The "I gotta do something to pass the time"pre-trip report

[faerieprincess]

That is really ironic, i was thinking that too! i'll share my iced capp - you can have the bits that don't hurt your bladder & kidneys! :

i don't drink normal coffee, only the chocolate mint iced capps and the black & white peppermint mocha from Star*ucks. i find they both upset my tummy if i haven't had enough sleep the night before - which pretty much defeats the purpose of drinking one in the morning to help wake me up!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

I hope your doing well after yesterday! I glad to hear that you maybe able to start to get back to normal soon! Then before you know it will be time to see Mickey!!

If you need to dream about the Lapu Lapu just take a gander at the picture in my PTR! I swear, their calling my name all the way from Poly....

My knee is really hurting today but it is a different pain it doesn't feel as swollen.
Now my BUTT is hurting from sitting so much
I am a strange breed I love my job my little "oldies" are truly special to me and God has blessed me to give me such sweet ones to care for.They are not use to me taking any time off.

I am sitting here on the couch while my DH is handing out Trick-or-Treat candy to beggars.

I told my DH about the Lapu Lapu's and he siad he would drink one for me when we go. He is mostly a Bud man or a nice glass of Wine.
Like I stated I don't handle alcohol to well and now shouldn't drink any due to the cancer drugs I'm on. But I quess I can get a "Virgin" one.

I am sitting here on my couch...where else
It is 9:00am and DH just told me a special on Disney is on "Thrillmakers:Walt Disney World" so I am one happy couch potao right now watching.
Talk to you all later Disney is calling me.

Oooo that sounds like a good program, i am so jealous! We don't get any good channels. LUckily when i was couch-bound my bf and i happened to be staying in my grandmother's empty apartment for a few weeks and according to him i watched the Food Network 15 hours a day (i'm sure he's exaggerating... )

Hope it was a good show and kept you happily entertained for a while ... how's your knee feeling today?

The show was interesting it showed rides such as TOT,RRC,SM,MS and Dinosaur and it allowed to actually feel like you were riding along with them.
I am gld it showed these rides so I can decide if I can or will ride it.
We love the Food Network my DH loves to cook so he is always watching food programs.

The knee feels better today but I am still taking something for pain.
I just had some of my cabbage soup for lunch it was okay I don't have much appetite these last couple days.

I feel a nap coming on

Hey guess what? We are online at the same time! Just read through your pre-trip report and now I understand about your knee (poor bunny!!! ) Don't you ever worry, friend. I will NEVER be sending you any Vegemite!!! I've figured out that we have a lot in common - we are both Disney-crazy and super-in-love with our DH's! The bad news is I don't think our dates for Disney World quite match up to bump into each other Only 23 more sleeps until I board that big plane for the Land of the Hero Mouse, and the land of Vickey, my LGMHPC hero By reading your pre-trip records, I've realised that I'm just a plain, ordinary, garden variety Disney nut - you are the REAL DEAL, my friend! I aspire to be just like you and will try MUCH harder over the next 3 weeks to 'amp it up' to your level Thanks for sharing the story of your journey so far - I hope the next month is full of wishes and dreams for you (and no more naughty knee!!! ) Lots of love and hugs, Friend from afar

I am definitely in love with my DH he is one of a kind.
I am sorry we don't match up our days in Disney it would be so great to meet up with you.
You know how to boost someones ego...THANKS.
I am glad your DW tix arrived I can't wait till my AAA agent calls me to come pick mine up.
22 more sleeps for you and 37 more sleeps for me.
I have to put up my November count down calendar this morning

I am anxious to read your TR when you get back from DL,DW and Vegas.
Carry a little notebook with you(in your purse) and make notes so you don't forget ALL the important things I want to read about everything.

My knee is doing better this morning enough so that I think I'll try and go to grocery store with DH but I will use the motorized carts. Anything just to get out of the house before my Hinney(BUTT) takes roots to the couch.Besides when DH goes we wind up with so much stuff we don't need,hey I know I trained him right and he uses coupons and looks for bargains but he doesn't have to use every coupon He would probably use the one for vegemite if there was one or buy 4 if they were on sale.

 

[vdarrell]

I made it back from the grocery store and didn't knock over one display using the motorized cart. About ran over a couple of people it was packed everyone wanting to take advantage of the Halloween markdowns.
It sure did feel good getting out.

