Spending my birthday in Disney! Oct 2010 PTR - UPDATED 10/11 TR STARTED

I did almost all of my packing already and I still have 27 days to go! I can't plan out in advance what I'm going to wear so I'm always overpacked but I'd rather have it not need it than need it and not have it! I packed exactly enough t-shirts but I also threw in some tank tops (which I probably won't wear for fear of getting sunburned), but just in case!
 
I definitely like that peach shirt for your birthday! Also definitely like the plain navy dress for Ohana, too.
That's nice that you agreed to take your sister's air mattress-- I probably would have refused and made her figure it out lol.

Thanks for the feedback! The dress is actually a teal color. It looks darker cause of the lighting I guess? :confused3

I'll bring it but she can blow it up and find a place to put it! :laughing:

I'll probably throw in a couple extra shirts and maybe another pair of shorts just incase I need it. But I like that I figured out what I wanted to wear so I know exactly what to pack. And this way I can avoid wearing any of it for the next two weeks so I won't have to do much laundry before we go! ;)

Well now that it's decided to be like 40 degrees outside (gotta love the NE :rolleyes: ), I know I won't need my capris or tank tops until Florida so into the bag they went!

And I have enough t-shirts and "unmentionables" :rotfl2: that I was able to pack those too and still have enough to last me! I'll have to wait til the last minute to do my BFs stuff though because he has a million t-shirts and only like 2 pairs of shorts! :headache: I just wanted to be prepared this year...I've been stuck doing laundry til 1am the night before, and last year we forgot stuff when we left for the airport and had to turn around and go back to the house to get it. I just don't want that to happen again!
 
He did have a couple solo songs that were big. He's made quite a few solo albums. I saw him when he did a show in NYC by himself. I was so close. :love:

I've heard the rumors about Boyz II Men but nothing has been confirmed yet. That actually would be pretty awesome.

I'd looooove to have all my NKOTB stuff back. My cousin found a bunch of his sister's NKOTB stuff in the attic and said I could have it. But that was like two months ago and it never happened!

Okay so I've heard one of his songs...the biggest one. It used to be on TRL, like #5 or #6, while I was waiting for my Backstreet Boys who were always #1. :rotfl2:

Boyz II Men would be awesome. I never really put them in the same genre as BSB or NKOTB but whatev.

Tell your cousin you will disown her if she doesn't give you the box!! Back up this statement with bro's before....something that rhymes with bros. :rotfl:

(P.S. The tour dates will be released soon. I sent a memo to BSB's people saying if they didn't release it within like a month, they would be breaking my heart and henceforth, breaking a promise they made me when I was like 8!)

Sorry i have like fallen off the face of the planet. I have been so busy between work, Landon, youth and football. Craziness. I hope all is well with you. Your clothes look fabulous and you will rock them, I'm sure. I can't believe you are so close. That means its almost October...WHAT THE HECK?!?! Where has 2010 gone???
 

How did I get so behind on your PTR?!?! :confused3

Ok, what are these lime green Mickey heads you speak of??? I love your blue and white tank for MK on the first night, and I totally vote for the brown tank on AK day...its much more Safari ISH...if that makes any sense:thumbsup2

For Ohana, I vote the dress on the right because it looks kind of flower-y, and since ohana is in the poly, that makes sense to me. OR if you have some kind of neclace or earrings with flowers, dress up the all blue dress and wear that!

You're so far ahead of me with your outfit planning! I have no idea what i'm packing yet, I need to get on the bandwagon!!!

The weather has been weird here. One day it's in the 50s and cool and today its like 85. :confused3 My allergies are crazy and I'm hoping I don't get sick before the trip with all this nutso weather!

That's exactly what I don't want to do, laundry until the wee hours of the nigth and end up packing when I'm dead tired. :laughing: That's when I always forgot things. And we can't turn around and go back because we have 2 major bridges to cross (the airport is in the NYC area) and I'm not paying a small fortune in tolls! So I better have everything! :rotfl:

Yes! Stay the Same. I love that song. Jordan, Joe, and Donnie usually have solo sets (Idk why Donnie, he can't really sing, he really just has stage presence but I guess cause he's one of the favories) and for one of the tours, Joe's solo was Stay the Same. That boy can sing!

You are too funny with your BSB stuff. 'They would be breaking my heart and breaking a promise they made me when I was 8' :lmao: You were 8? I was in high school when they were big. I feel old. :laughing: No wonder you don't remember NKOTB!

I figured you'd been super busy! I just posted on your TR :) How is the new job going?? And I know!! This year has flown by!!!

I've been updating more often than usual lately!

Lime green Mickey heads are paint chips at Home Depot. They're free and you can grab as many as you'd like. They're used as a way to spot other DISers. I guess you could say it's like a mascot? :laughing: What I'm planning to do is punch a little whole in one and make it a keychain, write my DIS name on it, and hang it off my bag.

I agree that the darker tank looks more safari-ish. The only thing with that tank is that its tight, the other one if more flow-y. Maybe I'll bring both and see which one is more comfortable for the day.

I think I'm going to where the blue dress and with this set of jewelry I have. I have a necklace and bracelet with what looks like blue stones on them in different shades. I think I may ever have earrings like that too.

I like planning my outfits! It's fun! :) I ordered two new tops yesterday too so I'll do an updated post once those come in :)
 
Oh my gosh, I can't believe there are only like 12 days left!!

