The "I said I wasn't going to do a PTR...PTR" (Sept '11)

[inkedupmomma]

I'm super stoked for mnsshp with you guys! So much so, that I am breaking my never eat a buffet dinner! I'm hoping it is as good as you say!

LOVE the pic of my kiddies..minus a certain jerk in the background.

Day 6 looks great

Looks like you had a fun 4th July celebration, great photos

Hope your recertification comes back soon, fingers and toes are crossed for you and sending lots of good thoughts and : your way

Thanks Stef. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the recertification.

Oops posted when you did

Day 7 looks fab, glad I have a ToT partner as Dave is such a girl for not going on it (seeing as he has only ever been on it once!). We should so get a dessert tray for Fantasmic, you seen them?

I don't like ToT either so Dave and I will shop.

I have not seen the dessert tray. What is it all about?

That does sound like a great day! I think you'll be very happy with your private photo session at AKL...we had a great time at ours and I was thrilled with the pictures!

Thanks Queen. I'm excited to do a session there. I love the lodge.

Glad to see you had a great 4th of July - your pics look great!

Love the pics of your cats

Your plans sound great! Think I will be spoilt for choice at Starring Rolls! Can't wait to hear about your new photo session!

Thanks. We had fun on the 4th!

My cats are nuts. Just today they were able to disconnect the external mouse and keyboard from my laptop and send the mouse flying from my dining room table to all the way under the sofa!

I can't wait for our session at AKL!

WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!

The buffet has so many choices, I think you will love it!

I love that picture of the kids. It is one of my very favorite Disney memories...minus the jerk of course.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

So, have I mentioned that I am packed and ready to go?! Yep, no kidding. All that I have to pack are the things I use every day that I will be taking.

 

[inkedupmomma]

You found your box of stuff?? where was it??

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

The current plan is for breakfast at Maya, but I think we're going to change that.

We love Maya for dinner and were wanting to try breakfast there. I'm just not sure what we will change it to....possibly Kouzzina as they have an amazing breakfast and I so want to go back there and have the waffle again!

We had an awesome time there last year. This is where I got to meet Queen and Jas. Don't ask me how, but I don't have a picture of all of us. But here is a picture of Queen and I from last year.

After breakfast we will head to DAK.

My guess is that we will get there around 11 or so. We never seem to do much here so I am hoping that this year will be different. No EE for me but Joe will likely go in the single rider line. I am hoping that we will be able to catch FotLK and ride the safari.

Those are my must do's for DAK, along with character meets and getting as many photopass pictures as possible.

Lunch will be at FTBBQ. I just love it there! They were closed last year so it's been a while since I've had their pulled pork. Diet or no diet, I'm getting it!

The plan is to stay for the parade since we have not seen it since 2005 so I'm sure that we will do more at DAK, I just don't know what yet. It tends to get hot there and since we have a rather full day ahead of us, I'm hoping that we won't tire out!

It has been so long since we've seen Jammin Jungle that I don't even have pictures to share.

After the parade at DAK, we will likely head straight to The Wave for dinner. I am very excited to go here. We canceled our plans last year and I regret it now. I am so looking forward to this meal!

From dinner, our next stop is DTD for some shopping and to meet Kathy and Mark (KatMark) for drinks at Fulton's. We met them last year at CSR and are excited to be able to see them again this trip.

Here is a picture from when we met Kathy and Mark last year:

We will likely shop at DTD until they close and then head back to POFQ to collapse! I love making the most of our days at Disney, but this one will be a long one!


Up next....day 9

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

You found your box of stuff?? where was it??

You will laugh. We went to the storage unit and looked through everything....found nothing. Then...I spotted it. I put it all in my luggage. Seeing as we got new luggage this year, I didn't pull out the old stuff. If I would have done that first thing, I would have found what I was looking for.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

The one thing that I keep forgetting to mention that Joe is looking forward to is swimming at night with Kayla and Jack. We were just talking about it the other day too.

I'm only sad that they won't be there on all the same nights that we are there. No clue who Joe will swim with when they go back home.

LMFAO, oh Sophia, if that doesnt sound like something I do on a DAILY basis! I never check the obvious spots, where I put things so i won't forget.. LOLOL Glad you found it though!

OMG, they are SO excited for that too! Jack especially has been talking about you guys lately! I think Kayla just knows 100% that you will be there and Jack doesn't quite get it! OMG... did I tell you, he thought you guys lived in WDW! Cause you are there every time we go! He said well don't they just live there?? This kid cracks me up! I reminded him that yall live in OHIO.. remember when we went to OHIO.. he said, Oh yeah, I forgot lol!

