Tasty Planning Time with ZeBrook! A 2 for 1 PTR - 12/24 - All our bags are packed

Brook,

so glad that Henry is on the mend...:goodvibes

very sad about your foot...:sad1:-we have to get you better for your trip (and life in general...notice my first thought was for your trip...:lmao:)

I do think that boot could become a fashion statement & the haircut is very chic...

I knew I recognized that donkey...The Three Calbereros is really a very cute cartoon/series of cartoons (I think Walt went on a trip to South America in the 40s) anyhow I love the old Disney Cartoons and that's a great one especially to get the whole new redo of the ride in Mexico...

I love that you googled it :goodvibes-love to know what you put in the search engine...

(I don't like that the little guy's name is Burrito :sad2:-that really puts a whole new spin on my affinity for Mexican food...:confused3)
 
Love the haircut Brooke!! I am glad to hear Henry is doing better & no more spots. So sorry to hear about your foot. When you said you went to the doctors-that was the first thing I thought-She is pregnant!! Hopefully you will not need the boot for too long. I hope the weather does not get too hot with that boot on. The pics of CSR look so beautiful!! We have never been there. We love POFQ!! I am sure you will have an awesome time & cannot wait to hear all about it.
 
Hi Brook, have only just begun to read your PTR & have to say that you will Love CSR! Had my first stay there last month & it is all of what you've read that's good, plus some!

Also, the 4 Parks CD is awesome!!! I listen to it all the time. Can't wait to read more!
 
Hi Brook! I hope by now Henry is even better and his rash/blisters are going away. I admit I'm a nervous nelly over my DS and it's not easy when anything is wrong with them and they don't feel 100%. Hang in there little Henry! :goodvibes:goodvibes

I swear you were going to tell us you were PG! :rotfl: Good for you for getting your foot checked out before it's too late! The things we will do for our Disney trips, right? :) I hope the boot helps it heal and it's nothing serious.

Well now you should be less than 50 days, which feels so soon, doesn't it? We're down to almost 70 days and can't wait! I just booked the new Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage for us during our trip and it's a surprise for DS. :cool1:

Love the new haircut by the way!! :banana:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Heather
 

Okay..I think I'm catching up....

Glad the rash is clearing up!

Hope the boot doesn't get too cumbersome and I agree with the DR. The boot must be off by Sept.

Lost--Remember when Ilana and the other guy were talking about Frank when Frank was supposed to be knocked out. The guy asked Ilana if he was a candidate. A candidate for what, who knows, but it's just one more question about Lost that needs to be answered.
 
Joining in. We'll be there from Dec 28 - Jan 2. Sooooo excited about seeing New Years Eve fireworks!!!

You should think about joining us at the Poly beach for NYE fireworks. There will be a small group of Disers, including our very own brookelizabeth.... and Henry and Joe, of course!
 
Oh goodness! I missed your post about your boot! At least you have time for it to get better! :goodvibes

Your haircut is super cute! I love it.

Too cute about the Donkey being Burrito. That makes me giggle. :laughing:
 
So sorry to hear about the boot. Although I totally thought you were pregnant as I was reading! :rotfl: Yes, you absolutely must get it fixed before Disney. Thank goodness for a Dr. who gets it.

Glad H is getting better!

Love the new haircut. Too cute!! :)
 
Sorry for being a bit MIA on my PTR over the past few days, I've been trying to catch up on my subscriptions and I'm almost there. :goodvibes

That is one snazzy boot. I might be a little jealous :snooty:

:lmao: Oh, it is fetching, let me tell you! And the slight hobble you get when you walk-it's so flattering! :rotfl:

Love your new haircut! It looks very nice on you.

Thanks for "googling" the Donkey. I thought it looked familiar too.

Sorry about your foot! I had to wear a boot like that in high school when I hurt my ankle during gymnastics practice. Of course I hurt it in May and had to wear it until September.

We've had really cool weather as well, I'm missing my summer!!

