no pink duffel bag; pink duffel bag! Oh wait, no, that's my grandpa's duffel bag (it's brown). NO PINK DUFFEL TO BE FOUND! CRAP!
So as I run around searching every inch of the house, it hits me. My pink duffel bag is at dad's house. Wonderful. So I take everything that I need and plop it into a laundry basket. After grabbing everything, I then got a power bar to burst my energy so I could stay awake because I was extremely tired. I then took a quick shower and made sure I had everything. Then I decided to pack my carry on bag. I got the POTC: AWE DVD, the third HP book, and a large bag of sour patch kids (YUMMO!)

If only there was a drooling smiley.
After grabbing my carry on stuff, I sat down on the couch and mentally went over my checklist. I had everything. So, my dad came over and drove me to his house with my stuff. Upon getting there, I pack everything in my duffel bag. Then, I ask my dad if he has everything. He triple checks his list and is sure he has everything. He hands me the list to make sure I have everything. I do, and I notice something. A few things are missing, so I tell him. He claims to have put them on there, but I still insist that they are not there. Now, you should know, we do not have a printer at our house. My dad has to use the one from work, 45 mins away. He takes back the list and overlooks it, and that is when it hits him. HE FORGOT TO PRINT THE SECOND PAGE!:scared1: So he opens up the document and overlooks it. So our perfectly planned evening turns into a chicken run. Thus, creating our dialogue montage. He was saying all of them, except for the crocs comment. That was me. :teeth:
So we are finally all packed and we, by now, are STARVING! So guess what I had for dinner. My dad, the health nut, made us have sugar covered strawberries. Best dinner by far. ;) The grilled steak was fairly good, the Parmesan crusted chicken over pasta was yummy, but the sugar covered strawberries was by far the best! ;)
So after all of that I sat down on the couch and began to write my triple update day. While also occasionally taking breaks to watch Gilmore Girls and Lost.
Now, I'd like to tie up some loose ends for y'all.
At 6:15 I will wake up and get changed. We'll eat, get ready, and then take a cab to the airport at 6:55.

Then I will fly to Disney world at 8:55. First, we will be staying at Pop century for two days (love that place!) and then on to the Boardwalk for the rest of our trip!
So, I'd like to say from my dad and I, See y'all after Spring Break!


QPN (Quick Personal Notes):
DIS Mama: You keep those limeys (or blondies) in check grammatically and kindly.
Jenny: You'll get lotsa, lotsa texts and piccys.


Goodbye my loyal readers!
 

A little belated, but have a great time! :thumbsup2




By the way... I have that castle play set! I love puting Mickey on the train :goodvibes
 
Not sure if it was a joke or not, but you would normally say 'I resent that remark' Gosh DIS Mama, I'm almost frightened to see what other genetic traits I may inherit.
Yep, just a joke...kinda means i agree with you!!!
