[ladybugmom]

Becky---NO word yet. I am emailing one of my friends who took the class this past Fall. She will most likely have a syllabus (she is like me, she keeps everything!) and I will have her look. Also, I am just going to email the professor. I WILL find out soon

What are your dates again?

Ok--sorry to bug--I'm just anxious I guess. We don't have dates set in stone but were thinking of getting there the Saturday after Thanksgiving and staying a week. Would that be Nov. 27th I think?

Thanks for the links!!!

I think the Fantasyland expansion is going to be awesome. I'm most excited about the Little Mermaid ride and the new Pixie Hollow. It'll be interesting to see how it'll all look when it's done!

Oooooh I can't wait to see the new Fantasyland in a few years...I just love that area, it's so magical (I love all Magic Kingdom...but Fantasyland always brings me back to the days when my family and I visited WDW). Congrats on booking your flights, and awesome that you only had to pay for one of them!!! Isn't today the 4 month mark?? YAY!!!! I'm really hoping to meet up when you come down in May and December...I'll have to look at your schedule to see where you'll be on a weekend, as Frankie and I would love to say Hi! Hope you've been having a great week and have a fun, relaxing weekend!!!

 

[Charlefours]

Hi Becky!!

Gone for a couple days, add a couple pages!! J/J

Congrats on booking!! We share the same philosophy with it too, as I am sure most of us on DIS do! We have to maximize the Disney time!!

Thanks for the great Fantasyland link. That is one of the big questions in my head--what will it be like when we go in September. From everything I have read, they are going to keep shifting things around so those of us going during construction will still have the opportunity to do some of the stuff!

Since you are planning TWO trips--are you getting APs? I just thought about that since you will be going to Disney over 10 days this year!!

I think so, too!! I can't WAIT to see it all once it is completed!!

I know!! I cannot wait!! Thank you!!! Yes, today IS the 4 month mark!! WOW!! The time had flown!! We'll probably go to Downtown Disney the day we get there (22nd)!!

Hee hee!! Yeah--I've been on the DIS a lot this week b/c Claire and I have been home sick for the past 2 1/2 days!! We ran fever and just felt crummy. I think we got whatever Ally had this weekend. Brent ran fever on Tuesday as well. I'm sooo glad we're all feeling better!

Thank you!! Yes--maximizing Disney time is key!!

I wonder what Fantasyland will be like in May, too!! But I'm thinking since it looks like Pixie Hollow will be the las tto be completed that Toontown will be there a little longer. I'm hoping we at least get to see it again in May before it is gone! I'm guessing that they're doing all of the stuff behind where Ariel's Grotto and the Pooh Playground are now first--at least I'm hoping so!! But that is all pure speculation!!

APs--good point! I guess I need to ask my TA what she thinks is best for us!!

 

[ladybugmom]

4 months until our trip!!! Whoo hoo!!!

Off to my MOPS meeting!! Will check in later!! Happy Friday my friends!!

Aww, sorry Becky, that your family has not felt so well this week. The weather at this time of year doesn't help, does it? ----65 degrees one day, then 38 degrees the next.

APs--good point! I guess I need to ask my TA what she thinks is best for us!!

YES....you definitely need those APs! Then you'll feel like you need to get as many trips in as possible to get your moneys worth!

Happy Friday to you as well!

4 MONTHS

I am SOOOO excited to read about your trip!!! Planning our December trip now. I am so Disney Depressed! I want to go back

 

[Charleston Princess]

Happy Friday and Happy Four Months until Disney!

 

[JenAusty]

YAY for four months! I know it probably seems kind of far away but it won't be and soon you will be worrying about things you still need to buy and if you packed everything! hehe I still have 12 months.. pff. hehe oh well.. lots of time to plan.

and thanks for sharing the new fantasyland stuff- I knew they were making some updates but I had no idea! I am excited to see it and curious on how very different it will be. Do you know when this is suppose to be done by?

 

[mommytothreeboys]

FOUR MONTHS!!! Hip-Hip-Hooray!!!!

 

[WizardLarz]

I just finished your '09 TR! I hope someday I find a Princess like you who will love Disney as much as me! I've gone solo the last two years for Star Wars Weekends, and I'm mapping out this next trip. I arrived on Wed. 20th last year and the rain didn't let up untill Mon. 26th.
I must worn you; don't leave the ponchos at home! In general that time of year they have daily rainshowers. During my '08 trip you could almost set your watch by the rain, 3:00 rain started 3:15 the rain ended!
I hope this year the weather will be all Sunshine the whole 11 days I'm there!

Thanks Michelle!! It's weird having us all sick b/c normally we are a very healthy family! We rarely get sick! But this weather doesn't help things--that's for sure!!

4 MONTHS

I am SOOOO excited to read about your trip!!! Planning our December trip now. I am so Disney Depressed! I want to go back

Girl--I totally relate with the Disney Depression!! I felt that for awhile when we got back last May! But at least you know you'll be returning soon!! Are you going to start a PTR for December or finish your TR from Jan. first?!

Happy Friday and Happy Four Months until Disney!

Whoo hoo!!

I know!! Time has been flying so I know it will be here before we know it!!

No problem!! It is supposed to be mostly done by 2012 (everything but Pixie Hollow) and in 2013 Pixie Hollow will be complete--from what I've read!!!!

Hi and to my PTR!!! Glad you enjoyed my May TR!! Yeah--the rain last year was INSANE!!! Believe me after last year we will NEVER be without our ponchos!! I already have BAMA ponchos for me and my hubby and Tinkerbell ponchos for the girls (I need to post pics)!! I'm all for short showers--just not rain the ENTIRE time we're there!!

Happy 4 Months

where did you find Tinkerbell ponchos? Esecially one for Claire? I need to get something for Lily.Happy 4 month mark!

 

[kkfisher]

Hi Becky! I've been following your previous TR and PTRs. I thought I should introduce myself! I love how detailed you are so I have found your reports to be very helpful! We went on our first trip last Sept, and hope to go again sometime this year. I really want to stay at the Poly this next time, especially since we were lucky enough to get a 40% off code. You love it there, right?

I have twin boys that are 5, and a 3 year old little girl. I am in love with Disney, and hope to convince my DH to go back once a year from now on! Hopefully mine will be "on board" like yours is eventually!

Anyway, happy planning! 4 more months! -Kelly
