The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 31

[my3princes]

I'm so sorry! Hope they can do something for you!

You have given me an idea though....I had Lizzy's photo taken for Leave a Legacy for her 7th birthday and had hoped to do the same for Joe & Emma but they stopped doing it. Maybe I'll do one of those crystals instead. Do they do them in Epcot?

They do them in the Kodak part in the exit of Journey Into Imagination. I know that I saw other locations on WDW property, but I can't remember where now.

I tried to find a phone number to call, but can't seem to locate one in the short amounts of computer time I've had today. I am making progress on my house and laundry though

Dorinda took Lizzy to the pool while I went to the gift shop to purchase cough medicine and I took about a 15 minute nap. Got Lizzy showered and we headed to MGM to for Fantasmic. We had our photo taken. The photographer was great and took a great shot of us all holding Lizzy horizontal. Lizzy loved it! I don’t think we did anything at MGM other maybe a bit of browsing in the shops and purchased some popcorn before heading to the theater. I was wearing a light weight t-shirt type hoodie. This was the only night that I was cold. Everyone else was fine-Lizzy had a long sleeve T and didn't put on her sweatshirt til we were walking to the bus so maybe I was cold because I was sick. We got a seat in one of the top rows and this was great as we had a great view and yet at the end of the show we were able to beat most of the crowd out. We were among the first group at the bus stop so we got back to Pop relatively early. I slept better with the cough medicine but not great.

Couldn’t help but think of you Elizabeth!

I love Pop at night:

So would I.

Wow, I would love to be at the park with no one else around!

Bernadette - That chef has been on the Travel Channel! Lizzy met a celebrity!

We got 2 strange voice mails today. Both from Regents Bank. One was about 10:30 AM saying our account has been suspended due to fraud and we need to call. The second one was the same thing, 2 hours later, but with a toll free number instead of a long distance one. Both were just computer recordings, not live people. And the recording never says our name. We don't HAVE any accounts with Regents Bank. DH thinks they want us to call back and give them our SS# so they can use it for fraud. I'm not calling back. In the past when we have gotten legitimate calls about our accounts it has been a real person calling.

and the Mayor too-2 in one day. The chef and his female assistant were really wonderful. I must admit that I didn't get too close to Ralph when he approached him with his plastic fork. I waited til the conversation got friendly.

Will you call the police?

They do them in the Kodak part in the exit of Journey Into Imagination. I know that I saw other locations on WDW property, but I can't remember where now.

Thanks! I knew I had seen them somewhere multiple times I just couldn't remeber exactly where. Now that you say it I'm say "duh" to myself.

Bernadette, nice pictures.

DO NOT CALL THEM! I know you won't, but just thought I would put that out there

I had some errands to run & one of them was looking at luggage. My large piece from Disney Shopping had one of the wheels broken off on this last trip It happened somewhere from my airport to MCO. I did not notice till I was packing to leave Pop Century. So now I need new luggage & so far I have not found any that does not cost a arm & a leg

I did find some Disney candy canes at Target! I will take these & put them on our tree

I have an email for 20% off bagsbuy.com. Would you like me to forward it to you? mousesavers usually has a link for a discount at ebags.com

Have you considered wheeled duffles? They might be relatively inexpensive and yet hold a lot and because they aren't too heavy to start you don't have to worry too much about them being too heavy for the plane.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I got back from the u/s and went to our Blue Ash office, and as I walked in I found out we were in the midst of an unannounced state survey. Sweet. I already was going to wait until I got back to my office to post because it's a bit less out in the open, but I got stuck there muhc longer than I ever anticipated. Now I'm here, and can finally post!

It's all good news. We saw two beautiful blobs, both with nice flickering heartbeats! My RE was slow to congratulation and quick to remind me of the "vanishing twin syndrome" that is still a possibility. (Research shows that very likely, 1 in 8 or 1 in 10 pregnancies starts out as multiples, but before a normal pregnancy gets to u/s, the "extra" baby doesn't make it but is reabsorbed (as bad as that sounds) before anyone can tell the difference.

That being said, there is also a lot of data that says once a heartbeat is detected, the m/c rate drops quite a bit, so here's hoping I'm really going to have two babies!


