The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 31

[mommykds]

So, here are our tentative plans for our tentative trip in May. Anything I seem to be missing/messing up?

Tues 5/13 - Arrive, maybe DTD - dinner 'Ohana
Wed 5/14 - MK, Epcot, Illuminations - dinner Garden Grill
Thurs 5/15 (my birthday) - Epcot, Studios, Fantasmic - dinner Sci Fi
Fri 5/16 - MK, P&PP (assuming it happens) - dinner Chef Mickey'sSat 5/17 - sleep in, Epcot, Illuminations - dinner Whispering Canyon
Sun 5/18 - AK, possibly mini-golf or DTD - breakfast Tusker House
Mon 5/19 (our anniversary) - Epcot, MK, Spectro, Wishes - lunch/dinner undecided, I have it down to LeCellier, Coral Reef or Rose&Crown
Tues 5/20 - Studios, Fantasmic - breakfast/lunch Hollywood & Vine
Wed 5/21 - MK, depart - maybe breakfast Crystal Palace

We may not do the nighttime shows/fireworks twice, but then we often do as well. Breaks will probably be worked in most days.

This is the one that stands out for me..I would eat in the park if there is a P&PP. You can get in as early as 4pm. I love Chef Mickeys but I'd rather be in the park when the party starts. JMHO.

Hi Everyone,
We're Home!!!!

Meeting Bernadette was great, it was just like running into an old friend, and Lizzie is adorable.

I'm sure you've all already seen pictures, but the Dream lights on the castle are simply breathtaking,

Thanks for the postcard Paula, guess I'll have to read for a few days to catch up, hope everyone is well.

Sounds like you all had a great day! that Nicholas feels better soon. Riley has been fighting a head cold all week. He wakes up all stuffed up, A nice hot shower has been helping break it up for him along with a good rub down with Vicks before going to bed.

myBob and his dd just left. We had a fun day bowling and playing in the arcade. Then we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. That's her favorite place. They brought her out an ice cream sundae and had the whole restaurant sing happy bday to her. She turned beet red. Then we came back to my house and opened presents. The kids and I got her the Hannah Montana Dance Along, and boy was that fun. The 4 of us were "rocking out the show" while myBob was a couch potato. I have some pictures that I will upload later. Then we had cake and ice cream and they left. I just got my kids into bed. Nicholas has come down with a head cold. He was up at 2AM this morning complaining that he couldn't breath. I gave him some decongestant, but it didn't last long. He was up again at 6:45, so he is one tired puppy. I hope he kicks it quick and that Alyssa and I don't get it.

Congrats on the car jennifer..nice consolation prize for not decorating

what kind of car did you get

Yes, Inquiring minds want to know

This is the one that stands out for me..I would eat in the park if there is a P&PP. You can get in as early as 4pm. I love Chef Mickeys but I'd rather be in the park when the party starts. JMHO.

I agree. Make a 4 PM or later ADR at LTT or the Crystal Palace and get a jump start on the party. You will be much happier in the long run.

I so wish the Tag Fairy would visit us sometimes

Only Starbucks for me...I like my coffee like my man....strong, dark, & bitter.

Sounds like a fun day for everyone! Our Cracker Barrel is just gross, but my sister LOVES to go there.
I hope Nicholas feels better soon, and that the rest of you stay healthy!

As a reward for doing so well in school so far we took the kids to a surprise visit to Chuck E Cheese today. When we pulled up & realized where we were going they went nuts! We haven't been there in over a year so the kids were very happy. Sophie hit some bonus thing & won 216 tickets.

When we got home the kids played & I started reading the cruise book Lindsay sent me (thanks again Lindsay!!!!) & it is very helpful. I no nothing of cruising & I needed to sit my butt down & start reading. I am getting more & more excited. We decided to stay at the Port when we arrive fri eve & spend Saturday at the space center. Dana is into all that learning stuff so it should make him happy! I just want to see Mickey.

Only Starbucks for me...I like my coffee like my man....strong, dark, & bitter.

DS loves Chuck E. Cheese. Maybe that's where we will take Princess on Monday.
I have decided we will never go on a cruise because it is too complicated. I've got the land thing figured out, why mess with a good thing?
Oh, my! Your coffee comment made me laugh! I like Starbucks Breakfast Blend best, but I can see how I would probably prefer Dunkin' over other varieties of Starbucks. And ANYTHING is better than the Godiva coffee I bought last year! It came in a box of 6 packets and we have only used 1. It was so bad we're afraid to try another one.

Congratulations on the new car Jennifer!

WHAT kind of car is it?

