We plan on getting our AP's on Tuesday. Do you think we will be able to get a MM with a coupon when we buy our passes??? Oh well even if we dont we will be in Fla. I am packing now Coleen will pack when she gets home from work.

I hope everyone is having a GREAT Sunday!

I hope you have a great trip. Enjoy it through the kids eyes!


I was helping a friend plan for an upcoming trip today. It was almost as good as planning for my family . I guess that's called virtual reality.

The girls and I are back after spending the day with Gail. We met up at Epcot and rode Spaceship Earth (the changes are really cool!) and then grabbed Fast Passes for Test Track. We rode a few more things and then it seem to get VERY crowded so I said lets just take the monorail over to the MK, enjoy the ride and I can grab another litho. So we did that, the weather was alot nicer over at MK But still very crowded. We sat and watched the parade and the girls and I headed home.

On the way back to our car, I stopped at Guest Services at Epcot, the one outside the park. The girl there said no, they do not have Mickey Monitors, but I did read a few different places of people getting them there, so who knows really. I told her I was told I could get one there b/c I didn't get one at my house and she said they didn't have them. I guess try to call the passholder phone number and see what they say. With people buying APs and renewing there at Guest Services I can't see them not having them.

I have 2 now with 2 to go. The pain in the neck one is going to be MGM where you have to go all the way to the Backlot tour to get one. AK apparently you don't even have to go into the park, it's right at Guest Services at the gate.

Oh and Steve and Colleen, safe travels and enjoy your trip!

Sounds like fun, Diana. Did Gail send John & the girls back to MI and she's catching a flight home sometime this week? How cool that she got to extend her stay. And, that you had the chance to get together, I know now that your a FL resident how much you enjoy meeting up with visiting friends. Lucky you!

Yep, John, Deanna and her friend all drove home yesterday and Gail is staying at SSR and flying home on Thursday.

And you're right, It's always fun to go up for a few hours and visit with our friends!

I hope you are able to get out in the morning.

Walker & I just came home, it's nasty outside once again. I'm thinking the kids will probably have another snow day tomorrow. I'll be rather surprised if they don't, I think we already have about 3" from the time Walker & I went to his cub scout event until we left, not even 2 hours later. It's that wet and heavy stuff and it's STILL coming down fast & furious.

Coming home, we saw a really bad accident at the entrance to our subdivision - it looked like between a car and at least one snow plow. We couldn't even turn in as the road was closed off. I hope everyone was okay, we didn't see any ambulances, just the tow trucks pulling everything off the grass areas.

I almost didn't make it into the driveway as it looked like the plow made 1 pass down the middle of the street and pushed everything to the sides. Walker would have been so excited to get stuck and I would have been fuming, as Gary & Cameron are still out there and I would have had to dig us out. I'd be knocking on all the neighbors doors for help - wait, they have been having Gary help them with their snow removal lately, so that wouldn't have helped any.

 

[chipscinderelly]

Diana - thanks for the update on your experience with the MM.. what a bummer! I am wondering if they will give them to new AP holders? HMMM

Steve - hope you guys got out ok and are on your way! Have a grand time.

Gail - I'm so jealous

Cindy - ugh that so sounds like horrible weather. I hope it stops soon!

Cindy...it sounds like you feel the same way that I do. I'm ready for winter to be over!! I drove for almost 6 hours on Thursday in snow and sleet going out to see Dana for Mom's Weekend at her university. It is usually a 4 hour trip. At times I was driving 25 mph on the interstate! It just started to snow again here, and I am getting tired of it.

Spring can't come soon enough for me.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Julie...the coupons are going our with todays mail! I forgot yesterday...Sorry!

Diana...sounds like you and Gail had a blast!

Steve and Colleen...Have a safe and fun trip! Lucky you, getting out of the snow for a while! Bring the warm weather back with you!

Cindy...Did the boys end up with a snow day? We have about 3" of snow, it wasnt as bad as I thought...The girls ended up having school, they were OK with that because they dont want to have to make any days at the end of the year when its warm.

I took my car in last night, got the rental, and went home and never left the house. I was in an accident of Friday, and didnt want another one. On friday a delivery truck stopping at the house next door to me hit my the back end of my car. Did about $4000 worth the damage. No one was hurt, but if the guy was a little more careful, my car wouldnt have been hit either.

