The financially irresponsible WDW trip! [June 25th: p.45, posts 668 & 669]

(no TR of course unless you're willing to stick around 'til 2012 to hear it all. :lmao: ) :)

2012 works for me - I don't have any plans. :rotfl2:

Oh Deb it is so good to have you back! :goodvibes I really missed YOU! As did tons of other folks based on the replies you've received. :thumbsup2

I did get your reply to my pm and I'm so thrilled for you that you are going to Disneyland Paris.

Thanks for checking in to let us know all is well with you and yours. Hope to hear from you again - soonish!:yay:
 
Deb - Your writing is so good that it is worth waiting for. I am so looking forward to the rest of this report, and please don't write off the idea of a DLP trip report yet! :goodvibes
 
Clearly we are just devoted readers willing to wait out the hustle and bustle of real life. :goodvibes

DLP:cloud9: That will be wonderful. I hope you and your family have a fantastic time. Be sure to post pictures as I bet Alice is such a big girl now.

Hope all is well.:goodvibes
 
Deb

Welcome back!

The choice is yours.....start the new one before you finish this one and we will follow:worship:

Finish this one before you start the new one and we will have many ???s answered:)

Either way we are happy because we get to read more of your wonderful prose and we can have some :lmao: and lots of :goodvibes again.

We are happy as long as you here!!!!!!

Kate
 

So good to hear you're around! :cool1:

Please try to write/post your 2006(!) trip report :lovestruc

And not to be too demanding, but we'll need a more recent pic of "Alice," too. You know how they change so much at that age....

I guess it's time to put this old thread to rest. I'm gonna miss it.

Deleting my subscription...:sad1:
 
Deb,
Thank you for such a great trip report! My fiance and I are going to spend our honeymoon at WDW for 15 days at the end of September. :love: It will be my fifth trip and her first. I'm have more than a little OCD in myself also and I want her to see as much as possible while still finding the MAGIC. Your report has inspired me to do the best that I can! Your sense of humor is great, as in your honesty about yourself. I know that during our trip, when I'm getting stressed, I'll think back to you and be able to put things in a better perspective knowing that I'm normal. Does that make sense?
She has a son who is two from a previous marriage that I'm dreaming of taking to WDW when he is about six. By the way, she is mostly IRISH and is also missing the shopping and shoe genes from her DNA. Funny thing is that for a male I did get them! Must be my three sisters. Anyway, I can tell that if we ever met you and your family we would get along famously. Hope your trip at DLP is/has been a good time. Maybe one day we will visit Ireland...:thumbsup2
P. S. You have convinced me to get tickets to MNSSHP. I think my future wife will wear her wedding gown:bride: and I a ball and chain...:goodvibes just kidding!
 
Happy St Patrick's Day Deb :shamrock:
Do you guys drink green beer & eat corned beef & cabbage?????
Did you have fun in Disneyland Paris?????????

Hi Deb, Did you post a picture on allears of your daughter? If so, congrats on it being the "Photo of the Week"!:thumbsup2
 
Deb it wasn't me this time ;) :rotfl:

Oh BTW popcorn::

:lmao: :rotfl2:

YES!! I was so thrilled that my pic was chosen. I was browsing the previous week's Allears newsletter and thought it would be cool to have a pic chosen for 'photo of the week'. Really it was because so many people commented in my TR about how nice that particular photo was - that's what made me choose it! I'm chuffed! :woohoo: It's here if anyone wants to see it (it's gonna be up for just one more day I think!)


As for the sorry state of this TR what can I say! The desire to finish it is always there and I will. I've just been ridiculously slow about it. :rolleyes:

I know many of these posts I'm replying to are from eons ago but I'll give it a blast anyway.... the last thing I want to do is gratuitously bump this bad boy but here goes.....

Disneyland Paris? Yeah!! Hope you have a magical time!
I'll be reading no matter how long you take!!

Thanks Lynn. How are you?! It's been ages. We did have a magical time in Disneyland Paris. It was excellent!

Poor little 'Alice' though got very sick over there (chest infection / asthma all triggered by a virus). We had a doctor out to the hotel and basically we just took turns staying with her for the last 3 days. Would have come home early only it would have been hell for her to travel. She ended up in hospital the following week. She's fully recovered now though.

But the first few days were brilliant. The weather was actually amazing as in no rain all that week. But the cold, dear God the cold. :cold: I would've cried except the tears turned to icicles too fast! I'd highly recommend Disneyland Paris though!

so excited to hear Disney is in your not so distant future. I just planned a "last minute/value season/good airfare have to grab it" trip that morphed from a long weekend into 7 days(thank you honey!)
Don't worry about finishing your TR, we will still be here when you get back:surfweb:

Thanks PK! So how did the trip go? Where did you stay?

I'm so thrilled for you that you are going to Disneyland Paris.

Thanks Susie. So glad you're still here (or at least you were all those years ago when your reply was written :lmao: ). Hope life is good with you!! It's been too long!

Deb - Your writing is so good that it is worth waiting for.

