[WedgieSock]

Big Top Souvenirs opened today!!

Check out these pics AND the new cupcakes!!!!!! YUM

Thanks for that link! Can't wait to go

Mannequins at the end were slightly creepy..... Looks so awesome though! I can't wait and cotton candy cupcakes look yummy! I wonder how I'm going to fit all these cupcakes in....

Well got my Disney fix! Went to see Finding Nemo in 3D. We made it through about 70-75 min of it before my daughter was too restless and we had to go. For the sake of the other paying movie goers- but we had a great time!

Ummmm some of them looked like they had yellow jaundice

I try not to complain too much however, I do feel Disney does have the ability and resources to make a less creepy jaundiced mannequin!!! I mean they make these audio animatronics that I swear are real!!!

Isn't that the best???

I have another food question. Which restaurant would you choose between Citricos and Narcoossee? Have you any experience with these restaurants?

 

[ember303]

We will be there 9-19. POR

O.K. I am obviously obsessing over random stuff and in turn finding all kinds of neat stuff.

One to two words to sum up your weekend.

Exhausting!

Just too much going on. Taking a personal day today. I get 4 personal days. I try to use 1 per quarter and I try to use them just for me - mental health days to do whatever makes me feel last stressed. Though come to think of it, last quarter I used it to clean the freezers after the week long power outage. No wonder I need this.

And I know it's only the first day of the quarter but as far as I'm concerned, I really only have to get through 63 days. I have a two week vacation and then we're into the holidays. Dec will be a breeze.

We've been trying to schedule Citricos due to its impressive beverage list. But I don't think it will fit.

Love it - great find. I have Mouseforless on my favorites list but never looked at the trip planning guides. Thanks for sharing.

Baseball

Last weekend of regular season and Chipper Jones retiring. My girl walked the field with her Girl Scout troop to honour him. So, all I've done is either watch baseball, talk about it, make banners for baseball, tye-dye t-shirts for baseball, cry for baseball etc etc

60 days! Hang in there, fellow December Disney friends!!

 

[molitva]

73 days 'till disney! I'm still waiting on that last TBA CP narrarator to be announced. I already have a CP package booked for 12/15, but if the TBA is who I want it to be for 12/19, I'm going to have to see if I can swap dates (not too sure since I think the booking is non-refundable) or book another package or just try to do it standby. It's our last day at Disney and we're not spending that night on property, so this TBA is an important announcement for our plans!

And in other news, Happy October! The next 2 months will fly by I think. For December, I'm taking a week off of work for Disney and then the day after we return home from Disney, I'm flying home (PA) to spend Christmas with my family. I'm already starting to stress about missing half a month's worth of work. They don't seem to scale back your workload here, so I'll have the same amount of work but half the time to complete it in.

Things to look forward to before Disney:
October: Trip home to PA to see real fall foliage; Halloween
November: Mickey mail, Thanksgiving
December: packing and then Disney!!
