Grey the color of shame... HAHAHA!!!! It's totally going to be! You see somebody with grey and know they have no idea what they're doing! I wouldn't be caught dead with a grey band!! *shudders at the thought*

I am one of those people who have to be color coordinated all the time. Picking a color for my magic bands was difficult to say the least. All I kept thinking about was the fact that the band wasn't going to match so-and-so outfit. Yes, I have a problem.

We have a two night room only stay and then a package so we had to choose two sets of bands. Twice the stress!

 

[melnbil]

Just wanted to say hey!!! It looks like we will both be at Epcot on the 31st, if plans don't change. Maybe we can see you guys! Will you send me a facebook invite for the May group thru facebook. I can't wait to keep up with your plans. See you soon!

You could always check that both sets of bands are active and use different ones for different days, depending on what your mood is or which matches what you're wearing.

 

[KatMark]

that you got your magic bands customized with colors. I do envy you your charge. One of these days I'll learn how to do that.

I can totally see my daughter and me snubbing our noses at the "grey band families"! Hahahahaha! Just kidding, of course!

hahahahaha, that sooooo sounds likes me! Hey at least you'll get some variety with getting two sets of bands! Of course they HAVE to be different colors....oh that would drive me insane if both stays were the same color!

Hey Melody! You can count on us being at rope drop that morning, then making a dash for Test Track! Here's the link to that FB May group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/May2014WDW/

I'm sure we will see y'all soon! We'll definitely have lots to talk about at the spring consignment sale!

Oooh, I like it!

We got our welcome kit today! (not the magicbands yet, but the kit, magnet, etc.!) woohoo!

Love the plans Alan !! I am nowhere near making mine yet !! Of course I am waiting for Janet to let me know here plans !!!

Hi Rosie! Oh, it's so hard coordinating plans with everyone isn't it? Luckily, our family is pretty much on the same page for this trip.

Alan just sent you a link to the group! And I'm an Admin, so I'll add you as soon as I see the request The more the merrier!!

"Grey band families"... love it. I think that's a term that will be sticking with me!

 

[alan_renfroe]

Well, I did something yesterday I've never done before....I bought a used car! DS Wil turned 17 years old this week and we've given him our '99 Camry. (We actually gave it to him last year and Elizabeth and I have just been sharing the Honda Odyssey since last year.) Anyway, it was clear that we now have 3 drivers and needed a third car. We found a pretty good deal on Craigslist and went to see it last night. Result = It's OURS! A 2006 Hyundai Sonota.









This won't be our "Disney" vehicle. We will still make our Disney trip in our 2008 Honda Odyssey! But I'm happy to now be a 3-car family!

Our son leased a Hyundai last year and loves it. He loves it so much, he bought a used one for his new wife.

Alan just sent you a link to the group! And I'm an Admin, so I'll add you as soon as I see the request The more the merrier!!

Just got it!! Request sent. Thank you.

And yes we will have lots to talk about.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Nice "new to you" car! Isn't it the greatest feeling knowing that you don't have to be the chauffer anymore? Our youngest inherited his Dad's F-150 and it's so nice not to have to drive him back and forth to school, to the movies, etc.

 

[KatMark]

Happy Birthday, Alan.

Hi Kathy! I had been considering buying a new Hyundai, since they are made right here in Alabama. But we decided that it made more since to buy a used one that we could pay for and not have a car payment, then hopefully pass it on to Wil or Juliana in a few years.

Alan just sent you a link to the group! And I'm an Admin, so I'll add you as soon as I see the request The more the merrier!!

Thanks~! I have no idea why, but for some reason we were deleted from our June 2014 Facebook group. I have NO idea why. So my solution? I started my own June 2014 group!

"Grey band families"... love it. I think that's a term that will be sticking with me!

Hahahahaha! I still think that's funny! And I LOVE the color grey!

Just got it!! Request sent. Thank you.

Hey Melody! I don't know what happened but apparently Elizabeth and I were kicked out of the June 2014 Facebook group. I have no clue why at all. Anyway, I just created a new June 2014 group and we would love to have you in it! Here is the link:

Thanks very much! And oh.....it's a wonderful feeling not having to drive kids everywhere! It's sad to see them not be kids anymore, but really rewarding to see them growing into responsible and respectable young adults! I'm very proud of them!

Happy Birthday, Alan.

​

Awwwww....thanks Kathy! That means a great deal to me! It was a good birthday!

Well this is interesting....Elizabeth and I were in a Facebook group for June, 2014 travellers to WDW. We were enjoying being a part of that group and sharing plans, stories, ADRs, and such. Well, I noticed today that I had not gotten a notification from that group in a day or two.....so today I started searching for the group and couldn't find it. After a bit of research, apparently we were dropped from the group. I have NO IDEA why! We are nice people and only made positive posts all of the time!

Anyway, I'm a little upset because friendships were beginning to be forged and now I suppose we are no longer a part of that group. So my solution? I created my own June 2014 WDW group on Facebook! Any of you that would like to join, we would LOVE to have you be a part of our new group! Here is the link:

That's awful! I promise not to drop you from the May 2014 group!

Thanks Andrea! It's just so weird....maybe there was a mistake or something. I've sent the group's admin a message....surely it was a mistake or misunderstanding or something.

We love the May 2014 group! Thanks for having our backs!

Mystery solved. It was a misunderstanding. One of the group's admins thought Elizabeth was posting an "ad". All she posted was a link to a site that had cute tie-dye Mickey t-shirts for sale and her comment was "so cute!" And for that they kicked both of us out and blocked us? Well the group's creator sent me an apology and has re-added us to the group. I mean I understand not wanting to have spammers in the group, but that post was in NO WAY an "ad" for anyone. Anyway, apology accepted and moving on.
