Anybody get their HAIKU bag yet?

Nope i'm aiming for the end of the week?

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Alright guys, why October, I'm talking FREE DINING HERE!!! They've had it 2 years running, they're gonna have it again, and the MNSSHP is in Sept, too? Okay, how about MNSSHP on Sept 19 then?

HAHAHAH!
Dh and I would rather pay for our dining, it was too crowded for us! we expect the crowds when we go for the big time holidays, but not in september/october. Soo it really turned us off! We also want the little guy to be a year old, so he or she could quite possibly be walking by then And we loove the cooler weather that later October brings!

VERY Cute pic of JUL!!

Well, then dont bring Steve.... who's got an extra bed???? Anyone??? Anyone?? By not bringing him, it cuts the cost in half!

November 15-19 at CSR for my birthday!!!I can't think of anything to put on there!

I cant do it. My mom died January 25th - 2006, so Im stil super raw about it. I am an only child, and my dad left my mom when I was a baby. He 'didnt want kids' And my mom never remarried.... soooooo, I am still *raw* about it all.



Alright - which color: http://www.ebags.com/heys/torreto_20_rolling_duffel/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=74893

Cat -
I completely understand I am so sorry about your mom. I remember you telling us her story !

I kinda like the orange one - which is odd for me ! I typically would lean towards the pink , but that color pink looks strange to me - y'know ?! Maybe I am just having a color disorder day !

 

[Msslaydbug]

Cat - go to

http://www.timbuk2.com and then the design your own. They are THE BEST quality bags and so cute with colors you can customize yourself !! It gets addicting. Dan, Austin and I all have our own.

I am getting my SIL one for her 18th birthday next month. I think I am doing purple/lime green/purple with a black logo and white inside - I have no idea.

Mine is pink/black/pink with a black logo !! They are very cute ! The medium is perfect as your personal item when you fly. Big enough to hold lots, but still small enough to shove under your seat !

 

[dreamergirl78]

Just let me know when you hear from her. Do we wait until the 12th to apply the free dining code ?

She will do the codes for us!

Jul, 5 minutes ago, in her Pocahontas costume:
Cute pic! Hey, I see a Longaberger basket in the background! Do you collect those too?

 

[CathrynRose]

I need a rolly suticase bag, though. The one I bought before WDW in Sept, I really like - but it's too big.

 

[dreamergirl78]

ohhh POPpers!!!

i am SLEEVE SNIFFING!!! my package info came today!!! this is soooo awesome!!!!

HOW FUN!!!! It's a very strange addiction we have!

Hey all -

My grandma died last month (well actually the end of March) it was very unexpected and Oh so sad ! She was the best grandma ever. My grandpa died a few years ago so know I don't have either grandparent left -there is no one left Everyone lives in a tiny little town in Lima, Oh - my dad and 1 other sister are the only ones that moved away.

I used to spend my summers in Ohio with my grandparents and loved them both so dearly. So, now without either one there it was so hard to come home knowing I might not ever go back. Of course, all my cousins and aunts and uncles are still there - but that just isn't the same.

I put together a slideshow for my family as a suprise/gift of the flowers at the funeral and a few select "funeral activities" and some old pictures of my grandma and grandpa together. (Their house is in their too - my grandpa built it by hand way back in the day ....). I would love for someone to watch it and let me know what they think ....... since this was for my family I can't show them - it will just show up one day with a card

It is about 6 minutes long with music to keep you entertained. Let me know what you think.....

If you are on dial up I wouldn't even attempt to download it !! If you want to review it for me it will take about 5-6 minutes to download. Press run and it will start downloading it automatically. At the end press your esc button to get out of it.

I am downloading it right now, and I will let you know what I think! I am so sorry for your loss. It's really hard, and I totally understand.

My husband's family is from Ohio too. Tha Dayton area. He has TONS of family back there. I love Ohio in the Spring.

Im in. BTW - this will be year THREE of free dining!!!

Oh Lori....
That was so beautifully done. Your Grandma would be so darn proud of you!!!! The image at the beginning where her photo is black and white with the butterflies and then everything becomes colorized .... I got chills. And one of the last shots that was taken through the side mirror on the car... whew. That was very special, thank you for sharing it.

 

[Msslaydbug]

Awww...thank Tia ! They are all not into the whole "photo" thing, but I hope they will like it !

Their idea of professionally done photos is stapling a white sheet up against the door and snapping away - LOL !!

I know some of the flower pics aren't the best - but hey what do you expect in a funeral home , huh ?

