Ugh I had a reply with quotes all type out and then it just disappeared.

I love: your pictures. They are breathtakingly beautiful. We just upgraded to a savannah view room at AKL so I won't see you guys at POP but I will keep an eye out for you at the parks. Also that little bit about what your mind is thinking. I am like that too. My dh doesn't get it. He doesn't understand why I need to be planning all ready. I told him he will when we get there and he realizes that all my planning and hours on the Dis were worth it.

 

[DevonsDisneyMom]

Reese, you kill me...

I am eyeballing some shirts on the Disney Store website... They are on sale for 8 bucks!! Terry is trying to get me to wait...

8 bucks!!! You can't beat that! I'm already trying to figure out mine and Devon's outfits for each day of the trip! I keep telling myself... The trip is 8 fricking months away relax!!! You are so going to have bought new clothes for the both of you by then!!!

Oh and Terry.... The pictures are simply amazing! What an awesome hobby to have picked up!!!

Awesome on the upgrade!! How exciting! I am sure your DH will appreciate all your planning when you get there... I know Terry did... Then he got involved for the next trip...

I have 72.26 on my Disney Rewards card... I could use that to order the shirts...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

I am so excited!!!

Today we hit the 75 day mark until we can make our ADR's!!!

 

[DevonsDisneyMom]

Woo Hoo for the 75 day mark for ADR's!!! I'm at 80!!!

I got to be honest thou, I'll be even more excited when I'm at the 80 day mark for the TRIP!!!

 

[mrsksomeday]

I forgot to tell you that if you were serious about the photo, I will get a print of it if you want, and I can send it to you if you PM your address... What size you want, 5X7? 8X10? I will work on a few of the Epcot ball photos i have and let you pick your favorite...

You are so sweet, I wasn't hinting around about getting one .

Me too sister, me too... But that is still so far off that the 75 days for ADR's makes it seem closer to me for some reason!!

How's the little man feeling???

You are so sweeti, I wasn't hinting around about getting one .







I love how you have such a great outlook on things!!

He was totally serious... It would cost less than a dollar to have one printed... He could also just email you the image... I think...

And by loving my outlook on things, you really mean you love how much of a dork I am...

 

[mrsksomeday]

You are not a dork!! If you are, then I am one too. I am at 78 days on the ADR's for December and 36 for the October trip.

Oh, I am a total dork... I just embrace it...

36 days for October!!! I wish ours were that close... I am used to September and I feel like I am way behind on things...

 

[Porturican]

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

Does it get warm enough to swim in December??? When my firned was there last Decemebr the weather was ehhhh warm sometimes and Rainy other times

Will we need sunscreen?? Sun Screen Queen are you really asking this question?

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

If not, can I fit it all in to our carry-ons plus one checked suitcase??? Don't you guys have a lot of "Surprises to bring back? SO my thought would be No

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??? You might need the Uhaul to bring back the souvies

Will we be disappointed in the MVMCP?? No previous expierence since I've only been to WDW once

Will I get over this nagging feeling that I am a really bad mother for not taking my kids?? YES just like I will if I go

Will we convince Porturican's sister that she needs an adult trip also?? Keep workin on it Sista! I should give you her BBM Pin to bug her

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

Should I buy us new clothes for the trip?? Maybe a few things but not too much so you can keep your budget low...but $8 shirts are a deal!

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

 

[Porturican]

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...

Uh oH after your parents trip sounds like they are getting so much Disney Magic that theya re going to become like us over Disney

 

[Porturican]

I can hear it already..."Security...SECURITY!!!!!"

HELLER???

 

[Porturican]

Yes, they are doing the parks tomorrow... They were only going to do tomorrow, but they got there at 12:30 today so I talked them into adding a day to their passes so they hit Magic Kingdom this afternoon...

I am hoping that the crowds won't be brutal tomorrow for them... I told them they had to wear their Happy Anniversary buttons tomorrow... My Dad grunted, but he is going to do it...

I hope your Mom got a pic of this!

As some of you know, I am getting into the wonderful hobby of photography... I have a nice camera, and am just trying to learn how to use it... I have posted many of my pictures on my last TR, and gotten good reviews from all of you... I really appreciate the kind words... Lets hope it continues with this post

I started to venture out tonight on the web and found what they call HDR, or High Dynamic Range imagery. It involves using some photoshop programs to increase the vibrancy of the colors and contrast to really bring out the dimensions and shadows... It woon't work in every photograph, but I think it works well for some Disney ones... It almost brings a cartoon look to them depending on how much you tweek them...

I started playing around with my Photoshop programs and looking at some extra features I have never messed with before.. I came out with, in my opinion, some pretty cool looking photos... I wanted to post some here for you all to see and let me know what you think... I just starting using these features tonight so I haven't had much practice, so these are not as good as I can probably get them, but they are a start... I really have no idea even how to use these features, I just played around with the dials... One thing to keep in mind is I took all these with my camera... It is hard for me to realize these are all real photos, just tweaked in my computer... A few look like they are paintings, especially the last photo of the Poly... It is one of my favorites... I told Toni it almost looks like something I would see in a catelog... What do you all think?

BEAUTIFUL

Here is another one I just worked on for a few minutes... Makes the picture I took look like a drawing or maybe the design that they were going from when the Disney Imagineers were designing their plans...

FANTASTIC!!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Adrienne...

I asked Annette about the trip on Facebook... Did you see that??? I will wait until she gets done with the trip she has in April then I will lay it on thick!!!

How many cans of the sunscreen do you think I should bring??? Just the two of us... Maybe 3??

I am still working on Terry about the $8 shirts... El Cheapo is giving me grief on them...

You crack me up, pressuring her on facebook when she gets back. Facebook is fun though .

I don't know about the the cans of sunscreen I can't stay, I don't use the spray kind.

Oh come on Terry, let her use her Disney Visa Rewards PLEASE .
