Hello all you great people who will become my loyal readers for the next 245 days. Yes, that is how long you will all be stuck with me… 245 LONG DAYS…unless you decide to walk away and stop reading. Then you will always wonder what happened to that crazy lady and her crazy family. You will wonder about what my crazy family was planning to do. It will get to the point where you just can’t sleep for all the wondering... you’ll stop eating, quit your job and spend all your time looking for this thread buried deep on page 54. :rotfl: Ok, it won’t be that bad but you will wonder. ::yes::

As you can tell, I do try to keep light. It is ok to laugh out loud. Honest! No one will judge you!! I know that when I am writing my PTR I get to typing faster and my little fingers make TONS of mistakes. I just get so excited… I will skip comas, reeverse letters, and lots of crazy things that pop in my mind!!! I will laugh aloud when I read some of the things I write. Most all though, I’ll just enjoy writing and planning… and my husband will enjoy getting a break from all the Disney talk. After all its 245 days away but he has heard about this trip since the day we left Disney in December 2010!

In the next 245 days I will tell you all about our trip plans. I really will start the whole thing off by giving you details…. Why the name for the PTR, who we are, and the when/ where. I hope you all don’t mind that I also am going to give you little snippets from our last trip (December 2010). There will be some things we will do that are the same and some things that are different. I am excited to share everything with you. By the time our trip actually occurs you will feel like a long lost friend! Feel free to ask questions, too and give suggestions! I don’t charge any extra for questions and I will always take your 2 cents worth!!

So now you have a decision… Do you subscribe to my PTR and laugh aloud at the crazy plans we have or do you walk away and wonder what my plans are for the next 245 days. The decision is all yours!

If you are choosing to stay, please drop me a note and stay tuned for the next installment… The story behind the title!
 
I'm here...now back to read. :goodvibes

***Love the intro, Tammy. And I can't wait to hear all about it...typos and all.
 
Kat beat me :rotfl:, but I am here!! Now I am going back to read :goodvibes.
 

I'm in! My husband and I also went in Dec 2010. Going back this year with more of the family and can't wait.
 
Are you in sales? Because you have sold me on reading your trip report!

You are welcome to skip commas, reverse letters and write crazy stuff but don't you dare try to take over my title of Queen of the Run On Sentence! ;)

I look forward to hearing more about your trip! Please share your tips and advice regarding December Disney trips!
 
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An’ if I stay it will be double

By the way, this is Tracy's Bill.:cool1:

Welcome Kat!!! So glad you could come join me! I can't wait to see where this goes either!! :thumbsup2

That Kat is a fast one!! :lmao: Glad you are here now though!

I'm in! My husband and I also went in Dec 2010. Going back this year with more of the family and can't wait.

:welcome: So glad you are here! I have to tell you, I have ordered MUCH warmer weather for this December!!! I think the reason we are returning now is we only NOW defrosted from the last trip... and we live in the sub-tropical PENNSYLVANIA!! Has to say something about the cold there in December 2010! :lmao:

I am not in sales, but if my current employers ever get tired of me its great to have a back up plan! Although, if my current employers get tired of me they can get there own dinner, wash their own clothes... ok sales is sounding good!! :rotfl:

I promise not to have too many run on sentences... I get nervous when I skip a period!!! :rotfl2:

The Clash would be very happy to know they were mentioned on the Dis today!!! Although, that song is kinda like It's a Small World. You can NEVER get it out of your mind once it is there!!! :scared1: I was evening singing it to the kids today as we got ready to go. I am guessing that before it has the chance to leave my mind they will be singing it too! Gotta love the 80s!! Ok, now I am showing my age. I even had a little flashback in my mind of this song... I had my roller skates on and was skating around as this song played. It was all fun till, in my flashback, I hit the wall... I never could turn well! :lmao:


I'm here and I'm subbing! We plan to go for the 1st time as a family in Jan or Feb of 2014!:cheer2:

December 2010 was our first trip! YOU WILL RETURN!!! :hug: It becomes an addiction and well, there is no 12 step plan... we are all here for you... well will try to aide in your addiction! :duck::rotfl2:
 

I love that smiley!!! The kid's got watches for Easter. Brenda got a Hello Kitty one and Gavin got an Angry Bird one... that is the face I was getting from the kids all day while shopping


I'll enjoy some popcorn::popcorn:: while I wait. :goodvibes
Pass some of that ::popcorn:: over here. Pull up a spot on the couch and wait for me. I'll be posting soon... Or making an escape plan! :moped:

Sounds like a fun report and trip! I can't wait to read all about it :)

Thanks! Stick around and I hope it meets all your expectations!! If not... well there is always Kat's popcorn

I'm in! Can't wait to hear all about it!!!
Welcome!!! I barely left the ink dry on your post! Hope that went a long way to make you feel welcomed!!!
 
