OMG you guys have so many pins! Wow. I worked at Hard Rock Cafe back in the mid 90's and I had hundreds of those pins. I always wondered why Disney didn't do it and now they do! We have a few...they're framed on the staircase in a shadow box type pin frame. The second one is about full. The kids wont wear the lanyards though. They gripe and complain about them being too heavy.
So how much are the pearls? Just to open one...not to set it and all. I've never done that. I'm not a big pearl fan but DD would love doing this I think. She is crazy over jewelry. (She did not inherit that from me...all I wear is my wedding ring.)![]()
Have fun in NYC and at the wedding. Sunday is a long time to wait for an update but if we have to...![]()
Yes it is really sad lol. Oh that must have been fun! I want to frame some of our pins. Aww yeah those things get heavy.
I think they are $15.95.. I think. She would love it!! They make a big deal about it in Japan, so she would love it.
HAHA I know, I'm sorry lol.
Thanks! I'm hoping to work my mileage up this summer - hopefully it won't be too humid here in Michigan!
I teach high schoolers - which can be challenging at times, but is rewarding too! Enjoy your time at school - it'll be over before you know it! I'm actually starting my Masters this fall...who knew I'd be back in school so soon!
I have dark blonde/brown hair (it was a brown, but I just had highlights put in). I love when it's straight - but it takes me awhile to do that. And...in the summer straightening it is a disaster. If there's even a little bit of humidity, it turns into a fuzzball!
I have started my pre-trip report! The link is in my sig -- enjoy! Can't wait to read more updates from you -- and have FUN at the wedding this weekend!

I hope it goes by quickly. I don't want to be 30 when I finish school lol.
Yeah don't bother in the summer lol. OOOh good!! I will check it out when I have some time. I promise. Probably on Sunday.
Have a great weekend. I will be checking in tomorrow or monday have a busy weekend too. Great up date I love the pearls and all the pics of course.![]()
Thanks girl!
Have so much fun with all of your wedding festivities the next couple of days! I'm sure you'll have a blast. (And good luck on your speech!!)
Besides cupcakes (mmmm!), what are you going to be doing in NYC? Have fun!![]()
Thanks! I edited my speech last night. It's perect. Like 250 words, not bad. It sounds like a lot, but it's not really. I'm not nervous about it anymore because I fixed it. The first one I was uncomfortable with, this one much better lol. Tim's is awesome!
Oh we re just going up to walk around, hit a museum and the WOD store of course lol.
Have fun at the wedding! We are going to a wedding this weekend as well, but in IN.
I love pick a pearl. We did it for the first time last trip. I got a golden color one, but the lady next me got a pink one! I wanted it.
That is a lot of pins! We haven't gotten into the pin trading yet. We figure we'll get our fill when DD and DS are older.![]()
OOh have fun!!
Ahh I have to get a pink one!! I have a gold one, silver, blue, like a greenish one, ivory, and some with a pink tone but I want a full blown pink one.
It's so much fun!
Oh my gosh! I am on vacation this week at Disney's Hilton Head Island resort and this is the first time in a week that I have checked the trip report board. I am on page 90......I am never going to get caught up....
I glanced at some of the posts to figure out how far back I needed to go and it looks like there are some funny updates coming up.![]()
Hey!!! Hope you're having a great time!! That is so awesome. Oh have fun trying to catch up lol. It's a long report.
![]()
It was too cute...
I would be torn between the two as well... but Narcoossee wins.. thats my favourite part.. that you get to watch wishes.
Your update was good.. I love picking a pearl. It's an amazing experience and to this day i still wear mine on my gold chain.
I love the photo of you at the boardwalk, it's beautiful.
Just wanted to wish you a good weekend. I'm sure your going to have a blast getting pampered, at the wedding and at WOD. Enjoy yourself. Can't wait to hear all about it!!!
Yeah I have to watch Wishes when I eat there! Can't wait. I want to make a necklace next time we go.
Thanks! Yeah so we never made it to NYC. We were pooped from the wedding. We may go tomorrow though, depending on the weather. The wedding was amazing. Going to post pics when I'm done catching up with everybody.
Those Pooh pictures are so cute! I love the character interaction. I can't wait to see Aaron's reaction when we do breakfast at CM. It's going to be awesome. Oh, and that picture of you guys jumping in front of the castle...so great!! I'd definitely frame that one.
HOLY CRAP!!! That is A LOT of pins. I'm having some serious pin envy right now.
Hope you guys have a great time this weekend. Can't wait to see pictures!
LMAO he is going to be so miserable lol. Or does he like the characters? haha that pic is so funny lol.
Girl Tim counted how many we have and I think it was between 700-900 pins. I don't remember, but I know it's over 700.
Thank you, it was so much fun.
SO I am slightly excited...I just got hired (yesterday in fact) at the World of Disney store! Have an awesome time visiting my new job! Crumbs bakeries are amazing!!!!
OMG really? That is awesome. Congrats and good for you!! So we didn't make it to NYC today, going to try and go tomorrow. Will you be working? I know, I can't wait to try it!
Great update! Those pics of the gang with the baby are so stinkin' cute!! And forget that lady behind you that was rushing (I'm sure we'll run into a few while we're at the World, poor impatient people).
