[hollisterluva92]

I'm here...thanks for posting on my TR and inviting us over!! Jasmine made it safe and sound, they landed an hour ago in Orlando and I told her to text me when they get to their room!!

I have to say I laughed when I saw your "barbie" tree.....I have all those ornaments! I started collecting them in 1991 and have bought one every year since....Jasmine's boyfriend was quick to point out we have a very "girly" Christmas tree....Barbie and Disney

Loving your report!!

Your Welcome! That's great, I'm so happy she landed safely! I'm hoping to be able to go on my first cruise this year! My family is talking about going on a cruise for Christmas this year! Ooh yay! Another collector! My grandma started collecting them in 1991 also, right when my mom found out that I was a girl! I was born in september of 92' and I have one for almost every single year up until I was about 9 or 10. My ex-boyfriend said the same thing two Christmas's ago when I brought him over to meet my family! I'm so excited to have another reader! Make sure and tell Jasmine to head on over here when she get's back! Reading your ptr made me so sentimental about my mom! I just wish that she loved Disney as much as you do! That would be a dream come true! Everyone else in my family thinks I'm crazy for loving it and wanting to go there every time I can. No one else in my family cares for it

Yippeeee.....Sorta.....​

So! I have had a rough week so far.....to start off, I had my child development teacher drop me from the online class for no reason at all......and I still have no idea. I'm positive it's a mistake, because I check every day to make sure whether I have homework or not! So yea, I'm pretty sure it's a mistake. But I haven't heard anything back from her yet...so who knows The next thing on my list is that my Grandpa accidentally took two of my checks and wrote them out....so I got hit with nsf fees and I have no money to start with because I don't have a job.....so it sucks....The only good part about all of this is that my mom asked me what my top 3 colleges are, and I told her I only want to go to Central Florida and then my other two are backups in case of emergency. So anyways, I was looking online and I realized that if I move to UCF that I can get the annual pass! And it's cheaper than I was looking at to go next year anyways! Oh! And the best part, UCF is only 26 MINUTES from Disney World I'm thinking about getting the tables in wonderland too, but i'm not sure. Do any of you have it? What do you think? Back to planning! My close friend Emily, whom i've known since I was 6, wants to go to Disney World! She has only been once, when she was 5, so she doesn't really remember it. So I told her i'm going to try to go next May, and she asked if she could go with me, so I said YES!!!! I'm so excited because now that I have a little bit longer to save, We are going to try to stay at the Poly! This will be her first trip, so it will be so much fun! SO I am beyond excited about that! Now, for hotel's. If we can't afford the Poly, I would bump down to either Port Orleans Riverside or maybe Beach Club? I loved Riverside, and I would love to stay there again! If we stayed at riverside, it'd be about $2500 total, without airfare, which is still pretty cheap! Anyways, I will be updating later with some new pictures! Thanks for reading!

I'm Back....Finally!!!!​

So it's been forever....I know...Bad Deva! Anyways, I am back now! I don't have any news on the Disney trip front, other than some shopping updates Other than that, I just have life updates! I'll start with my shopping update! This past weekend I took advantage of the Disney Store's free shipping code, so I bought 3 shirts and my mom bought me the new monopoly game!

This past week I also picked up some more travel-sized products and some bath/body stuff for my trip! As far as Valentine's Day goes, I got a heart-shaped box of chocolate from my uncle, a white bear with a stuffed heart from my grandparents, and a classic winnie the pooh card and candy from my parents! I will take a picture of everything and post it later! Now onto spring break. I am not going on vacation I want to, but my parents cannot afford it....so I will probably end up going back to Michigan to visit with my family It's been harder and harder for me to hide the fact that I miss Disney. I was watching the new 2011 travel dvd this weekend and I was sobbing........I'm going to sit down with my family and talk to them about it soon. My grandpa is talking about going on a cruise for Christmas, but I really don't want to. I'm going to see if they will let me go to Disney. I applied for fafsa for college the other day, and my top two colleges are the University of Central Florida and the University of Tampa. I'm praying that I can go, because honestly that's all I want. My mom and grandma's birthday is coming up, and we're going to celebrate when we go back to Michigan, so I have to think of gifts. I'm now watching the news and drinking my coffee and relaxing.....I have so much going on! Thanks for reading! I'll leave you with some Disney DISigns for my next trip!