I know you have all been sitting at your computer all day… just waiting. My thought is, it is getting late in the evening. Maybe I can bore you all silly… I mean lull you all to sleep with another installment. :rotfl2: I know at this point at night you are all just waiting and wanting to know why the trip title. I just fear that if I don’t tell you all tonight, you won’t be able to sleep!!! I can’t be the cause of insomnia… my conscious can’t handle that so I’ll tell you all I know. For that I have to give you a little back story….

(Smokey haze enters and slowly clears away revealing a tiny house-- Date: Jan 2010) “Honey, someday I want to take the kids to Disney World!!” I said to my honey! After much talk and debate my Honey surprised me by sitting me down and telling me that he had figured things our and “SURPISE… It’s Someday!!” He also explained that this would be a “Once in a lifetime trip”. The date of this trip would be Late November/ Early December. Yippy for us!!! :banana: Fast forward… :wizard:

(Said in my best Sophia Petrillo voice) Picture it-- December -- 2010. We are sitting on a Disney bus on the way to some magical destination. Aren’t all Disney parks magical destinations??? My honey looks at me and says “So, when do you think we will get to make it back??” I tell him “Someday!” A few bus rides to other magical destination later and it is decided that we would return December 2013! I only remember this because I am brilliant… and I read it in my last TR (that I was brilliant enough that I never finished :rolleyes1).

I have to tell you that a lot goes on in my family after the December 2010 trip. We have MANY trials and difficult times and I start to believe that “someday” is NEVER going to happen. :eek: I start to lose hope of ever getting back to my happy place. :worried: I even begin to wear off on my honey and my kids. After all, I am the brilliant one!! It suddenly becomes enough to just get through the day and not dream about magically happy places.:sad: Then the unthinkable happens… that little glimmer of magic appears... pixiedust:then another… :genie:and another:sunny:. Well timed commercials here, memories start to flicker in, and honey calls me from work to tell me he just drove by a WDW billboard.. :drive:in the middle of “no where near magical Pennsylvania”. That really is a place on the map! Just go look for it!!!

After I get the call from my honey and he explains that he is indeed missing Disney, my mind starts to turn. I know the kids are missing Disney. I look at the calendar. All I see is January, February, March and on and on. There is NO Someday on the calendar. I have looked… even got out the magnify glass! I looked and looked and never found Someday. Then something hit me… Most likely a can of beans from the top cupboard shelf :headache: Really it was reality hitting me in the face but for some reason when I looked back at the calendar someday had always been there… Smack dab at the beginning of December 2013! Turn to your calendars now and look… Someday falls on December 1, 2013!! If they mistakenly forgot to put it on your calendar, feel free to add it. I know I am right on this one!!!:lmao:

So our first trip to Disney was “Surprise… It’s Someday” and this return would be “Someday: the Sequel”. Seems fitting, don’tcha think???
 
Tammy, I am so glad you found "Someday" on your calendar. And amazingly enough it was on my calendar...I found it. And to you know what it said next to "someday?" It said Kathy hopefully gets to meet Tammy and her beautiful family because their dates will cross. :)

I truly cannot think of any family that deserves to find "someday" on their calendar more.

Wow all three of us found "Someday" on our calendars!! I completely agree with Kat, your family so deserves more "somedays"!!

See Tammy, I will even show you my calendar page to prove it!

Wow!! Another calendar that is correct!!! I did get out the magnifing glass after reading your post and sure enough it says meet "Kat and Mark in our happy place!" I am hoping that Mark will try on some hats when we see him!!!

:lovestruc Aww thank you. I am so glad we found someday too. Its been a rough (almost) 3 years. And I have a feeling it will be getting worse before it gets better. :worried:

Ok, apparently its only my extended family that doesn't have Someday on their calendar! Their loss!!! Although, too many more discussions like the one on Facebook last night and Bill might erase Someday from your calendar! :rotfl2:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the graphic!!!

Not sure how many somedays lie in our future, but I am making the best of this one!!!
 
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
