YAY for Mickey Mail!​

Wow! I had a lot to catch up on, and I was just here two days ago!

The girls are ah-DOR-ah-BULLLL in their dance outfits! I have GOT to find a dance place here that takes 2.5 year olds!

Bummer about the nail polish! I'm impressed Brent got it mostly out. That stuff is the devil to clean.

You have a GREAT TA! Your care package is really nice! Sure makes it seem real, doesn't it?

Oh I almost forgot...you had asked on FB about Tiana. Get ready to do some serious stalking. She is out intermittently from 10-5, which sounds great in theory. But her line gets extremely long very fast. When the queue fills up, they cut it off and don't let anyone else in line until Tiana and Naveen are gone. Then you are out of luck until the next time they are back. But the problem is, the line can fill up and be closed off for up to 45 minutes or so before they come back. So you could get there 40 minutes early for the next session and the line could ALREADY be closed. So basically you have to either test your luck or be there really, really early, which is what we ended up doing after missing out 3-4 times. But it was strangely very crowded last week, so it may be different your week, but the CMs said she has been wildly popular because she is so new. And also, the two of them are awesome. Very entertaining, in character, and great with the kids. I don't think they stopped talking to Bella once, and she was giggling the entire time. So it's worth it! Hope that helps!

I hope the excitement dies down by December. I bet it will, since Rapunzel will be out by then. Caroline LOVES Princess and the Frog, and I bet she'll love to see them in person (she wasn't a fan of any characters the last time, when she was 13 months old). I want to see her get really excited to see some of the characters, and right now, Snow White and Princess Tiana are my best bets!

Oops, I forgot. I posted a picture of Caroline on FB, and I tagged you in it so you would be sure to see it. It's a really cute Mary Poppins-themed outfit that I found at WalMart. Come to think of it, I should have posted it here in case anyone else was interested.

Yay for Mickey Mail! How cool your TA adds all those extras.

I just saw your FB post! We'll be arriving at the WL on the 4th, we're just going to miss you again! I think you checked in the day we checked out of the Poly last year!!

 

[ladybugmom]

Wow you had a very eventful Mother's Day . I'm glad the polish came out of the carpet. And your car? I would have cried too. I'm glad the day got better though .

The pictures of the girls are so pretty. They have the prettiest blue eyes and long eyelashes. I can imagine it took two hours to get the pictures done with the little ones.

Mickey Mail . Your TA does such a good job on you travel package. She really makes sure the magic starts early .

11 DAYS

Online check-in Wednesday

Thank you, Dana!! Have you done online check-in before?! Does it work well?

The girls are so cute in their dance costumes -- I love the one with them admiring themselves in the mirror.

What a way to start your Mother's Day! Yikes! Glad the day turned around though, and I know you are going to have a great time at Beauty and the Beast!

Thanks Jackie!! Yes, I'm thankful that the day got better for sure!! Can't wait to see B&B!!

First of all Happy late Mothers day. It sounds like you had a great day (minus the couple mishaps in the morning). Second, you have such a wonderful travel agent for doing all of that for you! I just love getting Mickey mail it makes the trip so real when you get it. You only have a little less than two weeks left!!!

Thank you!! Yes, my TA is the BEST!!! 11 days!!!

Our recital is the first weekend in June (we always have it on a Friday night and Sun afternoon).

Love all the stuff your TA sent you!!!

Thanks Meghan!! My TA is awesome!!

 

[ladybugmom]

I love your Mickey Mail!! I can not believe you are so close to being in Disney

Angela is the best TA I could ask for. Thanks again for letting me know about her

Abby's recital is on her last day of school...Friday May 21st She has a school performance that morning then recital that night. I was hoping to be in the Saturday or Sunday performance. Oh well, at least both of her dances are on the same night

I was wondering, can someone give you their PIN number, or does it have to be the same person? I could see if my other PIN would work with you...not sure it would though

PS: I have a feeling that we will get free dining in December again. I think (for us at least) it ends up being cheaper than the 40% off.

