Sometimes the Best Plan is to Forget the Plan!!

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Wow, Kimmy! NICE! You were right - you guys do have a lot of space. And I just love all of the Disney touches throughout. The pin board is sooo cute. That's a good idea, actually!

The snow pictures are beautiful - but you have made me glad it's not me. That sucks about your car this morning! I would have been terrified driving through all of that. And if we had that much snow, I can pretty much guarantee, I'd be at home IN THE DARK. We can't drive in that here and our power lines aren't equipped for it, either.

Can't wait to see the other pictures you have planned to post!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

We were posting at the same time! Glad I didn't miss the new pics after post.

Landon is sooo adorable. I just love his little house shoes. The picture of you two together is pretty darn cute too. I don't blame you - I would have had my pajamas on too.

As far as Zipper goes, that is one beautiful kitten. I just adore the color of it. And how great is that? You got a kitten that doesn't play with its claws out? When we got ours, she was mean from the get go. I hated it and wanted to get rid of her, but we had made the decision to get her and we had no choice but to keep her and hope she didn't claw Mitchell's eyes out. She's no longer an indoor cat and that has been the best decision so far. She's immediately become calmer and likes to be held and pet. She doesn't scratch any more and when she comes in, she lets Mitchell do whatever and she doesn't care. So, with a little time and putting her outside where she prefers, she's become the best cat ever!

I hope your mood improves today. Just think about Disney and how soon you will be there!!!!

Oh Kimmy, congrats!!! It looks so nice!! How fun to have your own balcony area and all - nice!!

Thanks for the pictures, it looks great!!

Thanks! I really love it!

It's going to have more Disney touches!! I have a few things I haven't even unpacked yet!! Like, have you seen the Disney Princesses on the carrosel horses by Jim Shore? I have 3 of those! (And hopefully all 5 for Christmas!) We just love Disney!!

I think it is pretty too...I just hate having to go out in it!! I'm always scared driving through it. Especially with all the big suv's who think that because they have 4wheel drive, its just the same as driving without snow. Its so scary!! I would hate it if the power went out even more!! I bet that'd be cold!

Aw I'm glad you like Landon's tiger slippers! We got them when we went to the zoo for Mother's Day! They are really fluffy and he loves walking on them since they are so cushion-y. Its really cute!

I'm glad your cat is so much nicer now!! I'm glad you were able to figure out that part of her personality so you wouldn't just resent her!! That worked out for both of you! I really love our new kitten. He has almost the exact same personality my favorite cat I had from when I was 4 until about 16 and that one was gray too! I just adore him!

Days like day really make me dream about Disney extra!! Luckily though I don't have a trip scheduled for today...they are cancelling so many flights!! I'll just have to drench my day with Disney plans!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Well, feel free to put all of your ideas out here, too. I know I'm in the mood to "dream about Disney".

I would love to see pics of your horses when you get them unpacked. I don't believe I've ever seen those. I was in Sears the other day and they had the Mickey Christmas village out. You can collect the different pieces and they weren't TOO expensive, but more than I wanted to pay right then. They were so cute, though!

was that a princess crown on your shelf in the bathroom


the place looks very cool

those porches will be nice in the summer

 

[stacikristine]

Yay!! Thanks for posting those pics of your new apt! It is so huge! I love all of the windows and the built-in shelves! Those are so handy. And I'm pretty sure I would live outside on the balcony!! Well...except when it's snowing! I can't believe it snowed so much!! That is so crazy. It's POURING right now. The skies were black starting at around 9:30 this morning. I hate it. It's been the wettest fall I can remember. Those pics of Landon are so cute--And how sweet that he can say Kitty!

Ok! I will post some ideas soon!! After I read everyone else's tr's, of course!

I will definitely show you them! I have Belle, Cinderella and Ariel. There's also Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Oh I need to go to Sears and see this Mickey Christmas village!! I can't wait for Christmas! I got some great Disney decorations to put up! I got most of them from the outlet store online last year at great prices but of course, it wasn't after Christmas so I've been waiting for months and months to put them up!

Why, yes that is my princess crown! And yes I do wear it out when the mood strikes!! It is not saved just for birthdays by any means! They actually made me stop wearing it to work and that stopped my wearing it everyday. You would notice something like that!

I can't wait for summer. It'll be great!

Thanks! I really love it! Aren't those built-in shelves so nice? I really enjoy having them everywhere!! I can't wait until the snow melts so I can use my balcony! I don't mind rain (as long as I don't straighten my hair that day ). Sometimes its annoying when its pouring like it is there, but I'd take that over what we have now!

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw your apartment looks so nice! Minus the snow.

Love the Disney pins and countdown!

 

[Bridora]

I love all those built in shelves! And those porches! Beautiful. And that window seat....

What a cute kitty Zipper is! That's so good he plays well with Landon.

I don't live somewhere where it snows a lot, so I thought everyone's snow pictures were beautiful! I would not want to have to drive in it, though. That would stink. Usually, around here, things shut down until the sand trucks have come through. School is closed and I don't have to go to work! But that only happens about once a year...

Rain, rain, rain here. Maybe I will take some pictures of flooding!

I think the only snow I will ever like will be the snow in WDW on Main Street when I attend MVMCP next year!!

Thanks!

Its my favorite apartment that I've ever seen. I just love it.

Thanks...I adore Zipper. Its fun watching him and Landon.

I think all of my friends on the Dis must live some place awesome. All this talk of only having real snow like once a year is making me so sad! Can I move in with one of you? Or do you guys just want to move into the castle with me? Maybe I should actually use my princess status!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

You can come live with us! I don't know how I'd explain you to DH.

But, I'd prefer to live with you in the castle, please.

