Alrighty then - it's official - I've fallen behind in my own TR...
Wow, what a great memory! Those pictures are the best!
Thanks Stephanie! Have you decided if you are going to make it back yet this month before your APs expire?
Totally digging the PP pictures!
Liddy <~~ who still needs to know why V and A hold their breath while wearing scuba gear and why D thinks Mickey's head is removable
Thanks Liddy... I can't tell you why... I just know things.
OOH I need to look at our school calendar next year since we are planning for spring break too
I need to go back and read but I love your Parade photopass pictures.
Oooh - please let me know... That would be awesome!
I the parade photopass pics! Though I must point out there is one where you are not waving -- is that allowed?
I thought you were going to plan an October 2013 trip and here you go trying to sneak an earlier trip in!!!! We stayed at AKL and truth be told, after staying there I think I would be disappointed in anything else. Than again, I would love to try other resorts. I've been to Dis way to many times to count, but last time was the only time we stayed at a resort. We used to stay with family that lived in Orlando, but they were relatives of my sister's ex so while they are super nice people, not sure how they'd feel about me calling them after 10 years for a free stay
We have another second showing on our house though -- so maybe I could swing a spring trip! It will be just dd and I but if I can persuade my sister to come it would help with expenses.
Off to work out right out. Then I have to clean and then sew - I think I'm going to do the orphanage blankets today, so nothing exciting, but if I get those done I can ship them off to Lisa. I also pulled down my bin of fleece when Amy was over so can see what I have for girls blankets and then finally get it back up on the shelf and out of the way. DH took the morning off and took DS fishing so I'm supposed to be productive while they are gone and have been on pinterest all morning instead.
I hope your showing went well... I think you might have sold your house this time - I can feel it. Just have Cheryl help you with your expenses for a spring trip? She likes to go at that time anyways.
Productive...productive...hmm, can't seem to remember what THAT word is supposed to mean....
I have just spent over 2 hours just trying to get the dishwasher loaded and wipe down counter tops! Really, REALLY hard to clean and keep the foot elevated!
I would LOVE to be able to get down to the studio and work, but it is SOOOOOO not happening today! The house is in bad enough shape that I NEED to clean it, but it is taking so much time I doubt I'll even finish the kitchen today! Maybe I can get a couple more loads of laundry done (one of those things that no one can figure out how to do if Mom is not able to stay on their backs to make sure it gets done!) and get the guest/kids bathroom smelling guest friendly again I can pretend the house is guest ready...and tomorrow spend some time in the studio!
Nini<-------------- complain, complain, COMPLAIN!
Awww.... (((HUGS)))) Were you able to get into your studio yesterday?
I hope it works out you get to stay at AKL - I don't know if I'd stay there again without a code.. lots of $$ esp if you don't spend a ton of time at the resort, don't get me wrong we loved staying there, just don't know if I could justify staying there the entire trip.
can't wait to see your next bag! good luck at the vet today!
Andrea - GOOD LUCK with the showing on your house! thanks for helping out with our blanket project
ACK - I didn't say we were staying at AKL did I????? I just said that the girls may or may not have loved it enough to stay there next time??? LOL Or did I typo it? LOL
Great Photpass pictures! AKL? In March? I don't get to go until October! I am sooooooooo jealous and all of you planning spring trips again. Well, I can at least be since I know there IS another trip on the horizon for me.
Just because I am planning doesn't mean I am going.
I left the March 2012 FB page open yesterday and DH saw it...
Yes, I am planning - but I am always planning... GOING is a whole different ball game.
The suspense! The suspense! Now I'll have to sit on pins and needles again to see what changes you made to your bag that would make them even MORE awesome!
I must admit, I am beyond envious of your kids' spring break next year. That's a LOT of time off. My DH is a teacher and I sure wish HE'D get time off like that so we could do something fun like trying to skip down for a trip. We live so far away and have such a large family that flying isn't really an option for us, so that basically leaves summertime for our trips. I would love to stay at one of the Disney resorts one day. My SIL is a DOD civilian, so we'll actually be staying at Shades this go around and it's the closest I have ever been to being on property and I am sooooooooooo excited about it!
Okay, enough rambling from me. Get to sewing!
ANDREA!!!! GOOD LUCK and FINGERS and TOES crossed for the second showing of your house!
Sunshine
I know - it is a lot of time off - that's why I think it would be PERFECT... LOL But I gotta convince DH and that's probably not going to happen.
Actually - we LOVED SoG, it is an amazing resort. The only part that we didn't enjoy was all the walking - there was a LOT of walking if we wanted to use the monorail, and we weren't able to hitch a ride wtih the golf cart. LOL
Oh my goodness those are such great shots! What a memory So neat to have done something that not everyone has!
It was awesome! I hope everyone here gets the chance someday. At least you know to search out Demetrius.
