Can I just say how much I enjoy having a day off during the regular work week? 
Let's me focus more on Disney planning and the DIS! 
Having the day off also allowed me to stay on top of the mail. Lookie, lookie what came for me today!
I pointed out this shirt in July (I think) but they only had L or XL. And my sister being the greatest person that she is, remembered how much I wanted this shirt and found the right size.
And more importantly, this also arrived all wrapped up in the shirt:
[Insert heavenly-like noises here]
It's my AP!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, sorta. It's those stupid vouchers you have to exchange. I don't understand why they can't just give you the real AP right then and there. Maybe it's a security thing? Who knows 
So with a new shirt and AP (voucher) in hand, I am now going to try to purchase a TIW card.
Due to the recent price hike for the DDP, in the long run, I think taking the TIW card route makes more economical sense. Really, I can't see myself spending $500+ (the cost of DDP here in Canada) on Disney food within 8 days. I'm just not that big of an eater. Getting the 20% off food (even with the automatic 18% gratuity) will really add up in the long run.
I just got back from the library with my huge bounty of Disney movies. I was able to grab Pocohantas, The Aristrocats, Pinocchio, and Mulan. I haven't seen any of these movies in SO long. Probably since they were new to VHS
I'm debating which one I should watch first and what order. This will be my nights this week - full on Disney movie nights!
My Random Past Disney Photo of the Day this time isn't Disney related at all but I just have to post this picture. It's my dog, Pixel, after just getting groomed. This is the best she's ever turned out and thought I'd share her nice new look with everyone
Trust me, she doesn't look this nice all the time! Of course, the day she gets groomed is the day we have terrible rainy weather. I swear it never fails whenever I get her groomed....

Great with the little ones too. Her real name starts with "A". If you get a female server with the name beginning with the letter "A", ask her if her sister calls her Bubba. That would freak her right out! She'll wonder where you got your information from 
Having to exchange my voucher for the real AP and buying the TIW card. No doubt it'll be Murphy's Law and SOMETHING if not EVERYTHING will slow me down 
I thought I would never catch up on sllep after my last trip.
I love getting mail from her now as she always seems to send some sort of Disney goodies and other surprises. Can't really blame her for her shopping sprees though. If I was working down there, I'd spend my whole pay check in 2 seconds flat!

The more the merrier! Thanks for joining in! Looking forward to sharing ideas 
You know, there are times when I wish I could just squeeze through the phone line and end up on the other side with her! It's hard not to feel a twitch of envy sometimes 
So here goes:
Also, we've never done a split stay so this could only heighten the tension further. But I can't get the image of my Mom's face lighting up as we pull up to WL instead of Pop, like originally planned. Sure, she'll realize something is up when we get onto ME but it'll all be part of the fun. 
She had the opportunity to be in Disney, during X-mas time. Her DREAM COME TRUE. Sigh. Now, to make up for that, I really want to surprise her with this one night at WL. Yes, it's only one night but it'll be worth it in the end. That's it. I'm going to do it...................right after I get some sleep first 
Either that, or POFQ, depending on finances. I've yet to even visit WL, but all the photos make it seem just beautiful! 
She says she likes the views at WL and AKL equally, hence both of them being 2nd choices. Only reason WL rates higher is due to its location. I know exactly why she chose the Poly. Here's the back story:
lmao: I'm sorry that makes me laugh every time) had just opened so my Mom didn't really know much about it to truly appreciate what a good upgrade this was. Of course she enjoyed it but I know it wasn't what she truly wanted. She wanted Poly. She still wants Poly.
