that would be fun! to plan... and make me just a little less depressed the week of May that ya'll are all there :rotfl2: I tried to drop hints to Leanne about a quick Christmas trip next year at that time (it should be a slow week)--because you see she has said several times she would like to see it at Christmas :santa:

and we all must remember we will be on the coast of FL the week after :beach: I have to be sure Danny gets his :beach: trip this year :lmao: or no Disney trip for me and Ashton!!! :eek: I plan to book both trips on the same day to be sure we all get what we want:idea:
I may have to check into a Christmas trip again. If things stay stable at work it is probably very doable. Last year was so crazy with paycuts, layoffs, etc that I hated to make that kind of a commitment. I really do want to see everything decorated for Christmas. I just know I can't go over a year without being in my happy place. :lmao:
 
oh! don't tease me Leanne...:rotfl:
but, you both realize that we plan to go the week after Thanksgiving...we plan to hit the road on Friday w/a Sat,Sun,Mon at other theme parks and Tue-Sat at Disney

so, don't tease me...that would not be very nice cause I would love to meet up with ya'll in Disney:santa: what a wonderful Christmas gift that would be to meet at the most magical place in the world!!! I know, I know, you are in the planning stage...but now you need to think of AP's

Ashton just joined me from reading to Gwendolyn & Joe and told me that it was time to go to sleep :lmao:
Happy planning!!! to all of you!!
:wave2:Connie
 
I just get so annoyed when posts disappear :headache::mad:.

It would be great to plan a trip at Christmas even if we were only able to come for that weekend.

Dale wants to go to Talladega this Saturday for the truck race, but I'm not to sure I want to go because it may rain and I hate driving 11 hours for nothing :sad2:. We would have to leave here at 5am so we could get there at 10:00 or 10:30am, then it will be 10:00-10:30pm before we get back home :eek:. I guess we will just have to see what the weather channel says huh?
 
Danny wants to go to a nascar event...I keep telling one day I will ship him off to one and I will go to Disney with Ashton:mickeyjum--I would even let him take the car; Ashton and I can fly :laughing:
if he could stay up when he drove I would tell him to just go...although he goes to a great deal of them locally (not nascar--not the same:confused3 )

I hope the rain moves off we are suppose to have a wonderful Saturday and sunday!! :sunny: :hmghost: just wish I knew what we were going to do for Halloween
 

Found you! I think you need to start a May PTR!! I am sorry to hear about your ex Mother In Law :hug:
YAY, I am so glad the pin code worked out. POP looks fun, maybe I could bring the girls over for a meet and swim.
Man, am I hoping for a pin code.
 
Sorry I haven't been on. I have been giving my house one of those top to bottom cleanings. Dallas and I went through one of his toy boxes and threw out a 30 gallon bag and another half bag of old toys. It was stuff that couldn't really be donated. I cleaned carpets, scrubbed floors, rearranged furniture etc.......... I am POOPED and I have to work the next two days :scared1:.

NASCAR races are A LOT of fun. It is as much fun watching all the people around you as it is watching the race itself. We use to stay with family in Anniston and make it our vacation. I am terrified of heights, but the mountains are nice up in that area. When we started going to Disney every year we cut out staying and just go for the day. Local racing is nothing like NASCAR. When they go by at 190 mph the sound is unbelievable and you can actually feel it.

If it looks like rain we won't go.

I'm glad you are here :hug:. I do need to start a May PTR. I REALLY need to finish this TR. I just can't seem to find the time :sad2:. Thank you about ex MIL. My ex-husband seems to be taking it well, he is still busy with Wills and trusts right now so he is keeping busy.

I'm glad everything worked out with the pin code too. I was really worried when the reservation confirmation came in Amanda's name :eek:. Pop was great, I wanted to try CBR, but Dale said he would rather stay at Pop again and use the extra money on something else. It would be so much fun to get together and have a day at the pool. We were in the 80's area so we had the computer pool. I have got to get to our Tuesday because I have pool pictures of Dale and Dallas.


Hey girl! How are you doing? Are you going to Talledega?

