Supercallifragilistic-ADR'sApproachUs! May '09 PTR *Trip Report has Begun! Pg. 208*

Your ADR plan sounds good -- I did something similar last year -- I was at work by 7am and called from my cell phone -- worked like a dream!

I love your countdown calendar -- I also love your mouse pad -- isn't that from your wedding?

Can't wait to see what is revealed as you take off the Mickey heads! :goodvibes
 
I honestly don't think that you'll have a problem getting your ADRs...good plan though. Make your Le Cellier ADR right at 7am and then tell them the rest that you want. I was unable to get an ADR for Le Cellier ALL weekend for my Feb trip but if you call right when you can, you should be fine.
 
Woohoo for 180 days! Geez it seems like it was 180 days for me just yesterday! (It may have really been but with so many changes I can't remember when anything was!) LOL
 
Looks like a great ADR plan. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. LOVE the countdown calendar. Whatever the underlying surprise is, I like what I've seen!

180 days!! Yippee!
 

That is the best countdown I have ever seen! I love all of the Mickey heads but to have photos underneath is so cool! I didn't realize you had the photos there. I will remember this for our someday trip! Very creative!!! :thumbsup2
 
Neato...I can't wait to see what's under your countdown calendar too!
I love the picture of Sully :rotfl:
Thanks. Sully likes to "help" me when I am on the computer. Half the time he lays right over my hand that is on the mouse. :rotfl2:

I love your countdown calendar! It's so pretty and colorful and appeals to all my artistic sensibilities.

I will pray that the force is with you for your ADRs. :yoda:
I love it too. I am quite proud of myself. :laughing:
I will take all the force that I can get with my ADR's.

Oh I am glad that it has worked for you in the past. I really hope it works for me.
The mouse pad is from the wedding! I love it, especially since it was free on snapfish with a coupon code.

I hope so. Le Cellier is the one I will be requesting first, no ifs ands or buts about that!

:lmao: I have no idea when you are going, I can't keep track anymore. ;)

180 days!! Yippee!
Hehehe. I am glad you all like it. I made it just as much for you all as I did for Marc and I. :goodvibes

I see the Land!! Awesome countdown poster :thumbsup2

You totally made a a poster w/your pix. I got you figured out.
I have no idea what you are talking about. :rolleyes1

Loving the new board...I totally get it LOL!!! My husband already thinks I'm insane so no calendar for me, except maybe my next trip in December I'll make one LOL

I have a serious Trip Shopping problem. It's all I want to do. Shop. Shop. Shop. I don't want to do Christmas shopping. I want to do shopping for our trip! :rolleyes:

With that said...here's a look at some of our lovely purchases. By our, I mean mine.

A lovely picture taking tripod! It was on sale on Amazon, so I was able to get it for less than $20. It extends to 60 inches, weighs less than 3lbs and comes with it's own carrying case. I am not planning to bring this into all of the parks just for some nighttime shows and I am excited to play around with it when it arrives.

Marc's Christmas present! Okay, I guess I did do some Christmas shopping. It is a Canon PowerShot A470 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom. I bought this from Amazon as well, for $95. Not bad I thought. The reason I went with this one was because Julie Neal, the author of The Complete Walt Disney World uses this camera and was listed as the #2 camera on her list of cameras that she uses for the photos in the book. Pretty high recommendation I thought! Oh yes, and Marc already knows about the camera because I am awful at keeping secrets.

The last purchase that I am going to show you today is something awesome. Now, I know I promised you bag drama in the PTR and I am sad to report that there will be NONE of that. For now, I reserve the right to change my mind. I ordered the most lovely, practically perfect bag there is!

TA DAH! Isn't she loverly? Oh, how I love thee! I haven't come up with a name for her yet, we are still getting acquainted. The pattern is a retired pattern from Vera Bradley but of course. Piccadilly Plum. It's a hipster. I found it on ebay and with a lovely 10% coupon with shipping it was $28. Yayayaya! I love her. She's delightfully and deliciously pink and girly and I love her!

Since I have booked this trip I have stared looking for my trip wardrobe. If I don't get to do back to school shopping for myself anymore then of course I am going to use the excuse of a vacation to go clothes shopping! I told you, I have a serious shopping bug.

Now for my trip wardrobe, I want something comfortable but prettier than what I wore in September. At step up from tshirts if you will, perhaps just some fancier tees. I am not hugely picky, I just want to feel girly and princess-y.

Here are some things I found at Old Navy. I am debating on ordering them tomorrow. What do you all think?

I thought this one would be nice for our dinner at Jiko or the Yachtsman.

I have this one in a pink color and I really like the way the neck is, feels like a step up from a plain ol' tee.

I am going to get these in black, for some reason it wouldn't save the black picture. Only $9.99!
427647594_svMgg-M.jpg


The most expensive shirt is the first one and that is $14.99, but all the others are from $4.99 to $9.99. I think those are decent deals. So I guess I just want some opinions.

This is what I have asked Marc to get me for Christmas. I hope he gets the hint!

Wouldn't it look lovely with my princess-y wardrobe? princess:

In other trip related stuff, I am still working on our itinerary. They still haven't posted the calendar for May 2009. It's really driving me nuts, just so you know. I am really hoping since tomorrow is December 1st that it will be up on the Disney website. I have been freaking about the park hours and such and just want to get our ADR's figured out so I can relax a bit. I did end up making one ADR for....Chef Mickey's! I made it for the night of the "maybe" Pirate & Princess Party. If there isn't a party then we will probably cancel it and have dinner at Coral Reef but at least I have one ADR!

We are at 174 Days until Disney and here is an updated look at our Countdown. And as you can see from my ticker in my signature, Tinkerbell has cleared the castle, which thrills me to no end!

I actually have an official title for our Countdown. Does anyone care to guess at what it may be from what you have seen?? :upsidedow

Love the SNL clip. Too funny! The necklace is gorgeous I hope your hubby gets you that for Christmas. ;)
 
A Sunday update. :worship: You know how I adore those!

There is something about a Disney trip that puts one in the shopping mood. Your purchases look great. I can't imagine your pictures getting any better but look foward to hearing what you think of the tripod. I forget... did you not like your gorillapod?

Marc's camera looks great and quite a bargain too! I don't have that guide book... I may have to check that out!

Your hipster! :worship: Awesome. Love it. Sheesh... now I have to go google hipsters. ;)

LOVE your Old Navy finds. Especially the shirt you are thinking about for Yachtsman. So pretty! And bargains to boot!

I do not have a guess for your countdown calendar but I do love it!
 
I love the Disney Couture jewelry! So much cuteness!
 
I love that SNL clip! I love the hipster too. I keep hoping maybe I'll get one or some birthday money for one. I've bid on a couple on ebay, but someone always swoops in at the last minute and gets it. Petal pink is my pattern.
Like all the tops!
 
LL that clip was hilarious!!! So NOT the Mary Poppins I'm used to:rotfl:
I Love anne hathaway though...shes a doll.

I love your purchases. I prefer the 1st top and the black one the most...but they'll all look great! I hope Marc gets you the necklace. It'll be perfect:goodvibes

I'm looking at tripods too.... I don't want burdened down with a monstosity, but I don't want a gorillapod or table-top tripod either. What to do????

Do you have a hipster already??? I have one. The style is perfect for a park bag... but for me it's just too small:confused3 I need one I can put my camera in, so I don't need to carry a camera bag. I like it alot for shopping and stuff though:thumbsup2
