Apparently it works fine for Disney GC. I'll be trying it in a bit so I'll let you know how it worked.

Wonderful! How is the foot doing?

Well, Mickey is even helping me take care of my poor pup. She got her cast off today and everything is going well (whew). Staples come out the day before we leave! Anyway, I had run out of turkey (finally!) that I was using to hide her giant pills in, cheese won't work fool her any more, and I looked in the freezer and found a bag of Mickey Head chicken nuggets! Yay Mickey! She gulped them all right down.:thumbsup2

Yay for Mickey nuggets! And I'm glad she is doing okay!
 
Oh man. I have a friend leaving in the morning and I just tried to help her un-nut her schedule. She is trying to do way, way too much IMO. I tried to help and told her no matter what, that if they got tired or one of the kids was going to have a melt down, to just take a break. Miss something. It's worth it.

I offered to help months ago and I think it just crept up on her and smacked her in the face. I really hope they can just have a good time, but I'm worried.
 

Please let me know if it does. I was just at target last night but I will gladly go back if the coupon works! I got dh the yoda holiday shirt as well as a jack skellington shirt. And they were on sale! :)
Yep, it worked. I gave the checkout lady the GC and coupon, and she handed me a $10 Target gift card. I paid with the Red Card, checked the receipt and the GC was $48.00.:thumbsup2 They're going to be pretty tired of me after I go down to the desk at the YC and say, "Hey, can you please put these 20 GC on my account?" But, for 24% off everything we eat and buy, I'm willing to do it.

The foot is doing alright, my ECV was waiting for me at Pop when we arrived. It's nice to sit even though I still have small amounts of walking to do, it's better than walking the whole time. We're calling it quits for the night and will be up early to hit the MK. I'm so excited to see FLE!
That's what I do, as well. Lots of times I'll park it in an area where we're going to be in & out of places and I just don't want to deal with it. But it made a HUGE difference for me, once I got over having to rent one in the first place.

I'm happy to hear the pup is doing well. I didn't know there were Mickey Head chicken nuggets.


After I BRIEFLY considered rearranging ALL of our plans to get a ressie at the dessert party on 12/14/12, I called WDW and inquired about doing a dessert party on 12/10 or 12/11. Actually, I had to tell the women on the phone, that YES, you CAN make dessert party ressies on MVMCP nights. She told me you could not...and then realized she was wrong. When she told me there was nothing available for the dates we will be at MK. She offered a Wishes cruise...there is still availability for that. I then asked about the Illuminations cruise. There is no availability right now but, she said to keep checking in case there is a cancellation. I did go to the thread about sharing a cruise...most people on that thread seemed to be "selling" themselves as "adult couples"...I don't think I would seem too appealling to be a party of 6, that includes 3 teens and a tween!:rotfl: But, still hoping to do one of those things.


I will go back to running...and I will stop eating cookies for breakfast...and I will stop dreaming of cinnamon rolls and cupcakes...


You are too funny! Who cares...we'll all be in WDW, where it should be 80 and sunny...and here it will be 30-40 and who know what...sunny, rainy, SNOWY?!?:confused3

I didn't even think of a Wishes cruise! What do they cost? Maybe for the next trip we could do that.

I'd love to go back to dance class but I just can justify the $135 for 10 weeks. I gained 30 pounds since I started dating DBF. Maybe I'll go to yoga and pilates. I have to stop eating the cupcakes and chocolate, and the beer doesn't help either.

We should wear whatever we want next week. Bikinis all around. It was warm when I left this morning. Now it's really cold and windy. Even if it's high 60's that better than the 39 we have here in NYC right now. :beach:
 
Yay for Mickey nuggets! And I'm glad she is doing okay!

I'm happy to hear the pup is doing well. I didn't know there were Mickey Head chicken nuggets.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. :goodvibes
The Mickey Head nuggets are from Costco. DH bought them, kind of surprised me. He may be looking forward to this trip more than anyone!

The cost for the 6 of us for the Wishes cruise cost $292...but, I figured we could just watch from inside MK...and we wouldn't leave the Christmas party to book a cruise. So, I didn't think that was something we'd want to spend so much extra $$$. I'd rather spend the $$$ on the dessert party.
Same here with DBF...he puts bacon on everything!!! He can get away with it...I can not! But, I still will wear the bikini...I actually call it a "mom-kini" the bikini top with the skirty bottom.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. :goodvibes

Thanks for that tip! We love Costco...and will be on the lookout for those!:thumbsup2
 
One and a half days!::cheer2::

I put DD's outfits in labeled Ziplocs tonight, took out what I didn't think she'd need, and practically had to sit on the suitcase to close it! I told her, under no circumstances are you to open that suitcase! LOL

I have one more load of laundry to do. I packed all of DH's undies, and he says he's going commando. :P

The stomach bug is still going around our school. One of the teachers suggested Airborne and Emergen-C, so I'll go out tomorrow to try to find those.
 
I am so excited!!!

My hotel ressie puzzle has finally been completed!! We only decided a few weeks ago to visit over Xmas/New Years week and as a result we had to piece a DVC reservation together over 3 DVC hotels + 1 offsite. I have been slowly whittling away at the reservation trying to limit the # of check ins/out.

I am so happy to say that the final piece fell into place today and we are now at AKV Jambo for the entire time!! We managed to get a Value Studio from Dec 25-29 and a Standard from 29-Jan 6.

I have also been trying to nail down my ADRs. I have been frantically searching the reservation site trying to find some good ones as they pop up. Once the site is back up, I am hoping to post my ADRs so far and get your advice to see if you all can recommend any changes.

Yay!! :banana:

I have a confession to make......

:popcorn:

I made ADRs at Chef Mickey's......not for the food.....not necessarily for the characters......but because I've already made the scrapbook page for it!

*lol* wow, look how far ahead you are. ;)
 
Quick question. I would love to live tweet but I am Canadian and do not feel like paying the crazy rates my carrier charges for US packages and roaming rates.

I understand that the parks actually have free wifi now. Does anyone have any experience using it? Does it work everywhere or just in certain hotspots?

That is great news! And I love AKL :-)
 
Ok, I'll be honest, I haven't caught up completely - I am half way through and I will be back later to read the rest ..... been running errands, doing laundry & getting the house ready for the house sitter ..... we leave tomorrow for our first leg of the journey at about 1pm.

How is the doggie? I take this to mean you haven't found his owner.

No :( I have exhausted every avenue - he is posted on 7 websites dedicated to Lost/Found pets, he's on craigslist, notices at all shelters & vets in the area, posters out ...... and we have driven miles looking for 'Lost Dog' signs. Nothing.

So he is mine now :teeth: :teeth: I love him!

So excited for everyone who is getting ready to go, leaving today, or still there now! Please post a lot so I don't get Post-Disney Depression too badly please!! :rotfl:

Yay you're back!! Just as I'm going lol

Hope DD gets better soon! Thank heaven she came down with it before your trip and not during.

My thoughts exactly!


AND ...........

I'M STILL NOT PACKED :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I have done the same type of thing!!! We were there in 2008 and there was a lady there WITH her scrapbook pages and when the characters came to her table she had them sign her pages instead of an autograph book...don't think that I wasn't taking notes!!!:rotfl:

I did that once with a baseball player. However, in fairness I was scrapping his previous visit to Baltimore - a complete game shutout. And I made a page for him too and had it framed.