Doing good, I think? I'm so tired right now I don't know.........:lmao:. We are gonna go if it doesn't rain. It's not looking to good right now :sad1:.
 
I know you are working today Dana. Have a good one.

Ginny

Yeah, I had to work Thursday and Friday. I was really busy Friday, I'm glad I have the weekend off. We were going to go the Talledega for the truck race today, but the rain kept us away. Now I wish we had went because it stopped raining before race time :sad2:.

Hope you have great weekend and a fun Halloween.

Don and I are fighting over who has to get out of their chair to answer the doorbell. One of Sheri's old high school friends was just here with his two little girls. Sheri just was getting ready to leave so it was nice she got to see him.

Hope your evening is good. Sorry you didn't get to go to the race. Crazy weather we are having you can't make any plans.

Enjoy your day tomorrow.
 
OK, finally an update on the trip. When I left off last time we had gone to Flipper's Pizza and retired to the room. That was Monday September 28th. So it is now Tuesday, September 29th and we have tickets for MNSSHP :thumbsup2. We decided not to go to a park that morning and spend the early part of the day at the pool and doing laundry. We knew we needed a few more things at Walmart so we dressed and headed over. Dallas had been wanting a game from GameStop so we went there first, it is in a strip mall next to Walmart. We picked up a 12 pack of diet Coke and some snacks then headed back to Pop. Dallas actually talked Dale into swimming with us so we gathered up our dirty clothes and headed out. The laundry is right next to the pool so it was easy. We put the clothes on to wash and went to swim. Now, I have to tell you Dallas does not know how to swim so he would get one of the swim vests they have at the pool. Needless to say the child size does not fit him so he put it on backwards........:lmao:

I forgot to take the camera and I had to use my phone so not the best quality. While they were playing in the pool I was finishing up on the laundry, so I was back and forth between the pool and the laundry room. After swimming and laundry we headed back to the room for showers and a nap. We had a 5:30 ADR for Grand Floridian Cafe so after our naps we got ready and headed out. Dale didn't want Dallas and me to wear our costumes so we wore street clothes to eat.

We got back to the room and dressed for the party and headed to MK.




I asked Dale to take a picture of us and this is what I got.

DSCF3887-1.jpg


:sad2:

I made him try again

DSCF3888_edited-1.jpg


So we got the the TTC and guess what? Dallas for got his Mickey head pumpkin, so Dale went back to the car while we waited at the the TTC. By the time Dale got back Dallas and I were already sweating. I knew we were in for it. Dallas asked if he could take off the pirate hat? "Well, of course you can" in the backpack it went.

DSCF3889-1.jpg





If I could have I would have taken off that HOT HOT HOT HOT dress and put on some shorts :scared1: For it to be such a short dress it sure was HOT. Yeah, I mean sauna hot. So we made it to the monorail and waited. There really wasn't too many people there so it was nice.


DSCF3896-1.jpg



DSCF3897-1.jpg


After getting in the park and having our arm bands put on I wanted a picture of Dallas and Dale, but a CM said she would take a picture of all 3 of us :banana:. She told us not to expect too much because she wasn't a photopass photographer. I thought she did pretty good.


DSCF3899_edited-1.jpg


We headed into the park and it was dark, but it was really cool looking

DSCF3901-1.jpg


DSCF3903-1.jpg


DSCF3904-1.jpg


We made our way down Main Street to the corner at Plaza. A CM there said the Headless Horseman was getting ready to ride in about 5 minutes so we waited.

DSCF3905-1.jpg


DSCF3906-1.jpg



They had the area roped off and the tape on the ground where noone was suppose to stand. Notice I said SUPPOSE. Those of us standing there were following the rules, but just as the HH rode by a group walking down the sidewalk jumped in front of all of us and boy was I MAD :headache::mad:. so this is the picture of the HH I was able to get

Continued in next post. Spell check isn't working so I hope I didn't mess up too bad.
 
Love the pictures. The one of you and Dallas at the beginning when he still has his hat on is really cute. Sounds like you had a real relaxing day before going to the party. Swimming sounds like more fun than laundry.

