BUNGface!!!!
Woo, party on my TR!
Sherry, we want to go sometime in October to take our God-daughter (Jesus' niece). Her birthday is the 3rd (and she'll be turning 3). Her birthday lands on a Saturday, but her Mom (Jesus' sister) wants to have a party for her that day, so we'll see. If we don't do October, December for sure. We want to get our APs in December so we'll have them next year for Jesus' birthday. I'm guessing we're just going to wait until December though.![]()
Oh wow - so your October plans are still up in the air too? Well, of course, I can think of NO better birthday party for a 3-year-old than a breakfast at Minnie & Friends (or any age, for that matter) and a day at DLR, but I suppose convincing Jesus' sister of that may be tough! So you may not be there on Jasmine's weekend? Drat! All of our schedules are crazy to coordinate, aren't they? So you may end up at DLR in October without an AP and have to get a Hopper, right?
Yes, they are up in the air. If not that weekend we may take her the weekend before or after. Possibily just for a day. She's just a baby and I'm sure won't be able to be a night away from her parents and siblings. We've been wanting to take her, I swear, since she was born!!!
We suck a coordinating together tp meet! GEESH!
HEY SHERRY! I made it to 40,000 views!!
All you crazy lurkers, come say HIIIIIIIII!![]()
Jonas Brothers concert!!!!! That's what I wanna do!! They're going to be at the Staples Center the weekend of August 7th. I think that Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Something like that. I would love for them to come to the Palladium again. Such a small, awesome venue.
So DL is looking for sure like in December. Jesus and I decided on December 2nd (or 3rd), 4th, and come home on the 5th (his birthday). I got $50 hotel bucks (free credit) from hotels.com and I'm waiting for those to come in the mail so I can book a room soon. I think the Candlelight Processional is that weekend?
Oh, hay, here I am!
It must be a really good time to go, beginning of Dec? My bday is on the 1st, whee! Wow, that's a long way away though, let's not start thinking about Christmas yet! That's cool that you have $50 for hotels.com... too bad it wasn't for hotwire/priceline, that would be a free night!
So our next super official trip!? December 2nd through the 5th. If I haven't mentioned before, the 5th is also Jesus' birthday. We will be getting our APs again on the 2nd. I'm in the process of looking at hotels and am still waiting for my vouchers from hotels.com. The Anaheim Plaza hotel has all our nights for $59/night. I want to stay at the Hojo again or find a good deal through hotels.com, but I don't know anything about the Anaheim Plaza. I don't want to wait too long for us to book the rooms either.
Our next trip after that? Hopefully, super fingers crossed. Well Jesus is a HUGE GIANT THE BIGGEST University of Texas football fan. This year the BCS National Championship is at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena). We are hoping and praying that UT makes it to the BCS game. Apparently they are contenders for the championship. Well it's a tradition that a couple days before the Rose Bowl game (January 1st) and the BCS game (January 7th) the teams go to DLR for the day. So our plan (if UT goes) we will arrive to at DL the day the teams are in the parks and stay until the day of the game. Jesus will then go to the BCS game solo while I do a solo day at the parks. We would both go to the game, but one ticket is $275, which will come out to about $600 for the both of us. So since I did the Jo Bros solo, Jesus will do this solo and we'll be even. Did any of that make sense?
There's also the Rose Bowl game on New Years Day. If Texas doesn't make it to the BCS game, they could possibly play in the Rose Bowl game, so our plans will change so Jesus could attend this game instead. But the BCS game would be better.
And after that my Mom will be joining me for the Dis Divas Trip. We're going Thursday through Sunday. She's super excited and she needs the break. Plus, I've been begging her for a mother/daughter trip so quite sometime. The Hojo has the Entertainment Rate for those days, so I'll be calling tomorrow to book it.![]()
Hi, Courtney!!!!I think the idea to renew the APs in December is a good one, because that will not only give you a Christmas trip this year, but you can squeeze in a Halloweentime trip in 2010, as well as another holiday/Christmastime trip in 2010 too, along with any other trips your guys take during the year! That's a lot of bang for your buck! I think I am going to be a copycat and do the same thing IF I renew my AP this year at all. Having an AP that expires on the 2nd day of October is awkward, since it expires JUST in time for the TOTP to begin so I can't really build a whole weekend DLR trip around going to the TOTP because the AP will have expired! And I only got one holiday/Christmas trip out of it. It would be better to renew in December to get two holiday trips out of it and a Halloweentime trip in 2010.
Now, as for the Rose Bowl and BCS are concerned....so if Jesus goes to the BCS game (depending on UT), you will make a solo DLR trip on January 7th, and if he goes to the Rose Bowl, you will make a solo DLR trip on January 1st - New Year's Day (a Friday, I think)? Well, IF I end up renewing my AP this year, or IF I have any of my extra one-day/one-park tickets left that I can use to upgrade to a Hopper, and IF I am not working (in an office) by that time, I can go with you if you need company (though you may prefer to try a solo day just to see how it feels)!! It all boils down to whether or not an AP renewal is in the stars for me this year. (I have come to the conclusion that money solves almost every problem in life!! If you have lots of money in the bank or in savings, you can just do whatever you want, anytime, problem solved. Renew an AP? Sure! In fact, with money, I would probably renew my AP for the rest of my life - or as long as I can still walk!!)
By the way, did you notice that you, Jasmine and I all got honorable mentions in DisneySuiteFreak's Trip Report (first page, first post, I think)? Our ongoing Trip Reports are becoming legendary!!![]()
