sept 2010 PTR- -- because this is how we roll to disney:)

[deslynnpatterson]

wow sorry everyone i seemed to have fell off the face of the earth! life has just been crazy busy! Don't you hate when life gets in the way of the disboards? I sure do!! I hope everyone had a nice weekend I was crazy busy-- went out with the girls friday night, sat a pittsburgh pirate game with my parents and Josh -- it was called skyblast and after the game collective soul performed and they shot off the most amazing fireworks ever from the tops of the building! I am so blessed to have eye sight to see those amazing sights!! Sunday Josh's grandma turned 80th so we spend time with his side of the family-- it was a glorious weekend This weekend will be busy too- my best friend turns 30th on sat and is having a party, then Sunday Josh and I am going to have a picnic at a state park near us and go fishing -- and go on the beach at the lake and maybe canoe-- June is a busy month-- then it will calm down the rest of the summer and nothing will be going on

Not much to report on the disney front-- except i need a opnion on a ADR-- has everyone ever been to yak and yeti table service and yak and yeti counter service? Is the counter service food the same you can get in the table service? We have a ressie for Yak and yeti but wondering if its worth it-- so any opnions on that would be great-- we were thinking of replacing that with the wolfgang puck cafe-- not the express but regular cafe-- so anything good or bad about those places that you might have to offer would be really helpful!

This Friday i am going out with my mom shopping for some disney clothes we are trying to get a little at a time! Tomorrow marks the 3 month mark till my trip!!! So full speed ahead with the working out and healthy eating

We have been having crazy rain in pittsburgh lately and severe storms-- and more are coming tomorrow I am sick of the rain-- but its good for my garden and little flowers

I hope to have more disney news to report soon-- and i will update everyone on my shopping trip for sure I cannot believe i just got back may 19th from disney-- i swear it seems like its been a year already!! i am so ready for my sept trip!!!!

good night everyone

Hey, Desiree.

LOVE Disney clothes shopping.

We went to Yak & Yeti in 2008 and it was the second favorite meal of our trip. Here is a link to my dining reviews for that trip -- it should be on the first or second page. If we were going to AK this year, we would be eating there again:

i had shingles!!! UGH!! The adult form of chicken pox-- and I have been miserable! I would never wish this upon anyone! It was horrible -- they say it comes from stress-- and the chicken pox virsus re- activates in your body-- i had my shingles on my neck and the pain was so unbearable!!! I didn't know what it was for about a week- then finally went to the doctors when a rash with bisters formed-- and they confirmed it was shingles. I got some really good meds-- and vicoden for the pain-- but i think that was a little too strong for me-- i was acting all goofy when i took it LOL i dropped my grilled cheese on the floor and was laughing so hard when the dogs were licking it LOL I was a mess!! So today is my last day off of work and i am feeling better-- still not 100% but better! I keep telling myself i need to get better for disney and actually thinking of disney helped me get through the worse of the pain! I hope to get back on track with my working out maybe today or tomorrow i haven't been on the treadmill in like a week and a half two weeks but-- if anything i lost weight from being in too much pain to eat-- and not being able to keep too much food down from the meds- ugh! I was a mess!

So now for disney related topics I will catch up on everyones TR and PTRS i promise

I went shopping online the other day and ordered a few shirts from express-- i will post pics once i get the shirts and I was at Marshalls the other day and got a few cute shirts! I am going shopping with a friend tomorrow for a girls day out-- and i hope to check out a few shirts i liked at American Eagle! I also plan on sitting down with my mom this week-- and typing up our disney plans for the week we always make a internary with all of our ADR confirmation #'s times or ADRS, plans for the day-- so we have a idea of what we are doing

So what are everyone's 4th of July plans-- please share I think i am going downtown pittsburgh with my hubby- for a free concert, the regatta, and to watch fireworks, walk along the river and just have a fun care free day!

Oh and in other disney news-- Josh and I are going to plan a May 2011 trip we are planning on staying at AK and planning on renting points-- so soon i will be looking into renting more points I love renting points! I think its my new favorite thing to do to get to disney cheap and to stay deluxe! well i am off to catch up on everyones PTRS! I missed everyone!! I promise i will be back

Hello, deslynnpatterson I came to snoop around your PTR too!

Ooh, gosh, I hope you get well soon. My friend Lotte got a very strong case of shingles (stress linked) and she's climbing the walls. Funny thing the doctors also did not give her a good diagnosis soon, I think they forgot the children-like deseases one adult can also happen to have!

i had shingles!!! UGH!! The adult form of chicken pox-- and I have been miserable!

