Squirrel's September Photopass Share-Full

[squirrel]

Hi everyone!

We are all set. I have deposited the cheques and pre-ordered the CD.

Just over a month for most of us. I don't think there is much left for me to plan.

My 2 princesses and I found out we are both going to be at the Coral Reef for lunch on Sept. 12th. Are you all going to be wearing your LGMH's? I will have some on my backpack and the stroller.

I am pretty good at getting the short forms of terms but "LGMH's" what is this mean?

Lime Green Mickey Heads.

You get them from Home Depot. Peel the alien green mickey head off the backing and then laminate to another one and then you have a tag to hang from your backpack, stroller, etc. Then everyone on the Dis can recognize you.

Nice idea! Are these the free chips that you get from the paint department? Need to know where it is before I send DH looking for it.

Yes, they are free and they are in the paint section.

Is everyone getting ready for their trip? It's not long now.

I just spent some time clearing the memory cards for my digital camera.

I am writing this at night so we can call it 17 days till we depart 19 days till we get to WDW. Side trip to Grove City PA so my wife can do some shopping...

Kids are soooo excited... We made autograph books, and personal WDW t-shirts. I got the idea from the Creative DISign thread. You should check it out...

Have a good evening

Still have some more things to pick up and then I will throw them in the suitcase (okay, I can do that now, but you know, I'm procrastinating, LOL!).

Can't wait for Sept 6th, when we hit BUF before heading to WDW on the 7th a.m

I still have a little over a month to go so I am not packing as of yet. But I am making us t-shirts and working on my game plan e.t.c.
For those who go before me have an absolutely wonderful time!! Make sure to tell us all about it when you get back

I just returned from Walmart with a little water bottle/mister that's mentioned in another thread. I have to replace my Spacesaver bags...one of them seems to have sprung a leak!! grrrr.

And I called today to get a dinner seating at Biergarten for the day we arrive. It'll be perfect... 7:30 pm seating so we should finish just in time for Illuminations. <sigh>

I have to keep reminding myself that there's still Labour Day to get past and then...then I can start my usual nuttiness when it comes to WDW.

I hope this photopass stuff is straightforward. LOL

I missed all the extras you can do with it. I just added the boarders and signatures. Didn't know about zooming in and doing close ups or black and white.

 

[squirrel]

Well, time is flying by!

Decided that we should do MNSSHP and was able to change dinner that day to an earlier time.

Had a little trouble with ordering the stroller, but it seems to be fixed. Looks like it is on route to WDW!

Working on Tye Dye Mickey Head T-shirts tomorrow night. I think my mom said she would make me a gate check bag for the stroller!


If you need more memory cards for your camera, Future Shop has the Kingston brand High Capacity SD 4G on for $15.


I hope everyone else is having fun getting ready.

Disneydaddycanada have a great trip-please post some tips/info when you get back. I know I will be waiting to hear how your trip was.

 

[pigletto]

Have a great time everyone!!!!!!
I will officially have 3 weeks to go as of tomorrow (my countdown ticker is off a little bit).
I am still making our shirts and have decided to add autograph books from the Creative Disign page as well so I have plenty to keep me busy until we go.
I can not believe how close it is!!!!

One day till the trip starts...
It feels I have been waiting a life time for this day

Just doing last minutes things around the house. We are driving out tomorrow morning to Grove city PA. Staying 2 nights then driving down to Pittsburgh Airport to catch the flight to Florida... I hope the weather agrees with us. .. I have been watching National Hurrican centre website a couple times a day. Boy! do they change course alot . Last week they had the storm coming straight up north which would have made for a wet drive down... Now it is moving west....

Whatever happens we will make it a great trip!!!

I will send an email upon my return...

 

[pigletto]

I hope you and your family have an absolutely wonderful trip!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!

 

[squirrel]

Disneydaddycanada should be home tomorrow!

Can't wait for a mini trip report.

I leave in 4 days! I'm packed and ready to go.

Mini Trip Report

Hello photopass group!!

Well I am back to the real world once again… I see that you are all counting down the days till your trips start. Here is a quick recap of our trip…

Weather: Hot…. very hot and humid!! It rained only on the last day of our trip. I can only hope that you all have as good weather.

I will review the dining as to the reason why we went down at this time of the year.
Day 1: Arrived late afternoon. Crystal Place dinner… Felt rush, very busy it was a good intro for my DS1 to meet the characters. Food was OK.

Day 2: Chef Mickey’s: Breakfast … Be prepared for a lot of noise. They are building a bigger Chef Mickey’s and all we heard was construction. Food was good, characters were great!
Day 3: Sci – fi: Lunch … from the reviews on the boards I was a bit nervous but this was the best meal we had. The burgers were great, the service and atmosphere A#1.
Day 4: Le Cellier: Lunch... All I can say is got my steak. I would have been disappointed if I had to pay the $30.00 for it… I would not go back.
Day 5: Crystal Place: breakfast … Food good… what can I say, my son loves Winnie the Pooh so I can not complain.
Day 6: 1900 Park fare Dinner: My DD5 was at BBB in the morning and wore her dress to the dinner that night. The characters really interacted with her as she was dressed like a princess. Food was nothing to right home about! My son slept through the whole dinner.
Day 7: Hollywood Vine: Lunch. If you are going to this, be prepared for a lot of noise. Food was not very good. We honestly got the signatures and got out ASAP.

Overall experience with the dining plan was ok. We would not do it again as we found it was way too much food we ended up not using 4 counter services and 6 snacks. This was between 3 people as my son is only 1 ½ years old. We rarely eat desert and felt we were forcing ourselves to eat. You need a lot of control or you will gain a lot of weight.

We have been to a few deluxe hotels (boardwalk, wilderness lodge, and Coronado springs). We can say we loved POP Century. The pools were amazing. The place is really geared for the children. Transportation was overall good. We did notice that the All Stars Resorts had very long line ups at the end of the day at the parks. We would stay at POP again.

Any questions you might have just ask!!

I'm now officially spooked about Hanna. I think Orlando will be on the fringe of the tropical storm but how bad does the storm have to be before Southwest cancels the flight? I'm really annoyed now but I mean, who can I get mad at? (Curses you stupid storm!) <sigh>

Fingers crossed for you. We leave Sunday and am hoping that we will be between 2 storms. Oh well, not much we can do but hope that we can get in and make the best of our vacation.

Hi everyone

Some things have come up and when I get back from my trip I will probably have my nieces full time. I will not have much if any time to be online to make sure everyone is getting on and uploading their photos. So I will need everyones co-operation in making sure that each member contacts the nexts and gives them the password and account name.

I am going to give the information to our first member Disneydaddycanada before I leave. I will do my photos at the end after everyone else has finished so just skip my spot and continue. I will try to get online, but so much is up in the air right now as to what will be happening with the girls.
