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

[TarzansKat]

That or we are like cats and can't resist things that light up!

Sometimes it's hard to discern between the kids and adults at our house.

Ahem...have you met my DH?

 

[lori1043]

Howdy!!!

Keepin' up!!

I found the M&M's and I like mint chocolate stuff but not those. I cannot find the Indy ice cream treats!!! Still lookin'!!

Kids finished SAT's today and we are releived!! Now for the results, which we'll get in 2 months!

See ya! Lori

 

[pooh'smate]

Went grocery shopping this weekend and couldn't find the Indiana Jones MM's or the ice cream sandwiches. I looked at Target, WalMart, and Bakers. I was so looking forward to those. I will have to look again this weekend.

 

[nts4wdw]

I will not give up my quest for the M&Ms. They will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine!

BTW, we have the Star wars spoons at our house too. If I remember coreectly, we had to eat alot of Rice Krispies!!!

 

[Native NYer]

Hi Jackie!!! I gotta catch up.

 

[MouseEarsForLife]

Hiya! Just poppin' in because I feel like I hardly ever post! Anywas, I'm really excited that we're about 4 weeks left to go. I've been making.. planning sheets! Since I already planned everything in my PassPorter I've been copying notes and etc. to a few Excel sheets.

Are you going crazy too, or is it just me?! So close, yet so far!

We are going down at the same time too--AND I CAN HARDLY STAND IT!!! THE WAITING IS KILLING ME!!! But, one of my favorite parts is coming up too--all the packing and organizing!!! Yeah! To me, almost as good as chocolate!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Things that light up are fun! My downfall is sparkly things...

I like sparkly things too! I bought a new pair of sunglasses last night and had to go with the ones that had some rhinestones!

Love the new suit and flip flops and bag! You will be stylin'! And I love when that packet of travel goodies arrives! It is so fun to have it in your hands, it does make it seem really really really real!

Allyson

Thanks! It is seeming really really really real now -- to the point where I am wondering if I will get everything done beforehand!

Hi! I saw the mint chocolate ones, but since I am the only one that likes mint in my house, I opted for the regular chocolate ones. Now, I am glad I did!

Went grocery shopping this weekend and couldn't find the Indiana Jones MM's or the ice cream sandwiches. I looked at Target, WalMart, and Bakers. I was so looking forward to those. I will have to look again this weekend.

I wonder why some places aren't getting them? That's so strange!

I will not give up my quest for the M&Ms. They will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine!

We ate a LOT of Rice Krispies too!

Pixie Dust for your quest!

Hi Jackie!!! I gotta catch up.

Hi Jen! What's new with you? Besides too much glitter and a new apartment?

I am definitely going crazy with excitement! I can't wait!

We are going down at the same time too--AND I CAN HARDLY STAND IT!!! THE WAITING IS KILLING ME!!! But, one of my favorite parts is coming up too--all the packing and organizing!!! Yeah! To me, almost as good as chocolate!

I love all the packing and organizing! I wish it were time for me to start all of that!

It has been a crazy busy week here at Chez Charleston Princess! The end of the school year is always like this, but I don't feel like I have had a chance to breath, much less DIS! I told Charles this morning that it has been 60 hours since I have had a chance to do some serious DISing. Is it sad that I have been keeping track of that?

Both kids had field day this week, Thursday was our 5th grade Parent Night where all of our upcoming students get to visit with their parents, and yesterday I had a meeting that lasted all day long, followed by dinner at my parents'.

So, to make a long story short, I wanted to post Thursday when I hit one month; then, I wanted to post yesterday wnen I hit 30 days, but now I will simply post:

29 DAYS UNTIL WALT DISNEY WORLD!

I just can't wait, but there is still so much that I want to do! I haven't made a Countdown Calendar; I need to finish Epcot passports; and of course, all the organizing and packing that will need to be done. I am hoping that I will have a chance once school is out which calls for another:

10 SCHOOL DAYS LEFT!!!

Last night, my mom and I ran to Kohls. I bought new tennis shoes, new sunglasses (with rhinestones), and some clothes for Connor. Now, I think we are all set on clothes except Charles needs some new t-shirts and Connor needs some socks. I am so OCD that no one is allowed to wear any of their new clothes until Disney. I justify that by telling myself that Connor is the worst for getting stains on his clothes -- I want the first stains to be Disney stains.

Not sad at all! That's perfectly normal....right?

I did this with DF with some of the clothes for the cruise. He is awful with stains and he needs to look nice! That is not OCD at all, you just want your family to look presentable in Disney.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Yay for 29 days!!!

Wow...sounds like you are busy, busy, busy! Is that how it will be till school is over?

Glad to know I am not the only one

For the most part, it will be like this from here on out.

This, according to the calendar, was supposed to be the quiet week!

 

[stagemomx3]

I'm jealous of the only 10 days of school left. I have 21!

 

[julezdisney]

I LOVE your your PTR and have been reading off the links from page 1. I think you have officially SOLD on planning our first WDW trip after our DLR/DCA trip in October! But the timing will be tricky because our first trip to Orlando will be for the opening of Hogwarts at Universal in late '09!!

Well, whatever, but I think it's safe to say that you can claim yourself responsible for beginning someone else's future planning obsessions!

So... great writing and thanks(?)!!

 

[TarzansKat]

Yah! CharlestonPrincess is back!

Don't you just love getting new clothes before vacation? I'm trying to hold off and be good, but I know it's coming!

And to all those searching for Indy M&Ms, another place to look is Walgreens. This past week, the small bags were two for $1.

Back on topic, I can't believe you have less than a month!

 

[jordanyosh]

Less than a month....

Haha I feel your pain completely! But I, too, am exceedingly excited to be packing and organizing. I may even put some stuff in my [ ahem- empty] binder! Whoo-hoo! I have the suitcase out and it's all I can do to keep myself from packing.

Charleston Princess- you are so lucky to only have 10 days of school left. Here, there's about 15 plus 4 days of finals.
It's getting so exciting to be 28-ish days out. Like I said, it's really ll I can do to stop myself from packing right now!

I hope we make it!