That is awful about having to wear the boot the entire summer!! :headache: I would go crazy wearing it that long.

Today is finally a bit warmer around here, we are in the mid-70s! :yay:

If anyone can rock a boot --- it's you Brook! I hope it heals quickly!

:rotfl2: Thank you!

Hi Brook!
LOVE the new "do" very cute!!! And it must be SO easy (especially with a toddler in the house!).

Sorry to hear about your foot...glad to hear you're taking care of it though!! And glad to hear that Henry is clearing up, too!!!!

Hope you have a great weekend!!!!:goodvibes

The hair is SUPER EASY! My hair was pretty simple before, just product and let it air dry, but this one-no product (except hair spray after it's dry) even. I just comb and leave it air dry, style it a bit with my fingers and some spray and done! It dries quickly too, which is so nice!

Glad the doctor gets Disney... and here is hoping the boot works.

Poor Henry, the kids I babysat for had that while I was growing up -yuck!

Thank you! So far each time I have taken the boot off I've had no pain, but it's still swollen. But, it's only been a few days, so I gotta have some patience I suppose. :rolleyes:

Brooke,
Here is a link to a youtube video enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLOJ9HMkgAE

I LOVE that video and it makes me tear up every time I watch it! Henry loves it too, he dances to the song. :cutie:

Poor Brook! Take care of your foot!

And the haircut looks great!

Thank you! I'm trying to be very disciplined with the boot so it will mend up. I sure wish it wasn't my driving leg though!

Joining in. We'll be there from Dec 28 - Jan 2. Sooooo excited about seeing New Years Eve fireworks!!!

:dance3: I'm SUPER excited about those fireworks too! Not so excited about the crowds though. :rolleyes: Are you planning on watching them in the park, or where?

Glad that Henry is getting better. I just got back from the doctor with my 21 mo old too and she has a viral ***** throat- yuck!! and for the second time!! It is hard when they are feeling bad.
I feel for you with that boot too. My oldest DD had foot surgery (on one foot) May 15th and on the second one June 15th. She is just now starting to walk (or hobble) a bit on both. You dont realize how much you take your feet for granted until something happens:) She is in Darco shoes on both feet. She would go crazy if she had that big tall boot on her feet. Hopefully you will have very quick healing and wont need that at Disney:thumbsup2

Thanks for getting to the bottom of that Donkey:thumbsup2
I dont know if I have ever seen the Three Cabelleros before.

Oh your poor baby!!!!! :guilty: It is so hard when they don't feel good. :sad1:

That is awful about the foot surgery too! I cannot even imagine how stir crazy I would go with two bum legs. I am glad to hear she is starting to get around now though!

I don't think I have seen the Three Cabelleros either, or if I have, it's been a reallyyyyy long time. I do plan to ride it in September though, does that count? :laughing:

Wow, I hope that you foot feels better soon. pixiedust: When I was reading it, I kept waiting for you to say that he told you that you have plantar fascitius. Since that can take a long time to heal, I am glad to hear that your diagnosis is different.

Oh man! Plantar fascitius would be awful! I'm so thankful it's not that! My Mom has gone through that. :sad2:

Well, the actual origin of the term isn't quite certain, but it has been suggested the name came as a result of it looking like one of the packs a donkey might be carrying on its back. At least that's what the Wikipedia article suggests, so who knows. Then again, I had a burrito for lunch today, so I now I'm starting to wonder a bit...

Okay, so that's not sooooo bad. I'm sure I'll think of it every time I eat Mexican though!

Which is why I eat fajitas.

Sorry to hear about your foot. That's a bummer. At least the DOC knows the importance of what he is dealing with here! Hope you get well soon so you can do some Disney Dancing. :cool1:

:rotfl: I love me some fajitas. I keep seeing pics of the ones served at CSR and thinking "Oh yes, you will be mine." :banana:

It has been a while...and I have been in a Disney Depression since I have no trips planned. I also have a hard time getting on the computer now that I am working overnights. DH and I are waiting to hear where we are going to move to in April and we are hoping one of the choices will be Tampa...that is the closest we will be able to get to Orlando. The other choice would be in VA near my sister. One day we will buy into DVC but I would like to buy a house first...time will tell. It would be great if you bought more points and could go twice a year especially with Henry getting older...he is going to have so much fun over the years. I can't wait to go with my kids (when I finally have some) and my Nephew.

