Tomorrow!! Nikki's going to the world!

[princess-rn]

Hey! I'm glad you are having fun! Lively?? Us???



Of all the restaurants we picked, that is the one I am most excited about. We are TOTAL meat eaters. Especially if it's grilled. I also can't wait to see the water pageant. That's another thing on my list of things I haven't ever did.
I am hoping my 5:50 ressie will be about right to see the pageant and the fireworks. It will get darker earlier then, so I don't know.

Now I've never been to Ohanas, so I'm sorry if you don't like it!

I promise not to be mad at YOU if we don't like Ohanas. Although, I think we will love it. Many people have said great things about it!

 

[blue_river]

I do have pictures. I will get them scanned and posted. We usually start them around October and make enough to pay for Christmas. I decided if we started a bit earlier, we'd have fatter wallets for disney!!! Momma likes her money!

Looking forward to seeing them. What a great idea!

I wanna go NOW!!! Yesterday they had Disney on the Travel Channel for about 4 hours! Woohoo! I was lovin life. They had one program-Undiscovered Disney. It talked about all the extras you can do. Did you know you can take surfin lessons at Typhoon Lagoon. I thought this would be awesome for the boys to do. I'm checkin into it today. What a nice surprise that would be for them.

Yes, I read about the surfin lessons but you have to be up very early for that

Not going to happen with my family

I think that would be great fun for you boys! Be sure to let us know what you find out!

 

[ILMICKEY]

Woohoo!!!! Looky looky what I got in the mail Saturday!!

Slowly but surely things are coming together! I'm so glad I bit the bullet last week and bought them before The Disney Group raised the prices!

Must have been my disney senses!

The guys are discussing who gets what ticket. Of course I am tinkerbell . That should go to the kid with the Norwegian braids--doncha think?

Really I am going to have them added to our room keys so everything is on the same card-makes sense huh?

But anyway-
I got my tiiiiickets- I got my tiiiiikets!! I'm goin to Diiiizney- I'm goin to Diiiizney!!

Here you go!

It was quite expensive for what it is. $125 per kid! I think I'd rather send them to Disney Quest. They aren't morning people either.

Woohoo for you!!!

Funny how little things like this makes us so excited

I haven't received our package stuff from my travel agent yet

 

[blue_river]

Here you go!

Wow!! Your crafts are great

I wish I was crafty

Have your boys been to Disney Quest before? I'm sure they'll love it!

 

[ILMICKEY]

Wow!! Your crafts are great

Thanks Blue!! I wish I could quit my job and do them full time.

Have your boys been to Disney Quest before? I'm sure they'll love it!

Nope, never been! I think that's what I'm going to do for them. Give us a little alone time.

 

[blue_river]

Thanks Blue!! I wish I could quit my job and do them full time.

Maybe one day you'll be able to

Nope, never been! I think that's what I'm going to do for them. Give us a little alone time.

I've said this before, but it really is too bad we aren't going at the same time.

You and DH can go to pleasure island while they hang out at DQ!!

 

[ILMICKEY]

I've said this before, but it really is too bad we aren't going at the same time.

That would be A LOT of fun! Maybe some day we can plan that!! I know in approximately 2 years I will have to take Mozart down to drop him off! Fred won't be able to go with me, we could do a girls only trip!!

That sounds like a lot of fun

Have your boys started back to school yet? Just wondering how that is going.

 

[ILMICKEY]

No, they haven't started school yet. They go back September 4. Sport has been doing football practice everyday. Poor kid is whooped! When do the girls start?

Buying school clothes sure does take away from the disney fund!


Wow, you are down to days now. How cool!! Are you getting really excited?

 

[Simba22]

We got our MNSSHP tickets in the mail a couple weeks ago and they have the same designs on them! I was so excited to get them! Now I'm just counting down until our DME stuff gets here...thats when the excitement REALLY begins!!!

 

[ILMICKEY]

It's so freakin exciting to come home from work all exhausted and stressed only to find tickets!!!

Yaaaaaay!

I didn't know you started a pre report! I will check it out. Mine has become very desolate. But then again I really haven't posted anything new. Just tickets.

 

[ILMICKEY]

Road Trip!!!!!!

I am trying to make the plan (in my head). It never really goes just as planned. Some force of nature has it's hand in my Disney cookie jar, whaddya do??

The boys get out of school at 2:30-home by 2:45. Can we please be on the road by 3:30???

We are taking a different route this time~~through Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. I can't seem to remember if Virginia was in there or not.

Guess I better double check that.

I really want to drive right through the night.
Coffee!!

Lot's and lot's of coffee.

Or in Fred's case~~Mountain Dew....The syrup from Hell!!

We can take turns driving, if he lets me.

OT-Fred bought a new truck this year. It's a nice one-Dodge Ram 1500..Mega Cab!

I have driven it once!

If I was the one driving it--this would have never happened!

Back to the road trip!
If we can make it, we should be at the Florida border by 6:30. That's 15 hours. Another 3 to get to Daytona.

Mind you-this is going to be Thanksgiving Day. Hopefully something will be open to eat.