I'm so sorry about your poor foot! I hope it didn't hurt the rest of the trip!
Aww I know!! HAHA I know, there are a few people who freak out lol. I don't let it bug me though, I just laugh at them. Oh it did hurt the rest of the trip lol. I was a mess.
Re: the bird eating the lizard... I watched this movie once, apparently that's called "The circle of Life".![]()
Holy cow! I knew Tim always goes to trade pins but...
Oh I know, it was crazy though. I didn't think that birds would eat lizards.
Yeah it's scary.
Hi Lynn,
I haven't checked in in a day or so and missed a lot!!
Your poor foot, that looked horrible! I hope you wore sneaks the rest of the trip so it got better? You poor thing!! Have you had any more trouble with it since the trip?
Love the photopass pics of you and Tim jumping, too cute!And the balloon ones, too, they are so fun!!!
Your pearls are so pretty, what did you do with them? Do you get them every time you go?
And WOA, that was a lot of pins! Were they all from one day? Or the whole trip? Holy cow!!
I hope you have a great time at the wedding this weekend. I love Chicky and Pete's!!!!! It's a fun place!! My DH is from Philly and I lived out there for over 10 years, now I miss it! Have a good time!!!
Looking forward to more, when you have the time!!
Hi!!! Yeah I did wear sneaks the next day, I think. It was annoying though lol. It bothered me until I got home. No it doesn't bother me at ll. Never have a problem. I'm still running.
They were from since the beginning of our trip. That was about 5 days worth.
Chicky and Petes was so much fun, and so good. Crab Fries are the best lol.
Loved the update! Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead of you! I hope you have a wonderful time at the wedding and in NYC!Our bed each night looked like that table with all the pins on it. Lol. Dh would dump out our lot of pins from the day and see what we needed to fill sets and make a little list of pins to reference the next day. Love looking for pins!

The wedding was so nice and sooo much fun!! NYC might be tomorrow. HAHA Yim does the same thing.
Well, I had a couple of updates to catch up on!! Now forgive me Lynn, but......Lance Armstrong?????? Ok, that's out of the way.
I love the pic of you two jumping infront of the castle & where Tim's holding the balloons. Very different! I love the Coral Reef too! Chocolate Wave!!!!!!!!Pooh & friends are always a riot! My nieces love to go there. I've seen the pearl thing in Japan, but never did it. Do you always get a pearl? Perhaps you should have a necklace made for yourself. You know, like those add-a-bead necklaces?
You two certainly know how to trade pins!!!! :
LMAO I know, I'm a ditz lol! Yeah you always leave with a pearl, sometimes you get twins!! That happened on our honeymoon so I had them make earrings for me. Yeah I want to do something with them.
I love the new photopass "special" pic
Me too.
Hey Lynn!!
Just caught up on your TR.
I LOVE the faerie pictures you took! So cute! And tink is definately the same girl as alice.
I really like the pictures down the side street at main st. i'll have to do that next time. DF totally refuses to go on IASW too. its a guy thing i think.
CR is one of my favorite resturauntes and Tim got my favorite dish, the grilled mahi mahi. I started drooling when i saw the pictures. Did he like it??
I didn't know that you could pick pearls in japan!! I'm totally going to have to do it.
And lastly, the pooh, tigger and eyeore picutre are adorable! You looked like you had a blast with them! And the little baby with them was sooooo cute!
Have fun at the wedding!
Thank you! Yeah they are cute pics! Oh I know, all guys can't stand it lol.
Yeah Tim loved it!!!!
Oh go do it! It's cool. Aww I know so cute.
Thank you!
I have to chime in and say those pictures with the baby and the Pooh gang are super cute!
I like your pictures at the Boardwalk. It's funny that I have walked by there and never noticed how nice it is. Another spot to go explore next time
Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead of you. Enjoy the activities this weekend!
Aww I know. Yeah go there one night and walk around. It's such a fun atmosphere. Thank you very much.
Just catching up on the TR but since you asked...
Deluxe is alot of fun but it is alot of food with the appetizers thrown in as well.
Our plan for the last trip was to shoot for an early sit down breakfast and then a smaller lunch followed by a sit-down dinner.
If we did a sit-down lunch, we opted for a quicker breakfast like a buffet.
Basically, we would run and run and run and use the meals as our relaxing downtime spending time enjoying each place.
And with the kids, we had to make sure they had to stuff to do.
Check out our TR for reviews...
As for the snacks, we used them up during Food & Wine and the rest were for take-home snacks (like fudge to take home to friends).
We tried the regular Dining Plan last time and it was ok but we missed our appetizers so we're switching back to Deluxe next time around...![]()
OOH I will def check out your reviews!! Thank you soo much for the advice.
My dad owns a 66 chevelle. He is restoring it. It was his when he was younger.
OOh Tim is going to be so jealous lol!
Ok now I actually read your last installment.
I have a question for you and Tim. What is the secret to keeping the pins on the lanyards. Mine and Bobby's kept falling off. They fell off so much that I stopped wearing my lanyard. I really want to wear it in January and get more pins but I'm afraid I am going to lose them.
We use the regular backings. Sometimes Tim will have one or two fall off. Mine always stay on. In the past though I have had one come off. So there really isn't a secret.