No trips! :sad2: That is a major bummer. I hope Tampa works out and then you can be at Disney all the time!!! (or at least very often ;)) When do you find out where you are off to?


 
I'm glad Henry's rash is getting better. DH got that on his face once - it was disgusting!! :scared: We got in a fight because I wouldn't go near him - I was afraid of catching it - kinda funny now that I look back on it...:lmao:

Congrats on 50 days! I hope you get that lovely boot off before your trip - and that your foot feels better!

CSR pics are great. If I have to do a mod for my 40th birthday mini-trip, we will do CSR because it looks like it's the closest mod to Epcot. It looks really nice!

Oh, and speaking of park music, I have "WDW Official Album (2006) Where the Magic Lives ". It's 2 discs of park music and covers all the highlights. My Disney playlist on my Ipod includes that cd, my 5 disc Classic Disney: 60 Years of Magical Music set and my Epcot Illuminations cd. Love it! :thumbsup2

I would so stay away from my DH if he had that on his face too. Ick! I don't blame you a bit!

I'll be sure to take a LOT of CSR pics and give a full report back so you can prepare for your trip! I'm so excited you have a true trip in the makings!!!!!! :cheer2:

The "WDW Official Album" sounds like a great one! I wonder if they still sell that one too, or if the "4 Parks, 1 World" replaced it?

We downloaded the WL music and play it in the car - we both :lovestruc it!

I am glad Henry is getting better. Boo for your foot. Hope it heals quick. Yay for a Disney loving Doc. Very cute hair cut.
You asked me about CBR. We liked it. I have a few pics in my TR. We went mostly for the pirate room. The girls enjoyed it. We also had a fun time at the pool-though the splash area can get crazy. The food court was ok. It think if we had less rain we would have enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds more.

FL has been so rainy this year! Every time I look at the forecast it's rain, rain, rain - all day long! I can see how that could damper a trip a bit. Good excuse to go back though, right? ;)

I opened the link to to your TR and hope to get a chance to read/catch up soon!

Brook,

so glad that Henry is on the mend...:goodvibes

very sad about your foot...:sad1:-we have to get you better for your trip (and life in general...notice my first thought was for your trip...:lmao:)

I do think that boot could become a fashion statement & the haircut is very chic...

I knew I recognized that donkey...The Three Calbereros is really a very cute cartoon/series of cartoons (I think Walt went on a trip to South America in the 40s) anyhow I love the old Disney Cartoons and that's a great one especially to get the whole new redo of the ride in Mexico...

I love that you googled it :goodvibes-love to know what you put in the search engine...

(I don't like that the little guy's name is Burrito :sad2:-that really puts a whole new spin on my affinity for Mexican food...:confused3)

I believe I wrote something like "flying donkey at coronado springs" in the search-and I did an image search to find people that have actually taken pictures of our little Burrito. Once I clicked on a few, I just happened to hit one that had some history on him. Dumb luck! :laughing:

I was thinking the same thing on the Mexican food - but see Vexorg's post above - apparently it is because the food looked like/is shaped like, a pack from a donkey's back. That makes more sense, and lessens the "Are you sure this is beef?" fear a bit. :rolleyes:

Love the haircut Brooke!! I am glad to hear Henry is doing better & no more spots. So sorry to hear about your foot. When you said you went to the doctors-that was the first thing I thought-She is pregnant!! Hopefully you will not need the boot for too long. I hope the weather does not get too hot with that boot on. The pics of CSR look so beautiful!! We have never been there. We love POFQ!! I am sure you will have an awesome time & cannot wait to hear all about it.

