(50$ rule= if it costs more than $50 you stop and think about it for 24 full hours, if you still think you need it then go ahead and get it, but if not, then you saved money!! we do this ALOT and 90% of the time we don't even want the item later!! haah!)

I am going to try this...

 

[dreamergirl78]

We used to belike that, until we realized we have a whole lotta nothing! too many clothes, too many shoes (the entire family! even Gabriel has more shoes than i do! haha) too many purses, too many toys...everything! We would rather vacation ALOT! haha! Now we have the 50$ rule which helps alot!! AND if we break it by being spontaneous, then we are penalized 20$ from EACH of our weekly allowances!

(50$ rule= if it costs more than $50 you stop and think about it for 24 full hours, if you still think you need it then go ahead and get it, but if not, then you saved money!! we do this ALOT and 90% of the time we don't even want the item later!! haah!)

That's a great idea. I tend to that without thinking about. I will go into Target and fill up a basket and put half of it back! Or I go into toilet paper and end up spending $200!

ooo i was cleaning out my prefume drawer in the linen closet to get out Spring perfumes and i forgot how much i LOVE LOVE LOVE
BEYOND Paradise from Estee Lauder! i keep sniffing my arm i need to get that Vacay sleeve out, so that i have something else to smell!!

Mmmmmm spring time perfumes! YEAH!
I miss the sleeve smell.

Where all can you use the gift card. We will do the DDP, so I dont' need to worry about that.

Your travel package whatnot has to be paid off before you go so I guess you cannot use it there. So it is just for spending?

Alright - I already like Donna:




She is Mojitooooooo aware!

Alright - who's giving their reservation to Donna so we can link up?!?!?

Cat - I really hope Donna can get you worked in. Keep us up to date !! ( Like you wouldn't

I havent' even begun to think about dinner, so maybe oven baked chicken fingers, some steamed veggies, potato wedges and fruit salad for dessert? it's nice and easy! hahaha! i think i could even toss a quick salad.

Cat, hope thing work out for you!

Michelle - That sounds good - and nice and easy. We are having chicken lettuce wraps - YUMMY !!! We eat out quite a bit and I have been trying to be good the past few weeks ! All that $$ sure does add up when you add it altogether !

Hmmmm... I need to figure out something for Dinner too! I am SO burned out on cooking, but I am trying to eat at home tosave more money for Disney!


Illuminations is ok. Ry and I prefer Fantasmic though. And we didn't even go see Wishes. He wanted to go back to POP and swim!

Ooohh Wishes is my favorite. I even have the soundtrack. I cry everytime !! I could watch it every night ! It give me goosebumps and makes me feel happy

You know, Illuminations is not my favorite either... come to think of it, I have seen special places set up for Wishes too... maybe I could look into a dessert reception over there???? Anyone ever hear of any such thing?

We should look into that !! I would be all in for this one hands down !

This totally works! when we have the itch to eat out, we estimate the cost and then make something at home and put the cash in the Jar as though we would have eaten out!!

Good idea Michelle !

 

[julsmom]

That's a great idea. I tend to that without thinking about. I will go into Target and fill up a basket and put half of it back! Or I go into toilet paper and end up spending $200!

Exactly! But that is just what I am trying to stop doing. I really want this to stick! That is why I am asking so many question.

Mmmmmm spring time perfumes! YEAH!
I miss the sleeve smell.

Ooooh, I should pull out old sleeves...man I am desperate!!

 

[CathrynRose]

Kilimanjaro Safaris...

They kinda stopped it....they dont make AS big of a deal about it.... it was the lamest 'addition' ever!

I really don't know anything about it. I have seen Illuminations a few times and I know I sound crazy but it just isn't my favorite ! How much does it end up being ?



Yeah - it does make much more sense to stay up Pop. As much as I hear people complain about it - I really like it a lot !

Well, the one reason Im super gung ho about the Illuminations one, is you get a really special spot. You dont have to stake out a spot hours before hand. Its right on the water front, with candles and such. I dont know... I'd really like to do it, if you guys do.

Sounds like you have had a busy morning already!!!! I think you should DIS, but that's just me!

Is that MY Donna???? If it is, I told you, she is THE BEST!!!!
If it's my Donna she already has my reservation.
Is she working on getting you free dining?

YESSSS! I like her. Either way, Im happy to have her take over my stuff. She's totally nice!!

Illuminations is ok. Ry and I prefer Fantasmic though. And we didn't even go see Wishes. He wanted to go back to POP and swim!

I dont think Illuminations is AMAZING either - BUT I think it'd be awfully special having our group all do it? No? In a really nice place to watch it??

You know, Illuminations is not my favorite either... come to think of it, I have seen special places set up for Wishes too... maybe I could look into a dessert reception over there???? Anyone ever hear of any such thing?

I love Wishes - which is why TIA, YOU ARE STAYING FOR HALLOWISHES! ITS AWESOME! BUT....that being said (and yelled) I just think the Illuminations one would be so special???

Maybe we can invade the Mexican cantina at like seven PM and get really liquored up and watch from there!!!!! That's my suggestion!!!

If thats what everyone would rather do, Ill do that too. I think, if you guys want, we should do Illuminations together... on that day. It's a *THUMBS UP* for crowds, and AGAIN! It's a MOIJTO POP Bonding moment!! I like using that cloud for our illumination evening! LOL!

