The Bacon strikes again! Bouncin' back in Sept! UPDATE: We're back! What a trip! p43

[cherbear]

Thank y'all for your patience. As you can see, I FINALLY posted another day on the itinerary. I have a lot to do in the coming weeks. Can you believe my trip is only 3 weeks away?! (and 2 days...but who's counting )

Mike and I are both looking forward to getting away. We're thankful for free dining because otherwise, we wouldn't be able to afford to eat
I'll try to be better about posting almost every day until my trip. I feel so lost this time around. I was so prepared last year!
So, what should I do now? What would y'all like to see next? I still have to post the last(departure) day, but after that I am not sure what I should do. Maybe my packing list, shopping list, "hopes for the trip" list? Any other suggestions guys and gals?
Oh, by the way, I've finally begun tanning again (yesterday). Yes, fake baking But it's the only thing that really helps me. I am hoping to get enough color so that I can go out in the sun and not burn in the parks. Last year I started early and had a nice pretty tan, but I won't be nearly as dark this year. Oh well Life gets in the way sometimes!

Hey Cheri

Day 7 looks great



How bout packing list, your must do attractions, must have snacks, drinks

 

[OrangeBlossom15]

Don't worry about being less prepared this year Cheri. Something tells me that this will be your best trip ever. You and Mike really need to get away! I'm so excited fo ryou -- you would think I was going!

 

[team weasel]

Hey girlfriend. Glad to see ya!

Don't stress about not being prepared - you and Mike are old pros when it comes to WDW!

I can't believe our trips are this close!!!!

How 'bout some updated pics of your puppy?

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Well, remember last year when we started posting stuff relevant to WDW? Like pics of our resort, ride photos, pics of the food...

I started today off with a video from Splash Mountain.

I fake bake too before I make my trip down south. Pastey white isn't so attractive in shorts. You need to get away and glad that you can eat too. I so wish I could've taken advantage of the free dining.

HEY! I resemble that remark! (j/k )

 

[cherbear]

I promise I'll come back and post replies later...but I just HAD to say this now.

I forgot to tell y'all that I'm in on a Photopass share with a few others here (Beana being one of them. Beana!)

Well, I also just booked a private 30 minute photopass session for Tuesday, the 16th (Day 4 of our trip) at the Polynesian at 7:00pm!!!

Now I have to decide what we will wear. I may look for a nice white or light blue dress, and find a shirt for Mike to coordinate. What do y'all think?

 

[Trentmom]

That is cool about the photopass share.


How awesome about the Photo Session


I would definitely go with matching colors. I think light blue sounds great

Marshay did one with red and I think last year might have been blue and they looked awesome

Yeah, I also feel that tan fat looks better than white fat

 

[hlrababy]

OOooooh, Cheri!!! The photo session at the Poly sounds nice!!!!

 

[team weasel]

OOOOOOOoohhhh!!! A photo shoot!! That sounds so cool!

Day 8, Sept 20 – Last day (going home )

This is a whatever day…
-MGM has an EMH in the morning so I thought we’d start off there IF we can wake up early enough. ToT and RnR all the way, baby!!!!
-I believe we have to be back at the resort around 2ish, so we have a long morning to enjoy our last moments at WDW!
-If we split enough meals earlier in the trip, we might have some CS credits banked. If so, we’ll use them to eat lunch. If not, we’ll pay out of pocket to eat somewhere.
-We'll go to whichever parks we feel like being in, and head back to the resort around 2 to catch our ME bus back to MCO
-I don't wanna come back here but I guess I don't want to lose my job either
-Load my pictures up as soon as I can and get started on the trip report within a week (and actually get it finished within a few months )

That is so cool -- light blue sounds nice. Can't wait to see pics!

Day 7 looks fun and not too structured and nice ending with Le Cellier - yum yum! Day 8, the inevitable going home day looks fun too ...I like that y'all are just leaving it open to whatever you feel like. Hopefully you'll have some good CS credits left for a good last meal there.

And as far as the photopass session, just be careful with Mike and a white shirt (if he's anything like me) if y'all are going to be eating before the session. I would SO end up spilling something on the shirt

Not much time left, have fun with all the last minute prep stuff and the tanning and such. I hope you two have a great time and are able to get away from all of the heavy family stuff and work stuff you've had to deal with recently

 

[Trentmom]

Hope you have enough CS credits left to get yourself a nice meal

Last day is always sad, but we will be happy to have you back to get your Trip Report Started

 

[TrueEeyore]

I can't believe you're going so soon!! I wish I were going, too.
That's awesome that you booked a photoshoot! I would love to do that one day.

I might have asked you last year, but where do you tan? Tan Lines?

 

[Disneymommom]

Hey Cheri, I am going to "try" and get my seasonal pass soon if I can swing it. Let me know, again, lol, where you are staying and when we can meet up. Even if I can only get over to Disney for an hour, I want to do that. I'm thinking I could come to the resort and park there as they don't charge for parking at the resorts, LOL, see I'm not nearly as dumb as I look. Then come meet up with you and everyone else at the one time at the little party!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I wanna stay with you till Saturday!!

 

[cherbear]

I'm less than 3 weeks out and there's a huge storm projected to come straight for me!

Then there's 2 other "disturbances" out in the Atlantic which they think could become storms.

I am just praying that my vacation doesn't get disrupted by any of these things! I've been looking forward to this for a year now!