I've been putting the Vicks on Nicholas too. So far it's stayed in his nose. I hope it doesn't travel to his chest.

I need to get Emma packed for a roadtrip. She is headed to upstate New York with Eric's dad. Eric's sister and her crew are visiting his family. Eric's dad is going up there to see the baby and asked if Emma wanted to come along. She is very excited to see her cousin Alex and meet his new sister. It's been a year and half since she has seen Alex.

Where in upstate NY?

 

[my3princes]

Ok I need info on the BBB. I think that I'm going to buy my niece a princess costume and set up an appointment for her at the BBB. How many days out can I book. It would be nice if they would actually make their hotel reservations so that I have more specific time frames, but I'll work with what I've got. We checked out all the costumes and she is a huge Aurora fan, that being said she fell in love with the deluxe Cinderella costume so I'll probably get that one. I need to find cute comfy shoes though as the costume ones do not look comfy at all. Maybe blue mary janes

Not too much here. Rachel and a friend are babysitting at Kristi's. Terra had asked for pizza, but I don't have the ingredients so maybe we'll be ordering tonight. Plus, Dad's going to be asking where dinner is pretty soon. I'm tired, though, from the craft fair today so I'm not up for too much. I think that Phil is going to see a friend from work perform at some coffee house.

Oh yeah, and I'm finalizing our possible May plans as our 180 days started a few days ago and I also now have the rest of my TGM best days.

Pizza sounds yummy, too bad we already ate dinner! Have fun planning!

Yay for Rees going home!!

Janet - We've never been to GF Cafe, so I don't have any insight there. The Tusker breakfast looks like it will be similar to Boma.

Robyn - I hope Emma has fun! It was nice of Eric's dad to invite her along. We usually buy the big bag of Starbucks Breakfast Blend at Sam's, but if they are out we usually buy a smaller bag at the grocery store or at an actual Starbucks. The Dunkin' coffee is a much more affordable alternative!

I am getting progressively more congested. I told DH my head feels like it is full of wet concrete. Other than going to the grocery I didn't accomplish anything today. Brother & Sister have their birthday party tomorrow. We will stop in for awhile but I don't think I will be able to handle the whole 2 hours.

I love DD's coffee. Eric prefers Starbucks or the German coffee we get from Aldi's.

Emma is thrilled and scared at the same time. She always gets a little weepy before she goes away. I think it will be harder on me, I miss her terribly when she is gone.

Feel better soon. I can't kick this stupid cough thing, it's driving me nuts!

I hope you all are doing well! Sorry to pop in and out, but this weekend is so busy! We had people over today for the big game (Hooray Bucks! ) and then when they left, I was supposed to decorate for Christmas. Well, instead we bought a car. I'm not sure when I'll get to decorate though, and it's completely throwing me in a panic. Mostly just for stupid reasons to pout.... "I NEVER decorate "so late" (close to Thanksgiving". Oh, well. A car is a nice consolation price I suppose and it's a beauty!

Tomorrow, I'm singing at this big combined church service in the area, and then rushing from there to the Bengals game with Kyle. My poor husband, he's doing all of these things on about 2 hours of sleep at a time.

Maybe I'll decorate tomorrow evening....... We'll see.

Have a great Sunday!

Sounds like a busy but fun weekend. What kind of car? Details, we need details!

myBob and his dd just left. We had a fun day bowling and playing in the arcade. Then we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. That's her favorite place.

Hope Nicholas feels better. that you and Alyssa escape it. Sounds like a fun day!

Beautiful picture, Debbie. Welcome home! Did you all have a great time?

 

[Blueeyes101817]

We definiltey have some good comments made here!

Hi Debbie! The castle picture is beautiful

i agree--i love it!


I have been trying to reach my parents for the past 3 hours and havent been able to get them..finally got dad and they are at the hospital with grandpa..i have no idea whats going on as he had to go...i was going to head down there (about an hour) but he doesnt want me driving at night...so now i wait

 

[bethbuchall]

im sorry to hear about your cousin's mother..thats so sad

He said he doesnt want to do thanksgiving dinner this year...he cant sit up or stay awake to enjoy any of it.
Its a good idea bout asking any questions i have--but he is in no shape to talk at all ,let alone answer questions....i just keep hoping this is a bad dream

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Putnam Station? All I really know is it is near Lake Champlain (sp?)

Where in upstate NY?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Welcome home, Debbie!

Jen - Oh, no! I hope you get some good news soon!

I think it's 90 days but I'm not certain. I would book an appt. first thing in the AM so that you don't get stuck waiting long. Plus, she would then get to be all dolled up all day long. If she has summery white casual sandals she could wear those. I don't worry about the shoes too much.
