Sounds like a plan! We could turn Rick on the 10th into a Dismeet!



I'm not, but if you see a 6'2'', 300 pound guy and a fiesty just-turned 3yo girl ready to kill their wheelchair-using wife/mom for being a lunatic planner, that'll be us!

A Dismeet at the Rick Springfield concert sounds like fun to me. (We could all visit while we wait for the show.)

at your hubby and daughter. (My hubby is 6'2" also, but only about 235 lbs.) I'll be the one with the four kids and a look that says "Why did we do this again?" by that point J/K! I tease the kids that I am going to leave them home, but reality is seeing their faces and experiencing all of it with them, is one of the biggest reasons I love to go. (Well that and I am an addict )

Now come me and hubby's 15th wedding anni this coming March, they can forget it! We had our honeymoon (offsite) at Disney World and I want to go back for our 15th and do it all the way. (Deluxe everything! )

I want to see Rick Springfield, too!!!

We'll be there on the 10th as well! We should get Rick to announce us from the stage

Although, I am seriously thinking of switching our Epcot day. Not into the crowds that F&W might bring. I don't mean the people, but the mass of PEOPLE. Any advice? I thought a Wednesday might not be too busy. We've always missed F&W before. I don't think it ran as late?? or we've just accidently missed it.

Thanks!
Michelle

Well come on along!! The more the merrier

Ya know, I am not that young. I will be 30 in a few days. But I have somehow missed the entire Rick Springfield era. I was alive. I know the song Jessies Girl. I just somehow don't remember it. When DH pointed out that it was the guy from General Hospital that sang Jessies Girl, I found it rather amusing.

Now, I could get on board with some Boyz 2 Men or Taylor Hicks!

 

[Px4]

I am going away for a few days. I am actually taking my kids to another theme park other then Disney! First time for everything, I suppose! LOL We are going to Kings Island. First time since 1997! DH gets in free on Sunday and Monday. About time Kings Island finally decided to give a decent military discount. They have been very behind the loop!

But I thought of another QOTD from something we were talking about the past few days. So here ya go......


Question Of The Day.....

What family traditions do you have while vacationing at Walt Disney World?



Our traditions start with our drive down. We always stop at the FL Welcome Center and get OJ! Ohana is always our first day breakfast. We always go to MK on our first day. We always get a couple corn dog nuggets and fries from Caseys, a few dole whip floats from Aloha Isle and 2 cinnamon buns from the Main Street Bakery and have a mini picnic on Main Street while watching Spectro and Wishes. Tho is never really makes it to Wishes! lol We also always buy a bucket of popcorn in every park. Even if the buckets happen to be the same. We always get our picture made in front of all the icons. And while it is not a tradition I meant to start, I always take a picture of a Ostrichs butt while on the Safari. LOL And when we leave, we always wave goodbye and say see you soon to the come back again sign!

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone! And remember, if you see a soldier, tell him Thank You!

Quite Honestly I do not think our family ever had a yearly tradition other than going to MK first so that DS#2 could ride Splash Mountain and now that he is gone I guess you can say we plan on starting a new traditon with this trip.
While at the MK DH and myself plan on buying a balloon in MK and letting it go up to heaven to our beloved DS. This will be our first trip without him and in a way it is in memory of DS, since we always planned on going at Christmas time but never were able to due to industries DH and myself worked in and not being able to take the time off.

This trip is part of the healing process in our greaveing for our DS, WDW holds so many wonderful memories for us of the many vacations spent there over the years, at first we felt we could never return but then shortly after Christmas last year I felt the need to return and so we are.

 

[weHEARTmickey]

First of all, we are staying at the Polynesian Nov 18-26. This is our FIRST time to ever stay Deluxe & I'm the ONLY one in my family who knows!!!! We were going to have to do a split stay at the POP/CS, but now we're full-fledged Poly peeps.

Question Of The Day.....What family traditions do you have while vacationing at Walt Disney World?

We HAVE to see Wishes on our first night, where I cry like a big baby. (This year they will have MVMCP on our 1st night, so we will just watch it from the Poly beach!) We have other traditions, but they all involve food.

I'm the same way, just turned 30 at the beginning of May, so I personally missed that era as well. But I have a sister who's 14 yrs older than I am, so I'm sure I heard some Rick Springfield out of her room. And I do know the song Jessie's Girl quite well, as it got a lot of play at a particular fraternity's parties in college (one of the guy's names was Jesse).

QOTD - No family traditions yet, as this is our first family trip. I look forward to making some though!

Our family traditions:

Run to ride Buzz Lightyear as soon as we get to the MK.

We laugh hysterically as we are listening to my DH speak every word of the script and sing every song during the Carousel of Progress.
We buy a Christmas ornament for our tree.
We always tell Cinderella goodbye on our last day.

Good for you! What a wonderful thing to do in memory of your son. I honestly can not imagine what it would be like to lose a child. I'm sure he would want you to go back to the place that brought your family so many happy memories. You know we are here if you ever need to talk about him!

You are that young!! I am almost too young for the Rick Springfield era and I am several years older than you!

Yep, that's him - the guy that was on General Hospital many many years ago and the guy that sings Jessie's Girl!

Question Of The Day.....

What family traditions do you have while vacationing at Walt Disney World?

Hmm. . . not really sure we have any actual traditions. . . Well maybe a few things come to mind. To head to IASW for the very first ride at MK! And for DH to yell - is this all the faster this thing goes?! - on Test Track every time. This always cracks up the kids, so of course now he does it every time!

Hello all:

my husband and I are doing a 3 day (MTW) Thanksgiving week to celebrate his 60th birthday which is that Monday.

We're new DVC members and *just* booked so we're at Saratoga Springs.

We'd love to join a Wishes cruise that evening (or T or W)...anyone with 2 seats available let me know!

November travelers!

PunttinOnes ~ Oct 29-Nov 2 ?

We are staying at the CBR!!
**********************************************
Does anyone have any recommendations as to what we should do? This will be our wedding and start of our honeymoon, so I'm not looking to attack the parks and do every ride or anything of the sort. I'd like to do some fun, memorable things on our honeymoon.

Let the ideas roll in!

 

[RobinHoodGirl]

Question Of The Day.....

What family traditions do you have while vacationing at Walt Disney World?

Any time a ride breaks... my dad is blamed.

The story with that is my first trip to WDW it seemed every ride we went on it broke (we even needed to walk off Living with the Land because it couldn't be fixed). There were five of us at the time, and the only ride not everyone went on was the Mexico ride (It was just my mom, my aunt and me). That brought it down to either my sister or my dad was the one breaking the rides... we blamed my dad.

When went back 4 years later, same people minus my sister, no ride broke... my dad did a "I told you it wasn't me" but we still blamed him.

To this day, when a ride breaks it's his fault, even though he has passed away. It's also my way of thinking he (and now my mom) are still with me when I go to WDW

You could go to the GF and get the spa treatments!! I know other resorts offer massages and such also....go to the UK area at Epcot and dance to the British Invasion (Beatle look alikes)...hmmm I will keep thinking!