Or it's burritos from the Gas~n~Go!!

We have plenty of stuff to do on the road. DVD players, CD players, Nintendo DS, Playstation Portable.

I'm sure the boys will find other ways to amuse themselves--
Are we there yet??? Hee Hee Hee!
Mom, he's touching me! Hee Hee Hee
He's farting!
Will you tell him to stop making that noise!

I did find a way to fix their little red wagon though!

We went out of town school shopping last weekend. It was about a 2 hour drive. They started the crap. I found a country station and cranked it. I was trying to sing to it (I didn't know a word). The louder they got, the louder I got.

I think it worked. I didn't have to say "don't make me pull this car over", I said "don't make me turn it to country"

Everybody asks us why on earth do we drive???

I love it. It adds to the adventure. We get to see parts of the country we have never seen. It also builds us up for the vacation. We talk about things that just don't come up in normal conversations. I think it adds to the memories.

I've done that drive many a time. I live in southern Ohio. Down through Charleston, WV, right? You are in Virginia, but only for an hour. West Virginia is an absolute BEAR! The speed limit is 70mph which would be great if it wasn't so curvy & hilly you think you'll fall off a cliff at 70. Other than that, it is a nice, beautiful, easy drive. We're flying this time as my girl's want to fly & it wasn't too much $, but we enjoy the drive. It takes 14 hours from here to Orlando. We've done it at least a dozen times.

 

[TheLastPrincess]

Thanks for stopping by my Pre-Trippy! Your Pre-Trippy looks great!

I do believe it is Charleston. I was a little worried about WV. I HATE HATE HATE the mountains. Heights scare the bejeebers out of me.

Even the Highway has winding, curvy hills?????

O.K. I can work with this. I will put one of the boys up front with Fred. I will then place my head between my legs and pray. WV can't be more than 3 hours right???

You should see me when we go across the Mackinaw bridge. I am a WRECK! I always get in the back seat--like that will save me???

We went through NC once on the way. I liked those mountains. We were on the bottom. It was curvy, but we were still ON THE BOTTOM!

Any little special places on the way we should stop at? I like new and interesting stuff!

Don't say the Applacian's Highest Peak overlook either!!!!

Thanks for stopping by my Pre-Trippy! Your Pre-Trippy looks great!

Thanks for checkin it out. I'm so excited for you to be taking your honeymoon at DW. Fred and I went there for ours. We were only there 2 days because we had just went to the Daytona 500. It was Fred's first time. I still don't know if he's really hooked or just goes along for the ride! I think I should have called him Eeyore!!
We had a great time though!!

 

[estherhead]

There is a little plac called Tamarack in WV that they advertise on the highway. It really is like a gigantic, nice truck stop but it has local crafters selling their wares inside. My in-laws love it. And yes, it is about 3 hours through WV. I wish I could reassure you but... it really is a hard state. And I ALWAYS seem to be driving when we get there. We're only 1.5 hours north of Charleston, WV and no matter where we want to go on the east coast, it is fastest to drive through WV. It is truly gorgeous. But the state motto is Wild & Wonderful West Virginia. That gives you an idea.

Then you'll get to Virginia. Pretty much there is nothing to eat, no gas, and no where to pee in Virginia. Be warned.

The rest of the trip is great. Even around the big cities traffic isn't too exciting. If you want to do something interesting & have time, we like to sleep near Savannah one night. It's just a fabulous inner city to have dinner. Richmond Hill generally has cheap non-scary places to sleep. Or we'll pop into the beach for a little 1/2 hour walk just to stretch our legs because the Atlantic is right there for quite a bit of Georgia & Florida.

We've even taken just an hour break & driven onto Daytona Beach, kicked around in the sand, and then gone onto WDW.

Awww, this is making me wish we were driving. I love road trips.

CRAFTS?? I'm so stopping.

I really won't be driving through there I'm afraid, no really I'M AFRAID!

Then you'll get to Virginia. Pretty much there is nothing to eat, no gas, and no where to pee in Virginia. Be warned.

Noted!! Eat, drink and Pee BEFORE Virginia. That's about an hour, hour and a half right?? My bladder couldn't take much more.

We've even taken just an hour break & driven onto Daytona Beach, kicked around in the sand, and then gone onto WDW.

We are doing Daytona for a night. I love having the ocean right out the hotel room. The first time I went there were jellyfish everywhere! It was hard to walk cause you had to keep dodging them.

Awww, this is making me wish we were driving. I love road trips.

See, See!! Just think though, flying will get you there a whole lot quicker!

Nice truck (except for the "little" ding)

All fixed now. Just waitin for the insurance to spike!

We'll see if you say that when you get back

Yah, your right!! Besides, if it was all June and Ward Cleaver all the way there and back, I wouldn't bother writing about it. Who wants to read that??? I'm sure I will mention the mooning of truckers, or how Sport held up a "help me, I'm being kidnapped sign" or how the cop pulled us over because I was dangling one of them out of the window by a belt loop!!!!

THAT makes for some good readin'
