Dana I love your LGMH! It is different & I will keep an eye out for it

I have a couple & I think I am just going to attach them to my backpack somehow

Thanks. I have got to get the rest done. I was going to do it today but, got totally sidetracked.

 

[racefanof88]

Well now that all the ADR's are made we have to plan the days around the food, right? Well, not exactly. We usually drive down on Friday, but Anthony(Amanda's fiance) doesn't know if he can have that day off or not, so we are just gonna leave at 3am Saturday morning.


Well, as we were now 7-8 weeks out, I asked Amanda if Anthony had his time off all set and could he just possibly get that Friday off. She talks with Anthony and he tells her he has not even requested the time off at all I could not believe my ears We have paid for this trip and he doesn't even know if he has the time off or not . He told Amanda he would ask the next day. This was a Monday. So, if he asked or not is something we will never know because that Wednesday night he and Amanda broke up, yes you read it right BROKE UP She called me at work Thursday morning asking me if I could change the ressies. So now here I am with reservations for 6 people with 2 rooms at the ASMu (we would need 2 for the 5 for us anyway)and ADR's for 6 at all the restaurants.

When I got a minute I called Disney and spoke with the nicest CM. She cancelled his part of the ressie and explained that it was going to cost me $50.00 for the change but I would get back $422.16 . Done, then she reminded me to change my ADR's or they would add the 18% and she set out and changed all the ADR's to 5 guests instead of 6. Boy was I glad we got all that straight.

But, wait now that Anthony is not going maybe we can change our ADR's hmmmmmmmmm.

To Amanda! Glad you were able to get everything switched though.

Amanda said "thanks" for the hug. She is ok with it all Boy am I glad the switching worked out. Now just wish I would have booked at the Pop

I have got to get some new pictures of me taken. I got all my hair cut off yesterday. My hair was past my shoulder blades. Now............it up to my ears............LOL. I wanted a change.

More to come later.

 

[tinknme]

Oh wow, you have done what I keep pondering! I have long hair, but just haven't gotten up the nerve to get it cut short yet.

The lady that cut my hair was shocked. She could not believe I wanted all of my hair cut off................lol. She said I was brave to get it cut so short. My hair grows really fast so it isn't that traumatic to me. I just know it is easier to deal with especially with the Disney trip coming soon.

 

[racefanof88]

Now that we have made the determination that Anthony is not going with us on this trip, we can now leave on Friday, May 2nd around noon. So now I have to start looking for a place to stay that will let Niko stay with us.

.

So off I go to find a nice place to stay that is pet friendly and NOT the "Brick Bed Inn" I refuse to stay there again . So, I find the Buena Vista Suites and used the link on the Disboard to get there. They are pet friendly and so I reserve a room for Friday night May 2nd........... Wow, and a free breakfast too I let them know we will get in late around 11pm so all is set. I will call them again to make sure they know this and again remind them of the Niko.

Now, I have to go and redo the car rental because I had it set to pick up on Friday since we were leaving on Saturday. Again I get to work . I looked at my previous reservation and was going to make a change to it and when I did the price went up by about $75.00 So, I cancelled this one and went in seach of a new one. And, yes, I found it. Dollar rental had a special for a week rental. I start looking and I find a minivan for $209.00 for the week I thought I had typed something in wrong so I tried it again and it was right NOW, I am saving $70.00. The way I look at
it that is a $145.00 turn around compaired to just changing the old ressie.

OK OK I needed a Castle fix Our last trip was too long ago.

 

[tinknme]

Niko is so cute! Yeah on the great car rental

 

[racefanof88]

Niko is so cute! Yeah on the great car rental

Thank you. He struts around the house like he owns it

I was so happy about the car We would just rather rent a car instead of using ours. It saves the milage on our vehicle and if something goes wrong they have to give us another car and we don't have to worry about repairs. This comes from a bad experience we had in 2002 with the car we had at the time breaking down on us on the turnpike. It was a very bad experience to say the least. We traded that car in and get a minivan............lol.

 

[racefanof88]

Picture one of new haircut. If you look closely in the bottom left hand corner of the picture you will see one of the Disney books I checked out at the library yesterday..........lol

Side view

OK enough of my big ole head in the picture. Now, some Disney pictures from prior trips.

I am going to miss the wand. I took this one in 2007 I think, it may have been 2006

He wanted to pretend he was talking on the phone. This picture was taken in 2006

I need one of these in my house.......... (2006)

This one was 2006 because Amanda did not go with us in 2007.

I am such a baby I will not even ride this coaster.........lol(2007)

Your doggie is so cute. I wish Disney would just figure out a nice pet spa for those of us who have seperation anxiety from our dogs.
Enjoying your TR.

 

[tinknme]

Dana I love your haircut!

Great pictures & don't feel bad I have never been on primevil whirl myself. I am not a coaster person. I have been on RnRc & BTMR, but they scare the you know what out of me I doubt I will be getting on them again.

Thanks for joining in. I so wish they would do the doggie spa. That would be the best. I don't know how well Niko is going to handle the seperation. I know Dale is going to have a hard time Last year he only stayed for the day and went back to the hotel with us to sleep. We shall see......

Thank you . It is different and I am really getting used to it being short again. I like it.

I have rode BTMR several times, the first time was in '86 when I went for the first time and I rode it 2 or 3 times that year. Didn't get on it again until like '03 and had to talk myself through the line (example....saying to self "look at that little boy he is going to ride, he can't be more than 5 or 6) and that is no joke.............. There is not enough gold in Fort Knox to make me get on RnRc or Everest. You are one brave woman I must confess.........Goofy's Barnstormer scared me

From another dog lover, I understand the anxiety. We have my 20 year old nephew come stay at the house, but the time away from the fur babies just KILLS me.
I recently redecorated their room...yes, they have their own room
They have their own private door

And custom beds(made by my handy husband )

So, yes, I understand the dog obession.
Can't wait to hear Niko's adventures!

Welcome aboard!!!!!!!! I love your babies room. It is decorated so cute. What are their names? Niko also goes by the name of Red Dog..........lol. He will come if you call him either name. He is so funny.

I am hoping his adventure is a good one for him.
