Yay for Kevin!!

I bet!!! I'm excited to go see it! I'm begging my Mom to go. She said she'd bring a sign that said "Joe I love your flat ironed hair!"

I was so surprised you actually get to see Joe's hair somewhat curly in the movie. I figured that he wouldn't allow it.

I've been seeing him on TV like that lately. He's getting jealous the other 2 have curly hair and now he wants curly hair!

I bumped your PTR with a pic of Kevin for Kody!!

Well, maybe he realized that girls like to run their fingers through curly hair.

I know Kody was looking over my shoulder and was thrilled. She is going to comment when she comes online.

Probably!!!

Woo!

So! Hi everyone!!!!

I wanted to add that we changed our hotel to the hotel Menage. Jesus found this hotel for so much cheaper, so we changed it the other day. I'm excited because it looks really nice!

I also wanted to add that April 10th and 11th Jesus and I will be going to the parks with his family (Mom, Dad, brother #1 [17 years old] and brother #2 [15 years old]). We're both very excited! His family hasn't been to DLR in so so long!! It's going to be really nice to experience the park with people who don't go often.

Yay! April is right around the corner!!! Woo hoo! Are Jesus' parents fun? Do you think you all will split up into two groups (like you and Jesus and the two brothers in one group and the parents in another group, kind of going off on their own), or do you think everyone will pretty much be on the same page in terms of where to go, what to ride, what to see, where to eat, etc.? Or if Jesus' parents are not up for doing some things you guys want to do, will you just kind of modify the plans and skip some things you would normally do on that trip? I wondered because I think it was Jasmine who was saying at one point that it can sometimes be kind of limiting when you go with parents or other people who aren't on the same page, and it can slow things down. But some parents and families can be way more fun than expected!

Where in the heck is the Menage hotel? Is that nearby to DLR, or can you only get there by car?

I'm so excited to go with them too!! The last time they have gone as a family was when Jesus was around 8 or 9. They have the picture hanging in the hallway. It was taken with Mickey in his barn. Jesus' youngest brother was around 2 when that was taken, so it must have been around 1996. They want to take the picture again, just an updated one!

His parents are very cool and I get a long with them very well. Jesus and I are going to be pretty go-with-the-flow and do whatever his family wants since we'll be back again in 2 weeks. So it's pretty much everything is up to them. I'm sure Jesus and I and his brothers will all go together for awhile, while his parents stay at the hotel or rest. Nobody in his family have been to DCA at all, so it will be exciting to take them to see everything (even though it's all construction-mania over there right now).

All of us will be staying at the Clarion. It's a bit of a walk, so I'm sure we'll drive to the parking structure. We got a suite, but who knows how we're going to handle 6 people to 1 bathroom!

Oh! So the Hotel Menage is right on the corner of Ball Road and Harbor Blvd. If you're at the Hojo facing DLR, it's on the right side over the bridge and across the street. Does that make sense? It's much closer to the parking structure than it is to the Main Gate, but we're going to see if it's too far too walk. We will have to walk over that bridge thing.

Sherry! When are you planning on going to the parks again?

It's funny - I think I had initially asked on this thread where the Menage was before I knew or before you answered, and then over on my TR thread I was responding again about Goofy's and realized where the Menage was and commented - so I was basically having one conversation about the Menage on two different threads!!! That's easy to follow along with, isn't it?

Anyway, to answer your question about when I am going to DLR again, I am still on the fence about it. See, when I get into full DLR mode where I am itching to go back, then while I am planning I tend to not focus as much on the other non-Disney things I need to take care of in life and they fall on the back burner until the trip has passed. And when I get totally involved in other things I need to do (not all of them are fun), then DLR kind of falls to the back burner. I am in that middle gray area now, where I am not putting all my mental energy into one thing or the other and am trying to strike a nice balance. If I start thinking too much about my next DLR trip, then I won't be focusing on other stuff I need to do. So I would LIKE, ideally, to be able to go to DLR around the holidays. I am not sure yet about Halloweentime. I will make up my mind about Halloweentime probably in late August, and then decide if it will be a day trip or a weekend trip. But in December, I would like to be able to go for a few days/nights and do the usual Christmastime DLR thing. My birthday is in July, and I have to decide if I am going to go to DLR and get my gift card. It is so hot then and I hate being at DLR in the heat; plus, my birthday is on a weekday, which is inconvenient. So that will be a last minute decision, probably.

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Sherry! You're so close too! I'd be going everyday!!

My Mom's birthday is July too, on the 5th. And we want to take her, but it's going to be a pain in the butt because it's a Sunday and the 4th crowds will be there.

You should go just to get your fun pass and do some shopping with it!!

You must have read my mind, Courtney! Just as you were posting this, I was over on my TR posting about some new tickets I obtained and how exactly I am going to use them for future DLR trips this year and when I would want to go next!

But, yes, I am sure I will end up going to DLR on my birthday and get the gift card. That is too tempting to pass up, really. There is no guarantee DLR will be doing this same Celebration stuff in 2010.

I think I was at DL one time on 4th of July weekend back in the '80s or '90s, and I don't remember anything offhand about how crowded it was, but nowadays, considering all the people with AP's and all the people packing into DLR, I am sure the 4th holiday weekend will be crazy!

July 5 is a good day. That is Kody's birthday too.

I doubt DLR will do the celebration thing in 2010 too. Just because YOAMD was extending 10 plus years (ha!) they might not want to do that again. But anywho, yes you have to go on your birthday!

I think the 4th usually is crowded. But this year it's on a Saturday, so it's not going to be people are off work/school, they're already off!