Especially with this busy day at work, it's all very surreal and I have had about zero emotion about it. I feel less nervous, and that's about it. I'm sure it will hit me at some point!

Sorry to make you wait!

Janet-I also noticed that BJ's had some inexpensive sets of luggage too. I bought some a year or so ago but decided the big bag was just too big-too easy to go over the weight limit on that one.

 

[my3princes]

Oh, yeah, and I gotta get in a little ! We get to go to Branson this weekend. Mom was able to get a free weekend at the condo. It's not Disney, but at least I get lights, decorations, shows and lots of Christmas!

Sounds like fun!!!

Amy your weekend sounds busy followed by tons of fun!! Matty is too cute.

We really didn't take a lot of pictures this trip, but here are a few of Epcot Wednesday afternoon,

I was wondering where all the people were, they did show up later for Illuminations.

Your picutures are totally opposite of the last ones we took at Epcot during F&W. It was wall to wall people.

I had some errands to run & one of them was looking at luggage. My large piece from Disney Shopping had one of the wheels broken off on this last trip It happened somewhere from my airport to MCO. I did not notice till I was packing to leave Pop Century. So now I need new luggage & so far I have not found any that does not cost a arm & a leg

I did find some Disney candy canes at Target! I will take these & put them on our tree

I recently bought a set off Disney Shopping for under $33 with free shipping. I love the new set. My SIL just ordered 2 sets, but I think she paid about $45 per set also free shipping though.

Here are some shots taken Thursday morning,

And this one was taken a little after noon,

By Friday the crowds were building for the weekend already.

Wow, no crowds. What an amazing trip it must have been.

Bernadette you took a picture of the trees that Chris wants to plant in our yard...the metal palm trees

I did look at some luggage at Big Lot's. They have a 31" piece for $40, is that a good price? It looked pretty good, here is a picture:

They had one left in black & one left in a plum color, I don't remember the brand name. I keep wondering if I should go back & get the black one before it is gone

I love those things! I actually took lots of pictures of them but only posted one. I took some more on Tuesday-so I'll post at least one more then.


That's all the photos I have posted for now. Maybe I can some more tonight.

Jen - that is AMAZING news! I am soooo happy for you and Kyle and am practically doing cartwheels around my living room

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

DO NOT CALL THEM! I know you won't, but just thought I would put that out there

Nope. Not calling them.
I Googled the bank and called them. I told them I do NOT have an account with them but I got these 2 weird messages. The lady said I am the second person to call them and report it. She said they are going to get their security department on it. Good enough for me.

Jennifer - CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope nobody vanishes!!

That is the best news that I've heard in a long time Congratulations, Congrtaulations!!! No wonder you haven't felt like doing much lately. You've got 2 good reasons to just take it easy.

That vanishing twin theory is very interesting to me. When I miscarried they did an in room ultra sound and the residents said that I had miscarried twins. I had a follow up ultrasound 4 days later in the regular ultrasound room and the techinician only saw one. I have always wondered which was true, but perhaps one was absorbed by my body in that 4 day period Thanks for the insight.

That is where I bought my last set. I am hoping to get something where the wheels are a little more concealed so they don't break off again.

I recently bought a set off Disney Shopping for under $33 with free shipping. I love the new set. My SIL just ordered 2 sets, but I think she paid about $45 per set also free shipping though.

I personally would NOT go that big. I would not go any bigger than 25". I have a 25" bag that I don't really use anymore because it is too easy to go over the 50 pound limit and I think some airlines have a 40 pound limit.

That is very inexpensive. I would worry about the quality-I would check out the zippers before you buy it. I would also reconsider getting black. If you get black you'll have a harder time seeing your luggage at baggage claim.

Do you have Marshalls or TJ Max in your area? They tend to have good quality luggage for a reasonable price. They also tend to have the "strange" but easy to recognize colors. My friend bought a piece that we call the "Tigger" bag. No missing that one on the baggage belt.

Another thought is Kohl's. Do you have one of those near you? I think I saw they were having some Black Friday luggage specials-was it on Clare's list?

Off to send you the email....