I haven't had time to read the whole thread, but I did read your whole trip report so far and the last couple pages of the thread. I'm thoroughly enjoying your updates and the parade...TDF! I was so excited for you when you posted that on Facebook. I loved seeing all the photos!
MM is adorable! I was wondering if you were in on his arrival or if Josh had surprised you, too. That must have been so hard to keep those photos and cuteness from the girls!
So, after seeing what a wonderful time you all had, is your dh interested in going next time? Either way, I'm excited for you possibly planning another one!
Andrea - I'm sending up a little prayer that things move with your house very soon!
Regards,
C. (who is pages behind on the Disbout thread, and hasn't done a ton of sewing either. Gotta get back to it!)
HI CARRIE!!!! Glad to see you here! I've missed ya!
Sorry - DH isn't interested at all... He wants to go somewhere "fun"...
Not sure where that is?
MM is definately cute - but also lives up to his MM name, LOL He is getting soooo big. At the vet yesterday, he was up to 20.4 lbs... He's a growin' boy!
D... love those photo pass pictures. Did you see that the photopass now has Photopass plus which will include the dining photos and ride photos?
Since DH
is a teacher May is out but if we could DH would be down in a heartbeat for StarWars Weekend.
For you bag I would definitely do an auction. And I don't think you will have to worry.
Some did RTS (ready to ship) and others did auctions.
Up North we have our vacations for Christmas, February & April so we are stuck with those dates since DH could never take days out.
Fingers Crossed that is sells
Yes, I did see that about PP Michelle - I am super excited about it!
I wish you could come for SB - that would be awesome! Better yet, I wish I could talk my DH into letting us do another girls trip - it was soooo much fun!
I might do an auction... is there a way to do a reserve?
I love all the Parade pics!!! How fun!!
Thanks Sandy!!!
Just loving all of the parade pictures. . .you did a great job with the Photo Pass enhancements! I'm so glad this happend to you and your sweet girls!
Awww... That's so sweet of you to say!
He could get sick next May.
I won't tell if you won't.
Actually - Liddy tells everyone EVERYTHING... Be careful with that one. LOL
Oh
I want someone to go on a trip with! Heck, I want DH to be making enough that we can just start going yearly on our own without having to have my parents help foot the bill. . .
Let's all hope for trip buddies for one another and that maybe some of us can work out our schedules so we have LOTS of trip buddies
UBER jealous of the cool enhancements and borders you had to choose from!!! I didn't have as many cool things to add to mine
Okay - first of all - holy long spring break batman! WOW!
second - what happened to POFQ being the only place you'd ever stay? I still want to try out some other resorts . . . but my dream locale is Boardwalk and/or Beach Club . . .in a villa. . . notice I said DREAM. I'm also sort of interested in the Cabins at Ft Wilderness (the boys really liked it there when we went for MBYBBQ). . .
AND . . .out of BLACK ZIPPERS How dare you be out of black zippers!!!
[CENTER[/CENTER]
I thought we were trip buddies???? You're coming with me whenever I decide to go, right?
I think you win as comic of the week. Cheryl hasn't been around lately but I think you are doing a fine job in her absence. Keep up the good work
I think you scared Cheryl away...
We always seem to go when no one else is going
But they way the school systems are lately DH would be fired on the spot.
If you can believe another school system a few years ago staked out the airport looking for teachers who called in sick the day before school vacation and they found a few flying out to Disney.
I miss Cheryl... where has she been.
I think Andrea scared her away...
I wish you could come with us Michelle - you could always leave DH at home??? Someone has gotta work?
Yes, but I'm sure if your dh was abusive to the kids or a really crappy teacher he'd get a year's paid administrative leave and then possibly get his job back.
No clue where Cheryl is -- do you think she escaped from the looney bin? I think she's just jealous of D's TR -- after all, Cheryl wasn't in any parades.
How do you know that Andrea - maybe she was in a parade???
I think she said she was cutting down on her Dis time is that even possible. :
I didn't think it was possible? Chiara - I am so glad you are home... I always know when you are here, because my Etsy activity is always really high - some how your fabric favorites always show up for me... I like the ones you chose this morning.
Phew, finally caught up again...
I really need to clean my house... My step-MIL is home from NOLA, and she is spending the night Mon & Tues... but I don't wanna clean... But I hafta clean... Oh and she is bringing their Yellow Lab (Durhum) to play with her new Grand Puppy... MM is in for a treat. LOL Can't wait to see MM play with a big guy.
Although - it will be kind of sad to have another yellow lab in the house...
OK - off to go play with MM for a while, then maybe clean the house??? I'm stalling, can you tell?
D~
AKL for your next trip? 
Where's my "love" ones? And my cloud nine? Grrrr! Ugh, and my Grrr one!