So something is wrong with my photobucket and all my pictures are MIA. It said I reached my monthly bandwith limit. So! I'm in the process of getting it fixed! Hang on tight, everyone!

Oh no! How could that be? Have you been uploading a crazy number of photos in March? That same thing happened to Jasmine and Travelmel, when they each uploaded a BUNCH of pictures in one month's time on Photobucket. I thought FOR SURE I would have had that same problem between all of my Photopass pictures from December and the DLR pictures ranging from 1972 to 2001 that I uploaded in the last couple of months, because there were tons, but I was okay with my bandwidth limit! Photobucket didn't mess with my pictures. Anyway, if I recall from Jasmine's situation, she was given a date on which her pictures would be restored and they were.

I guess! I got an email that my bandwidth exceeded for the month and will restore on the 25th. BOO!

BUT! Photobucket said I could upgrade to PRO (with unlimited bandwidth) for free if I bought something from one of their partners! So, what did I buy? A Baggallini messenger bag!!! Woo! I've been wanting for for awhile, I got it for $20something. So I killed two birds with one stone. But I'm still waiting for Bagsbuy to get a hold of Photobucket so I can upgrade to Pro.

Anyways, it's all my Disneyland pictures connected her to the Dis.

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

So my PB works again!! It started working the other day, I just didn't post it.

A couple of things have happened before our trips. Mostly me buying things for our trip. I'm so crazy, when I'm out shopping I'm always thinking "what do I need to take to DLR with us?".

I ordered the Baggallini Messanger bag. I got it in pink. UPS delivered it Monday. I love this thing! It's adorable and comfy and big enough but not too huge. I guess we'll see how it does in the parks when it's full of stuff. As soon as I get my new camera (more on that later) I'll take a picture of my Baggallini with my LGMH on it. Here's a picture though.

It's time for me to get a new camera. I was using my Mom's for the longest time. But the picture quality on it isn't that good and it bothers me (my JB concert pics were taken with that camera). Usually when Jesus and I go we borrow his brother's camera. I want my own, so I'm getting it next week. After wanting a DSLR for a while and not having the funds in my budget, I decided on a cute, pink (see a pattern? ) little point and shoot. It's a Sony. Target has it on sale for $99, but I'm a little annoyed because now all the Targets in my area don't have it in stock anymore. And Target.com ran out too. I found it other places, but for way more than $99. I should have bought it when I first saw it go on sale. Hopefully, I can find it for decent price before we go.

 

[Sherry E]

Ooooohhh....I LOVE the hot pink Baggallini with the pale pink camera!! TOO cute! Makes me wish I hadn't gotten a black Bagg! But you can fit a lot of stuff in those Baggs and I wanted a camera I could shove in there if necessary.

I also wanted a DSLR and it is definitely not in my budget, but because I had more work from the annoying client this month, I am getting the same Canon that Meredith (merrrydeath) has - the Power Shot SD880 IS. I read the online reviews and looked at some people's pictures taken with it, and I was sold. It is not cheap, but it is not DSLR price. Sadly, it is not a Nikon DSLR, but it will do for now. However, the Canon I am getting does not come in the cute colors like the Sony you are getting! I like colored cameras! And my Target blows too because they were out of the Nikon Cool Pix I wanted to get 2 months ago. I actually almost got a Sony Cybershot too because Jasmine said she trusts the Sony brand, and I trust her photographic opinion, but the Canon thing kind of popped up and I followed that lead and looked online at pictures and I HOPE I don't regret it. I may end up with a pink Sony Cyber Shot after all!

Your DLR trip is right around the corner! Yay! Woo hoo!!

By the way, did you ever order that free Catalina Visitors Guide that I gave you, Kerri and Jasmine the link to (in an e-mail)? The last I heard on that whole e-mail string was that Kerri had ordered it, and that was a couple of days ago or so. I haven't gotten any other e-mails. I was also asking you about Mona Vie because my former boss LOVES Mona Vie and sold it out of her office to make extra $$.

Hiya Sherry!!! I have a thing for pink. My phone is pink, my mp3 is pink. Now my camera and Bagg. On the bagsbuy website where I bought mine, the pink looked weird. I wasn't too sure if I liked it. But when I saw it in person, it's a different pink than the website showed. Even the picture I posted is a little different pink than it is in person.

I hope I can find that camera by next week. I'm waiting for next week cause I get paid Tuesday! I wanted a DSLR really badly too. I was even asking Jasmine for some help. I was going to get one when I got my tax money, but I decided to be smart and pay bills. Plus I had to take my dog to the doctor and that was a lot. You won't regret getting the Canon! Canon point and shoots are good! It seems like a reliable camera.

Man, I read the last emails too. I have no idea why I didn't respond. I will this weekend! But yes! I did order the Catalina guide! I'll let you know when it gets here. My Uncle introduced me to Mona Vie. He loves it and it's doing a lot of positive things for his health. We have a lot of bottles at home and my parents drink it. I've been doing good with it. I've made some extra money (which I honestly wasn't expecting to do) and I have that put away for Disneyland. It's been helping my Mom too. She says she feels better and her appetite isn't as large, plus she sleeps better at night.

Oh yeah!! I can't believe our trip is in less than 2 weeks!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

OH, that's the Baggalini!! Was wondering what everyone had been talking about on the boards!! Very cute, probably more comfortable to wear than the small backpack I loaded around (small as in kid size that you couldn't put on your shoulder, just carry by the handle) I was very sore by the end of the trip. I love pink as well....my cellphone is pink too!!