I had to make sure to tell my boss I wasn't pregnant too-she cracked up. She said she hadn't thought of that, so whew! :goodvibes Though Joe did randomly mention the other day about how he was pretty sure he wanted a second child. :rolleyes: I started planning pregnancies around upcoming trips. I'm sick I tell ya! :laughing:

POFQ looked SO nice from the bit we saw! We'll have to try that sometime as well.

Hi Brook, have only just begun to read your PTR & have to say that you will Love CSR! Had my first stay there last month & it is all of what you've read that's good, plus some!

Also, the 4 Parks CD is awesome!!! I listen to it all the time. Can't wait to read more!

Oh so good to hear!!!!!!! Are you writing a TR?

 
Hi Brook! I hope by now Henry is even better and his rash/blisters are going away. I admit I'm a nervous nelly over my DS and it's not easy when anything is wrong with them and they don't feel 100%. Hang in there little Henry! :goodvibes:goodvibes

Heather

Yes! Henry's blisters look better each day. And still no new ones, so that's a huge relief!

We are down to 45 days as of today! :yay: I can't wait to start the 30 day countdown and be able to say "1 month from now..."

Okay..I think I'm catching up....

Glad the rash is clearing up!

Hope the boot doesn't get too cumbersome and I agree with the DR. The boot must be off by Sept.

Lost--Remember when Ilana and the other guy were talking about Frank when Frank was supposed to be knocked out. The guy asked Ilana if he was a candidate. A candidate for what, who knows, but it's just one more question about Lost that needs to be answered.

Ah yes! That is right! And what was their code speak? "Who lies in the shadow of the statue?" Or somethin' like that. I seriously need to rewatch a few shows from last season to remember it all again!

You should think about joining us at the Poly beach for NYE fireworks. There will be a small group of Disers, including our very own brookelizabeth.... and Henry and Joe, of course!

I think that is a GREAT IDEA!!!! And eventually, I will start a thread about the DISMeet for NYE fireworks...I keep forgetting...:rolleyes:

Oh goodness! I missed your post about your boot! At least you have time for it to get better! :goodvibes

Your haircut is super cute! I love it.

Too cute about the Donkey being Burrito. That makes me giggle. :laughing:

Thank you!!!! I think it's kind of a cute name for him, and I will think about him every time I eat Mexican. I hope to get a picture of Henry near him too.

So sorry to hear about the boot. Although I totally thought you were pregnant as I was reading! :rotfl: Yes, you absolutely must get it fixed before Disney. Thank goodness for a Dr. who gets it.

Glad H is getting better!

Love the new haircut. Too cute!! :)

I knew I would get people with my seeing the doc comment! My co-worker tells me I'm not allowed to have any more children because she knows I'll probably quit if I do! :laughing:

I do hope the boot is gone after the 3 weeks. I cannot imagine going around Disney with this thing on! BUT I WILL! :rolleyes:



Thank you to everyone on the well wishes for Henry! He's doing great! The rash/blisters are fading more and more each day, and nothing new has popped up!

And thank you for all the compliments on my hair cut. I'm really happy with it! I have an update brewing. The Plan 1.2 (you knew it was inevitable, right?), and a BAG update!! In addition, I want to share a few "must do's" from each park and some memories from past WDW trips. I hope to get at least some of this up tonight or tomorrow!

Henry is currently slowly waking from his nap...so I gotta get rolling...:goodvibes

Have a great Sunday all!
 
Love the Haircut!
I've been really behind on all my subscribed threads too!

Oh, poor thing! Hope it does the trick! Cool that you got a Disney-loving doctor...

I can just picture Henry saying, "Boot!"

Your haircut is darling!


Kathy
 
I knew you would be pumped! Bags, shoes and haircuts. Can't beat it! :rotfl:



popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::

You know I was just thinking how it would be cool to visit the Dells and those awesome rock formations..then I realized I'd probably have to sacrifice WDW...........................................

