The Unofficial Guide to MRYPPNS' WDW Vacation: TR link is up!

[brookelizabeth]

No, No, No. That's an ADR ticker. I make my ADRs on Tuesday

Oooh, I thought you might have had news!

So you gonna share before or after you make them? Or make us play a game and keep us in anticipation???

 

[brookelizabeth]

You posted at the same time as me!

I will be honest...I bought one UG and only read bits and pieces of it, I never noticed the crazy random information in it! Now I want to dig it back out and read.

I cannot believe how big Danica is!!! She's just adorable. And I think she looks just like you in your CBR hat!

Love the bathroom comment. Can you imagine an entire chapter devoted to bathrooms?! I think many of Disney's bathrooms are disguised - sometimes you can't tell there is a bathroom there unless you look very closely! I think it's great!

From one CVO to another, I'm looking forward to the plans...and hearing about all the crazy stuff from the UG's!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I got my 2011 UG too. Will be fun going through it with you. Can't believe how big your kids are! My goodness time flies. They are just adorable!

Funny about the restroom comment. I feel like they are around every corner. But that would be a fun DIS discussion... favorite restrooms in the World.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

I truthfully haven't had a UG since our first trip with the kids in 05! I may actually still have it! I have been contemplating the 2011 edition though!

 

[KathyRN137]

Hooray for the CHEEKS!!

Funny you should mention Jordan, I just mailed him a card today!

It's great to put a face with the name, now I know who I'm msg'g with. And I did mean to comment before, my DH is John too.

Your kids are darling.

I have to admit I've never read a UG. I have the birnbaums, the passporter, and a few others.

Looking forward to reading more

 

[TarzansKat]

Love the post, love your intro as the CVO, and love how big the kids are getting! What cuties.

INTRODUCTION
It’s an old picture but why put up a horrible new picture when I can put up this old cute one?

Very valid point. Love the fact that both kids were hitchikers!

*Chief Vacation Officer - and yes I stole that from another DISer.

love that, may have to steal it

UG funny: Page 3, 2011 ed. A reader wrote in to the UG “I wish you’d discuss restrooms more in the next edition. I found myself constantly searching for one”

Well we know Jordan didn’t write that! LOL I hope this reader has found the DIS by now and has read Jordan’s bathroom reviews!

I seriously thought "flush rating xxx" every time I went in a restroom on this trip

Great intro, beautiful family and I love the "theme" you are going with for this.

 

[DisMomAmy]

Great intros Heidi! I for one, am glad you started this PTR. I think you know this already, but I'm a part-time bookkeeper & my DH is an engineer too!

I love my UGs... I always question whether or not I really "need" a new one, but in the end always buy it!

I seriously thought "flush rating xxx" every time I went in a restroom on this trip

Funny! I have thought of Jordan more than once in the bathrooms of WDW... and other public restrooms for that matter!

 

[Flossbolna]

Great intoduction and that really is a very cute picture of you and your DH! And your kids are just adorable!

I loved your stack of UGs! I got them for nearly every trip, including the first one that then never happened. So I have a 1998 UG! The new 2011 design looks very neat on the cover, very similar to the new style of touringplans.com (I am subscriber, too and I listen to WDW today as well - this was actually the reason why I got my first Ipod, so I could listen to Disney podcasts! )

What a fun complaint! Did this reader expect to find a listing of all bathrooms with descriptions on where to find them??? How can you constantly search a restroom at WDW? Just get a map!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Um, how did I not know you had started this PTR???

Anyway, I am here now and will be back to read later!

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

Great intro! The kids are so cute and getting SO big!!

I have the UG 2009 and love it! I'm debating on whether to get the new edition. Are there a lot of differences?

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that Danica is already 16 months! Where has the time gone?! I also think she looks a lot like you! What a cutie.

Liam is getting so big too but I saw him on the Spectrum Mom's PTR so I guess it's not as surprising to me.

 

[KatMark]

Heidi, love the intros (and how both "babes" made their first visit to Disney). The kids are adorable.

 

[praisehisname]

Wow, I can't believe how big your kids are getting! And so adorable!

 

[mousescrapper]

Laughing away...just too good Heidi...I love your PTR/TR's

the kids are beyond cute and my twins were hitchhikers too during our '98 trip...love the stack of books...and yes I often smerk at some of the UG comments....and the reader comments...where do they find these poeple

you know we must take some Jordan peep pic's while we are there in January..he'd love it

keep it going and man I hope you have a good week....

