By the way, I found something I might buy to take notes in for this year's trip:
Tinkerbell notebook

Awwww she's so pretty. I love sketchs of Tink. They are my favorite.

Slightly off topic now but why did your G-Ma eat the bacon that night? Why didn't she wait till the morning? Would a few more hours do anything more to bacon sitting in a purse all day?

The one picture of you by the pool table looks like you're in a hotel. You have your camera bag (or purse) and it looks like you're walking around a resort or something. That is some house!!!!!!

 

[team weasel]

Woot Woot! I'm in.

Time to partay!

 

[OrangeBlossom15]

Wow that house is really something. I haven't played pool in forever. Can't wait to see more!

I just can't tell you how much you just made me laugh! I can't understand why she ate it at all, let alone that night. It was the strangest sound, though, hearing her eat the bacon whilst I tried to get to sleep.

Yep, it felt like a hotel, too. (and yes, it was my camera bag) It's a HUGE house. You'll see more of it soon...
Jerry was a big honcho at Coca Cola, if that tells you anything.

Woot Woot! I'm in.

Time to partay!

Dianna!!!!!

(hey I just realized banana and Dianna rhyme )

Wow that house is really something. I haven't played pool in forever. Can't wait to see more!

sure is! I will post more pics in a bit.

Me neither and we have our own pool table!

 

[team weasel]

This sh is bananas...B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

We had a nice little visit that night, and crashed by midnight. We woke up the next morning(Friday) around 7:30-8:00 because breakfast was at 8:30. Jerry also worked as a short order cook a long time ago. He makes the best pancakes I've ever eaten!! We call it J-Hop (like I-Hop, but BETTER!)

I made it down a little late just before 9...my Mom, Dad, and sister had made it already (I don't think I mentioned they were staying at Linda's house down the street) Tracey was offered the blue room, but decided to stay in Linda's spare room. I thought she was nuts!

Because I was starving (and late) I didn't get any pics of breakfast. I know, you can smack me! But before you do, you might want to take a look at what I DID get a pic of...

wait I didn't get his good side...

See! I told you he was on this trip

Yoohoo, Mods, I need a bacon smilie

Anyway, Jerry tried to feed me like 6 pancakes, and I told him my limit was 2. I had a few pieces of bacon, and one extra for uh...ya know.

It was really, really good.
Puff enjoyed it

He got a short stack....(some of what I didn't eat. )

Once we were nice and full, us ladies (minus Laurie) decided to go shopping.
Here we are, purses in hand, ready to go!

Here are my purchases for the day:
some jean capris

a stylish short jacket I got for like $8 at Ross (was $10 and one side of the clasp was missing so I got 20 % off. I still need to go to the craft store and get that piece)

Here's a cute summery dress I found.

It is on the longer side, but with the shoes I found it looks really cute:

They were only $11!! And they're pretty comfy as far as heels go.

Here's a pic my sister and I took the following day, you can see my jewelry purchase

The earrings and the necklace were a set. I paid $20--more than any article of clothing I bought but I just HAD to have them.

I bought 2 other things not pictured. Since my kitchen is apple-themed, I found an apple dip bowl at Tuesday Morning for $3. It came with a spreader thing with "sliced apples" on the handle. Couldn't pass it up at that price.
The last thing was a grey tank top and panty set (to sleep in)...it was also about $3 so I figured why not!

More pics later. Hope I'm not boring y'all to death!

I didn't get a chance. I was too busy taking pictures

I agree...it's so beautiful there! I got a really good outdoor picture I will be posting in a bit.

Yeah it's really cool. We watched a movie last summer but this time we didn't have a chance. It was a busy weekend with setting up the crawfish boil Friday evening and the crawfish boil going on most of the day Saturday.
I wanted to watch the Disney video, but alas, we didn't get a chance. I will bring it with me next time we visit and hopefully we'll get a chance.

yup, she really does!

well, at least Mike let you have the camera. Maybe that's a sign of hope for your WDW trip.

cool! Can't wait to see it

That stinks that you didn't get to watch the WDW vacation video That would have been such a cool way to watch it. Hopefully you at least got to talk disney

wow!

That is awesome!! Your notes will look great in there

oh that just made that story even funnier!

I saw your next update and I loved the pictures! J-Hops sounds awesome! You're making me want pancakes! That was nice of you to share with Puff.

I knew bacon would re-appear.

I love all the clothes you bought. And I especially love the shoes!!

You and your sister are so cute! And I love the picture of the 3 of you together from the morning.

Oh yeah, and great jewelery!! I just love sea foam green

 

[Trentmom]

WOW...Cheri!!!

I must have missed it, but whose house is that?

That is gorgeous!!!

When Can I move in


Nice Bacon Pic


Looks like you got a bunch of great deals on your clothes..very cute

 

[Disneymommom]

Without further adieu, I bring you...the beginning of the itinerary!