Thanks Kathy! The boot is a pain in the heiny! But, if it means I can walk the whole day without swelling and pain, it will be worth it. :goodvibes

Ya, not worth it! WDW trumps the Dells. Hit the Dells on a random side-trip that brings you to the midwest - it is worth seeing then!
 
How many plans do you write up?
How many do you think out in your head as you are falling asleep?

COUNTLESS!!! :rolleyes1

Or is that just me?

No, I know it's not-this is the DIS and I read your PTRs too!! ;) :goodvibes

Due to all this thinking, planning and advice given here, The Plan 1.2 has naturally emerged. Here it is, along with some additional detail.

My changes/notes are in red:

Wednesday, September 2:

Arrival - our flight got bumped up by about a half hour, so we now land just after midnight which might bring us onto property technically on the 2nd!
SLEEP

Thursday, September 3:
Wake up in WDW!! Allow Henry to be our alarm clock
Animal Kingdom
(CS lunch - Flametree BBQ)
Explore AKV-Kidani
Tentative: MK for Spectro and/or Wishes This calls for a long day; so this might not happen today-option for "Free Evening" below
(CS - CASEY'S! hello my pretty corn dog nuggets!)

Friday, September 4:
Wake up early - Crystal Palace breakfast with Pooh & friends!! at 8:25 am! YES IT'S TRUE! :yay: Brook will be up for RD! (of course we'll still be in the restaurant during RD, but it will still give us a bit of a start - versus the 9:30ish we had previously)
MK
(CS lunch in mind - CHH, tuna sammich, drool)
Explore BLT
MK closes at 7:00 pm this day, it's the first MNSSHP. We will explore BLT, and either call it a night or explore. I have a few ideas...possibly view Hallowishes from the Poly Beach, simply enjoy CSR pool and playground, hop to another park (They just added EMH to DHS this night, or Epcot EMH) or DTD. We'll roll with it this night.

Saturday, September 5:
Allow Henry to be our alarm clock
Breakfast at the Main Street Bakery. Oh yes.

Monorail to Epcot
(CS lunch - Sunshine Seasons, Tangierine Cafe, haven't tried either!)
Free evening - Illuminations, or same open ideas as above, explore resorts, enjoy ours, DTD, another park, etc.

Sunday, September 6:
Wake up early, make DHS RD (or very close to) - breakfast at CSR
DHS

Sci-Fi lunch@ 11:20
(If we are around for dinner, Studio Catering Company or Starring Rolls, SCC chicken=yummy!, SR delish looking sammiches)
Free evening - same options as above (MK has evening EMH)

Monday, September 7:
Departure day
I originally thought we'd just kick around the resort; however, Joe :lovestruc suggested we "Wake up very early and do a mad dash [to the parks]"
So that is just what we are going to do! ME should be around 12:00 for our 3:30ish flight - so we'll hit up whatever park we are feeling that morning!

We are planning afternoon breaks on both the MK day and the DHS day. The break will occur around lunch, include napping for at least Henry and a swim for all of us, I hope to be back in the park by around 5:00 pm.

For our non-RD days, Henry will nap in the stroller (he's a pro) and we'll be done park touring earlier in the evening.

Since MK closes early on the day we are touring (I planned this specifically hoping for lower crowds during the day with MNSSHP that night and no Spectro and crowd levels of 4); I am thinking we'll hop to MK one night and/or on our Departure Morning. I really like the idea of seeing the Castle as the last thing before getting shoved back into the real world by the unMagical Express. ;) We will see - I just have these as ideas, we are going to "go with the flow"! :goodvibes

Any ideas/suggestions for the plans?

I've been working on my Ride Lists, so I hope to be sharing that-along with some past trip memories soon!
 
I think you really should do MK on your last day for RD! It has the cutest ceremony of all parks and I am sure Henry will love it, it has lots of dancing and waving! :goodvibes
 
Plan 1.2 looks super spiffy! I think you are going to have a great time and can't wait to get your impressions (and lots of pictures) of BLT!
