BTW, cute clothes, and what a great deal on the stuff from Old Navy! I really need to start deciding what I'm going to wear on our trip, which is officially 90 days away. I made our ADR for 'Ohana for Liam's birthday this morning, which reminds me I need to update my PTR.

2 words.... Face Book! LOL! I got sucked into a few games on there. Well that, and I've been busy with our kitchen remodel for the past month. As I type, our new tile floor is being installed. I hope to update my PTR more regularly once the kitchen's done.

Face Book is very addicting! I've gotten so many of my friends here addicted. It's awesome! And wow on the remodel! Hope everything is going smoothly! How exciting! I hope you post pictures of the before and after. I would love to see!!

So, based on Park hours that my sneaky friends got ahold of for me ( ) I revised my Itinerary and I'm even happier than I was before with it. I also took out Richard Petty, added another park day in it's place and we'll be doing Segway tour at EPCOT that day Hopefully nothing else will change. We'll see after Saturday when I make my ADR's if I get the ones I want on the days I have them scheduled for. *crosses fingers*

Your schedule looks good -- I think you'll like the Segway tour. We did the Ft. Wilderness Segway tour and that was cool. I want to do the Epcot one, too.

 

[Trentmom]

Your schedule looks great. I need to re do mine now that we know the hours

So excited to hear how you both like the segway tour

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Looking good! All you have to do now is get up bright and early on Saturday and secure those ADR's!!!! Best of luck with that! I have to do two sets for my split stay...so I'm on Thursday and next Tuesday! But, I know what I want, so hopefully I'll be able to get them! After they are all made, all that's left for now is to tweek the schedule according to dining times!

Thanks Marsha. Glad to hear a positive review about the Segways. Did you feel like you were going to fall off the Segway or run into anyone else? That's what I'm most afraid of

Thanks Kelly! Yes you do! Lets see it!

I'm a bit nervous about it. Those other ppl on the tour better watch out for me 'cause I'm probably gonna have a Segway accident

Thanks! Right! I'm nervous about making my ADR's. I will feel SO much better once all of that is done!! Thanks for the luck. I think I'll need it when I try for Le Cellier CP. So since you have a split stay you have to wait to do the other ones? I would think you can do them all on Thursday since it's 90 + 10 for resort guests. I would try to make them all on Thursday if I were you so you don't have to worry about possibly not getting something you really want and having to wake up really early again for more ADR's. KWIM? Hope you get everything you want!

I hear you on the Le Cellier thing. I'm not trying to get it for dinner or for CP...just a regular lunch and in a trial run (to see if availability comes up) there has been nothing available!! But, I'll see on Thursday. All the CM's I have spoken to said I'd have to wait to book the second half until the 90 day mark for that check in?? I think that's dumb since I'll still be on Disney property, just in a different resort! I am CERTAINLY going to try to do them all on Thursday anyway! I'll see what happens. I am planning on getting up and doing online ressies then what I don't have luck with, calling at 7!! Thanks for the well wishes! I hope you get all you want...we will all be discussing what we got soon!

Ugh!! I hope it's different for both of us when we go to try and get our actual ADR for Le Cellier. *fingers crossed* I think that's dumb too that they told you you have to wait for your other 90 day mark just to make those ADR's. I would for sure try to get them all on Thursday. I hope you can make them all that day. Thanks for the well wishes as well Can't wait to hear what everyone ends up with

Wonder which sneaky friend that could have been...

Looks good. I'm interested in hearing about the Kennedy Space Center.

but that's why you love me!!

there's no telling.

Cool. You know I'll take plenty of pictures and video

 

[Leger13]

Okay, so these aren't exactly purchased for the trip itself but I just got them and they will both be used for/on our trip so I felt it was appropriate to post about them here so here we go.

First up, I got a Sony Handycam with a 60gb hard drive. Can't wait to really try it out! I'll be using it on Saturday for sure. We got tickets to go to the Bush NASCAR race. I can't wait to see what this thing can do!

It's really tiny so it will be easy to carry around the parks with us

I also got an external hard drive to put my videos on that I didn't take a picture of.

Today, Chris went and traded in my '06 Honda Civic for an '09 Honda Accord EX Coupe. I'm in love!!!

We will be driving this car down to Orlando in December for sure.

So there you have it folks. My major purchases for the week. It's been a good one so far. Hope everyone else is having a great week!

I will be up with you thursday morning... You brew the coffee, I will bring the donuts

awesome purchases girl

It must be great having new car and that new car smile

That is going to be great to drive down to Florida

Thanks!

Yeah, I LOVE the new car *SMELL* (I think that's what you were going for instead of smile)

Yeah I'm very excited about it. Chris' truck sucks gas like crazy so this will for sure save us at least $50 on gas on the way down and back.

 

[OrangeBlossom15]

Love the new car ! I used to have that same Stitch magnet until someone snatched it Was it a surprise that your DH got it or did you know?
