The could we?? should we?? PTR **12/9 **Home from WDW**

[oregonmommyof2]

In November they sent me an email code, and I also got a PP card with my documents, that had some type of discount. I just wish they would have kept the darn discount link they used to have .

I know!! The link was so convenient... I am really starting to scare myself with this budget of mine... This trip is costing every bit of what the last one did and we have half the people!!!

When a discount comes out that will help but I am budgeting for the worst and hoping for the best!!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Okay... We all know I am have planning OCD....

Does it get warm enough to swim in December???

Will we need sunscreen??

Can I fit all of our junk into our carry on suitcases???

If not, can I fit it all in to our carry-ons plus one checked suitcase???

Should I just hire a U haul to take everything we own to Pop just in case we realize we need that electric griddle or Terry's roller blades???

Will we be disappointed in the MVMCP??

Will I get over this nagging feeling that I am a really bad mother for not taking my kids??

Will we convince Porturican's sister that she needs an adult trip also??

Is it too soon to do a test run on packing??

Should I buy us new clothes for the trip??

This is what does on in my brain every 3.7 minutes... Do they make Disney strait jackets???

This post cracks me up because that is exactly the way I feel! Crazy random stuff like that is always running through my head.

This post cracks me up because that is exactly the way I feel! Crazy random stuff like that is always running through my head.

In the past, Terry has threatened to pad our bedroom and lock me in it...

Sometimes I wake him up and ask him something totally random that really could have waited... He just looks at me and rolls over... I am always afraid I will forget... So then I write everything down and bombard him when he gets home with a list of randomness...

Does it get warm enough to swim in December???

I have heard about people swimming in December.

Will we need sunscreen??

Always use sunscreen in Florida my fair skinned friend .

Can I fit all of our junk into our carry on suitcases???

With all of Terry's camera stuff I think you will need more than a carry on.

If not, can I fit it all in to our carry-ons plus one checked suitcase???

Possibly.

Should I just hire a U haul to take everything we own to Pop just in case we realize we need that electric griddle or Terry's roller blades???

NO!

Will we be disappointed in the MVMCP??

In my opinion no, Bill and I love it. Wait until you see the parade and Holiday Wishes . Let the magic in my dear and you will enjoy (just forget about how much the tickets were). Bill and I focus on the party stuff and take as much of that in because we can do the rides any time. I am totally in LOVE with the lights on the castle.

Will I get over this nagging feeling that I am a really bad mother for not taking my kids??

I think you will. You are NEVER going to be a bad mom so get that out of your head now. You only turn 30 once and you always wanted to be at WDW around Christmas. You and Terry deserve this time alone, well alone and with all the other WDW freaks and oh a guy in a wheelchair and a pooh sized woman following you around .

Will we convince Porturican's sister that she needs an adult trip also??

She needs to do it 'nuff said! I think you can convince anyone of anything.

Is it too soon to do a test run on packing??

A little too soon, do it the weekend after your ADR's are booked .

Should I buy us new clothes for the trip??

Do you need new clothes? Do you want new clothes?

This is what does on in my brain every 3.7 minutes... Do they make Disney strait jackets???

I don't know if they do, if they don't I have many, many stickers so we can decorate matching ones ok?

Okay, I have decided if we are ever in WDW together for MNSSHP that we will go in matching Disney strait jackets...

And I put the weekend after my ADR's as Test Run #1... I will let you know how it goes...

I think it is so cool that we have found out how much the 4 of us have in common... Everytime I have a Wendy's baked potato I will think of Bill...

Oh Winkers...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

My parents checked into the Grand Californian today for 2 nights...

When they got to their room, they had been upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite overlooking California Adventure...

They were so excited... They have had a little bit of a bumpy time with the last set of family they stopped to see, so I am very glad they are getting their trip back on track...

They called me from It's a Small World... Daddy LOVES that ride... We call him every time we ride it and just let him listen...

Then he sent me a pic of the Dooney purses... Asked me which one I would like better, the barrel purse or the tassel purse... He could be totally doing it to mess with me, he has that awesome sense of humor... But my Mom may have given him that look, the one that says I am still his princess...

I am hoping they have a great time and we can talk them into going to Disney World with us for a family trip in 2012 or 2013... Our last family trip was like something out of a Winkers TR...

Do your parents want a roommate? I can be packed and over there in 10 minutes...

 

[mrsksomeday]

I love that your parents got an upgrade!!! That is wonderful. I also love that you call your Dad so he can listen on It's a Small World". So do you think you will get the purse ?

I can hear the phone call to them now...

Hey, I'm sending over a hot, sweaty Asian... Happy Anniversary...


The just got back to their room and cast members had been up there and did a turn down service, put rose petals all over the bed, filled the room with flowers and balloons and left a tray of treats...

My parents are on

Disney does it right.

My Dad called me earlier and had me listen... It was cute for the rolls to be reversed...

I think the purse is a good possibility... They do enjoy spoiling us kids from time to time, and I have been taking care of their 3 dogs the whole time they have been gone so I can totally see them making a purse my thank you gift and just because Daddy loves you gift...

They bought the kids gifts today, my Dad called me as he was sitting outside in MK eating ice cream while my Mom shopped... He said even in Disneyland she can't stay out of a gift shop...

I now know where i get that gene from!!!

Which chonies would you wear over there???

I am thinking the naughty ones would fit right in...

The cast members also left a towel cake... mom said she wanted to bring it home so bad... I told her she probably could! Just to call and ask, so she did and they said it was their gift to them and to please take it home... So that just made her night even more...

[mrsksomeday]

That is awesome that the CM's did that for your parents, what a great surprise! I hope you get a purse, I am NOT a purse person at all, but those are really cute.

Wouldn't you be surprised if my Dad piped off with a "How you doin'????"

speechless...and people wonder why we love Disney![/QUOTE]

That is what I said... They took us to Disneyland a few times as kids but I don't they ever really slowed down to take it all in... And we always stayed off site, went during July when we had to stand in line for hours to ride the Matterhorn...

I am hoping they get a nice big bite from the Disney bug and want to return to WDW with us in a few years... The kids love spending time with Grammy and Papa....