That's alright, I've done that before. Thanks, but it didn't work. She shot me down......and now my mom knows that there's something wrong....I talked to her this evening and she could hear it in my voice. I just know that if I could go again that I would be a much happier person. No one else in my family understands my deep and profound love for Disney World. I'm just so sad right now......and only Disney World can make it better. Are you and Jasmine on facebook? I am! I would love to friend you guys.

Disney On Ice ​

Hi everybody! I'm sitting here eating lunch (toy story mac and cheese and a dr.pepper) and I started to think about Disney On Ice! I bought my ticket back in September (2 day's after my birthday ) and I got a free single-use disposable camera! I'm most likely going to save it for my next Disney trip since I'm bringing my own camera! So! For any of you who have gone to DOI, I have a few questions! Please answer them in the thread I created! Here's the link: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=40073268#post40073268
Anyways, since I've been reading about it, what is the camera policy? I'm just not sure if I should bring my DSLR, even though I really want to! I'm planning on just shoving it at the bottom of my bag and bringing my new nikon point and shoot just in case. I know video-recording is not allowed, obv. Here's the shirt I'm going to wear that I bought a month ago!

I'm really excited!!!! The talk with my grandma, on the other hand, went horribly. She immediately shot me down..GRRRRRRRRRR Anyways, that's all for now! Thanks for reading!

Past Disney Trip Photos​

Yesterday I was going through some cd's of photos and I came across a cd with old Disney trip photos on it! I don't have very many, and they're from my 2008 trip. This trip consisted of me, my younger brother, and my grandparents (P and G, they don't want their names out there.) I was 15 at the time, and my brother was 10. We went in June, and stayed at Saratoga Springs. That was my first time at the resort, and I liked it, but probably won't stay there again. I loved the pool and the restaurant, but hated the walk. We stayed at The Carousel, and to even get back to the main house we had to take a bus. It was insane. The good thing about that trip is that when we checked in we got upgraded for free to a villa instead of a regular room! We went for Star Wars weekends, and we could only go the very last weekend. We went straight from the airport to DHS and it was pouring So, they canceled the parade, hyper space hoopla, and basically everything else. My brother was crushed, because that was one of the main reasons why he wanted to go. The only thing that redeemed him was a very magical moment on star tours! We were getting ready to board the starship when Darth Vader and a Clone Trooper stepped next to us and boarded with us! My brother ended up being able to sit next to Darth Vader on Star Tours, and all was redeemed! I wish we would of gotten a picture of him, but sadly, we didn't Anyways, onto the pictures!
Saratoga's sitting area with the restaurant on the right!

Epcot!

Toy Story Mania! We didn't even end up riding this! That'll be a story for next time!

I'm Baaa......aaaa.......ccccc.......kkkk​

So! I have a bone to pick with photobucket......it froze my computer last night I clicked on upload photos and it was all downhill from there. I had a nice big update typed up....and I lost all of it so now i'm re-typing it! Today is TOY STORY 3 ON ICE!!!! Can you tell i'm excited? I have to leave here in an hour and 20 min. The show starts at 10:30 and I am beyond excited!!!! For those of you that follow me on facebook, you'll already know this! Two day's ago I went to get my ticket for the show so that I wouldn't forget it....and it was gone Yes, I know. But. Don't worry! I called ticketmaster and they emailed me a copy of the ticket! : I'm wearing this shirt:

I will be taking my DSLR camera and my point-and shoot, and I will upload them as soon as I get home! I promise to take some pictures of the concessions and souvenirs, since that's a big question everyone has! I have to go get ready now, but thanks for reading!

Thanks! My pics would of been so much better if I would of had either a better seat or a better lens! I'm getting a new lens for Easter, so I cannot wait!!! I also love the shirts! I actually just ordered two more from 80's Tees!

I've applied for about 10 nannying jobs this summer so I hope something comes through!
