Soarin'. 20 min! http://twitpic.com/153z5d

I'm in! Just found your Report...gotta go get all caught up now!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

"Pam way to go!! Now I need you to motivate me because I so have not been doing what I need to do!! The walk around the mall was def. a wake up call!!"

Ok, I walked 1.5 miles in the cold wind with my neighbor today so I am dropping you a motivational line! Go Netta! Disney awaits you and your daughter.

Have you decided when and what you are telling your daughter?

OK Pam you have issued the the motivation and I am going take it!!I mean if you can walk in the cold wind I can surely walk in my basement!!! I will report back tomorrow!!

I have decided that I am prob. going to tell her a couple of days before we go.. If she asks about the packing and such I am just going to tell her we are going on a special trip..
My plan is to have a box come to her(she loves mail) and when she opens it..Mickey Balloons will fly out- along with a letter from the princess inviting her to come to Disney..I will put all of her goodies in that bag!!!

28Wednesday HS
29Thursday MK/Downtown Disney
30Friday Travel day

I know that I left out AK.. Maybe we will go Monday

well nowI am trying to come up with a budget.. I am trying to figure out how many days we need passes for and if I should get park hoppers or not..
Now these prices are off the DW website with no discounts
Ok..We are doing the GAD program but Princess can't get a ticket because she is only 5.. Soo I priced tickets for a 4 or 5 day

4day tickets(4 for G and 3 for me)
Regular- 437.72
Hopper 548.48

5 day tickets(5 for G and 4 for me)
Regular 452.30
Hoppers 563

What say you??

What say you??

Go with the park hopper. You won't regret the flexibility it gives you. You can visit one park in the morning, go back for a swim, nap and then another park in the evening. That is my vote!

 

[Nettaboo]

Pam this is because you encouraged me!!! Thanks!!

 

[pipersmom]

I would probably do the 5 day with no hoppers, just because it would give me an extra day in the park (and you know me and frugal are best friends!) and your plans have you hitting one park a day. If I had an extra $100 to get rid of, I'd do the hoppers, because of the flexibility, as pp mentioned.

We gave up hoppers a few years ago. We find it easier to stay in one park per day. That way, it's easier for me to schedule our dinner ADRs.

I just love the Twitter pictures!

 

[Nettaboo]

Ok.. so I just checked UT and I can get a 5 day pass which is really a 6 day pass for both of us for 437.90 and I still will have my GAD so that is really good right??? BRB boss is calling me

That is awesome!

I have practically lived on the Creaive boards for the last 2 years..
I have a bunch of projects that I want to do for this trip.
The first thing I decided to take on was the autograph books.. I decided to have them printed through Shutterfly to save some ink, they came in on Friday but they had cut all the boarders off.. some of them are worse than others. Then when I called CS, I had to take pics of the cards and call back.. they took me through so much I just told them to give me a refund.
My husband thinks I should just use the pics..but I really don't want to...
I am going to show you how they look..hold on

I'm here! what are the creative boards????

 

[weezy26nm]

am I really this boring??

I know how you feel. I was starting to think no one wanted to hear about me but ME!

The 6 day tickets at ticketmania.com are $436 so they are about the same.

 

[pipersmom]

I would go for the UT deal, you're not going to get any cheaper than that!

I am so happy to have some one else reading my report!!The creative boards is where a group of very talented men and women make all kinds of things for people's trips, auotogrpah pages, designs for tshirts, pressed pennie designs, and more..Check out my link to my GAD designs!!

Hey!!I think I am going to go with UT and get the 5 day pass that gives the 6 th for free GAD ticket for G if we need a 6th day for her or use it to get the Souvenier Mouse Hat..it looks really cool

I booked my parents a surprise Dinner at Narcosses' so they can see the fireworks while they eat!!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

What a good daughter you are! I am sure they will love it!

 

[lexmas]

Subbing!

Love your PTR so far!

Walk it out looks like a really fun wii game. Too bad we already have too many games we don't play! My mom was looking for something where she could walk though, so maybe I'll get it for her! The wii is amazing to get you moving, isn't it? My son is 3 and he ran for 10 minutes one day with it. Didn't tire him out, but I was tired watching him!

Your daughter is so cute! She's going to love meeting the princesses!

I always get a park hopper, but I was considering not getting one. I like the ability to go to different parks, but it doesn't happen. I think we're ending up with an AP this year, so it's not a decision I have to make right now, but I would think more days and no hopper, and you won't miss it!

That's so sweet of you to book a surprise dinner for your parents. I'm sure they'll love it!

Can't wait to read more!