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

That's how I am!! Actually, in my perfect world, it would snow on Thanksgiving all day, so you could look outside and see it all pretty. But it would just be light and only stick to the grass, not any roads!! And then it would snow again on Christmas and it be a HUGE blanket of a glistening white wonderland! Then it would be melted by the time I go back to work...and preferably New Years Eve, since the roads are alway scary enough that night with all the drunk drivers!

I think you & I share an idea of a perfect world. Snow just the right amount on the holidays and then melt away!

Here is Landon and the new kitten...who is now named Zipper We change our minds a lot!

Oh my goodness! I love his little slippers - those are too cute! Zipper looks like a fun little playmate for Landon, too! Jake is the same way with our dog... he's a little rough, but like you said - what kid isn't? It's so funny though because sometimes our dog will see Jake coming and if he's not in the mood to be played with, he'll run the other way. Hahaha!

"I met this girl on the internet and you see, it snows a lot where she lives and she doesn't like it. So I told her she could move in with us. And her son too, because he's really cute and can play with Mitchell. I hope you don't mind, I'm sure she's nice. I mean, she seems nice on the internet..."

That'd be an interesting conversation!!

I'd prefer the castle too!! With parades up and down my street all day and fireworks most nights. That'd just be perfect.

Glad to know we feel the same way about snow! I bet you we'lll have a couple more brutal storms like this one, but on Christmas there will be nothing on the ground! It's been that way a couple times.

I'm glad you like those slippers! I just adore them!! They are WAY too big, but have this super elastic thing so they stay on now and will still fit for a while!

How cute about Jake and your dog!! Landon would get a kick out of him running. We were at a friends house with a dog and the dog was running and going nuts and Landon was cracking up more than he ever has. It was cute. There is just something about little boys and dogs! I was pushing for a dog...but oh well. At least Landon likes kitties too!

Yes, parades and fireworks EVERY DAY sounds ideal, doesn't it???? And it NEVER snows in Central Florida!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

The apartment looks really nice and Zipper is adorable!

I feel so bad for you getting buried in all that snow already. I am sure we will get our first snow here any day now.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

OK I posted an answer and poof its gone...

the apartment looks great! and Landon and Zipper is just too cute!!!
and the snow looks wonderful!! and pure...
but that is looking through the eyes of a Southener...I wouldn't want to deal with it either!!!

That certainly does sound ideal. And it does snow silly. Magic snow that isn't freezing on Main Street!! That's my kind of snow!

Aw thanks!! It's ridiculous here! The sun is back out to do, we'll see how much it melts...and then how icy it is tomorrow once that all freezes over!

Don't you hate when that happens?!

It's pure now...I'll take a picture for you guys in a couple days when its all dirty and gross and black slush.

Hi guys!! Okay so I have no idea whats going on with my account.

As most of you know, my bandwidth exceeded last month. I upgraded to pro and now its saying its exceeded again. I thought maybe I needed to make a payment so I went to my account and it said that my account needed to be renewed but I didn't see where to renew it. And I went to account options or settings or whatever and it said my account type was free?! What? Okay...whatever...I went to go upgrade again, its the same price as last month and it's not that big of a deal and when I tried it said there was an error and that my account was set to renew automatically. Okay then why hasn't it?

Hopefully I can get it fixed soon for you guys!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i have to notice little details, kinda comes with my line or work, so i really pick up everything.
haha
that is very funny that you wore it to work.

just an idea for you, so you dont have to pay for the pro, make a new account and start using that for picutres here on out, then you dont have to pay, and worry about going over.

So here's how our schedule is looking...

Arrive and just rest
MK Day
Epcot Day
AK Day
DHS Day
Sea World Day
Rest Day and then MVMCP
Leave

(Of course, we may not go in this specific order, but those are the days we are going to make happen)

All that equates to 7 nights, which is 21 credits per day, per person on the Deluxe! Which is pretty much all but 3 or 4 on that big list I put up for you guys. Of course, nothing is set in stone right now...but we cut going back to Akershus, and also cut off Cape May and Raglan Road. Here is where we are planning--for now anyway--going to eat in 13ish months!

Crystal Palace
The Plaza
Tony's Town Square
Hollywood and Vine
50's Primetime Cafe
Tusker House
Spirit of Aloha Luau
Mickey's Backyard BBQ
Kona Cafe
Ohanas dinner
Ohanas breakfast
ESPN Club
Beaches and Cream
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Artist Point
Wolfgang Puck Express
Narcoossees

And all that adds up to 21 credits!! But I know some things will change.
For example, I'm probably going to just do Ohanas for dinner and not breakfast. (And for anyone who remembers my Kona issue...I choose breakfast for that one.)

Also, I really want to do the luau but my mom wants to do Mickey's Backyard BBQ...and I'm not sure I want to do both, but we just very well might! There aren't that many reviews on the BBQ, but the ones I have read are good and I think Landon would love that kind of thing. Plus we all love bbq food. I'm leaning towards both right now.

Finally, I'm not sure if we'll do 2 signature meals. I really want to try Artist Point and Narcoosssees, and my mom want to go back to California Grill, just not during Wishes. So we may do 2 or just one.

Of course, if we did do 2 sig meals and 2 shows, that has 8 credits going to 4 meals. I'm not sure if that's worth it. But it might work out, seeing how when we're at Sea World, we clearly cannot use the plan. Plus, one time this year we shared snacks for breakfast and were decently full. Then we had some left over, so we definitely wouldn't have to share and could be fine using snacks for some meals.

My mom also wants a resting day...which would bring in another 3 credits each if we did. We're still discussing that. I think our MVMCP day is supposed to be for that, and don't know if just that would be fine or if she wants it in the middle of park days. Plus, on that day that we were supposed to rest, we just got bored and did more stuff. So who knows?!
