Great dress! Abby was asking how dressed people get for Cali Grill...I just sent her a link to your picture.

FYI - It is not necessary to dress up at WDW for anything short of V&A. I don't dress up more than jeans or capris no matter where we're eating. Change my shoes and put on a cute top, thats it. We've done Kouzzina, Party for the Senses and FF Chef's Table. For FF I'm pretty sure I wore dressy shorts. You can dress up if you want to, but plenty of people don't.

I finally upgraded my phone, got the new phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note II yesterday, which means I could download the TouringPlans app finally! Been loving playing with Touringplans all day making customized plans. I already had an idea of what I wanted to hit and the order (mostly we don't want to zig-zag too much other than the FP runner since we're used to a much smaller park), but its awesome to see time allotments all scheduled out for us. Wish there was a way to input our Pirate's League appointment, etc, and I hit a few glitches but other than that its awesome.
On our AK day I put in we wanted to arrive at 9a but for some reason it still has me arriving at 1:30a and waiting for 400 some-odd minutes. :confused3 I'm dedicated to getting a lot done but not waking up and taking my family to the gate at 1:30a. :lmao:

In real life, it seems this is just the week for kids to get sick, because so many of my friends kids are sick (and they live far away) and DS5 woke up with a nasty cough today, so I kept him home and just had him rest all day so he could go trick or treating.

For Pirates League use the "Break" feature. Tell it your staying inside the park and set the times.

Here's the form to report TP bugs.

Oooh!!! We love those who haven't told the kids yet! Adds to the excitment. You do realise from now on its how do WE tell the kids, not how do YOU tell the kids :rotfl:

Funny! We told the kids last night because "someone" was too excited to keep quiet!:rotfl:

Mom2Cody06 and all others who pre ordered photopass plus at $169 - I called and gave them my order number and they are crediting my card $20.. Woo!! This is why I love you guys!

:dance3:

This is why I, too love it here!!! I wouldn't know about any of these things from anywhere else!

Yeah!!! :yay: Welcome, officially!

Thank you! So excited to officially be here!!! :banana:

Sweet! Welcome to this thread permanently ... aren't you the OP on the December thread over on the Resorts board?

Thank you! So happy to permanently be here. Yes, that was probably me! I have been a single mom for almost 4 years and had HOPED beyond hope that nothing would get in the way of trip for my girls and I in 2011...and that didn't happen.:sad: So, in 2011 I decided nothing would keep us from going in 2012, which prompted the beginning of that thread a year ago but, under very different circumstances. I had been dating a new guy for about 6 months and was still planning on a 2012 for just the girls and I. BUT...the year has been full of ups and downs...the biggest one being that DBF and his DS have moved in...we have a LONG list of things we are looking so forward to doing together...but, decided that starting with a family trip...as a family of 6...would be our first priority! It was supposed to be a surprize but, he is so excited that HE is the one who had to spill the beans last night!:rotfl: I love that he is so excited and I am so exited to start the planning!!!

I'm 10 pages behind today and am just reading this..... I'm so :sad: !

Let's think of something fun......we're 38 days out. That's fun. I'm going to Chicago for the weekend and will be looking for a Disney outlet of some sort.....supposed to be one in Illinois. I know, big state, right? :sad2: I have 31 items in my shopping cart at the Disney Store but will probably end up buying less than half of them. It just makes me feel happy to see them there (I think those Tinkerbell pjs would look better under my pillow, though)!

I don't know why, but I had to laugh when I read that you have 31 items in your cart! :rotfl:
I frequently put things in my cart and then either go back and remove most of them or talk myself down & never purchase any of them

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

When making an ADR for December, we are now only ONE click away! :dance3:

In 30 pages, we will be at PART FOUR of this thread.