Day 1, Sept 13th – Arrival day!
Wake up at 4:30 - 5 am
Load up the car & out the door by 6 am (drive to get Dad so he can drive us to the airport)
Eat breakfast at the airport, or in the car on the way
Flight leaves at 8 am and is scheduled to arrive at MCO at 10:45 am (Orlando time)
Take the DME to Disney’s Pop Century Resort, arrive around 12:30 pm
Hopefully we can check in early, and we’ll request a room close to the front (preferred)
If we check in(I expect so), we’ll bring our carry-on bags and get settled in, take pics, decorate the window, etc. Then head on out to do something!
If we can’t check in then we’ll leave our carry-on bags with the front desk and head out to do something very Disney and very fun! It’s really up in the air. I think I’d like to hit Epcot, hit the new SE, grab a TT fast pass, and have a quick service at one of the countries in WS. Any suggestions? (besides Mexico) Then we can tour the WS a little bit. Sake, anyone?
I’m sure we’ll head to DTD eventually. (I would say we’d hit DQ but it will probably be packed on a Saturday afternoon)
ADR – Raglan Road at 7 PM for just Mike and I. I had this scheduled for just us originally because my cousin wasn’t going to arrive until Sunday (14th) so I left it alone since I don’t know what time the 4 others are going to arrive. (They are driving—I’ll explain in a later post)
We might take in a show at the Comedy Club and then head back to the resort early. I'm sure we'll be very tired and we have an early morning ahead!

Great first day Cheri!!! I love it. Now you know it's really real when you start your itinerary!!!

 

[Disneymommom]

That house is awesome Cheri. I was lucky enough to spend a few weekends in a house like that myself. Also a friend's sisters house. They had the home theater, pool, two garages, huge bedroom suites with bathrooms a 3-bdrm apt for their handyman and though she didn't pay her sister to clean it, she paid her sister to organize, run the staff, etc.

It seems our lives parallel each other, lol. So who is this girl, a friend of yours and you were invited to her sister's house for a big party/crawfish boil?

I know you had a wonderful time and where they put your room, next to the pool table was perfect!!! The sound of all those balls hitting each other was probably camoflauge for other noises,

Seriously am so glad you had a great time!!! I don't blame you for wanting to go back again next year!!!

 

[Goofyluver]

Hi Cheri! Subbing on darlin'!

 

[cherbear]

well, at least Mike let you have the camera. Maybe that's a sign of hope for your WDW trip.

That camera bag practically never left my shoulder! BTW It's a new one I bought "Mike" for Christmas. The one we had last year was kinda bulky, but then again it was nice to put the pressed pennies in. Now I don't know which one we'll use this year...

I was the designated photographer for the crawfish boil. I told Laurie I would get lots of pics for her and I had my cord so she copied them to her computer afterwards.

cool! Can't wait to see it

That stinks that you didn't get to watch the WDW vacation video That would have been such a cool way to watch it. Hopefully you at least got to talk disney

Hopefully will be posted by tonight!

Yeah...maybe next time. Nope no Disney talk either.

wow!

That is awesome!! Your notes will look great in there

okay then, I should get it!

oh that just made that story even funnier!

I am making myself want pancakesnow too.

Actually what happened was, I was gonna eat some pancakes that were ready, and Jerry told me not to eat the "cold" ones. I told them they are not cold and started to eat them. Then he quickly made more, pulled the "cold" ones away, stuck some fresh made hot ones in front of me, and gave the other ones to Puff.

I knew you'd like the shoes

thanks! I rather like that picture, too.

thanks again! I love that color, too. Close up it's so pretty--it has a swirl pattern in it.

WOW...Cheri!!!

I must have missed it, but whose house is that?

It's Laurie & Jerry's house. My mom grew up with Linda and Laurie, twin sisters. Mom was closer with Linda, who is her best friend. They moved to Florida a few years ago (Laurie first, then Linda followed moving down the street from Laurie) The funny thing is--Linda's husband is named Tom. (Tom and Jerry)

thanks on the bacon pic & the clothes

Great first day Cheri!!! I love it. Now you know it's really real when you start your itinerary!!!

thanks! Yup...well I have had the spreadsheet for the longest time and I had to put it into written form

wow..very nice! Fun to feel like royalty huh?

Yes, see above description to Sharky.

nahhh

Hi Cheri! Subbing on darlin'!

So glad you're here Jen!!!!

 

[mickcw1109]

Hi, going to pop around the same time as you, seems like there are a lot of people staying there around that time. First time at free dining for us so it should be interesting

so are you talking about the camera bag or the camera? A new camera is awesome! don't you still have that mickey back pack you had for last year's trip? Maybe you can put your pressed pennies in there.

That's cool that you were the designated photographer for the crawfish boil. That's what I did at my friend's house in Florida when I was there helping her with her new baby. Made sure to take lots of pictures of her and the baby because she's usually the one behind the camera and then I downloaded them all onto her computer before I left. Digital cameras make life so easy!

Cool!

That sucks! Hopefully they are excited for the trip non-the-less

Yes, you should.



awww what a nice guy!! I'm sure Puff didn't mind eating "cold" pancakes

of course

oh yes, I saw the swirlies.

 

[cherbear]

I meant the camera BAG. We utilized the Mickey backpack for certain things, and the camera bag for certain things--it turned out to be very convenient when we needed to grab something quick (like the shiny unpressed pennies, when we saw a machine)

Ah okay. Well, i don't know then.
