The Smith's "Yes We Are Pulling DD Out of School Twice This Year" PTR!

[Charlefours]

Hi! I am new to your PTR. Love the clothes you have sewn your daughter. I am trying my hand at making a few things for my DD for her birthday trip.

Your daughter is adorable!!

Ariel is suppose to be on her legs with Prince Eric in the Adventureland Gazebo. She will move back to Fantasyland but I am not sure if she will appear with or without her legs.

on over and thank you!

What are you thinking about making for your DD?

Is it unreasonable to fly down to Orlando just to try and catch Ariel in her grotto? I never got to see her there! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Absolutely not! We've visited with Ariel in her grotto three out of four trips and I am still sad!

Guys I have to tell you that our friend JenB...whom I've never met or spoken to...was able to make me feel 100% better last night with a simple photo. Thanks again Jen!

Who wants to hear the completely stupid thing I just did which made me throw up??!?! (I know that sounds tempting!!!!)

I got home from work and there was a DING on SW. $99 It was only good for my flight home but fine. So I cancel my original flight home, book the DING fare and woo hoo now have $90 in SW credits


OR SO I THOUGHT

I went to put the info in my Blackberry and realized the flight number changed. Hmmm that's weird given that I had booked the exact same flight. Here in lies the problem. I booked TWO FLIGHTS FROM MANCHESTER TO ORLANDO. Yup...I wasn't coming home I was going there twice

I immediately call SW and get an angel on the phone

OR SO I THOUGHT

She immediately tells me that she can fix the error at it will be ok. Um, ya...she was lying. She couldn't fix my error. She can just tell me how to cancel the DING and book a new flight. LADY I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!!!

SOOOOOO if my flights weren't expensive enough, I then had to rebook them at $20 a person more than I originally paid.

But wait...I had an epiphany. All my DINGS always just say "from Manchester" (didn't realize that until tonight) So I go into Ding and change my home airport to Orlando. Amazing...there is a $99 Ding from Orlando to Manchester listed. YES, I won't lose the $60!!!!!! So i go to book that.

SOLD OUT for all flights on June 1st.

Yup...so I just made a $60 mistake. I was sobbing like there was no tomorrow. Randy is no help as he just kept saying "it's only $60...it's only $60" Guess he doesn't get the principal that we are now spending $375/person to get to Orlando. UNHEARD of fares!!!!!! And that ladies and gentlement is why I am going to puke

If anyone wants to send any airfare vibes that I end up a least getting some of it back in a credit, it would be much appreciated

In more exciting news....

 

[sohappy]

sorry about the airfare! I haven't looked at kayak a single time since I booked. I do not want to know that it is cheaper (and nothing I can do about it). OK, I lied, I just checked and rates from LR are up around 400.

Are you driving to the airport or can your mom drop you guys off? If she can, maybe you could fly back to a different airport with a better rate? I don't know a lot about these things since our nearest 2nd airport is 2 hrs away!

So did the toothfairy bring "tink gifts" or just plain old money?

We have to drive ourselves so that it out unfortunately. That was still the cheapest fare currently but that's because it's only 45 days out

Aisling got it into her head that the tooth fairy brings gold coins. Luckily the US has rarely used $1 gold coins so I got a bunch ahead of time (and she got an extra $5 for being the first tooth )


45 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Completely forgot about this. Kingdom Keepers fans....my KK3 came in last week. $12 on Amazon for the hardcover. I have books out from the library so I might just wait and read it on our trip.

Here are some pics from Easter

Love the Disney re-usable bag! I purchased the same one, in addition to a CARS bag, and classic Mickey bag, 2 weeks ago for $1.49 each at the Disney store!!

I'm packing them for our trip!!!

1st off...how excited are YOU right now????? 5 days?!?!?

The easter bunny couldn't find the little bucket that she normally gathers eggs in so Disney bags it is!!! I got mine for 1.49 too....which reminds me that I need to run up there and see if them have more. A friend wanted them.

I haven't finished two yet.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the airfare issues! I sure to do hope the prices go down so you can get some of your money back! Here's some airfare pixie dust!

And was this Aisling's first tooth?! She looks so cute!

Well get going lady!!!

Thanks for the pixie dust. The airfare actually went UP again since Friday so I guess I should be happy that it wasn't MORE than $60 at this point.

That was Aisling's first tooth to go. She has 3 more really loose. I'm anticipating some funny looking Photopass pics with 4 teeth gone!

Don't you know I need to move girl! I DO NOT need distractions! The good news (for now) is that it isn't on Kindle, so I won't get it for a while- maybe borrow from the library. I won't be able to read a "real" book anymore. I am spoiled!

I am so sorry! I know how upset you already were about how expensive the flights are. Hoping some good airline karma comes back your way!

How exciting!!!!!!

45 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We did $2 bills but they are really hard to find too. Luckily, she hasn't lost any teeth since the first two!

WOO-HOO for 45 days!!!!!

 

[praisehisname]

So sorry to hear about the airfare mess-up. On a brighter note, I loved Aisling's Easter outfit you made!

OH I didn't make that Easter outfit...Miss Stacy made the skirt (it was actually the skirt she wore to the WISHES Dessert Party- I was THRILLED that she wanted to wear it for Easter). We just got a new petti and pink sweater (since the original backless top wasn't exactly "church appropriate)
