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

[deslynnpatterson]

Good morning, Des. Great Day 1 plans -- I love them. You can get a nice adult beverage at the Laguna Bar (the outside bar by the lake). We've never done LTT for dinner (but then I am not a fan of the Thanksgiving dinner food -- turkey, stuffing, etc.). You reminded me I have to look and see when Wishes and the Electrical Parade are running for while we are there. I don't know how I forgot this.

Thanks Kathy yeah i have to double check the schedules too to make sure i have the right time for the parades also.

 

[deslynnpatterson]

Good luck with your interview! Day 1 plans sound great! Our first ride must be Pirates as well!

thanks so much I love pirates It always has to be first

 

[deslynnpatterson]

Just said a little prayer for your interview!

aww thanks so much for the prayer the big day is tomorrow I will let everyone know how it goes!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

Good luck with your interview! DH is going off island for training soon, too, and he'll be gone for almost 2 1/2 weeks. We've never been apart for 24 hours before, so it'll be weird!! Like you said, though, it'll be easy to stay busy getting stuff done around the house and ready for the trip!

thanks so much for the good luck vibes Yeah its so have being away from your hubby-- as much as mine gets on my nerves at times i still miss him LOL thank godness it went fast when he was away-- i hope the time your hubby goes away is fast too Just try to stay busy and do fun girly things for yourself

 

[deslynnpatterson]

Good luck with your interview!

[deslynnpatterson]

Day 2 : Epcot

I think i will wake up around 6:30am-- i am always so early to rise I will get showered and let my mom sleep a little while- then she will get up and ready and we will head to the pepper market at about 8am for breakfast We are trying something new this year-- we are going to split a breakfast-- and split a lunch everyday- instead of having a big meal-- so that way we can enjoy our counter service dinners more Most likely we will get a to go ticket at the pepper market-- and then we will go outside and eat our breakfast by the lake.

9:00am- we will get on the bus and head over to epcot-- first will be spaceship earth then we will head over to soarin and we will get a fast pass-- and then get in line for soaring-- and maybe use our fast pass when we get off depending on how long the line is then we will do everything else that is in the land-- after that we will head over to the calm mobiles and the aquariums and do everything around that area-- and maybe the Ellen Degeneres ride-- depending on the time at this point we might get lunch around 12:00 or 1:00-- most likely we will get something in the eletric umbrella-- we enjoy eating there most likely we will get chicken nuggets and fries- or something easy to share.

after lunch we will start taking a walk around the countries and spend time there and look at all the shops. I especially enjoy china and japan

8:10pm: we have our dinner at Le Cellier-- I am getting my normal Filet mignon-- well done-- butterfly cut-- with the mashed potatoes instead of rositto-- i will also really enjoy the pretzel bread, and will either get the chocolate moose for dessert-- which is what i normally get -- or I will get the chocolate whiskey cake

after dinner depending on the time we will try to see Illuminations-- and then head back to CSR and get a bus to downtown disney

that is my day 2 plans

Also i have a question about the dessert party-- who has done this? And what was your experience like? good or bad? we are thinking of doing it-- but also wondering if it will be too much food with what we will be eating on the meal plan-- what does everyone think?

Day 3 will be up shortly

 

[deslynnpatterson]

so today was the big day for the interview which i think went very well! So i am crossing my fingers that i will be starting a new job when i get home from disney send pixie dust my way!! Also i finally got meds-- i was presribed wellbutrin for depression and anxiety and ambien for sleep-- lets just say-- i don't think my body is made to take meds-- LOL! I tried i took the wellbutrin for 5 days-- but keep getting a floaty head feeling-- and felt comfusing and like my brain wasn't all there-- so i said forget the meds and i stopped and feel great today i don't like the way i feel on them and i think i will do fin without them

Also -- I am ready to book my next year trip already with the news of free dinning being accouned today!! That is soo exciting!! I just have to figure out when were and with who i am going with

Now for day 3:
Today is Hollywood studios-- we will wake up around 6:30 or get ready got have our breakfast-- and either swim for a little in the morning or head right to hollywood studios! we don't really have a game plan for hollywood studios except most likely we will go on the great movie ride first which we normally do! I love the american idol experience too-- muppets 3d-- beauty and the beast-- little mermaid-- are just a few of my favorites after we hit a few favorites we will go to pizza planet for lunch!! this has become a tradition!! most likely my mom and i will eat lunch about 12:00-- and we will get a pizza most likely pepperoni and split it! then we will digest our lunch and maybe do the backlot tour or indiana jones-- something were we can sit for a awhile-- we will look at some gift shops-- and hit up whatever else we missed Then we will have dinner at 50's prime time i believe at 6:30 pm. I always get the shame thing here every year but i love it- i will get the diet coke for a shot of cherry-- the pot roast-- and a strawberry Sundae for dessert. After we eat since HS closes earlier normally we might see if there are extra magic hours this night anywhere else-- or we will head back to the resort for a few adult beverages or go to downtown disney-- or over to the boardwalk for awhile, Or hit up the hot tub at CSR and soak and crying feet
most likely we will be in our room and in bed around midnight-- or later-- who knows LOL but hopefully we will get a nice freshing good nights sleep for the next day which is going to be a long day because its EMH at magic kingdom! stay tuned for day 4!!!

Sorry the meds were not working for you. I have that problem with certain meds too and can't take them.

Days 2 and 3 sound great. We've not done the dessert party, but I've read great reviews of it.

And here's lots of that a new job awaits you when you return from Disney.

thanks so much for the pixie dust for the job its something that i really want i feel so much better off the meds its suprising how something they give you to feel better makes you feel worse
