The Mouse-KIDS are in charge...a Jan '12 PTR NEW 2/5 TR link & new tickers

[mousescrapper]

I am a fan of your pancakes too! Such a cool idea to use a squeeze bottle to make the letters.

Everyone looks like they've had a very full summer so far. I love the picture of you and NR waiting for the fireworks on the 4th of July. Very cute!

BTW, hooray for 'Ohana! The other CS picks look to be spread out very good for all the kids. I can't imagine how hard it is to get an overall consensus....

thanks...

I just love fireworks...UI even got to see them twice...Matt was a dear and let me go w/ my Dad, Bri and SIL to see the fireworks in my hometown too can't wait to see Disney's very soon!

yes a consensus if food was tricky wait till we get to attraction picking and order...

Six months will fly by!!!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Fell a little behind again...

Happy six months!!!


(Six bananas for six months)

And I just read your family update. I knew about some of the stuff you'd been up to but it was fun to see the pictures & to hear about some of the other things you've been doing. Matt is a hoot with his pancakes & his disco dancing! I'll have to try some of those fancy pancakes.

 

[mousescrapper]

thanks for the dancin...oh yeah it will fly by for sure...once school resumes, then our trip, holidays... and we'll all be back together again


@ Amy...yes Matt has some crazy moments...when he dressed like that I said "you know this is going on the Dis"

 

[Native NYer]

All caught up now!
You have such a fun trip planned! I love that the kids are planning this one. Great dining choices! And I think OOP is so much better than the DDP. We have found that we aren't saving $$ on the plan.
I love the pancakes!

Yay for 6 months!!!!

 

[mousescrapper]

thanks Jennifer...Yes I am eager to give it a whril w/ the dinning I am pretty confident it is the way to go

 

[mousescrapper]

so my BIG ADR day seemed a bit lackluster...didn't even get up at the crack of dawn

but neverless it still means we are 180 days away from leaving for the next Family WDW trip

I made a single ADR for O'Hana at the Poly for the morning of Mon Jan 16th at 10 am...so I am happy w/ that


The next BIG step is airfare....we'll be flying SWA again and the dates should open up next week Tuesday the 26th...but you never the last time I flew the dates opened a day early ...

but of course keeping to a NO Charging affair for this trip we are using savings for the big purchases and well you know how that goes right... a few extra bills and some unxpected car repair has sucked away a good portion of it now I expect I can replenish a small bit this Friday after payday...but not everything so the PLAN right now is to SEE what the flights are going for when they open...since I have to buy 6 SEATS it does get pricey...I am hoping that what I have still set aside can pay for 1 way down for now [I also have $90 in credit for Matt and I tickets] and then in a month or so pay for the return flight w/out risk of a bad flight or rate... I know the $$ is coming back in for the trip once I start back to work the end of August...so we are still moving forward


wish us luck w/

J~

I missed the dance!! I think I will still throw some in here!



I cannot believe six months is already here! Where ever does the time go? I can totally relate to unexpected bills. Due to that fact, we may not be able to cruise for DH's 40th birthday.


Sending huge helpings of pixie dust your way Julie!!

 

[Native NYer]

Good luck with the flights! I hope the fares are low.
When you have to purchase more than one or two tickets, it gets expensive. Thank goodness SW doesn't charge for luggage.

 

[DisMomAmy]

I didn't realize today was ADR day! I'm glad you got what you wanted.

You know I'll be thinking of you next week when Southwest releases your dates.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Awww I missed the dancing! I'll dance with you now!

Yay for reaching the 180 day mark! How fun is it to get the ADR's you want? I love it! O'hana seems like such a fun breakfast!

 

[teekathepony]

Good luck with your flights! ADR day is very exciting, even if you don't get up early

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for your Ohana's ADR and lots of pixie dust for reasonable airfare!

 

[irish dancer]

Got a little behind again, darn summer. I need the kids to go back to school so I can fit in my Dis time.

for 6mos and getting your Ohana ADR.

Extra PD for next week w/SWA.

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Still here! Just got home from our 12 day camping trip last week and trying to get my life back in order!

Your trip is coming along nicely! I love all the comments from the kids about the food, etc. Very cute!

Love the Disco Night...your family looks groovy!

 

[Parla]

I am so envious of your budgeting skills. I need to work on that.

I know our "summer" vacay may have to be postponed and/or changed into something a bit smaller...but keeping Disney!