I'm sooooo glad you like it. The only person I have showed is DH. This has literally taken me a month to put together. I guess in it's own way it was my therapy !

 

[Msslaydbug]

Girls (and PJ) -
My goal tonight is to walk for 20 minutes ! I better get to it ....

When I did production for an ad agency, I did MANY memorial type videos. They really are so difficult to put together because it zaps all of your energy. They are much more difficult than a baby or wedding video. I will see if I can upload Ry's baby video. I need to x-fer it to DVD. But anyway... enough of me. You are soooo super talented!

Girls (and PJ) -

Good luck with that! I am starting my Pilates again tomorrow morning. Mon-Fri.

 

[Msslaydbug]

I want to see Ry's baby video. I do lots of slideshows for my friends and clients - but believe it or not have never done one for my kids so far - BAD BAD Mom !!

Here is a baby and her mom I got to do a few weeks ago.... it has been on eof my favorite's so far. She is so cute and of course mom was drop dead gorgeous too !!!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I'm going in Oct for the cruise and spending some time at WDW too! Probably mid Oct.

YAAAYY!!! we're def. doing mid october! so if you have your dates let me know! Definately on or after October 17th!

 

[dreamergirl78]

Here is the e-mail I got from my TA! Let me know what you guys want to do.
Lori - With an 8 night stay if we do arrival on the 13th that would have us leaving on the 21st.
Your full name is Lori right? And Austin of course. Padilla right?

Here is Donna' e-mail address if anyone has any questions. dizneydonna@ourlaughingplace.com
Let me know who and what we want to do about the Grand Gathering!

Hi Tia!

Wow! You guys are going to have a BLAST! I love traveling to Walt Disney World with a group. If it's with a group of Disney fans..........it is the BEST!

OK, let's see.......I can most definitely change your reservation for you. Before I can add on your friend and her son, I'll need to have both of their first and last names. Since her part of the package will be identical to yours (1 Adult / (1) 10 yr old) you'll just need to split the cost of the package right down the center. Lori can make payments through me, as well. I'll also handle changing your arrival date to 9/13; not a problem at all. The cost of the hotel room (minus tickets) for 8 nights is $738.00. The ticket cost breaks down to $271.17 per 9-Day Hopper (including tax and early purchase discount).

Concerning the rest of the group......as long as your vacation dates will be overlapping, at some point, we can link you all together as a Grand Gathering (as long as there are at least 8 people traveling, age 3 and up). That would, indeed, guarantee that your rooms will be closer together. Now, I'd be happy to set the gathering up for you and get a Gathering Number assigned to the group. Do they already have their packages booked? If not, I can take care of that for them, as well. ; ) If it's easier for you, you can just pass my email address along. If they do have their packages booked, I'll still need to get their names and their reservation numbers in order to link the reservations together for the Grand Gathering. Another little FYI.......if they've already booked, they can fill out a form that I have, and fax it back to me, requesting that their reservation be transferred to go through me and OLP Travel. That way, I'll be helping to coordinate everything for the entire group (including any dining reservations). We can do this as long as their reservations were booked directly through Walt Disney Travel Company and not through another travel agency. : )

At this point, I need the first and last names of the friends that will be joining you in your room. As soon as I get that info from you, I'll add them onto your reservation. ; )

No worries about your deposit as it is not due until 4/21. : )

Thanks so much for including me again with your trip planning, Tia! It certainly is a privilege to be able to work with you!

 

[dreamergirl78]

Awwww... that baby video was SO SWEET! What a cutie!
Great job once again!

 

[julsmom]

Will do! i will most likely start it when i get back in May! it helps when i have something to look forward to! do you have dates in mind yet?

Not yet. Probably later October to avoid the big crowds from dining and the crowds from Columbus day...plus it will be better if Jul is in school for a good month before at least...

Alright guys, why October, I'm talking FREE DINING HERE!!! They've had it 2 years running, they're gonna have it again, and the MNSSHP is in Sept, too? Okay, how about MNSSHP on Sept 19 then?

We will lean towards later October...

I love it. I like orange for you, then pink comes in second...

Jul, 5 minutes ago, in her Pocahontas costume:
Cute pic! Hey, I see a Longaberger basket in the background! Do you collect those too?

Yes, I haven't bought one in a while. I have way too many. All over the place. That pic was in our sunroom, which is basically a playroom for Jul. She loves it in there. She has an organizer of my little ponies, a pony castle, her easel, a little table, sofa, floor cushions, tv, the works. A little 'baby pad' (like 'bachelor pad'...get it?? )