As it'll be my very first time in WDW I cannot help you with your ADR questions...
I know we got one ADR at Yaki&Yeti (09/08 dinner) mostly b/c my fiancee liked the photos of the restaurant!

I'll be reading your very long PRT to get some 'disney' ideas.

OH, yesterday I gave myself a lovely red Eyeyore t-shirt!

Best regards!

Gigi

Desiree, I am so sorry to hear you've been so sick. Sending some extra that you are feeling 100% soon. Take care of yourself and you can continue your PTR when you are feeling better.

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Oh no!! I hope you're feeling better! Can't wait to read more when you're feeling better.

[deslynnpatterson]

hey everyone!! WOW has life been a little nutty lately thankfully everything is calming down and i can catch up on some PTRS and TR!! My trip is getting closer!!! less than 2 months now i can't wait I am going to try to go shopping this weekend and get a few more tank tops from express i love that store so much! I also think my mom and I are going to pay our trip off in full this weekend!! woohoo!!! Everyday i talk to my mom she says " did you think of disney today"? I always tell her " i think if disney everyday" LOL!!! MY anxiety/depression has been getting the best of me lately-- my therapist tells me go to my happy place in my head and of course thats disney!!! I am finally going to get meds in August-- which I am going to be picky with what i get because i do not want to gain any weight-- i worked so hard at losing all my weight-- i will not let meds get in the way. Things have been good other than being a little stressed out! Did everyone see they exteneded free dinning till Dec? that is awesome I am actaully going to price out a dec trip after i finish catching up on PTRS i am just curious it it would be something i could swing! I want to have babies soon so i am fitting in as much disney are possible LOL just in case i would have to take a year or so off from disney-- I am not sure if i would go throught disney directly for a dec trip-- or maybe try renting points again. Josh and I decided a few weeks ago that since he cannot go this year we will go in May of next year-- he said he cannot wait till sept he needs a disney fix too! I think i am getting obessed just a little!! hahahahaha but thats okay us disney nutts stick together! The traveling bug bite me in the butt big time LOL thats all i ever want to do!

I think my mom and I are also going to finish working on our daily plans-- and i can post those shortly we always right a internary for each day-- print it out-- and follow it. We also got a 100 dollar disney gift card that i got from work-- we are trying to decide what to do with it are choices are:
1. get a nice souvenir each such as a disney fleece blanket and a few other things or, each a pick a pearl
2. MNSSHP- might be a little more than 100 dollars but at least it can go toward it
3. A spa treatment at cornado springs
4. activities like characters in flight, bikes, boats, maybe behind the seeds tour
5. La Nouba

whatever we decide if we need tickets we are going to have to get them soon!! What do you guys vote for? I am not sure if i have any following anymore-- and that is my own fault for not keeping this up-- but feel free to join in and join the fun I promise i will update more often

well off to catch up on TR and PTRS and then treadmill time

 

[racefanof88]

Hey Desiree I'm still here too. I really want to do the pick a pearl thing, but I forget about it every time we are at Epcot . I can't wait to get back to Disney and have a good time. I have been so depressed lately, with the oil spill, I haven't been a very good disser.

 

[onelilspark]

I was on Amatriptiline (sorry about the spelling...I spelled it phonetically) for a preventative for my migraines. Started at the end of December, by March I had gained 25 pounds and I was super depressed. It was like it had the total opposite effect on me. Ugh, that was awful. That and I was extremely anxious. We went on a cruise and I totally freaked out on our first port day...things that never would have bothered me made me totally lose my cool.

Long story short: good luck!

 

[KatMark]

Desiree, glad to see you back...we've missed you. Hope you are completely better now, and I love the plans you've added--especially the spa!

thanks Dand will still following along!! I really need to be a better diser-- so sad how life gets in the way-- oh the oil spill is so terrible-- i hope with they saying they capped it is true and it will start letting up-- i will horrible for all the animals, peoples, and beaches and vacation plans effected by all of this-- its so sad Doing the pick a pearl is so much fun in Epcot you should try to do it during your sept trip and get it made into a little necklace or something that you can wear all the time and think of disney and your pearl picking experience

Thanks for the good luck If i decide to do on anything i am sure i will need a lot of good luck

Hey hun! Sorry haven't been on your ptr in a little while, I just got back from disneyland and am just catching up on the disboards. I'm hoping you taking some medications will help, I can't imagine what you're going through, I really hope they help! As for your plans for that gift card, they all seem great! We're goint to mnsshp this year, so that would be fun and of course I always recomend lanouba, it was amazing and definitely worth seeing! Can't wait to hear more of your plans!!
