Top Secret Pixie Dust! A Surprise 13th Birthday PTR! NEW! TRIP REPORT LINK PAGE 220!

I hope Bo returns ..... he just has to ..... for Chelsea!

I laughed at the Teppan Edo story!

I can relate my DD did the same thing only with Sci Fi.
I made ADR's way back in February and she wanted Sci Fi then (in her top 2 pics) so I got one.
Well about a few months ago we were discussing the trip and she said she didn't want to go to Sci Fi ..... .... I questioned her and she said she wanted something else.
So I cancelled the ADR so someone else could get it.
Jump to the last few weeks and we were discussing the trip (not a surprize as I tend to obsess over the details until we leave)
Well she says "which day are we going to SciFi?"
My reaction I will never get another ADR now! Since it's during Free Dining!!!
I'm happy to say with my Mommy perserverance I scored an ADR for SciFi just the other day .... I felt such victory after spending weeks looking and hoping...
Lesson learned - relalize I know her better than she knows herself and keep the ADRs in the future....

I'm so glad you scored an ADR for Teppan Edo! I'm sure you made your DH very happy!

We will be trying Teppan Edo for the first time! We are so excitted!

I'm going to tie in 'Pick a Pearl' and a Pokemon shopping spree for Lexi....

Thank goodness you were able to get another Sci-Fi ressie!!! Have you eaten there before? We love it there! Such a great place to escape the heat and the theming is just the best!

We are going to do a Pick a Pearl, also. Since we are eating at Teppan Edo now, it will probably be our first night.

Today marks one week until we are at Disney World! Hurray! Hurray! I have a Mickey Mouse puzzle that I bought for the beach, but now, I am going to pull it out for today.

I figure these last seven days will be the perfect spot to post our itinerary and what we will be doing each day!

So, one week from today, we will be making the drive down to Disney. We’ll stop at my favorite stop and see my favorite fruit stand.

We will check into the Caribbean Beach Resort!

Hopefully our room will be ready, and we can unpack before heading to Epcot!

Depending on time, the kids and Charles can ride Mission:Space. I will browse through Mousegears.

We’ll see Captain EO,

Try to help find Donald,

Battle some trolls,

Pick a pearl,

And eat some yummy Japanese food.

That looks and sounds fantastic.

I love the week before we leave, it just seems more real, even though we've spent months and months planning I have always wanted to stay at CBR so I can't wait to see all your pictures of it. Next summer we are staying with my sis and her family at AKL for 2 weeks and then Jasmine and I will hopefully stay on another week and I would love to stay at CBR....here's hoping

[TarzansKat]

Looks good to me! I so wish I could see Captain EO! I wonder how long they'll run it for

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Your arrival day sounds great. A little park time to get you started is great. I really, really want to see your CBR photos since that's where we are staying next time. Did you get a standard or preferred location?

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Sounds like a super first day. I've been looking at some pictures of the Taste of Africa on the DIS blog and the MouseSteps pages... it looks awesome!! Hope you will get to experience it!

 

[xoktenox]

One week!!!! So exciting!!!

What a perfect arrival day itinerary! How long does it usually take you guys to drive down?

 

[dancin_princess]

That would be a lot of fun!

I'll have to check my dad's schedule and based on your itinerary, we can come up with something. I'll PM you my number. Wow! 7 days!!! I was this close - to doing Captain EO the other day but we decided against it.

 

[yinyanggirls]

I love how you have your stops along the way planned out. I laugh because I understand!!!

 

[Megablocks]

I love pick a pearl! I wear the ring I made on our 2009 trip every day

Your arrival day itinerary sounds awesome. I can't believe you are going to be there in one week!

 

[swwake]

1 week! I love your "one week from today..." I think it's great that you get to eat at Teppan Edo the very first night! What a great kickoff for Charles.

 

[twenty3curls]

One week! Eeek! How exciting

Although, I do find one problem with your trip approaching so quickly... no updates for a week! Promise to hurry back.

 

[MeMom]

and she said, “He looks good.” You know that long drawn out “good” that teenage girls say!

This trip, he looked invisible.

Just peeking in to catch up on the pre-trip excitement. We had a great trip, but are, of course, exhausted. I have done two loads of clothes and have put some things away. I hauled a huge load of food for camp from church to home this morning and was glad to have help waiting for me at home to bring it in. I straightened the kitchen and checked my e-mail and bank statement. Now I get to chill out and catch up on what has been happening with my DIS buddies.

It was very hot the last few days, but the first week there were clouds in the sky to give some relief from the sun, so it wasn't so bad. I hope you guys will have the gift of a cloudy sky, too. You can put the pool to good use when it gets unbearable.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Sorry I missed the 8 days out (we were camping). So I'll just skip to 7 days:





I'm so excited for you! Your first day sounds really great! How long a drive is it for you?

 

[eandesmom]

7 days!
