Sensing Pixie Dust I Am! A Star Wars Weekend PTR! New PTR Link pg. 77!

[MeMom]

The necklace is great. I have looked at earrings like that several times, but have not bought them yet.

The tree skirt is cute! Things like that can sure help one have a Disney Christmas at home.

You graduated from the Miss Anita Wigd School of Enabling, didn't you???

P.S. I just posted an enabling post to you, too. I think it was on jillyb's report. Apparently I was in class with you.

I totally need to attend this school. I helped my girlfriend book a trip for a long weekend in May. Totally my daughters' fault because they talk about Disney all the time!! I have to look into this for her.

I love the Christmas and snow pictures. How wonderful that Charles bought you such great Disney gifts!! I have the same taste as Chelsea. I want a Northface jacket too and who doesn't love VERA!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Great Christmas and snow pics! I really love your necklace, I saw it in May and it almost came home with me, not sure why I didn't buy it!

I totally laughed out loud at the pictures of your dogs removing the sight from that poor unsuspecting snowman

Hope you and yours have a very Happy New Year!

 

[Tink-erin-belle]

I was on the Disney Store online yesterday and saw that very same necklace! I almost got it for myself “just because” but decided to wait for an actual occasion My birthday is coming up in a couple of months, so I already know what my present to myself will be That and a Tinkerbell wallet! It looks like you guys had a great Christmas. I hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!

 

[Native NYer]

Chelsea is a smart girl. A pretty blue North Face jacket is not to be worn when building a snowman! Her Vera is very pretty.

Love the necklace and tree skirt.

Bert is adorable! And so are your dogs
If you and your family get the urge to build a snowman again, please feel free to visit me in NYC. We're still digging out of our snowpocalypse.

Your ptr has been dangerous for me, even though you just started. I'm considering a quick Memorial Day weekend trip to bring my nephew to SWW. Hmmm, we'll see what happens

Do it.
Do it!
Do it!
Go, Star Wars Weekends!!!

I was a cheerleader at the Miss Anita Wigd School of Enabling.

(Picture the Saturday Night Live cheerleaders, because I was every bit as good as them. Those chess matches were wild! )

 

[MegansMom]

OMG......Gang, I can't stop laughing at all the fun and enabling going on!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad Jackie started this PTR so we would have some good reading!

Love the Christmas pictures, presents, and SNOW!!!!! We have had so much of it here lately, that I did have a moment before Christmas where I wished I could figure out a way to pack it up to send to you all---never forgetting how much joy it brings to your kids! BUT, then you got your own!!!! White Christmases are the best!!!!

Okay girlie.....now where are my details!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Great Christmas pictures and I love your snowman with Cheese balls for the face!
I was chuckling because there were leaves mixed in! Our snow is so deep, we couldn't find leaves or grass for months even if we wanted to!
I'm glad you had a white Christmas!

Your necklace is so pretty. Hmmm...I might look good with one of those around my neck.
Happy New Year!!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I love the snowmen... my whole family was cracking up at the dogs eating the snowman's face!

Happy New Year!

 

[TarzansKat]

I have to laugh at the dogs eating the snowman. It makes me think of the dogs we had when I was little and how even if there weren't food products included, they loved to eat and play in the snow.

Funny how you had snow and we didn't, huh? Ours came later, though, so it all worked out.

Thanks for sharing your family photos, as always, I love seeing pictures of the kids. I was lucky in that Nemo didn't wake us until 600am...unfortunately, Squirt was up at 500.

I can't wait to hear where you're staying....


and see how long it lasts.

 

[disneyfan61]

I love the VB pattern on the mini hipster & the necklace & tree skirt is so cute!!

That is so funny about the snowman & the dogs eating the cheese balls

Luckily we did not get as much snow as they were predicting here. They were predicting 18 inches but we only got about 8 inches. We are having a "heat wave" with temps in the 40's the next few days then they are saying back to the 20's.

I wish you, Charles, Connor & Chelsea a very Happy New Year with lots of love & happiness.

 

[lmillercrew]

Bert was a very nice looking snowman. We've had some snow here and I was hoping that we would have fresh snow for Christmas, but no go. Just had old snow. Today it was almost 50! Very unheard of in NW Ohio this time of year. Can't wait to hear more of your trip details.

 

[miprender]

Happy New Year!!

I am so jealous of you going during the Star Wars weekend. My family is so into Star Wars and we would love to go then but unfortunately our schools don't get out until the end of June.

So I will have to live vicariously through you

 

[Charleston Princess]

Awww, both of your snowmen are super cute!

Thanks! Charles and the kids had a lot of fun making them!

Love your Christmas pictures, I can't believe how much older Connor looks from your summer trip pictures!

He is growing up much too quickly! We will be done paying on Chelsea's braces in May, so I guess it will be Connor's turn next. Just in time for him to start middle school.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year, Leslie!

Great Christmas photos, Jackie!

I love the snow pictures. That snowman is huge!

I love that tree skirt. I visited that tree skirt (or one similar) at our Disney Store throughout all of the Christmas season, but never did buy it. Maybe when Gordon and I have been married as long as you and Charles have, he'll also understand that I like Disney stuff!

Thanks, Julie! I am in love with my tree skirt. Charles picked that one out all on his own -- it's taken him fifteen years of marriage, but he is getting there.

Jackie!!! I love all these Christmas photos!!!! YAY!!!!

How fun! TOO COOL the snowman! You got more snow than we did over Christmas! So pretty when it falls, and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny about the demise of the cheese ball snowman face!! Bert is very cute, I love how the snowman is "speckled" with the grass... It gives him character!!!! Like a chia snowman... Okay, I thought that was funny...

Thanks, HD! Oh, yes, between the grass and the food products, the snowmen definitely had character. A couple of true Georgia snowmen.

ANYHOO.... OHH what a girl. NOT wanting to wear her Northface jacket in the snow... That had me laughing laughing!!!! Nice Vera pattern for her, too!

Chelsea cracks me up with that North Face. She is very protective of it!

Your family making snowmen was a great way to see friends on the DIS this morning!!

Happy New Year's to you too!!!!!

Now, it's raining buckets -- I wouldn't mind a nice snowfall in exchange for all this sogginess.

Happy New Year!

I live in Texas, so I have only seen 3 snows my whole life, but this reminds me of 2004. This same thing happened with our snow man! Oh, how I love snow, and wish it would occur more often!

I agree -- watching snow fall is so pretty! I really don't like the cold, though, so I wouldn't want to deal with it too often.

Happy New Year Jackie and Clan!!!!!!

Hope 2011 brings many new adventures and much love and happiness to your family!!

Happy New Year to you, too, Jen!

Loved the Christmas update, I adore Connor's choice of headgear!!!

For some reason, both my kids have always been drawn to sticking bows on themselves during the unwrapping of gifts.

WOOT WOOT what a gorgeous necklace and tree skirt!! Phillip is learning too, I got a Beauty and the Beast Snowglobe for Christmas!!! It's been added to my small but growing collection!!!!!

How pretty! Our boys are doing so well these days on the gift giving!

YAY for Chelsea getting what she wanted!! Santa was mighty good to her So out of curiousity on a normal day when school is not in session what time does Chelsea get up????

Chelsea has always been a pretty early riser -- during vacations she will wake up anywhere between seven and nine, typically. Now this morning she is still asleep since it was after one when we went to bed. Connor has always been my late sleeper. He would sleep until lunchtime if he could.

The dogs ate the snowman OOOOH...well guess there is a reason why a button nose and two eyes made out of coal LOL!! YAY for a White Christmas LOL!!!!

Good point!

You graduated from the Miss Anita Wigd School of Enabling, didn't you???

P.S. I just posted an enabling post to you, too. I think it was on jillyb's report. Apparently I was in class with you.

I did, I did!

You took very good notes in class, I have to say!

Missy, you must know me enough by now to KNOW that this thought already crossed my mind and my fingertips...

I almost priced out the trip for you -- but then I thought that might be a little too pushy! I will stick with the subtle hints.

Happy New Year CP family! Looks like it was another great Christmas at your house. I love that Charles is really getting in his Disney groove. The necklace and tree skirt are so cute! Glad Santa was good to the kids too.

Happy New Year, Christine! We had a great Christmas! I was so pleased with my presents from Charles.

On the SW topic, Connor can do a video tutorial to tell people all they need to know. Heck, he could probably sell it!

Hope you have a fun night!!