THIS long? :blush: You're too kind Kath. Honestly. :)

Happy St Patrick's Day Deb :shamrock:
Do you guys drink green beer & eat corned beef & cabbage???

We don't drink green beer, even on St Patrick's Day, lol! But people regularly eat corned beef and cabbage here. Mostly the older generation. We had it at least once a week growing up. I hate the smell of it. :scared: I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years. I wonder why! :rolleyes: lol!


Yeah Jo, whatever! :lmao:

Hi Deb! Remember me?? How was your trip to Paris?

Kathy! How are you doing? See above about trip to Paris. Great place if you ever get the chance to go. Hope you and yours are all well!!

Deb,
Thank you for such a great trip report! My fiance and I are going to spend our honeymoon at WDW for 15 days at the end of September.

How wonderful. :hug:

It will be my fifth trip and her first.

I'm not sure I understand. You're marrying her before you know if she likes Disney??? :lmao: j/k

I'm have more than a little OCD in myself also and I want her to see as much as possible while still finding the MAGIC. Your report has inspired me to do the best that I can!

Aw, thanks a million!

I know that during our trip, when I'm getting stressed, I'll think back to you and be able to put things in a better perspective knowing that I'm normal. Does that make sense?

So basically you're saying "at least I'm not a total loony like Deb." Is that it? :rotfl:

Maybe one day we will visit Ireland...

I hope you do. You could take the short 2 hour flight to Paris to check out DLRP too as you're on this side of the ocean.

I guess it's time to put this old thread to rest. I'm gonna miss it.

I know. I can't blame you. Sorry it's so slow but thanks a million for reading along.

And not to be too demanding, but we'll need a more recent pic of "Alice," too. You know how they change so much at that age....

Hey Sue! Not sure if you're still around here. I know you don't come on the boards too often. Hope you're well though. Here's a fairly recent photo of her. :goodvibes

The choice is yours.....start the new one before you finish this one and we will follow.

Clearly I went for Option 3 Kate i.e. don't bother with either one. :lmao:

What a cutie! I bet she's gotten big.
Hope all is well

Thanks Shark, she has gotten big. She was 4 recently. Always on the go and honestly, she could talk for Ireland. :lmao: How are your boys? Can't wait to catch up with you!

I logged on today to get the latest on the Free Dining for disney visa holders, and there you were! I'm so excited to know things are ok. I'd been tempted to e-mail you to check on you, but hoped that if you weren't here it was just because you were busy.

Your daughter is still absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the updated pic. And how wonderful to get picked for the photo of the week!

Please stay around for awhile.

Sue :goodvibes
 
Hi Deb...I recognized "Alice" in the Allears photo as well, and I suspected looking at photos of your last trip would get you thinking about this little 'ol trip report!! Love the updates on life and family...what an adorable little lady you have there.:wizard:

Thanks for asking about our last minute jaunt to WDW: we ended doing a split stay between Beach Club and BC villas since I could get all but the first night in the villas. Was a wonderful stay, although I wish I had checked here first and noticed part of the vacation fell during Mardi Gras...the parks went from barely any lines to CRAZY in 2 days(since I picked the dates, I can only say, "Duh!"):rolleyes1

Anyway, it was a great relief from windchills of 20-30 below zero that our area experienced in the days before we left...now I can't wait to plan another trip to our happy place(this time well more than 30 days in advance)!!

Hope to hear more from you soon.

PS You will be pleased to hear that BWV is still alive and kicking...although the BC side of the lake was beautiful, my family missed the feeling of the BW side(we stayed there last year) so requests have been made to return there again:goodvibes

So any news on that? Are you hoping to go back if/when they give free dining?! I wish I could! :mad: :thumbsup2

I'm so excited to know things are ok. I'd been tempted to e-mail you to check on you, but hoped that if you weren't here it was just because you were busy.

Yep, just the usual day to day stuff - of course I'm getting very little important stuff done - it seems I get caught up in the banal parts of life - but still can't get a minute to do stuff I like. :confused3

Please stay around for awhile.

Thanks Sue, I will. :hug:

That's so cool!!

Aw thanks! :)

Wow!! It sounds amazing. How did you find the contrast between the hotel and the villas?

Anyway, it was a great relief from windchills of 20-30 below zero that our area experienced in the days before we left...

The weather here has been awful. It's like 6 to 7 months of winter now. It was sunny with blue skies yesterday and then it snowed this morning. :rolleyes:

You will be pleased to hear that BWV is still alive and kicking...although the BC side of the lake was beautiful, my family missed the feeling of the BW side

It's hard to beat.

Great 'talking' to you PK! :thumbsup2
 
Oh Deb! It did my heart good to find you're back. :cool1: You've got me doing the 'Happy Dance"! :rotfl2:
I'm so sad that I missed out on seeing the photo of Alice. :sad2:
Congrats on being chosen for the photo of the week. :thumbsup2
I did enjoy seeing the latest photo of your adorable daughter that you posted. So sorry to hear that she was so ill - delighted that she's all better.

Take care and Welcome Back! I've missed you. :hug:
