POP CENTURY ... LAST WEEK of SEPT. 07 MEET

saved another $60 on our flights with a SWA internet special. That's a total of $130 credit toward DH's Daytona trip in Feb. Doing the happy dance because I LOVE TO SAVE $$$$$:banana: :cool1: :banana: :cool1:

Gosh I love SW :love: we are also sitting on a boat load of credits, guess I just might have to make the Xmas trip to WDW with my GF :hug: Bonzarella after all :rolleyes1
 
good morning! How is everyone? I was without a internet signal on and off for about 2 weeks so I caught up on the boards when I could but just wasnt the same.;) I was usally on here everyday. I just ordered new internet service so I should be back on here like normal in the next week or so.:cool1:

I hope every one is getting as excited as I am. I am at the 66 day mark. I cant wait to get away from this town for awile. My mom and I got in huge blow up fight over the weekend and we are not talking---not sure whats gonna happen when we all go on the trip...good thing shes riding in another car I guess. MAN, I love her but sometimes she can be intolerable!:headache:

TTYL!
 
:woohoo: Crystal Palace Ressies:woohoo: MNSSHP nite!! Got 'em!! :woohoo:

:wizard: Keep Trying!!

H&Jmom - how are things going planning wise for your mom? Everything good? I just noticed you're from Terre Haute! DH went to Rose Hulman!! We're Hoosiers!! (I'm a Ball U grad!)

us too! 9/21 at 5:45....
 

Thats soo cool that you are familiar with Terre Haute! Not too many people say oh yeah Iv been there:lmao:
Planning is going well...I reserved her a Power chair from a offsite company and requested a handicap room on the first floor for her. She and I are not getting along at this moment but Im sure we will be okay before the trip-atleast I hope so.I sure dont want to spend my vacation with someone that is angry with me;) If thats the case her and my sister can go do there thing and I will stay with my DH and kids. Mom and sister couldnt get rooms at POP so there at Music. Prolly wont see them much anyway unless we meet up at the parks and stuff. thanks for asking.

Congrats on your ressise!

You know, that could be a blessing :rolleyes1
 
I agree with kelliblue - it could be a blessing!! You do all the leg work, and then hopefully you will be able to relax and find peace amongst us!! Speaking from experience - my mom drove me nuts when we invited her - it was nothing like I imagined it - it was so stressful dh took me back to disney to enjoy sans my mom!!

So will have stories to share!!

Times/location have been announced (at least here on the DIS--nothing offical at WDW.com that I could find yet). I know at least a few of us have little ones we were planning on taking to this. Here are the details:

9/13 - 16 Playhouse Disney Live on Tour
9/20 - 23 Imagination Movers
9/27 - 9/30 Choo Choo Soul
10/4 - 10/7 Choo Choo Soul

SHOWTIMES: 10am, 11:15am, 12:15pm, 1:45pm

LOCATION: MGM Coaster Courtyard Concert Stage

Once the park opens, all tickets for the day's concerts will be distributed via a first come/first serve basis at the Coaster Courtyard location.


So, does anyone know where this concert stage is? I read something a few weeks ago about a big tent--think this is the same thing?
 
Thanks for the info on the concerts...I was wondering about them. I need to plan those in on our itenerary.

Keli and eeyore....You are both right about my mom coming along. She actually told me the day we got in the arguement that I could just find someone else to go on the trip with us...I WAS LIKE WHOOO HOOOO! But then she told my sister that she is still going, she just didnt want to be in the same room as me. R U KIDDING! I am the sane one here! I didnt start anything---shes just crazy. I am hoping that they go do there thing and I can stay with My husband and kids...thats how it was originally planned anyway..JUST US, NO ONE ELSE. sorry for venting but I feel like I am planning all this for everyone and no one appreciates it. AND then for my mom to say : I just dont want the same room as Farrah" That ticks me off...If it werent for Farrah you wouldnt have rooms, ADRs, a powerchair...or directions down to Florida, and someone to follow for that matter!!!!

Anyway....Other than that drama ( I HATE DRAMA), I am sooo happy that we are getting so close! I cant wait t o meet all you GREAT people on glow night!

I just love you to pieces :hug: !!!:rotfl: You ARE the younger version of ME *******************************************ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYYYUS . Always trying to make everyone happy :sad2: BULLSHOOT!!. .. I'm sorry but as many times as I have tried to include extended family (bless their hearts ) They have screwed up my idea :rolleyes1 of the perfect vacation . So plan to make the Magic happen for YOUR babies... If the family is lucky, they might get to see that heart warming smile or perfect moment for themselves through the eyes of your little ones:cloud9:







 
Here's a link to the info on the WDW site... not easy to find if you aren't sure where to go

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/specialEvents?id=PlayhouseDisneyInConcertSpecialEventPage


We got to see Doodlebops last year... it'll be fun to see different concert this time :thumbsup2

Thanks for the link! I actually did manage to navigate my way to that page (amazing to anyone who's spent any time on the WDW web site), but didn't see where it listed concert times or venues. I'm sure when they do finally post it, it will agree with the DIS, since folks here have been right on target lately.

