DMM, are you feeling better today? I think you have just been through a little too much and need to just take it easy.

i'm feeling a lot better, i'm almost positive it was just all the lifting i did during the day in the playroom. i feel fine doing it, but it usually hits me later in the day.

I'm waiting for Gabriels doc to call me back, i have to make an appt. for him for his 15month and they were busy when i last called. YIKES!

Hey Michelle - happen to know where you might get something 'different' - I want a cooler one. I was gonna just go to Concierge (ahem.... Guest Services, why they changed it is beyond me!) at POP!

okay don't tell anyone i just said this! hahah!
Dh and I used to visit EVERY guest services window with our IDs and just keep saying we lost our ticket, so that we could see all the designs and of course once DH got Minnie, so he 'accidently' tore it on the way to the gate and then put it in the ticket feeder and the guy escorted him to Guest services to get a new one! hahah..he got Mickey. This was at MGM. EPCOT, usually has the ones from the current celebration i think we had like 6 each in that calendar year! haahah!

Okay I am confused. So I order my APs now and get them in the mail. OR I wait and buy them at guest services? And if I tear it, I just get a new one. It is not, you tore it so you have to buy a new one?

morning real quick! not sure how long i will be on today! We went to the grocer this morning and then i treated the kids to breakfast at McDonald's and has anyone seen the new toys??? they are super super cute!!!! they are the Mdme Alexander dolls, but they are Wizard of Oz ones! Autumn got the good witch and Gabriel got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! soo cute! I of course had to put a call in to my mom b4 she left for work and told her to hook me up!

I took DS to breakfast at McDonalds too! It is on the way home from dropping Sarah off at school, so sometimes we stop. I saw the toys. They are super cute. I liked the WOO ones, but DS loved the TMNTs. We didn't get either. They don't give them out at breakfast here.

It is a bummer that they are only paper. Are you not supposed to laminate them?

I don't think you can laminate them because you have to feed them through the machine just like the regular tickets. Actually, I think now they are made from the same paper as the paper tickets aren't they? When I had a FLA resident one, that was long ago in 95 and they were using the barcode readers, so they were laminate with a picture pasted and laminated on them. Kind of like the old licencenses..... you know, the ones they had when we all 'wanted' to be 21!!!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

So what baby names are in the running?

We're pretty settled, it's just middle names driving us crazy!


If it's a GIRL!

Holland Aubrey
Holland Audrey
Holland Ivy

If it's a BOY!
Roman Alexander
and if for some reason i die and Sal has to name the kid alone:
Salvatore?!?! He's such a dork! but i put my foot down b4 we were married about Jrs. I can't stand that at all!

haha no you don't have to buy a new one. Because they are paper, they understand they get ruined! Esp on water rides and sometimes they stop working because people put them in their wallets, pockets and they ALWAYS get lost!! i highly encourage you to carry your ID with you b/c some cast members follow the rules and ask for your ID when you slide you AP, even if your finger scan works!

When you order them, they will send them to you in the mail and then you activate them at the parks.. BUT when you order them they sometimes send you a PLASTIC one, this is NOT NOT NOT i repeat NOT the ticket, just a coucher you have to trade in at the park

I don't have that much time or patience... but would gladly pay for such an item... I love to buy stuff can ya tell?

They don't give them out over here either, but you can buy them for .99 i'm guilty of buying what i know my mom can get them! hahah! crazy i know!

So should I go ahead and order or wait and buy then?
The bonus to ordering now is I could order one for me this month and next month Sean, and so on. But then they will not be activated until Nov and then be good from Nov to Nov right???

You are telling me!! I ordered stuff from DMMs website for Jul and I am already looking at more stuff I want!

I like! Roman I like best. Sean would absolutely not have a Jr. He made that clear.

hahah! i just do not like the idea of saddling down your child with the name of someone else and then everyone compares the 2 all the time! DH was named after is uncle and his brother is a Jr. Just a practice i can't stand and my parents hate it too! hahaha!

My parents are pushing the name Jason, too common for me! They had 2 girls and each pregnancy was a 'surprise' as in they didn't want to know what it was. THEN they went into all the L&Ds with the name Jason and no girls names so my sis and i got stuck with last minute names! hahahaha! my parents were too trendy with the 80s names! Jason was #1 Michelle was #1 and Diana was right up there too!

YUP go ahead and order! we did it that way too! back when the Disney Store used to sell them, we bought one and then when we had money we bought the other! i loved it! it works out great for poor college kids, planning a wedding and totally broke!

I bought a toy once when I didn't buy a happy meal for sarah when it was just me and her, and it was 1.67....there was no way I was ever doing that again! The whole meal is only three bucks! yup me=cheap

hahahahaha you are cute! they have been .99 here for awhile. And they both share a breakfast sandwich and drink water with ice, soo i figure at that price i can add on 2 toys and it's what i would have paid for the happy meal they split and they get 2 toys instead of 1.

Jul has the wicked witch and cowardly lion. I still like the my little ponies better b/c they get more play time.

 

[Patsfan7]

My brother is named after my father, but not a jr. because his middle name is different. My dad's suggestion was to either name our son after the father (DH=Robert, which I liked, but not the same middle name) or to name him after the richest person we knew, so that the kid would get an inheratance! FUNNY! Nobody in our family is a Sean, but his middle name is after DH Robert. I really like the sound of it... but I REALLY wanted Shea for a boy or Shae for a girl. DH didn't like it for a boy. Then Shea Hillinbrand started to play for the SOX and I said, see, it is a boys name. So, I settled for Sean figuring I could call him Shea if I wanted to.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I wish it would either be great and sunny out or roll in a huge thunder storm! i would love either, but this drizzle just is soo yucky!

i didn't like the last ones that just came out, but the ones before that! they were mini ponies with real hair and they were soo cute! Autumn still has all of them and ALOT of the accessories from WDW fit on the mini ponies! so it was awesome!
