The Halloween Party is awesome! You guys will love it! We actually planned our trip so we can hit the first party of the season

Yay for going to Disney next month!

As if being able to say "we go to WDW next month" wasn't enough to get us excited, today we got Mickey Mail
We got our Magical Express packet and our "package"

The "package" booklet has the same cover as 2009, with the castle and the balloons, but some of the package inclusions have changed. I am bummed that they have taken away the free Photopass 5x7 picture! That was always my favorite feature! Even though the free pic is gone, the package now has a PP card and says if you pre-register your card they will send you some "special offers". (I think that means we'll get an email to pre-order the cd?) Another thing new in the package is a coupon for 15% off at Nikki Bryan Spa. We won't be using that but for folks who enjoy that sort of thing it might be a nice savings.

So we have everything we need...now we just have to wait for March 3rd!

Awesome ! Who dosen't like to receive Mickey Mail

 

[dawnbu40]

Today was the day the party tickets went on sale. The website said they'd go on sale at 10am so I was ready at 10am, logged on and......NOTHING! It turned out it was 10am PST which is 1pm here I was so bummed!

I spent the next couple hours with my mom at the mall,never a bad way to kill time and was back online at 1pm ready for those tickets! 1pm came and again NOTHING!! At 1:05 I finally got through, seemed like hours not minutes!, and got our tickets!!!! I am so excited! I booked the first dinner seating which is 4:30. That way we'll have a big breakfast, a snack mid day and then the buffet at 4:30. Can't eat too much that day since we'll have the dessert party that night

So did I!!!!

I sooo can't belive I just did that. I guess I'd better book air, hotel and get time off.

I read the first part and my heart almost stopped for you. Then I was all

YAY! I'm so glad you're going too! I texted Caitlin at school to tell her I got them and after her initial "YES!" the next text was "I hope MyMuse got them too"!

Awww... Thank you!

I wasn't going to do it, but decided to anyways. I can plan a trip in 4 weeks, why not?

( I really want to find a good spot for Illuminations if anyone has any suggestions?)

We watched up against the railing between Canada and the UK, and it was a really good spot!

And at our members' request, guests will mix and mingle with beloved, classic Disney characters, as well as a few friends you may not have seen strolling through the park in a while!

Any idea who the mystery characters are? Sounds intriguing!

At 1:05 I finally got through, seemed like hours not minutes!, and got our tickets!!!!

This is gonna be an awesome trip report!!!

We're excited for you and hoping we can have a Dis Meet there! Planning in 4 weeks will just speed things up. Luckily, that's a slow week and we planned just 8weeks out and still got all the adrs we wanted so you'll be fine

Thanks for the Illuminations suggestion. We'll check that out!

I don't have any clue who the characters will be but we're excited to find out!

Thanks! I know we're going to have an awesome time, I hope the TR will be fun to read too

We are really excited for the party! One of my favorite things about WDW is there is so much to see and do that no matter how often you go you just can't do it all! This trip besides going to the party, we are eating at 4 "new to us" restaurants!

Hey Dawn and Caitlin....

Congrats on getting the tickets to the D23 party! That sounds pretty cool! I can't believe your trip is less than a month away!!!!! Mine is less than 3 months away.

And...some good news....I booked my flights for May, I am having tons of fun with my new camera, and I got a new (actually used) Macbook that I am learning to use. I bought it from a friend who deals in repo'd computers. Its pretty slick and has some great photo editing features. It is keeping me busy during this lovely snow storm.

Oh...and I found a great volunteer activity for the "Give a Day" project. I signed up to walk dogs. Yup...I think I can handle that. I don't have to drive too far and I don't have to go into a hospital!

Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming trip!

Hi Mary Ellen! Thanks! I'm hoping the party lives up to our expectations

Caitlin mentioned you the other day and said, "Remember when Mary Ellen said she knew we wouldn't wait til Sept to go back " Yeah, you were right.

Hopefully the next few months will go quickly as you anticipate your trip!

Glad to hear the camera is working out for you I'll look forward to yur May pics! A MacBook? Dale will be so jealous! He'd love one of those!

Ew for snow! How much have you had this winter? Here in Michigan we've hardly had any snow this year! We've lucked out that it just keeps missing us (knock on wood)

We're dog people so dog walking sounds fun (unless you get some wild dogs!)

Glad to hear from you! Stay warm!

We have had two big snow storms this year. The second one was before Christmas. This one is huge though. They said it might be as big as the one we had in 96 (which I don't remember all that well since my kids were little). I am just watching the snow pile up higher and higher on the back deck. It's crazy.....I think it is going to be up to the rails soon.

My mac is actually a couple years old. I have a friend that sells gently used computers. I like to buy from him cause he fixes everything forever. He mostly deals with windows. I had my computer in there for a quick fix of a back light and he showed me this mac and let me take it home and play with it. It's so great for recording music. I couldn't resist. I actually thought about buying a new one, but this is a 17 inch monitor and the price tag on that would have been....... This still has some warranty left under applecare. Once I get the hang of it a bit better I would like to update to the newest operating system and software. Right now I am just trying to work it. It took me forever to figure out how to resize my photos for photobucket. I feel so dumb, although a lot of it is pretty intuitive.

Anyhooo... I got behind on everyone's TRs for awhile. I think I am just about caught up and super psyched to know that in a little over a month I will have your TR to look forward too.

p.s. I better NOT get wild dogs to walk!
