The Pursuit of Disney Magic (June 7-14, 2008) ~ UPDATED 9/30 pg. 191

OK.... I brought in the mail.

Now I'll dust the plants as they all seem to be fakers.

.....ummmm....I wonder if Jackie has any of those Indy M&M's left....<I'll just poke around a bit.......since no one's home>

 

[Lady Lallie]

Don't disturb the Indy Picture under her pillow!

 

[TarzansKat]

Or the one taped up inside the kitchen cabinet!

So when CP gets home,we all get to anticipate Day 1..... Maybe we should start a TR countdown!

If I had room in my signature I'd add a ticker.

If I had room in my signature I'd add a ticker.

It looks like your current tickers might fit side-by-side. If you could do that, you'd have room for another.

Just wanted to welcome you home! Sorry we didn't see you anywhere. Hopw you had a magical time and I can't wait to hear about it.

Oh Jackie I ahven't posted or Dis'ed too much lately and i am noticing your trip is almost over!!

Hoping , while i sit here, getting ready for a fun filled weekend working , that you are totally enjoying the last monets strolling through some park on your second to last day and last night in Disney. I hope much Disney magic has touched you and your family and that you can carry that peace throughout the rest of the year(or at least the rest of summer). Yeah, there is a post Disney funk we can get into, but I hope you have more of a lingering effect and that magic stays with you.

I think it was smart not to plan too much. Our last trip was very planned and we had a BLAST, but it can be distracting. Next time, we will be not so "planny" . I even planned downtime, soooo worth it.

On another note, we told the kids about the cruise NEXT December. They are thrilled and NOW they can help save by putting any change they find in the 'Disney bin'(that is the name of the 10 gallon water jug we decorated to save for Disney trips). And won't ask "but why?, we don't have a trip planned!". Now we do.

Cannot wait to read the TR!!

You are probably on the road right now on the way to Disney World! I hope you are already having a great time! Looking forward to hearing about your trip when you get back.

We were on the road! We had a great time! Now back to reality!

Have a great trip Jackie!

We did! I didn't want it to end!!!

Right about now you're probably heading to dinner at CP. I wish I was heading to dinner at CP.

::sigh::

If only wishing made it so.

Actually, we changed our reservation (we did that a couple of times) and were heading to Kona Cafe for dinner.

I wonder how many times she rode POTC and HM today..... so far...

Unfortunately, POTC was closed -- but there was definitely Haunted Mansion riding!

Right?

I wanna be in Dinneyworld RIGHT NOW!

Ahem.

Hissy fit complete.

I wanna be in Disneyworld RIGHT NOW, too!

Have you tried the 3D? I have, but it is kinda slow and really hard to get the hang of to navigate. It took 2 or 3 tries before I finally figured how to get a true 90 degree view w/a skyline but it's pretty neat. I had made it a goal to go to every park every day "with" Jackie but I've just been too busy! LOL. Maybe tonight I'll explore more of the Magic Kingdom anyway!

What a cute idea! I wonder if it will help my Disney Blues to do that???

OK.... I brought in the mail.

Now I'll dust the plants as they all seem to be fakers.

.....ummmm....I wonder if Jackie has any of those Indy M&M's left....<I'll just poke around a bit.......since no one's home>

Did you find them? I couldn't decide if it looked like any were gone!

Don't disturb the Indy Picture under her pillow!

Or the one taped up inside the kitchen cabinet!

Oh, you guys know me too well!!!

So when CP gets home,we all get to anticipate Day 1..... Maybe we should start a TR countdown!

If I had room in my signature I'd add a ticker.

Oh, I hope my TR lives up to the anticipation!

Just wanted to welcome you home! Sorry we didn't see you anywhere. Hopw you had a magical time and I can't wait to hear about it.

We had a magical time (as always) and definitely did not want to come home! Can't wait to compare notes on SWW!

Lori, thanks for all your sweet thoughts! Hopefully, all of our memories will sustain us until we head back!

I am not sure if I liked the no set plan this time -- in some aspects, I don't feel like we did enough. Once I digest the trip and write about it, I may realize we managed to do more than I thought.

I love that the kids are excited about the cruise! We are still undecided about what we are going to do next year -- I think I like the parks too much to give up our week at WDW.

Are you going to do a PTR for your cruise?

 

[MomofCKJ]

Welcome back! I'm looking forward to hearing about your week!

Thank you! We had a great time overall with only a couple of glitches!

That will only make for a better TR!

That's what I thought in the back of my mind -- adds drama and conflict and all!

I just don't want to sound like I am complaining during it -- we really had a fabulous time, and I can't wait to be back there!

I did get your maps and times guides -- I'll put those in the mail this week. Charles was funny -- he kept double-checking to make sure I picked those up for you.

We won't think you're complaining...anyone that has every gone anywhere with family knows that everyone has a couple annoyed/PO'd moments....had a few myself on Friday at Storyland.

Happy Father's Day to Charles!....he's too funny...thank him for me

 

[Charleston Princess]

I am hoping that writing about the trip keeps the Disney Blues away. It's so hard to come back to the real-world. I liked just heading somewhere for dinner every night, and now I have to think about what I am going to cook. Wahhhhh!!!!

This is true -- especially when you add in the heat, intense amounts of walking, and a preteen girl and her younger brother.

Happy Father's Day to your DH, also!

I know! It's just not fair, they should have a reality re-entry program once you leave WDW. It's too harsh to go cold turkey!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

WELCOME BACK!! It is definitely tough to re-enter the real world with cooking, laundry, cleaning... YUCK! If it's any consolation, we can't wait to hear about the trip and help you relive the memories!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Jackie, have you checked out our new "chat" thread on the community board? Tink made is this week so we could all keep up on the chit chat and not have to read 50 pages on 15 different threads! The link is my sig.