Heaven knows we have all the figures we would need to tell the story. LOL!

I loved the snow pictures. The snow made for a exciting Christmas day to remember. I love the pattern of Chelsea's bag.

Thanks! The snow did add that extra touch of magic to the day! The pattern on Chelsea's bag is the Hope Garden one -- I think it is discounted now.

My husband has finally realized a Disney gift is special. I received a small arribas Mickey to go with my Minnie that he gave me for my birthday.

How pretty!!!

The Disney store had a great sale on t shirts, but none in my size. About all they had left were sizes XS or XL. I guess that was a good thing for my wallet, considering my old washer died mid cycle and I just bought a new washer and dyer.

May 2011 be a blessed year for you.

Happy New Year to you! I guess I can skip a trek to the Disney Store -- neither of those sizes will fit me.

Chelsea is a super lucky girl! I love her coat and her bag. She has cute taste! And Charles did great with your gifts. Cute stuff!! I bet snow was lots of fun for you down there. Bert is adorable! Sorry he had to melt away though. Happy New Year Jackie!

Happy New Year, Kelli! Chelsea does have pretty good taste -- I figure once she outgrows the North Face, I will adopt it along with that Vera bag.

 

[Poolrat]

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Jackie, Charles,Chlesea and Connor

 

[Charleston Princess]

Love the necklace. It was in my hands last summer and I put it down. Doubt I will let it happen again!

You can have a white christmas... I hate snow and am so happy ours has melted. Stay away snow!

I love that necklace -- it makes me smile everytime I put it on!

Now, don't get me wrong, Laura. I don't want snow all winter -- just a good snowfall every now and then. I don't want to be digging out of it until March.

The necklace is great. I have looked at earrings like that several times, but have not bought them yet.

The tree skirt is cute! Things like that can sure help one have a Disney Christmas at home.

What? There are matching earrings??? Hmmm...I think I might need those to go with the necklace!

We are getting quite the collection of Disney Christmas items around here. I love it!!!

I totally need to attend this school. I helped my girlfriend book a trip for a long weekend in May. Totally my daughters' fault because they talk about Disney all the time!! I have to look into this for her.

Amazing how our love of Disney can influence others, isn't it?

I love the Christmas and snow pictures. How wonderful that Charles bought you such great Disney gifts!! I have the same taste as Chelsea. I want a Northface jacket too and who doesn't love VERA!

Thanks! I love those North Face jackets. They are all the rage at our school. I would love to get Connor one once he slows down on the growing.

Great Christmas and snow pics! I really love your necklace, I saw it in May and it almost came home with me, not sure why I didn't buy it!

Thanks! I just love that necklace! I was so impressed that Charles picked it out without any hints from me!

I totally laughed out loud at the pictures of your dogs removing the sight from that poor unsuspecting snowman

We could not stop laughing when it was happening! It was too funny to watch Bella and Nala go after those cheese balls!

Hope you and yours have a very Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you, too, Michelle!

I was on the Disney Store online yesterday and saw that very same necklace! I almost got it for myself “just because” but decided to wait for an actual occasion My birthday is coming up in a couple of months, so I already know what my present to myself will be That and a Tinkerbell wallet! It looks like you guys had a great Christmas. I hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!

I think the necklace and the wallet would make great birthday presents for you!!! Happy New Year, Tink!

Chelsea is a smart girl. A pretty blue North Face jacket is not to be worn when building a snowman! Her Vera is very pretty.

Love the necklace and tree skirt.

Thanks, Jen!

Bert is adorable! And so are your dogs
If you and your family get the urge to build a snowman again, please feel free to visit me in NYC. We're still digging out of our snowpocalypse.

Snowpocalypse is the perfect description for what you got the day after Christmas if the pictures on the news are any indication!!! LOL!

Your ptr has been dangerous for me, even though you just started. I'm considering a quick Memorial Day weekend trip to bring my nephew to SWW. Hmmm, we'll see what happens

Let me join MeMom in chanting that you should!!!

Do it.
Do it!
Do it!
Go, Star Wars Weekends!!!

I was a cheerleader at the Miss Anita Wigd School of Enabling.

(Picture the Saturday Night Live cheerleaders, because I was every bit as good as them. Those chess matches were wild! )

I can tell you made straight A's, too! LOL!

