This PTR needs a name!!! Hope to see you real soon!! Well, not too soon!

How did you get Disney shirts for $3?! That's awesome!! I looked but for my girls they were all regular priced still. That's alright, we don't need ANYMORE!!!

I saw someone started a second Photopass share on the Facebook group, good for you! Like I said, ours is getting so bad, I thought of trying to take over. But the leader had already pre-ordered so, kind of stuck. When you ran one before, did you have everyone upload on certain dates to keep the pics separate? I was thinking the leader on our last one did that and it kept it more organized?

Oh, I am so proud of myself...I just figured out how to multi-quote!! HAHA!!

Last time I did give each person a date. Basically I emailed them the password on the day they could upload. But it doesn't keep pictures seperated though. The photopass site will have the pictures in the order that they were taken. So if 2 families are there the same day, your pictures wil lbe mixed in order through out the day according to the time the picture was taken. I jsut did it seperately so t hat that person loading had some time to work without others on the site as well. The site gets so slow with more pictures. Sadly I am the last to go in my share, so I will be fighting the slowness the most this time around.

How many are in your share? We have 7. Thats more than I actually wanted. But I kept getting request to be in it and then one girl backed out, sort of (she couldn't comit at that time) so I added one more. I wanted to keep it at 6, but I guess I'm a sucker. Anywas I figure since I will only have 2 days of pictures, that a 7th wasn't going to matter too much. Then the girl who had backed out, decided for sure she wanted in, but I told her I couldn't now. And good thing too. I guess she had 2 families and there were 10 in the party. If I had known that in the beginning when she wanted to be added, I would've kept it to 5 families. 10 people can get a lot of pictures.
I wish Disney would get that site to move faster.

Love the passports. how did you do them. Those are really great.

When DH gets home I'll have him PM you the link to making them..there is a special way to print the pages out so they are in the correct order. I am pretty much computer illiterate so I will have him get you started!

Sorry I have missed so much on your PRT, all caught up now but can't remember half of what I read. Your itinerary sounds good, busy, fun, with a day of relaxation perfect. I am so excited to take our youngest DD to the harmony barbershop, reminds me I have to call and get my confirmation of reservation, I miss placed it.

I was going to order some light up toys and stuff for the kids but forgot in being so busy. We do have a ton of glow stick things they can play with hopefully that will be enough to keep them from wanting the way overpriced things they sell. Probably not.

I think someone wrote somewhere that Walgreens has light up stuff and I know that I have seen some at the Dollar Store and Party City, too. This is the first time I am going with more than just glow bracelets. I read a post by someone that they ordered some and it got me going!! Yeah the Harmony Barbershop looks like fun, and I am liking the price too!!

I would just like to announce how proud I am of Ferb! He has managed to use his love of computers to the greater good of Disney!!

He likes to repair computers and he has managed to make quite a chunk of change for our trip, enough that we may not need to dip into our line of credit before our Tax return comes...enough that we may not even need our tax return. Well, we'll see what kind of damage we do shopping at World of Disney before we make any concrete assumptions ...but needless to say..I am very proud of Ferb!!! Good job honey!!

 

[jenseib]

Yay Ferb!!!!

This has been a pretty yucky week!! First the girls were home for a Professional Development day on Monday, which is good...we had some mommy and girls time! Then Wednesday was a snow day...ooookay..more mommy and girls time...then today they both are home sick!! OKAY!! More Mommy and ME Time!!! AAAAARRRGHHH!! Did I mention that I worked last night? Thankfully they let me go home early because I had a feeling they would be home today and I would be without sleep. The problem now is, we are supposed to be going out of town tomorrow for the night to my cousin's son's 1st BDay party. Yeah, I don't think we can go. I saw white spots on Stitch's throat So off to the Dr we go... I am glad that we are hopefully getting this out of our systems before our vacation, though.
I did some Disney shopping yesterday while the girls were at school. It was just the boring necessities shopping. Meds, ziploc bags, underwater camera for the pool, little flashlight for Rapunzel (for dark rides), that kind of thing. It may be boring shopping, but at least it was DISNEY boring shopping!!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

Well, it's strep!! But she is on antibiotics now and hopefully will be better in time for school on Monday. They girls are already going to miss a week next month and they missed a day yesterday. We definitely can't go to my cousin's b-day party and I am really bummed about that!! I haven't seen my Brother since X-mas and his wife is preggos and I need to see that bump!!! Plus, I hate to miss family parties and I miss a lot because of my work schedule...here I sit with a weekend booked off and sick kids keeping me home!! Sorry for the rant..I know it's not a big deal..just bumming me out. Well, where are those lemons...time to make some lemonade I guess!!
I need to get some cleaning done around here and DH is off for the weekend and can help me..maybe we can start making our T-shirts that we have been downloading designs for...yep it's gonna be a project weekend!!

Thanks for joining in! And thank you for the compliment on my family..the genes are from both sides so can't take all the credit, although I do all the clothes shopping..so I get more than half the credit now that I think about it!! Hope we can help each other make the next month go by quicker!!!

 

[teachermommy78]

I am so sorry the girls are sick! And strep is so yucky. Poor little sweetie! But yes, Disney preps need to happen, and this is a nice chunk of time. You ARE going to post tshirt pics, right?

 

[BMC423]

Ok read everything! I hope everyone is feeling better =) I'm from NYC so not that close but not too far from you. @ the comment about the luggage restrictions I've said that plenty of times. I love all your projects can't wait till DS is big enough to do those things with him. All he knows now is that he's going to see Mickey Mouse. Can't wait to see how your shirts turn out, was thinking of making some myself, for the same reasons can't find what I want. TTYS

Meds seem to be working..the white stuff is almost all gone and Stitch is feeling better!! Probably will be going to school tomorrow as well! Rapunzel is okay, just a cold. Can't wait to finish our shirts!!

OMG!!! MAJOR, MAJOR UPDATE!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am right now!!! Ferb said we should go on a cruise with the tax money that we don't need for this vacation since he had made so much from his computer tinkering!!!! It will be just Ferb and I . We figured we would go this spring for a 3 night, hopefully around his b-day in April. Upon investigation we have found that the only ship we both like is the .......yep Disney Dream!!!
But in order to get it for a good price and not have the girls miss school again this year (they would have to go stay with family), it really has to wait for the fall. I was looking at prices and I found a couple that we could take either in November or December. We have a credit with Southwest to use towards the flight and if we book early enough we can get a decent price on that as well!!
I guess you can all tell that I am just a little psyched!! We will wait to find out the amt of our return and then maybe even book before we leave in March!! Well, now I have some more planning to do...just might need to start a new PTR!!!

 

[BMC423]

Thats great! Yay Ferb! So lucky we are thinking about an adults only cruise next year for our 5 year anniversary and I'm excited about that... but I can only focus on one trip at a time. Very excited for you!

I LIKE the way Ferb thinks!!!! You'll have to read my TR when we get back. Hopefully I will have a lot of tips and info for you! I know how you feel! I am jumping out of my skin everyday thinking about this upcoming trip. Booking early is the best way to go with Disney. It only gets higher and higher as you get closer. (something Skip found out ) And even the inside rooms are extremely awesome on the Dream with the new virtual portholes. I am almost jealous we weren't able to get one....almost. LOL! But if we do end up doing another in the future, I will have no probelms at all boking insde.