[Aussie Bambi Girl]

Notebook? Got it! Have packed my bags (about 3 weeks ago!) and now have nothing left to wear for the next 22 sleeps! Have just realised how crazy it will feel to be under 20 sleeps til I get on that plane in just a couple of days! Not long for either of us now! Happy, Happy, Happy!!! Ran out of ways to plan, so now I've done my Ride Max and also joined TGM and got some super-useful tips ('got to pass the time somehow!!!') I'm also starting to figure out ways to use all those other MHPC colours you sent me - tipping envelopes, door and window decorations, etcFUN!!! Note to Vickey's knee: BE NICE TO HER OR I'LL SEND YOU SOME VEGEMITE! Note to Vickey: Have a great night friend! (ps if you can navigate that grocery store, Disney should be a breeze! )

I made my tip envelopes by using some of the design prints and glued them on regular white envelopes.
As for the decorations I went to the Dollar Store we have here and bought some cute Christmas decorations that are Disney Charactors.

 

[Aussie Bambi Girl]

Well, the law in Australia is that if you don't have any clothes to wear, you have to wear ..... VEGEMITE!!!!
You are fun - I just can't believe you are arriving the day after we fly out!!!

From what you have said about that nasty VEGEMITE it would eat your skin off.

I know ,I really wish it was WDL first then WDW. Or better yet I wish we could meet up at WDW then proceed on to Vegas with you That place is an adult Disney,costumes and all. Plus there is even a roller coaster you could ride that goes around the outside of a hotel/casino.
Well I quess you will have to just hit a jackpot or have hubby win BIG at poker so you can visit me in Ohio.
I'd make sure to have some really good VEGEMITE appetizers waiting for you.

I wish I was going to DL 1st too. My whole life I have wanted to visit DL and now it's going to be after DW I'm afraid it will be a bit of an anti-climax and that I might be all theme parked out by the time we get there I couldn't come all that way and not go to both Land and World, though, and I couldn't go all that way and not see my family 1st in NYC for Thanksgiving, so really there was no option as I couldn't leave any early due to job commitments. Still, if that's my biggest problem in life aside from Vegemite eating through my skin, I guess I've got nothing to complain about! Vegas would have been fun with you too, but maybe not quite as much fun as DW Maybe one day DH & I will get to have a non-theme park visit to America, but I have a feeling it will be England, Africa and Egypt for us next time round (DH's turn to pick, but I'm pretty sure if DH won big at poker he'd be buying himself a BIG BOAT!!! ). If that happens, we'll send you an invite to try it out with us Off to see Wall-E at the cinemas with a work colleague now (here it's 11am on Sunday)

 

[faerieprincess]

Wall-E was so good but the short at the beginning, "Presto", was sooooo excellent. The Pixar shorts are really incredible.

New York, WDW, DL, Vegas...wow!

Vickey one week from today you'll be less than a month!!

 

[Aussie Bambi Girl]

Totally agreed - the bunny in 'Presto' was the highlight of my cinematic experience. I adore Pixar, but I wouldn't see Wall-E twice - I need lots of colour and animals other than cockroaches to keep me really engaged!

I know I'm waiting to when I can count down the days not weeks and then the hours.

If she wasn't so sweet I would so tempted to dis-like her for all that travel time.

Alright,I was really want to watch this but not if there are cockroaches
I do want to see Pixar.
I didn't realise there was that much of a difference in our time/day scale.
Today we had to move our clocks back an hour. It is 1:25am now and I couldn't sleep so of course what do I do but log on to the Dis to see if my good friends have left me a message.... they did

 

[Aussie Bambi Girl]

It's kinda cute for a cockroach, but still, the best critters have fur, right? Can't believe you're on here after midnight (I usually go to bed 9pm!)

And please don't be jealous about the travel time, friend. Other than 2 weeks of working in Indonesia last year, I've never been ANYWHWERE!!! Have been planning this USA trip since I was four years old (that's 34 years, in case you're curious ), and you, my friend, have been to Disney before (now I'M jealous!!! ) I'll only ever get one shot at this, so I need to get it right coz when I get back, it's back to for me!!! (GROAN!!!) I think my poor students are sick of my weekly countdown in class (they should be thankful it's not daily )

Get to sleep soon, friend! ps (Hey look, a post from me without a vegemite reference ... DOH!!! )

You can never be theme parked out,
Thanksgiving with family is very important.
As for visiting us if you are in the mood we do have a fairly large theme park here called Paramount Studios(Kings Island) and not to far away we have a Six Flags Theme Park.
Our next big vacation hopefully will be to go back to Hawaii we went there for our 30th anniversary but only got to see 3 of the Islands and of course I want to go back to Alaska I was fortunate to have gone with a patient of mine who had Parkinson's Disease but I'd love to be able to go back and see it with my DH since there was so much I didn't really get to see.
But of course I'd love to see England,Africa or Egypt which I know my DH would love since he is into history so much.
Boating what can I say other then "CALL ME' I'll meet you at any port.