Angela is the BEST!! And no problem--I tell anyone and everyone I can about her--it makes the planning process sooo much easier!!

I don't think you can let someone use your PIN code b/c it is attached to your name--but thanks for thinking of me!! You are so sweet!!

Oooh--do you mind sharing your math that shows free dining being a better deal?! B/c we have the same # of people in our family and are staying at the same palce!

Love the dance pictures! Reminds me of when my DD was in dance.

What a way to start out Mother's Day! I'm glad it got much better for you.

What great Mickey Mail you got! Your TA sounds awesome!

Thanks!! My TA IS awesome!! The best for sure!!

Thanks Andrea!! I know what you mean about all the excitement--that's a little crazy--not sure why they can't tell you a time like they do all the other characters if you just ask?!

Thanks for the pic of Caroline! What a CUTE outfit!! I made a special trip to my Walmart today and they had nothing like that at all. Bummer!!!

Joni!! It's so good to see you back on the DIS!!! I've been missing you!! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!

I have missed you too!!! I have 2 updates up, so happy reading! And my Mother's Day was good all things considering. I have all the info posted.

Oh! I know you have been super busy, but will you still be able to be the kids fairygodmother?

 

[klacey1]

Love Mickey mail!!! You have an amazing TA-- it makes the service so worth it when they make planning so easy for you AND go above and beyond!

OH girl, just ignore my crazy scatterbrained self

I am in finals right now...Aiden has 102 fever with poopie pants ... and I am trying to coordinate my in-laws with this trip. I know you must be going through the same thing with your May trip. I just did not add right. It is about $200 cheaper to get the 40% off instead of free dining! So that is great..means that we will both get 40% off if you do the bounce back!!!

This is our break down for the vacation.

5 nights with 40% off at the WL
3 days of park tickets
1 night of MVMCP
5 days of regular dining

Our plan is to not do a park on check in day. Do EPCOT with CP package, Do MVMCP and go to MK at 4pm that night (we will use the VMCP ticket like we would a park ticket for that day---so we will not have a WDW park ticket for that day), DHS to see Osborne, then last full day at MK with BBB apt. I am sure it will all change once the hours and EMH come out

I taped Glee and I am going to watch it tonight When I should be studying

 

[leamom2princesses]

The girls look sooo cute in their dance outfits Becky and hooray for Mickey Mail!!

Sorry about the nailpolish and bumper fiasco. I'm glad it all worked out in the end and you and your Mom had a great day!

 

[Charlefours]

for Mickey Mail!! Angela is just fabulous--I am so thankful to be using her too.

Oh! I know you have been super busy, but will you still be able to be the kids fairygodmother?

Yes!! I saved the message you wrote me on FB with what you were wanting for each child. I'll print it out and put it in my trip binder!!

Love Mickey mail!!! You have an amazing TA-- it makes the service so worth it when they make planning so easy for you AND go above and beyond!

Yes I do!! She's so great!!

Oh no!! I'm so sorry to hear that Aiden isn't feeling well--poor guy!! I was thinking that Angela had told me that 40% at a Deluxe was a better deal than free dining.

NICE!! It sounds like a great plan!!

Oooh--LOVE Glee!! Let me know how you like it!!

Thanks Leanne!!! Yes, it ended up being a great day!!

She sure is!! Oh--and I wanted to let you know that I still plan on sending Lilian a postcard via her "Fairy Godmother"!!!

 

[shelbys mommy]

Oh Awesome!!!! Thank you so much!!! They will love it!!!!

 

[cinderella crazy]

Woohoo for Mickey Mail!!!​

I love all the extra things your TA sent you! How thoughtful!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Hi Becky!

I'm all caught up now....I admit it's hard for me to get back on the boards right after I get back from vacation.

Your trip is so close...HOW EXCITING! Love all the shopping purchases and Mickey Mail!

Your bedroom looks great! I love the bedding...so pretty.

We were at MK on Saturday and Toontown is still open. There is a long wall from Ariel's Grotto to the entrance of Toontown. It's not bad though...it's decorated and cute! Everything else in Fantasyland is open.