[MRYPPNS]

I will be honest...I bought one UG and only read bits and pieces of it, I never noticed the crazy random information in it! Now I want to dig it back out and read.

I actually think you have to read it cover to cover to get the humor of it.

Funny about the restroom comment. I feel like they are around every corner. But that would be a fun DIS discussion... favorite restrooms in the World.

Oh believe me it's been discussed on the DIS....at length. My favorite is in Epcot.....behind Figment

I truthfully haven't had a UG since our first trip with the kids in 05! I may actually still have it! I have been contemplating the 2011 edition though!

I still old school....I like having something I can hold sometimes instead of always using the internet.

Hooray for the CHEEKS!!

Funny you should mention Jordan, I just mailed him a card today!


Kathy

Thanks for the reminder....I have a card for him onto of my monitor. Do you know if it's ok to send him printouts of our PTRs?? I might do it anyways.

Thanks Jessica. I haven't gotten Birnbuams since 2001....it's more like a brochure to me...and I cut out all the cute pictures. I really didn't care for the passporter, mostly because I didn't like that almost every picture was of the authors and their kids and everything was based on their likes and dislikes. The UG is the text book of all the Disney guides.

Love the post, love your intro as the CVO, and love how big the kids are getting! What cuties.

Thanks Kat. I love that term CVO....wish I could remember who I stole it from.

Speak up if I stole CVO from you!!

Great intro, beautiful family and I love the "theme" you are going with for this.

Thanks....I tend to theme everything. Must be the Martha Stewart in me.

Great intros Heidi! I for one, am glad you started this PTR. I think you know this already, but I'm a part-time bookkeeper & my DH is an engineer too!

I know, weird huh? Plus we all went to the same University.

Great intoduction and that really is a very cute picture of you and your DH! And your kids are just adorable!

Oh you have to dig out your 1998 edition and share some of it with us!!! We'd probably get a good laugh just over the ticket prices.

Glad there is another WDW Today listener here so if I talk about Sip and Snack you'll know what I'm talking about!

That bathroom reader should hire my DH to go as their guide. He knows where all the bathroom are since I was pregnant on 2 of our trips

Um, how did I not know you had started this PTR???

Anyway, I am here now and will be back to read later!

And I bet you didn't know I was going to WDW in January too!

Great intro! The kids are so cute and getting SO big!!

I have the UG 2009 and love it! I'm debating on whether to get the new edition. Are there a lot of differences?

Not there isn't a ton of differences....they update anything that is new or changed at Disney, change prices and update all the reader ratings and hotel reviews.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that Danica is already 16 months! Where has the time gone?! I also think she looks a lot like you! What a cutie.

I know 16 months! Life can slow down now.

Heidi, love the intros (and how both "babes" made their first visit to Disney). The kids are adorable.

Thanks. Liam hitchhiking was a planned babymoon. Danica crashed in on her trip. Thank god most of the morning sickness was gone by then.

Wow, I can't believe how big your kids are getting! And so adorable!

Thanks....they are both growing like weeds!!

Laughing away...just too good Heidi...I love your PTR/TR's

keep it going and man I hope you have a good week....


J~

thanks Scrappie. It's only Monday and I'm exhusted.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Busy week here in the MRYPPN's household. Today was paperwork day at Liam's pre-school. Tomorrow he starts class....he was none too happy that we didn't stay at pre-school for more then 45 minutes today. Plus I worked today and had a meeting with our family support person. Tomorrow I have to take the kids to an appointment early in the morning, then Liam goes to school, and while he is there I have to take Danica for her 15 month check-up (yea we're late on that ) but at 6am I get to make my ADR's Online!!! I'm only making 4 of them plus 2 back-ups and it's only 3 different restuarants. Figure that one out Miss Brook.

 

[TarzansKat]

Now I'm totally intrigued as to what restaurants they are.

Good luck with all your running tomorrow!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Thanks for the reminder....I have a card for him onto of my monitor. Do you know if it's ok to send him printouts of our PTRs?? I might do it anyways.

I haven't totally kept up with Jordan's TR, but I don't think we're supposed to send printouts from the internet at this point... I'd hold off a bit on that. But thanks for the reminder for me too... I still haven't sent him anything!

Good luck tomorrow... I have one more day to go!
