WOHO for Mickey mail!!!!!

Did you happy dance in person?!

Yes ma'm! My neighbor even saw and asked what I was so happy about. It made what was already a pretty good day even better!!

I am so jealouse of the Mickey mail. We are staying at the Dolphin so no Magical Express for us So I guess I will just have to celebrate with you!

i got some mail today.

I've never been this close to a disney vacation before, so it feels almost confirmed in my head that i'm going!! It also almost makes me want to pay the $15 or so to check my suitcase........but i'm still too frugal to do that! i'm sooooooooooo happy!!!!

whoo hooo

 

[keishashadow]

as bonny said, woohoo to u!!! btw, don't 'lose' your ME return tixi found out the bus driver makes u do the walk of shame back to luggage people @ resort to get a replacement voucher.

i rarely buy the disney boozeexpensive. I have rumrunners from crusing, may just pack one of them in checked luggage filled w/vodka & add a 'lil something to my iced tea from the food court in the evening lol...sounds positively decadent, WWWD?

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Love me some Mickey mail...so great!

 

[RAPstar]

I can breathe a little easier. Spoke with my area manager again today and he confirmed that I should still be getting 40 hours after labor day (I'm only part time, technically, but work full time during the summer since we're busier then, and then after labour day I'm supposed to go back to part time, but the full time person for the office I'm at has been out most of the summer due to spine surgery). So yay! Though I do slightly feel bad for my coworker who had spine surgery. Is it wrong of me to hope he doesn't come back till after my trip? If so, I apologize. Let's hope this doesn't create bad karma.

 

[RAPstar]

So.....as most of my planning is done (and I've barely changed anything, lol), I figured I'd just do a random update with some of my favorite pictures from my one day at Epcot from 08.

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Love the pics!!!

 

[disneyxo]

The pictures are great!!!

 

[debsters41]

Way to keep up the excitement!

 

[RAPstar]

Not trip related, but I just got a small promotion at work. Starting in Nov. I will be in a full time position in Allen, TX and I think I also got a small raise too? Now just cross your fingers that I still get 40 hours until then, or at lest until I go on my trip!

On a side not, somewhat trip related, wdwmagic reported that the crane to do the castle "dream" lights will be there both the days I plan to do MK. Oh well!

That's awesome news!!!

 

[RAPstar]

So just a couple of changes I made:

9/21 MK half day; California Grill 9:35pm
9/22 DHS; 1:40pm Hollywood Brown Derby; will cancel ADR if conflicts with AIE
9/23 MK; MNSSHP!!!!; 1:25pm Liberty Tree Tavern
9/24 Epcot, PM EMH; 3:15pm Akershus
9/25 AK; 2:30 Yak and Yeti (may cancel); 8:30pm Boma
9/26 Epcot; 12:45pm Via Napoli (may cancel); 8:20pm Le Cellier
9/27 AK AM EMH; leave about 2-3 head to DTD; 5:30pm Paradiso 37

Yes, I'm going to MNSSHP now!!!! I had to work at another store this week and then again next week so with the extra money from getting paid for mileage I can afford to go!! I was gonna try to go Tues. as originally planned, but Thurs. works better so I can still keep my Cali Grill ADR, and now won't have to deal with the Fantasmic crowds at DHS on Thurs!

 

[debsters41]

Hi again, sounds like everything is coming up roses for your trip! Have you decided what to wear to MNSSHP? Also, did I miss the video on you tube for what you have decided to sing at AIE? Inquiring minds want to know

 

[RAPstar]

Probably just my pink cape. I', not 100% what I'll do at AIE, I'll decide when I get there I guess lol

Wow, Robbie, your trip is going to be AWESOME. I'm so excited for you that you got into Pop. We stayed in the 70's building a couple years ago, right next to the giant Mickey phone, and it was my favorite spot at a value ever.

Also, you're doing Liberty Tree Lunch, Le Cellier, AND Boma? For us, that's like the holy trinity of Disney tastiness. YUM!

Also, for getting to go to MNSSHP. You will it. As a college student, I haven't been allowed to attend fo several years, and it makes me soooooooo sad. Watch the parade for me!

Finally, congrats on the extra hours and the promotion at work! It's so wonderful that things are working out for you! You deserve it!

Thanks. A lot of meditation and prayer and pixie dust have helped a lot this year.

I love these pics!

Thanks! Hopefully I'll have more great ones this trip.