 

[cgcw]

Yikes, Tina, I'm glad your okay. Sorry about your car. I'm sure it's tough as you weren't doing anything to continue to the accident. Hopefully it will be fixed and good as new in no time.

Mary, you are absolutely right, I am ready for spring. I'm anxious for all the snow to melt so I can see if the daffodils are starting to peek out. It's been a rough winter here, more than it has been in several years.

Erin - Sorry! I didn't mean to rub it in about Spring Training! It certainly does stink that the Tribe is leaving the Grapefruit League after this season. I think that they're the only other AL Central team... Now, the real question is: Will you guys manage to hang-on to Sabathia???

Diana - As the blonde pregnant one already stated, yes, we'll be at the game on 3/9. It is too bad that we couldn't put a big shin-dig together again. The team's schedules just didn't jive this time. Plus, we're going to be down there with some of our Tigers friends. They're staying with us, and will be tied to our sides for the entire trip, due to their lack of knowledge of Disney and Florida in general. I'm not too sure how they'd feel about a big get-together. One nice thing about Spring Training - There's always next year, and I guarantee that we'll be down there at some point!

Tina - I'm glad that you're okay! Car accidents stink beyond belief. We're coming up on the year anniversary of having our truck totaled, and I'm still steamed about it.

Count me in amongst those ready for Spring! I just read an article stating that Michigan is already above average snowfall this season, and we're supposed to get another 3"-5" today. Yippee. I'm strange in that I actually don't mind winter, but I've about had it with the bitter cold, and I'm not so sure that my back can handle yet another shovelful of snow. Doesn't Mother Nature know it's baseball season?!? Geez!

Did everyone go to WDW or what?

We finally did Walker's birthday party today - at the roller rink. The kids had fun, as did Gary, out on the skates. Walker was tickled pink that Gary decided he was going to give it a try. Walker even volunteered to help keep him on his feet, but Gary did good on his own.

After that it was off to hockey class. Between inline skating for 2 hours and ice skating for an hour, I'm sure Walker will sleep well tonight. That is after he's done opening and playing with all the presents he brought home.

Cameron's offf at a party himself so it's just Gary & I to fight over which channel to put the TV set on. That doesn't happen very often with the kids always wanting to play those video games. Who's idea was it to connect them to the big screen tv in the family room. I wonder if they'd notice if we move the playstation and wii into their bedrooms.

Hi Cindy - I'm still up here in the freezing north - leaving on Wed for WDW and a non-Disney cruise with friends. But just so I can get my Disney fix we're adding a few days on before and after the cruise. I'm hoping that by the time I get back spring will be showing around here.

Today I was busy with Christopher's 2nd birthday. What a difference a year makes! Last year he cried when we sang to him but this year he was all smiles and got into the party full force. He really did like cake! And presents too! It was alot of fun!!!

Like I said earlier, I'm out of here Wednesday morning - really looking forward to getting away from this white stuff and seeing some of the beautiful colors of the Carribbean waters!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Cindy - still here... but Matt graduates from DeVry today so his parents are in town and we had a gathering last night . I'll try to post some photos tonight of my big graduate - I am so proud of him .

Sounds like an awesome party for Walker - I love that he offered to help Gary!

Mary - travel safely!

We also leave Wed for Florida ! We're going to see Grandma first in Sebring and then head back to the world. I can't wait to see the mouse, some good friends from our cruises as well as some wedding friends. I'm also looking forward to hopefully warm weather as it's only going to be 38 here tomorrow (was 75 here yesterday)

Proudly bragging on the NEW GRADUATE in our home

not so fab photo of me but the baby looks good

and actually getting his degree (he's the blury guy who walks fast so we hope the University photographer captured it)

 

[iluvdisney]

Diana - just wanted to let you know that today was the Baby Shower and your Diaper cake was a big hit - my daughter who is expecting twins in September is already requesting, not 1 but 2 of them. And it went over really big with the new mom-to-be and her family. Thanks again!

 

[iluvdisney]

Congrats to Matt!

Great pics -thanks for sharing! And, I think you look great Julie.

 

[chipscinderelly]