Hi Friends!

Its been a long time since I've posted but I wanted to stop by and say Hi!

I've been thinking lots about Disney lately and I want a trip! I got one of those ANNOYING TAUNTING emails from Disney about package deals, ha ha.

I need to get back on the Ebay train and get selling again so I can afford another trip.

I think I might talk to the family & see if I can do some major selling over the next 2 months if we can swing a Sept trip, lol.

Well I hope you & Jenn have fun! Miss chatting with you lovely ladies (and all the other wonderful Disney fans on here)

Sending all my love!

Hi there! We've missed you on the boards.

I envy your eBay skills. I wish I knew where to begin. I have a 10x10 storage locker of stuff that I'd love to start selling!

I hope you can swing a Sept trip! Would be nice to see you again.

Great DAK and DTD plans!

Breakfast at Kouzzina looks yummy!

Breakfast was delish there! I highly recommend it!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Day 9 is our guys day/girls day with Stef and Dave.

We are so looking forward to this day. I've pretty much left the planning of our day to Stef since we both like to shop and such!

Joe and I will likely have breakfast at our resort before heading over to pick Stef and Dave up at the Poly. I think our plan is that Stef and I will drop the boys off at Epcot so that they can drink around the world. Yes, they will start as early as possible, I fear! Won't that be special when we finally meet back up later that evening?

Stef and I plan to do some damage, er, shopping at DTD first.

Maybe we will stop and get one of these at Goofy's too.

And I surely NEED to go here........

And then we will drive Poly (where Stef is staying) and park the car and take the monorail to GF for Tea. I've never done this before so I am looking forward to it. I have no idea what it is all about!

After tea we will take the monorail to MK for a bit more spending of the men's money and to do a few things before it's time to meet the guys.

The plan is to meet the guys at Epcot for dinner at Rose and Crown. I am hoping that Stef and I get there early enough so that we can enjoy some of WS together....maybe pick a pearl or meet my boyfriend...er, rather, Beast.

Maybe we can even get one of these too?

We're hoping for an outside table at R&C so that we can see Illuminations during or shortly after we finish eating.

It will be so awesome to have such a prime view for Illuminations from our table if we are lucky enough to get an outside table.

After the park closes we will take the monorail back to the Poly. We'll say good night to Stef and Dave and then drive back to our resort. My guess is that I will be the one driving if the boys have a successful day drinking around the world!

Up next, day 10....

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Day 10 comes with a new experience for me. My friend from work is coming down with her family to spend their vacation. We're meeting up in the morning after breakfast....guess where?............BBB! I have so wanted to go in there and share the experience. My friend's daughter and niece are going for makeovers in the morning. We tried to get them in at MK but there wasn't any availability so we're going to DTD.

Joe and I will have breakfast at EOS before we meet them. We love breakfast at EOS. Yummmy.............

After our BBB experience, we plan to all go to MK. I can't wait to see my friend's kid's first sight of the castle. It is going to be amazing. I told her that I will be the photographer for the day. LOL.

I just hope that it won't be doing THIS!

Here are some of the things I hope to accomplish at MK that day....in no particular order.

We wanted to keep our meals rather open today so we plan to have lunch at a CS place at MK. I am thinking either Diamond Horseshoe or Columbia Harbour since we've never been to either place before if you can believe it.

After lunch I hope to catch the 3 p.m. parade.

Our dinner ressie is at GFC with our friends that night. This is their first time to Disney and I can't wait to share this experience with them.

After dinner Joe and I will likely either go back to the resort and call it a night, or go to DTD for a bit more shopping. I guess it will depend on how we feel.

Up next....day 11

 

[Queenofallthings]

That sounds like a perfect day for everyone! I don't know who'll be in worse shape at the end of it...the boys from drinking all day or you girls from getting the credit cards in and out of your wallets (carpel tunnel you know)...either was sounds like a blast!

I can't wait to hear all about the Tea at the GF...we've never done it either so I'll be anxious to hear what you think

Promise me one thing...when you ladies get to WS please grab your GGS and think of me as you're consuming them

It's going to be a fun day...I just have this feeling that the boys are not going to be in good shape the morning after.

I will definitely think of you when I am enjoying my GGS. In fact, I will text a picture to Jas for you.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Your day 9 and 10 plans sound great! Having read about them on Stefy's PTR as well am sure you and her will have a great day of shopping followed by afternoon tea.

That is great that you will get to spend the next day at BBB and then be photographer! I sure hope it is does not pour down during our trips.
