(in my best english accent) I don't like spam!

Why do you think I'm trying to get rid of it?????

 

[twob4him]

Yuck Spam???!!!! Dawn take that stuff to your own trippie.... Over here on this trippie we are having meatball subs with parm cheese, curly fries and huge cups of soda. And for dessert, we are having cake! Dig in everyone...cause its Friday and calories don't count of Fridays!

OK so with the exception of new luggage (which looks unlikely) and a few pairs of shorts for myself (more probable), my Disney shopping has been completed All princesses are accounted for. You will be happy to know that I bought four pairs of crocs. (We all got the pink Disney ones.) I tried to go with the discount code thingy but the site didnt have my size and color. I ended up getting them from surfanddirt.com cause they had lots of choices and the right size and colors for us plus free shipping. Yeesh that was a lot of money. But I know they will be very comfortable. When they get here I will take a pic and post it.

So hows dinner so far? Can I say that my oldest daughter DD9 and I really did go out after dinner tonight for our first of six "dates" to talk. You know about the girl stuff mom's talk to their girls about. Tonight was fun. We had tea and dessert and then went shopping for her summer/Disney clothes. If you have ever heard of Secret Keeper Girls, that's what we are doing.

Did you know we are still double booked?? Tomorrow I am going to cancel our original plans/itinerary with Disney and next week we pay off our vacation! So I was wondering if I ever told you my new plans. I had to change some things to work it out with our friends who are meeting us at Disney. So here is what happened:

I had to add two people to our first night ADR's at Ohanas. We were already a party of 5 and were booked for 5:50 pm. When I called they said the first available table for 7 people wasnt until 8:30 pm. Can you say,,,fall down starving dead by that time????? So I asked her what else we could do. Her solution was to book our friends separately. So, they are getting a table for two. They had one at 5:45 pm and they would seat us next to each other. So Get This: They can seat us separately together at 5:50 pm but if we want to sit together together they cant seat us till 8:30???? Who makes up these silly rules. Yeesh.

The next night ADR was for Liberty Tree. For some reason they had no trouble seating us as a group of 7 at 6:50 pm. Originally I had planned for dinner to be at 6 pm. Actually I like this later time better. After we are done dinner it will be time for the parade and we can watch it right there in Liberty Square. Then we can move over to our fireworks spot which most Disers say should be under the wire that Tink goes on.

The other change was the order we were doing the parks and the fact that we were going to now attempt to stay in MK all day. Hmmmmm I hope that works out. So here is the new PLAN:

Monday 18th - Arrive, hang around resort, swim, meet with friends, eat lunch, rest, get ready for evening, take boat to DTD, shop, go to Polynesian, have dinner, check out the Poly, watch Electical Light Parade, go back to hotel.

Tuesday 19th - Early Magic Hours at MK. Get there early and stay all day!

Wednesday 20th - Typhoon Lagoon until 1 or 2 pm, back to hotel to rest, say goodbye to friends, dress and go to dinner at Wilderness Lodge's Whispering Canyon Cafe. Check out resort and return to hotel and go to bed.

Thursday 21st - Take cab to Universal Studios. Stay all day. Return to hotel for relaxing swim and go to bed!

Friday 22nd - Animal Kingdom until 5:30 pm. Head over to Animal Kingdom Lodge for 6:30 pm dinner at Boma's. Check out resort and head back to hotel for sleep.

Saturday 23rd - Epcot day - Do Future World in AM, return to hotel for rest and to do my own Bibbiddy Bobbidy Boutique with the girls. Return to Epcot with three princess to dine with more princess in Norway. DIS MEET IN NORWAY AT 7PM! After that, wonder around World Showcase and watch Illuminations. Return to hotel and sleep.

Sunday 24th - Pack and check out. Check baggage. Breakfast at Boatwrights. Hang out at resort and do all the fun things there until it is time to hop on the Magical Express to airport.

Monday 25th - Sleep, do laundry, sleep, do laundry, eat, sleep, do more laundry, eat and go to bed! Start post-trippie Tuesday!


And that's the latest folks! I just hope I am not too sad and can handle the end of the trip! Fortunately I dont have to work this summer and I do live near ocean. Now if only I had a horse! OK time for bed....I will catch you tomorrow. Let me know of any food or dessert or drink requests. bye....

First of all...the Spam is all yours! But I am willing to make up for that by bringing donuts this morning...

I hope that is enough...

Next, I am just wondering if this schedule is any different than what we have posted on our Stalking thread. Do I need to change anything over there? Let me know puh-leez.

 

[DisneyJo]

Sounds great Cathy especially the Tuesday start TR I love that you had a girls night with your DD that is so lovely : It's Saturday here do the calories count now??????

Nope its the same darn thing...I just never updated over here! Yummm the donuts are delish.Thanks! I can't get the Stormalong Bay pics out of my mind that you posted. Boy...wouldn't I love to be going there after eating donuts this morning! Just imagine swimming and relaxing and the nice warm sun . Can you tell I have to clean and its cold and overcast here?????

Well I hope we actually do get an early start that Tuesday. The Plan depends on it! Oh no actually for every calorie you eat on the weekend you lose 0.10 pounds. So you had better get eating those donuts!

That was the best pool ever! I really wish I could afford to go back...oh well. I did win $2 last night in the Mega Millions drawing so that's a start.

Where do you live? It's gloomy here!!

Oh yea, that is a very nice way to do the talk with your daughter. I almost had to have the talk with my 7-year-old son. He asked how babies were made. I looked at him getting ready to take him into my bedroom to have the talk. I really have no problems talking openly about those things. Right before I had a chance to question his asking, he asked, "Does God put the baby in you?" I knew at that point it wasn't the right time and told him that yes, God chose him to be placed in Mommy's belly and I was very lucky God chose him for me.

Congrats on the win...only $999,998 to go!
I live in New Jersey and its gloomy here!
I am glad you have no problems talking about it cause I do...though I am pretending I dont. But I really do want her to know the facts from me and feel free to talk about it and ask me questions. I guess my little baby is growing up! We spent all day cleaning her room and organizing clothes etc. We do this every season it seems but it gets all messy and disorganized in three months!

 

[DisneyJo]

it gets all messy and disorganized in three months!

3 months you get off lightly my DD's can mess their rooms up within about 3 minutes

Cathy, I love your itinerary. We did DTD on our first day (on both trips) too and just loved it!! Such a great way to get into the Disney spirit! Love the entire plan!! Very exciting!!

I remember eating Spam as a kid when we went on holidays (imagine what we ate at normal times of the year ). Anyway, I'm vegetarian now. I wonder why?!

Thanks for the donuts Disneyolic!!

DisneyJo, I heard about the earthquake in Kent. I believe nobody was killed. I hope that's correct. Anyway, just wanted to say I hope you and yours are all okay.

We're fine thanks it was about 30/40 miles away on the coast, we didn't feel a thing! Apparently only 1 person was hurt which is good news it could have been so much worse! It was a 4.7 quake but I don't know if thats big or not

 

[Cinderella16]

I AM FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THIS WONDERFUL PRE TRIPPIE!! Well it looks we will be in the same places at the same time (sometimes), we better see eachother!! We will be at MK on the 19th, Typhoon Lagoon on the 20th, AND AK on the 22nd! Keep up with this Pretrippie, I love it!!!