WOOHOOOOO one of my EBAY auctions just ended and i sold a monorail cell charm and 2 lanyards! LOVE IT!

Awesome!!! Ill have to post the pic of the shoes I won!

NOW THAT My dear sounds like a plan. Let me know what you decide. I am up for just about anything! Is getting htere at 7 enought time to secure a place for all of us?
!

i think it should be. I have dinner at 5.10, though.... But Im always willing to pop a squat and hold our seats. And in fact with so many of us, we can kinda take turns???

Has everyone set up their park days? For the moment, ours are as follows:

....

yes, i have....

Wed - 12 : Flying in at 7.30, hoping to just hang out at DtD for an IceCream Sundae dinner! Might get my AP's there, too.

Thur - 13: Lora gets in at 9am, so once she's at POP, we're headed to MGM, and the Mama Melroses Fantasmic Package (which I highly reccomend, for real! And I reallllly like Mama's)

Fri - 14 - I have CP ADR's for bfast at 8.10 (I wanted to ask you guys about this...anyone interested in bfast, lunch, dinner or whatever together, on this day? We all are doing MNSSHP)
My plan - if no one wants to do anything is this:
BFast at CP - hang at MK for a bit, go to Contemp and do the Water Mice for a bit, back to room to freshen up and then back to the MNNSHP.

9.15 - Epcot - (ummm, Im a bad DIS'er) TWO Adr's:
4.10 for Garden Grill
5.10 for Coral Reef.... havent made up my mind.

9.16 - AK - dinner at 5 at Boma

9.17 - WATERPARK PARTY! WHo's coming?? And then I leave at 7.45

 

[julsmom]

YESSSS! I like her. Either way, Im happy to have her take over my stuff. She's totally nice!!

It was just so funny...all of a sudden this unknown poster pops in...kind of cool...

I love Wishes - which is why TIA, YOU ARE STAYING FOR HALLOWISHES! ITS AWESOME! BUT....that being said (and yelled)
You are so funny!

It's a MOIJTO POP Bonding moment!!

I feel so unbonded...
Awesome!!! Ill have to post the pic of the shoes I won!



Yes! Do!!

Honestly, I am up for whatever. Ry and I watched Illuminations last year on the patio of the R&C. It was WONDEFUL! I am just not a fan of sitting and holding spots for hours. Just not my thing. So if we all want to get together and do this, I am in!


YESSSS! I like her. Either way, Im happy to have her take over my stuff. She's totally nice!!

GOOD! She is awesome and I think you will find a great go to person for future trips too. She got us ADR's that other people were all up in arms about not getting!

I dont think Illuminations is AMAZING either - BUT I think it'd be awfully special having our group all do it? No? In a really nice place to watch it??
Again, I am up for whatever!


I love Wishes - which is why TIA, YOU ARE STAYING FOR HALLOWISHES! ITS AWESOME! BUT....that being said (and yelled) I just think the Illuminations one would be so special???

Oh, we watched Hallowishes and LOVED it!!! That was worth the price of admission in my opinion.

yes, i have....

I think Ry and I might want to join you. He wants to go there soooo bad! Let me see if he wants to be up that early though!

9.15 - Epcot - (ummm, Im a bad DIS'er) TWO Adr's:
4.10 for Garden Grill
5.10 for Coral Reef.... havent made up my mind.
NAUGHTY DISer!
9.16 - AK - dinner at 5 at Boma

9.17 - WATERPARK PARTY! WHo's coming?? And then I leave at 7.45
ME ME ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and Ry too! I believe Lori and Austin will be there as well!

 

[CathrynRose]

Oh don't you grasshopper me!!! Hey, who is getting the baggalini??? Me-ni?

Yours will come in time, young sensai... patience.




Yesssssssss.... no one answered about a swap and Lori has one too. So, I think only 2 of you wanted one.

$5 you'll pass this thing off, or sell it in eBay!

 

[julsmom]

You can CALLLLL us!!! And we will give you a play by play!
I think calling would so make it worse! You goof!!
Ill tell you, Im super upset that youre not joining us!

Yeah, I'm breakin your heart...

The closest thing to a "meditation" face as I could find!

Oh don't you grasshopper me!!! Hey, who is getting the baggalini??? Me-ni?

You can have it! I am going to customize a bag I think.

OK, I am going to lunch with my Mom.
TTYL!

Where all can you use the gift card. We will do the DDP, so I dont' need to worry about that.

__________________

When our jar gets too full of bills and change, we cash it in at the bank and put that on the CARD, so we do use it for the downpayment on the trip through CRO. and some payments along the way.

Otehr than that it can be used EVERYWHERE EXCEPT for the REsort Front dEsk! they are working on upgrading their systems to accept it there, but as of yet it's a no-go! so you cant' charge everythign to your room and then pay it off with the gift card.

They even take it at the ice cream carts!!

 

[julsmom]

$5 you'll pass this thing off, or sell it in eBay!

I pinky swear not to!! Lori has a red one but I want a green or khaki one, whatever your color was. So send it up!!!

 

[julsmom]

OK, I am going to lunch with my Mom.
TTYL!

HEY! No eating out! So make her pay...

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Tia have a good lunch!