Thanks Ginny :hug:. I just couldn't get over how hot it was. Dallas wasn't the only one stripping either. By the time we left, we saw a lot of people with half their costumes off. Dale said if Dallas could have, he would have went into the park as a pirate and left the park as Superman :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:.

Swimming was much more fun than laundry, but I do have to say their dryers are much better than mine.

I am afraid I would have been minus part of an outfit too. I hate it that it was so hot for you. We have had such a strange year.
 
Please pardon the pause in posting. My niece brought her baby over for trick or treating.

I was really upset with all those people jumping in front of us. There were a lot of us waiting for the parade to start and they saw us and didn't care. Since we couldn't really see the parade we walked on over to TL

DSCF3908-1.jpg


We rode TTA first, and we were the only ones on it.

DSCF3910-1.jpg


As you see Dallas had shed the head scarf by now.....:lmao:


DSCF3911-1.jpg


DSCF3919-1.jpg


We went to the candy stations and headed over to TT. There was a dance party at the Stitch stage area and I wanted to watch that, but Dallas wanted to get more candy.

DSCF3920-1.jpg



Now the black vest and sash are gone..........:rotfl2:
DSCF3923-1.jpg


We start walking toward the back of TT to the candy stations and I didn't get a picture, but the couple in front of us were pushing their little boy in a stroller, and as they were walking one of the wheels FELL off their stroller. I told Dale that was a serious Disney family because they had literally walked the wheels off their stroller. The dad heard me and he looked up at me and laughed and shook his head "yes".

DSCF3924-1.jpg

DSCF3927-1.jpg


We made our way back to TL just as the fireworks show was starting. I filmed it as Dale went to get us all a cold diet Coke.
It isn't the best quality video, but it gives a good idea. The batteries went dead before the end of it fireworks so it stops a little before the end.

After the fireworks we sat for a while to cool off. Then we headed on. We rode the Tea Cups, Snow White, IaSW, and the HM. We wanted to ride PP, but the line was WAY too long. It was the only line I saw at the party.

Since the batteries in my camera had gone, I took a few with my cell. The quality is OK, but not great.

We were going to head to BTM, but by now we were really tired and hot so we made the decision to call it a night and head on back to the room. When we got to the room we combined all the candy and this was our take. We still have some of it left........:lmao:

candyfromMNSSHP.jpg


So after we got back to the room we were really tired and hot so we all got showers again and Dale and Dallas decided they wanted something to eat so, once again, we ordered pizza to be delivered. Remember I told you they could eat pizza 7 days a week :scared1:.
 
Awesome update girl, sorry about the rude people, they're everywhere sometimes. Glad you didn't let it damper the day! Looks like ya'll had fun, despite it being hot...you know, it's STILL hot down here, and they're STILL breaking records, oh what I wouldn't give for a high of like 82-83!!! Nothing cooler, just that. I guess I need to update too.....it's been a while!
 
Great update!!! so sorry it was so hot...I can remember growing up and with Gwendolyn & Dayne some pretty hot trick or treating here....so, I know what it means to have a hot humid night! But, it does look like alot of fun. Sure did wish I was there last night with Ashton! LOL!!

Thank ya!! I can't stand rudeness, but sometimes you wonder if people are being rude or just ignorant :sad2:. We did have a great time, I had so hoped it would be cool. Our weather is about the same as Orlando so I knew when we left we were doomed. We had been having record temps here too. It is FINALLY cooling off here :banana.

I have an old photo album of my Mom's and it has Christmas pictures of me (about 12 or 13 years old)and a couple of my neices and nephews in shorts and tank tops :eek:. We ended up not doing anything last night :sad2:. We were going to go to the church, but Dallas didn't really want to go and we had been gone all day so my niece brought her baby over and we played with him.

This is my niece Stephanie and her Lil monkey Eli. (please ignore my messy kitchen)

Eli and his daddy Chris.
DSCF4313-1.jpg


We had a nice visit and Dallas had a great time playing with Eli.
 
I totally missed your last update for some reason. I'm almost afraid to ask how many clothes Dallas had on by the end of the night the way he was shedding articles of clothing.:laughing:

I would have been totally pissed off by the rude people jumping in front of you. Did you at least get to see the headless horseman?
