[SAT887]

We were suppose to leave on our vacation next Thursday at 6am. Just got information that my oldest DS has graduation stuff going on Thursday..and he cannot miss it Would have really been nice to know this in advance. We won't be able to leave until 11am..just soo bummed. Anyone have any spare I could really really use some...

that's no fun... I guess graduation is kinda important though I'm sure you will get plenty of pixie dust all over on vacation!

That stinks. Look on the bright side - at least its only 6 hours. It would have really been bad if it was longer!

Haha yep. I even put a happy spin on it..lmao. Thankful that we are driving because if we would have been flying..that would be an issue..lol

Yep Thankfully..I don't have anything planned the day we arrive..so it will be ok..

Are you driving? How far is it from MN??

 

[Wendimn]

Are you driving? How far is it from MN??

Yep..we are driving 24 hours total. We will drive as much as we can on Thursday..spend the night at a hotel and then finish up on Friday. Looking like 12 hours each day.

That sounds about the same as it is from here. We have always wanted to try it, but for some reason we always end up flying. You will have to let me know how you make out!

I would much rather fly..lol..but in this case..guess it is good we are driving. I don't think rescheduling a flight would have been easy.. We are use to driving..we drove last Spring to Arizona..that was about 28hours I think? Just the way we roll..lmao..

I am very curious about these 24hr drivers we are in the northeast and would love not to fly. It's just exhausting with little kids - DH and I are exhausted by the end trying to keep everything good. I know how much people don't enjoy loud kids, seat kicking etc (we've managed very well the past three years except one home where my daughter had gotten a stomach bug)

Driving *almost* sounds relaxing.

 

[cybrkitn]

I really do hope this gets sorted out... I had reported getting several pics on my pp card # that didn't belong to us... and a few of ours are missing too. Wouldn't it be something if these are yours?? LOL.. (just in case, it's a family of about 3-4 adults and two kids)

Oh, we have all of our photos (we had 4 adults and DS10 in our party). They're already on the PhotoPass web site, all 156 of them. We just can't get the CD that they are supposed to go on b/c we never got the Promo Code. The CM's never fully explained how it worked and how to get the CD. I had to read the small, tiny fine print on the back of the PhotoPass+ card once I got home in order to find out that we needed a promo code.

Haha...it is and it isn't. We are usually exhausted when we are done. My kids are 17 and 9..so they keep themselves occupied for the most part and are use to us taking long trips..lol

 

[cybrkitn]

Me too! I actually took a photo of my score since just my mom & I were riding, and I wanted proof

Would that score be all 9's across? My mom got that on, I think, our first time on it. The rest of us were getting scores in the 100k+ area.

Yes. I was thinking I had a broken laser
Then the next day I played against DD and got like 850,000 points so I must have accidentally figured out which targets to hit. Still can't tell you which ones though. I'll have to pay more attention next time. Is that a good reason to schedule my next trip?

 

[Wendimn]

We aren't leaving until next Thursday..lol..but I doubt I will have time to post much in here..once we get there. If anyone wants to follow me on Twitter..my name there is: WendiMN. Hopefully I will post updates and pics there..if I remember..

Would love to follow anyone else too. I have enjoyed the vacation tweets so far

Yeah I can see that. Our travel day started at us waking up at 2am, getting the kids up at 2:30 and out the door at 3am--- travel 2.5 hrs to the airport, 2 hours before plane, 3 hrs on plane, and then by the time we get luggage, rental, COFFEE! And to WDW it's been 9-10 hours

I had to try and get my iPhone working prior to vacation and never got twitter up and running. Still haven't. I was too busy on vacation to do any of that anyway I figured close to the end of the month I will contribute to out TR thread and might do a TR myself

 

[sokerfrog]

I have been so busy at work!!!

I think I have everything under control now, though. Whew!

I think the only thing I wanted to do was print out my list of counter service places and snacks I wanted to try. Oh, and look up cheats on Toy Story Mania. Haha! Are there any for Buzz Lightyear?

I don't know the point total, but in the first room, shoot the inside palm of the robot on the left side of the car. You can rack up quite a few points right off the bat!

I took a phot of mine too and posted to Facebook promptly! Haha

 

[M&MGirl1]

I wonder if I could upload that CD of stock photos to one of those sites....

Yes, you can! I've done that for more than one Disney album!

I replied to the wrong quote earlier. What I wanted to say is that I took a picture of mine too! Lol
