The *OFFICIAL JUNE 2011 THREAD* "Some Like it Hot" & Some Like it Even Hotter! Part 2

[PRmamiDEdos]

Am I the only Junie left? I am starting to hear crickets!

chirp chirp...

Nope! I check in June 26th at AKL

Yay! June 25th here!!!!

It always hard being the end of the group. Not many people hang around after their trips are over to support us end of the month folks. But at least we don't have the Disney blues like others. Maybe we will see you there. We checking to kidani on Friday.

That's ok, we'll keep it fun, with our tales of packing disasters!!! LOL

I'm here. I packed a lot this afternoon and am now watching episodes of "Glee" from the first season.

I like the Photopass. Yes, we could ask them to take the pictures with our camera of the two of us but sometimes, you come across them so quickly, you don't have time to get your camera out.

I love Photopass. I just pre-ordered our CD for this trip. It lets us get lots of family pics together.

I'm catching up on True Blood Season 3. I plan on watching the season premiere while I'm there on Sunday night. I know the hotel doesn't have HBO so I'll have to watch it online on HBOgo at the villa! I LOVE technology!

We had really bad storms on the night of the season finale and I had to buy it for my iPad (oh, darn!!! ). I still haven't watched it but I think I'll do that on the plane on Friday.

So far I have just been using the wi-fi for my iPad, but I am afraid I am boing to be sad without the data package while we are in Disney. Can I live without Internet for 10 days? Gasp.....idk.

We were updating out playlist or the car of Disney songs and my son came across Dark Wing Duck so he promptly had to put in the DVDs. My DH loved this son. I think he was a little old for cartoons after school but he has 3 younger brothers so they sucked him in. Anyway, now both kids are sitting on the couch in a Dark Wing Duck trance.

Herb Muddlefoot: "Coconut burgers?" We loved Darkwing Duck!!!!

We sprung for the 3G/Wifi versions so DH bought me a data package. I hate that there is no wifi in the parks and resorts but, oh, well.

I thought my husband was the only one. That and he LOVEs TaleSpin. We own the complete series of that as well. It's fun that the kids like them too. They care share something with Daddy.

Yeah mine is 3G capable too, but I just have not purchased the data package yet. Most of the time anywhere I want to use them as wi-fi so I didn't feel like paying for it was necessary, but Disney should really get into the new millenium and offer free wi-fi in all resorts. I think it's so weird that the cheap Hampton Inn down the street has free wi-fi and McDonald's offers free wi-fi but Disney can't step it up. Oh well, I'll have to use the iphone to get my fix. I just hate that the screen is so little. Going back and forth from the ipone to the ipad, makes me think, "OMG, I must be blind!" when I use the iphone now.

"No!! Do not fire at Will! He is my second in command. Fire at the Sea Duck!!!"

We loved Darkwing, Tale Spin and Duck Tales. Not so much Rescue Rangers but that was mainly because we grew up watching the original cartoons with them and Donald and they just seemed to pale in comparison. I think we watched what came after Darkwing but I don't remember what it was called.

I've been noticing that lately myself.

Yeah, we have Duck Tales too and Rescue Rangers. I really liked Duck Tales. It was my favorite.


My son is so excited that he is jumping off the walls. His behavior was not too wonderful today to say the least. The closer we get on the countdown calendar, the worse it gets.

Hey, that's me too.

I would love to meet Uncle Scrooge some day.

Then I hope you had your Disney Dollar reward point taken away today too.

Am I the only Junie left? I am starting to hear crickets!

Nope! I'm still here. Have decided going to call out of work on Thursday so we can get an early start. Have the some what guilts--NOT! Am not one to call out unless dying, but with everything that's happened in the last couple of months, I deserve an extra day off!!
Anjalee if I'm not able to get back on before I leave "HAVE A SAFE AND EXCITING TIME." Maybe we'll run into each other.

 

[eeyore344]

To the last of us Junies waiting to go "Everyone please be careful and have a good time!" Our time is almost here!

 

[teachermommy78]

I'm still here technically!!! We are almost to the TN border. We drove 2 extra hours tonight due to a map miscalculation and ended up booking a hotel before realizing the mistake. BUT... We are both so wide awake with excitement that we are thrilled we are two hours closer, at least! We just pulled off at the exit for tonight and are getting gas right now. And BONUS...tomorrow, we will only be 12 hours from Orlando, which means we are going to do that last leg in one shot! I booked a room for tomorrow night at the best western (the one on property...I think it is at least?). We will be able to hopefully hit DTD and walmart then so we don't waste any of our first park day! We plan to leave our hotel by 6:00 am tomorrow. Let's hope this works!!!

State line gifts are a HUGE hit. Kids are so excited for the next state line!!! Also, stoplight behavior plan is working! Anyone on red doesn't get gas station dollars for the next stop. No infractions in the first 9 hours!

 

[Mom2_4mouseketeers]

We just went to the mall to buy Disney gift cards for the kids to use on vacation and GASP.....the Disney Store is closing and they have no more gift cards. The closest one now is going to be in VA. We only live 25 minutes from the VA state line, but geez, I am not driving all the way down there from now on. Guess I will have to buy things on line from now on. That really stinks.

We did some last minute errands today. We still need to go to the bank and things like that, but we are basically done. I just have to finish packing and then Thursday we are out of here!

Please tell me you are not talking about the store at Arundel Mills!!!!!!

 

[eeyore344]

Mom2, Have a Happy Disney Birthday!

 

[Mom2_4mouseketeers]

Am I the only Junie left? I am starting to hear crickets!

NOPE! I am still here.....faithfully reading almost every night - I may not post much but I do read!

 

[Mom2_4mouseketeers]

Mom2, Have a Happy Disney Birthday!

Thank you so very much! I keep telling everyone I planned this trip for the kids, but who am I kidding! I planned it for my birthday! DUH!

Either way, enjoy your trip and have the time of your life!

Glad to hear you are traveling safely so far! I am doing stateline bags as well! I know my kids are excited!

I am also doing the "if you don't ask for anything, or try to buy anything in the parks, Mickey brings a prize to your room so when you wake up in the morning you have a present from Mickey." My daughter is so excited she is geting presents from Mickey that she has vowed she isn't buying anything, asking for anything, and she even made a scrapbook page for all the things Mickey is going to bring her while she sleeps! Thank you Walmart for NOT having Disney prices!

I adore duck tales!!! I must be old though, because I don't think I watched the other shoes you mentioned. I think I was watching duck tales in late jr high/high school. Yes. I am that cool.

Hey, that's me too.

I would love to meet Uncle Scrooge some day.

Too funny! Go put yourself in the corner! I always beg my kids go give me a time out, but they never follow through.

You deserve it!!! I'm glad you are taking off!!!

You too!!!

Ooh! Happy birthday!!!

Thank you Walmart for NOT having Disney prices!

That is a great idea!!! The kids' spending money started off as $150 a piece and is now at $50 a piece. I am a bit bummed. We were planning on adding to the Christmas money they each got, but really couldn't afford it. They are also doing pirate's league, which took about $30 from each. We will buy them each a hat and have gotten them a surprise stuffed animal from the Disney store that Scott will sneak into the room upon arrival so they can greet the kids! Those are two must haves that each kid wanted, so they don't have to spend on those. I have a feeling they will each want a light up spinner. Maybe Sophie will want earrings or something.

Well, I was about a freshman in HS when my little brother started watching Duck Tales. A woo who!