OMG......Gang, I can't stop laughing at all the fun and enabling going on!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad Jackie started this PTR so we would have some good reading!

Do you need some enabling, too, Jen!!! When are you going back to Mickey's house???

Love the Christmas pictures, presents, and SNOW!!!!! We have had so much of it here lately, that I did have a moment before Christmas where I wished I could figure out a way to pack it up to send to you all---never forgetting how much joy it brings to your kids! BUT, then you got your own!!!! White Christmases are the best!!!!

A White Christmas was simply perfect, but the next time we get snow I would like it to be on a school day.

Okay girlie.....now where are my details!

Soon...

Great Christmas pictures and I love your snowman with Cheese balls for the face!
I was chuckling because there were leaves mixed in! Our snow is so deep, we couldn't find leaves or grass for months even if we wanted to!
I'm glad you had a white Christmas!

I can't fathom snow that deep!!!

Your necklace is so pretty. Hmmm...I might look good with one of those around my neck.
Happy New Year!!

You would! You would!

Happy New Year, Sheree!

I love the snowmen... my whole family was cracking up at the dogs eating the snowman's face!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Amy!

Watching the dogs attack the snowman had us laughing pretty hard at the time!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I have to laugh at the dogs eating the snowman. It makes me think of the dogs we had when I was little and how even if there weren't food products included, they loved to eat and play in the snow.

Our dogs do love to frolic in the snow! The last time Nala was terrified of it, but she really enjoyed it this time.

Funny how you had snow and we didn't, huh? Ours came later, though, so it all worked out.

It was weird to have snow this early in the season. Yesterday it was 60 degrees here -- go figure! Crazy weather!

Thanks for sharing your family photos, as always, I love seeing pictures of the kids. I was lucky in that Nemo didn't wake us until 600am...unfortunately, Squirt was up at 500.

There is always one child who has to wake up super early!

I can't wait to hear where you're staying....


and see how long it lasts.

I think it will actually last a pretty long time this time since I don't know if you can switch resorts once the Free Dining booking period has ended. This may be a first for me!

I love the VB pattern on the mini hipster & the necklace & tree skirt is so cute!!

Thanks!

That is so funny about the snowman & the dogs eating the cheese balls

They spotted those cheese balls as soon as we let them outside. Poor snowman never stood a chance. LOL!

Luckily we did not get as much snow as they were predicting here. They were predicting 18 inches but we only got about 8 inches. We are having a "heat wave" with temps in the 40's the next few days then they are saying back to the 20's.

It was in the 60s here yesterday -- it felt like spring -- but I think this is a cold front coming through with all the rain this morning, so we will be back to our normal winter temps.

I wish you, Charles, Connor & Chelsea a very Happy New Year with lots of love & happiness.

Happy New Year to you, too!

Bert was a very nice looking snowman. We've had some snow here and I was hoping that we would have fresh snow for Christmas, but no go. Just had old snow. Today it was almost 50! Very unheard of in NW Ohio this time of year. Can't wait to hear more of your trip details.

It was really warm here yesterday, too! I am definitely okay with having a mild winter since it will mean a lower heating bill. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

I am so jealous of you going during the Star Wars weekend. My family is so into Star Wars and we would love to go then but unfortunately our schools don't get out until the end of June.

So I will have to live vicariously through you

Happy New Year to you, too! We will take lots of pictures to share!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Jackie, Charles,Chlesea and Connor

Happy New Year, Pat!

 

[TarzansKat]

I don't know whether or not I should be telling you this, but I do believe that as long as you book under the promo, even when it ends you can still try to switch.

However, I could be wrong.

Very, very wrong.

Let's just say I am. And honestly, I don't remember if you can switch resorts, or just make modifications to the reservation at the resort you're at, for example, adding days or adding the hopper option, kwim?

It's probably best if I think we can't switch resorts! Charles actually picked the resort we are going to be staying at, so I don't think he would be happy with me if I switched it on him. Have to keep Charles happy for the trip, you know!

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, I like that he picked it! Yes, yes, must keep the "non" Disney man happen. Although I think non Disney man is turning into more of a Disney man with every trip!

I've waffled on my resort choice but know that this is the year for us to stay at CBR. Especially with our trip being so short, and wanting to take advantage of double beds while the kids are still little.