How early did you have to get the tickets to see the Doodlebops? I'm considering doing LOMH at the MK one day, then heading over to MGM for Imagination Movers or Choo Choo Soul, but not sure whether I'd be too late to get tickets. We might have been there the same time you were last year, because we almost saw the Doodlebops. (I asked a dozen times, but the kids didn't want to because "they freak us out." Until the last day, when they finally decided they wanted to go--after the final concert had ended. But I'm not bitter or anything. ;) )

hehe... I just talked about that on my trip report... 1st day of doodlebops was a mess... it was the 1st concert ever for LOEMH so it was a mess.... DD and I went back a few days later and got to where we knew the tickets would be (times guide said 1 place but the best place was another... big mess) about 1/2 hour after park opening and scored us some seats for the 1st show...

Best thing to do if you are going to see 1 of the concerts is to go to mgm 1st thing and get your tickets.... but keep in contact w/ me... maybe we can just plan for me to get enough for the both of us since we will be at MGM for at least 1 of the concert days.... at least for Choo Choo Soul.... the 28th I think... not sure what we are doing about imagination movers... may see them 1st day... DD loves PHD so we are trying to get her into 1 of each of the concerts :goodvibes

Farrah adding :grouphug: btdt with my mom - I cant get into it here (as I'm visiting her as a "good daughter" should.. I learned that she has her opinions and I have to look at things thru her eyes... one thing I learned is she doesnt feel needed, so in order to stave off some of her fury (and believe me fury is a nice word, figure deleted the story, itlll be told in person!! lol )

I had to find ways to let her know she was needed - which is not easy...

One way is to share memories with her... my maternal grandma made the best pies (of course that memory is now MY MOM taught grandma how to bake pies... :sad2: ) BUT whenever I bake my yearly rhubarb pie, I call and let her know... its helped to do the memory thing with her...

and to absolutely "let it go" and to not share "personal" things with her.. (esp w/ 2 kids in college, never bring that up, its rubbing it in my brother's face that his kids didnt...":sad2:

Well, I'm sure this is all TMI and hard to communicate online - so suffice it to say -

DISNEY is my happy place... and by inviting my mom (and doing all the planning and getting them directions to drive etc) it was huge stress, I didnt have a sister either!!

So LOOK OUT GLOW PARTY... us Hoosiers have some sharin to do!!
 
You have a BEAUTIFUL Family.:grouphug: . and yes you all look very normal :rotfl:

Thanks for sharing with us ... I can't wait to get our glow on togther, we sure have a great group of peeps

Aw, shucks. You're so sweet. I don't think we'll have trouble with Choo Choo Soul, since they fall in the middle of our trip, and I'm sure we'll be at MGM for am EMH on 9/29 (maybe we could pick up tickets for you?;) ). It's Imagination Movers I'm not sure about. 9/23 is their last concert, but it's scheduled to be our first park day, so we pretty much have to do LOMH at MK. Once there, I'm not sure I'll be able to get the kids out, especially since it's our first day and ds is not as excited about IM as he is about CCS. Sounds like you're in a similar situation, with a 9/22 arrival. We'll see how it all works out.

And Farrah, I forgot to say something yesterday but :grouphug: for you. If I were you, I wouldn't work too hard to mend fences with your mom before the trip (not that that should be your responsibility anyway). If she's refusing to be in the same room with you, I think you just got a YOAMD gift of getting your vacation back--you know, the one you planned before everybody else hijacked it. She'll have fun with your sister and dn, you'll have fun with your family, and you can get back to "normal," whatever that is, when you get back. Good luck!
 
Thanks guys for all your support! I did speak with my mother yesterday and we both agreed to disagree..and that is that. I plan on spending my vacation with my Husband and kids (we have foster kids threw out the year so Its very seldom that its just us and OUR kids). I do hope to spend some time with my DN, as this is her first time visiting the world and probably her last, But as for mom and sister ...I could care less. If we see them then GREAT but if not...well.. Ill be okay with that.:hippie:

HEY YOU COMPUTER EXPERTS:surfweb: .....I have a question..pls help me figure this out
My laptop is brand new, Its a HP pavillion dv9000....Now I know NOTHING about computers, But I my computer has some type of card built in that picks up other peoples signal (like my neighbor and even a lady 3 blocks down the road), I can get online useing there internet service. So my question is when I get to the world will it pick up a signal? I know you can purchase internet for 9.99 per 24 hours but since I pick up signals will I just be able to get online without paying the fee? Just wondering.

TIA,
Farrah

you can always pick up a signal.... if it has secured access you have can't actually use it... otherwise you would be able to use their access without a password....

My guess... and it's just a guess as I just got a laptop too so I haven't used one at the world.... is that disney's will be password protected so they have to give you the password and possibly an ID to use so they can keep track of your usage.... but we'll see if anyone has acutally done it yet
