it looks like there won't be any changes in the foreseeable future but i'm keeping my fingers crossed for something down the road.

also, check out the poll on the lefthand side. too funny!

I voted for this: The Hobgoblin lobs an exploding jack o' lantern into the middle of "it's a small world," sending those singing children sky high. Even though I IASW that would be funny!


I would love to see it added to WDW property but can you imagine the cost?

Jenna et al will want to visit the Kennedy Space Center. Michael and my kids might want to go but I know I don't.

Heh. I have total sympathy here. Our very 1st trip to WDW 3 years ago my dh insisted we take a "day off" from disney and visit the Space Center.

I love science and technology and all but our girls were only 6 and 23 months so I was pretty sure they would of preferred, oh just about ANYTHING at WDW, to a bus tour of the space center. It was also my very 1st trip to WDW and I wanted to be totally submersed in Disney for the entire trip.

Nevertheless, I am not a total disney dictator, so we went. The funny thing was, half way through the bus tour, my 23 month old got really mad and hurled her shoe at the head at this perfectly behaved, similar aged, little boy in front of her. Super embarassed and tired of the evil eye from the parents of the little angel (only child/ 1st time parents,need I say more?), I decided to head back to the main complex with my little Stitch monster. I then spent 2 hours on the playground there, cursing my dh and people with perfect children.

Well, wouldn't you know it, the perfect angel and his parents were on the same touring plan as us apparently because I saw them EVERYWHERE in WDW ! Luckily, Sophie's impulse to assault people with her shoes went away once she was at "The Happiest Place on Earth"

To this day, I think my dh thinks I threw the shoe to get off that bus!

Great story and I am with little Sophie. I would have thrown a cannon to get off that tour bus.

I think with a day at Sea World and a day at Aquatica (SW's water park) that's about all I will be able to be pulled away. In fact because we are going to Sea World, I added a day to the trip.

We have all been there with our little s. My son in fact has never thrown a total and complete meltdown fit over a Buzz Lightyear toy.

Lots of changes!

I have to check out your Sea World link.

 

[Trentmom]

Your plans look great

I have not been to Sea World since I was little.

I need to check that out some time

 

[rentayenta]

Lots of changes!

It's a gift. Poor Jenna is going to kill me. I went as far as making the grocery list today.

I have to check out your Sea World link.

It's the link to their Halloween party. Generally I would dream of going off Disney property but it buys me another day of vacation.

Your plans look great

We haven't been in 8 years and that was in San Diego but I am guessing they are similar.

184 days until Mexico!!! ​

DH informed me that he wants to stay more than 4 nights in the 1 bedroom and in fact he'd rather stay just a few nights in the THV as they don't really float his boat. Since when did he get so opinionated when it comes to our trips to WDW? He also said he prefers not to do the DDP which I was vacillating on due to the price increase and lack of value anyway but still. Who even said he could have a say? Oh and when I said we would do Sea World (his idea) and Atlantica (SW's water park) he responded with a sigh and said: that would be 2 days away from Disney and me and the kids want to do Typhoon Lagoon again. What the heck? Is he secretly DISing and researching and planning?

So at this point I might be looking at a triple split stay again but at the same resort! If I don't laugh, I'll cry. Guess I would rather have him share his thoughts before I book vs after.

On a good note when I told him the trip would be 12 days he replied: of course it will be.

 

[Trentmom]

You might want to do a little investigating on the dis

Maybe your DH has a secret identity here

He sounds so DIS like now

Okay, ya caught me....it's me. That's why I called you "Jennifer".

Could you imagine? Maybe that's why he makes endless fun of me for hanging out here? He is trying to keep me off his scent!

Okay, ya caught me....it's me. That's why I called you "Jennifer".

So my husband not only has a secret DIS identity but has an entire other family as well? Screw half, I am taking it all!!!

You didn't OMG Jenny I'm off in 13 days and haven't got anything ready at all yet

Who even said he could have a say?

Watch out, he'll be making grocery lists too soon

 

[pooh'smate]

I am back!!!! Sorry I was gone for so long. My computer was having problems and I have been busy with life. Now I am going back to catch up.

13 days? Soooooo envious! The race will be so cool!


He better not start making lists! The less involved the better. I plan, we go, he pays.


My guess is you haven't started packing yet, right?
