<--has decided she needs the Enchanted Castle cup with the signature punch at BOG. Who's with me?

Already on my list!

 

[DisneyDreamerMN]

I shouldn't laugh ... but I will - just a little Nothing worse than wanting to change and you can't for reasons beyond your control.

HA it's OK to laugh....Maybe I should take it as a sign? I dunno. I will try again tomorrow when I get home.

On a brighter note, I was able to book a Keys to the Kingdom tour. So excited for this

 

[DisneyDreamerMN]

Look
2 Months to go!

We are at the two month mark... Whooohooooo getting closer.

Woohoo!

Dunno if this effects any of the subbers on this thread, but Olivia Newton John is no longer scheduled as a narrator of the CP this year - just tweeted by stitchkingdom. just FYI

Interesting! I have a package booked for the dates she was there. Now my trip spans both " tba" slots. Bah!

 

[ksromack]

Wow! Did you guys see how much that BOG Enchanted Cup was going to be? $18.99! Imagine having 3 little daughters that wanted one. $60 for cups that aren't even refillable (I imagine, can't say for sure).

I'm glad I only have one daughter. Of course, I want one too, but we'll only be buying one. We'll have to duke it out later!

Good morning and happy Tuesday. I had yesterday off; this morning was a struggle.

I bought a pair of sneakers this weekend and started to break them in for Disney. I plan on switching between 2 pairs. I noticed, with the new pair, one spot that either needs to stretch or will need a preventive band-aid. So I went and bought band-aids and started an official "Disney box".

I also made some mousekeeping tip envelopes. I want to get some $1's soon and seal them up They make me feel like the trip really is just around the corner.

Additionally, DBF and I watched Snow White this weekend. We themed it by drinking hot apple cider and opened a fresh jar of apple butter. Yum yum!

Quick question: Do you wear sunglasses in the park? Yes, no, or waiting on the weather to decide? I hate squinting (and I do a lot if there's any sun) but I also don't want to constantly be messing with them as we go in/out doors and on rides. If I decide to wear some, I need to go buy a new pair

I am definitely a sunglasses girl. I carried a Vera crossbody last year that they fit in when I went indoors. Not sure what I am carrying this year, but I will have to figure something out.

I cant believe now you have both TBA narrators!! That is crazy. Although I guess it is double the chance to get your guy.

 

[Valgoof]

Of course DH says "why don't we change our resort to WL for the whole week" on the night the site is down.

This is something we have been kicking around for a month so it sucks not being able to call and change the reservation. Who knows, they may not even have a courtyard view available anymore.

Yay for the whole week at WL!!!!! The good news is, the site is down for everyone so no one can steal your room from you today while you wait.

Have you tried moleskin? I find it generally stays in place better than bandaids. One side has a backing that gets peeled off to reveal the sticky part that attaches to your skin. And you can cut it to the size & shape needed.

Wearing sunglasses depends on my mood & the weather. At home I wear them all the time. On vacation they sometimes get in my way looking through the viewfinder of my camera. And in the summer at WDW it is hot and humid and they feel icky. Plus I don't want to end up with raccoon eyes if I'm outside for a long stretch of time When I do wear them, I just flip them on top of my head or into a side pocket of my bag when we go inside a ride/attraction

She was going to bring me back to a teenager watching her Physical video.
Probably better for my wife and kids not having to watch me drool .

haha yeah, I give up. It will be whoever it will be (but secretly have my fingers crossed that this somehow increases the chances of Olmos)

I bought some moleskin foam a few months back and I found it to be almost too thick. Is all moleskin foam or did I just buy a special kind? I will definitely try it though, as the spot of concern now might be a spot that the foam would work better on than the last time I tried.

What, like real moleskin? I love moles

That takes me back! I was a huge Xanadu fan, used to act it out and wish I was in the movie

I'm all about the baseball caps. Not only does it block the Sun, but it is good for the rain and it can't break (more importantly, it covers up when I have a bad/bed hair day ). Though, in Dec, you will occassionally see me in a Santa hat.

BDLsgal wears perscription glasses , though. And she keeps a hard case to store them in when we are on rides.

Mine is not foam, more like a bandage (the thickness is more than a bandaid but less than an ace bandage). What we use is a roll of it that we cut to fit the size we need. Similar to this:

Ha ha! I wonder where they come up with names of things sometimes. I'm now picturing people walking around with fur hanging out of the backs of their shoes LOL Poor moles

Oh man.... I need some of this. But I have a cat who "loves" moles....... she leaves one by our back door several times a year....... this might not end well!

Thanks for this discussion though. It reminded me to pick some up for our trip. I usually don't have much trouble, but my husband gets terrible blisters and will be happy to have some I think.

Great point! I will be rushing home after work and getting everything ready in front of me to make the call. Wondering if I should call to book the 3 days at WL and then have them cancel POFQ at the same time or if I should book online for the 3 nights and call to cancel POFQ. Will they just refund my depost for POFQ or will they just apply it to WL if I call? Sorry for all the questions!

If both are a package or both a room only, they should apply it to WL. If you are switching between package and room only, they will refund it.

Did you have free dining or anything?