Tomorrow, we can all say "NEXT MONTH." :woohoo:

In two months, we can all say, "LAST MONTH." :(

I am just ignoring your last comment!
At least there's Christmas after our trip so I'm hoping the post-trip blahs stay away


Yay!!! We're going to Disney next month - 5 weeks exactly from today!!!! :cheer2: :banana: :cheer2:
I've been randomly texting my parents WDW photos to distract them from the whole not having power thing

I love how our group keeps growing and growing! Welcome to all the newcomers!

I had my appointment on tuesday. I HAD to get my color (was starting to look like a skunk). I went a couple shades lighter over the summer so I returned to my natural color this time.....and boy does it look dark! :scared1: I should have gotten a more stylish cut but I opted for just getting 2 inches cut off the ends and a few long layers, like I had previously. I wish I had style. :laughing:

I already warned hubby we were getting the PP+ and that we would be stopping for photos at many icons during our trip. He's used to it and knows how important photos are to me. He'll roll his eyes and pretend he hates it but truthfully, he doesn't mind. I've gotten pretty good at the "self portraits" but they aren't the most flattering so he'll be happy to have some pictures where his head doesn't take up the entire frame. :rotfl2:

I like to think of it as "supporting".....not "enabling". ::yes::

We're at 41 days.....and if I let myself do it, I could tend to go into panic mode. I still need to tie-dye my shirts, make my wreath, figure out my tree, and visualize christmas decorations. I really want a santa mickey and minnie too........and a million other things at the disney store. Oh, and I still have to get my house in order and get it all decorated too! :faint: I won't do that until Thanksgiving weekend...but shoot, then we're at less than 2 weeks! :faint:

I think your dad wanted YOU to pay for the meal. :rotfl:

You sound like me, cover the gray & just a simple cut/trim. I had mine done last week. I have curly hair and a wash & go mentality so never opt for a "real" cut that isn't easy. Maybe one day

I suspect that the next few weeks are going to fly by :car:

Excuse the brown boots and knee socks. I was wearing those with my jeans today. I plan on wearing black tights (gotta suck in that tummy pooch), black leather knee-high boots, and turquoise statement earrings. The dress has a beige lining, and it is black lace all over, with leather cuffs on the sleeve. DH approves. :thumbsup2

Love the dress!! I can totally see it all dolled up with boots & jewelry :-)

So it's like 1 am and another no sleep night.... DD1 is sick (last night throwing up) and so upset. It's nights like these I want to curl up in her crib and sleep with her.. Yesterday 90 of sleep looking to beat that # today!!

The thing that sucks is I'm literally too tired to do much of anything...

Aww, I hope your sweet baby feels better soon :goodvibes:

That is so sweet that your DBF is so excited for your new family to have a family vacation :-)
Congrats and have a wonderful trip!!
 
Morning all!

Back with power, finally got to go home last night.

Also, ONE MONTH!

I'm getting married, and going to WDW next month.

What an awesome thing to be able to say.

:cool1::cool1::cool1:
 
I would like to send a little pixie dust to our East coast kids; if you and your little ones could not enjoy Halloween please let me know and the Rauchbauer family would like to send a little something to the little ones.
 
Good morning roll callers!

So I got 4 or so hours of sleep! :yay: thanks for the well wishes for DD - it seems that my DD3 going to pre k has turned her into a germ factory!!

So DH has a day off and he gets to help with the little grump :) Tonight is our family movie night and DH actually wants to plan some of our Dec trip!! Woo!

I was thinking the same thing!
 
It was sad here in northeast Philly, I only got a handful of trick or treaters. I have so much candy left over, my babies are too small for candy. I will be going to New York today to help the Red Cross, there power is still down all over. I will be over there for a week leaving the baby's with my sister while I got out and help. So happy I know the general manager at my local Walmart and he is donating 5,000 worth of food and supplies, so I will be taking that up there as well. Taking all the rest of my candy and making 100 or so trick or treat bags so when I see a little kid I can give them one. Hope everyone enjoys there weekend. One more month right!