I love your white/blue flowered top! Too cute! That outfit will be perfect for MK night 1.

I like the creme colored top for birthday day!

I vote for the left dress for Ohana!

And I absolutely love your DHS shirt! Your outfits look great! :)

I can't believe it either!

Thanks for your feedback. I ordered a couple shirts from LOFT last night (they sent me a promo coupon so you know I just HAD to use it) so the DHS and IOA outfits are gonna change. ;) I'll post an update once the shirts are delivered. I'll probably end up wearing that Mickey or Aeropostale shirt on the plane!

I'm afraid of getting sick, too! People at my job have been sick on and off for a couple of weeks and my BF was complaining the other day that he wasn't feeling well so I practically hooked him up to an orange Juice IV! :rotfl2:

Ugh! Tolls! :sad2: I'm so glad my step-dad got me an EZ Pass....even though we hardly ever drive though NY anymore, it's just so much easier when we do!

I've been taking vitamin c supplements like a crazy person. I will not get sick!!! :laughing:

I have an EZ Pass and I hate the thing. :rolleyes: People still end up stopping or driving really slow through the toll and defeating the whole purpose. Or, since it's set to automatically add more money from my account when the balance is low, they charge me random amounts every month. It used to be $35, then it was $40, and for the past couple months it's been $60! I guess it goes based on how much you use it. I pay tolls everyday since I live in NJ, the land of endless toll roads.

Okay so Stay the Same did not sound familiar so I youtubed the videos...and I think it was "I Love You Came Too Late" because the video I'm thinking of was in a diner like that one. Haha. Maybe? Idk...but those songs both came out like 99/10 so I was 9 or 10. Haha. And I think I was 8...I know my first concert was in 4th grade...I think I was 8 then? Idk!! I don't think you're old...I'm just a baby!! I can't even drink legally!! :rotfl2:

My new job is going really well!! I'm loving it!! They always have all sorts of random, special crap going on. Like I know you saw that Taste of Colorado fb status where I had my "sirloin lollipop" haha. YUM! And today was apparently "Elephant Appreciation Day". I had saw a zoo advertisement for it and then there was an email about it and they made that fair food "elephant ears" to celebrate. Haha. So random. But fun.

Oh my gosh...that sounds heinous!! Our only toll road around here is non-stop for everyone. They just take pics of license plates and then send you a bill. It's nice. Especially since they must have my wrong address on file...;)

Oh yeah, I Love You Came Too Late was another song of his. I love that song. Now it's in my head. When I went to see him solo, he sung that song. :love: I love Joey McIntyre.

So apparently Donnie Wahlberg was on the radio station in LA and he said 'Nothing is happening right now' regarding the tour with BSB. Idk what the heck is going on with that. :confused3

Glad you're loving your new job! :goodvibes

Oh the toll roads in Jersey. Blech. There's the parkway which has a toll booth, oh every 20 or 30 miles. And the turnpike tolls, which vary depending on where you get on and off. Then we have about 30821 tunnels and bridges connecting us with NY: the Lincoln, Holland, GW, Tappan Zee, Verrazano, Goethals, Outer Bridge. They all cost about $8-$12 each. Not to mention the bridges that connect us with Philly and the rest of PA. I love NJ but it's the most expensive state to drive in!
 
10 days to go!

I just used online check-in. I've never used it before. I know all we have to do when we get there is go to the online check-in desk and show our ID and they'll hand us our packet. Has anyone done this?

My shirts from LOFT are due to arrive today! I just tracked it online. When I ordered them Tuesday, the confirmation said they'd be here by 10/4 so I didn't expect it to get shipped so quickly! I think I'm going to do one week from today posts and I'll include my updated outfits within those posts. :)

I got the schedule for October and I'm only working 13 days next month! Awesome!! :goodvibes I love seeing the word "OFF" next to my name.

I can't believe the trip is getting so close!! I can't wait to get on that plane and be on my way!
 
you checked in online?!? How? Do you know where your room will be, or will you find that out when you go to the online check in desk? Thats awesome, I totally want to do that.
 
We did online check in last year - it is just like regular check-in, but with a shorter wait time when you arrive at the resort.

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/myVacation/index?id=MyVacationIndexPage The information is there for online check-in. You won't know where your room is until you get there but it makes the check-in process quicker and easier because you're giving them your info ahead of time. You can even give them a credit card to keep on file if you like. You can print out your confirmation and there's a separate desk for online check-in when you get to the resort.

As long as it speeds the process up! I just want to check-in, throw my stuff in my room, and go to MK :)
 
Yay for online check in! Can't wait to see your shirts from Loft-- I'm addicted!! I love their selection and the sales are always great.

I'm so addicted to Loft. My sister used to work there and she signed me up for their cc. I get so many promo cards and gift certificates, they just keep me coming back. Love their clothes!
 
I've done online check-in twice now. Both times I checked in prior to 10am and both times I had a room ready.

That means tomorrow you get to do the SINGLE DIGIT DANCE!!! :woohoo:

Yay for online check-in! I tried to do it last year and the site was down every time I tried. It was annoying! Hopefully it will be functioning this time!

I'm only working 11 days in October! :rotfl2: :cloud9:

I hear ya on the plane thing...I can't wait either! I look at the planes flying overhead and think "in ___ days, that will be me!"
