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

[Charleston Princess]

chelsea's toe story is hysterical!

be sure to catch the fireworks at MK. they are the same ones that we saw at the pirate & princess party and they are icredible!

think of me when you are dropping 13 stories in the darkness!

Chelsea always brings laughter into the house even when she is not intending to do so.

Oh, yes, definitely looking forward to the fireworks. I am really debating adding the Park Hopper to our tickets just so I can go see the parade and fireworks on more than one night!

I will be thinking of you, for sure, as I try to find the backbone to ride that scary tower. LOL!

I LOL at the toe drama. But I was hoping the drama lessened as they got older, but it doesn't sound like. I know I'm in for it! Hannah is a complete drama queen at 5!

3 days to go!

Chelsea has always been very melodramatic her entire life. It seems to be part of her personality, so if Hannah is like that, too, you should have lots of stories by the time she is 13.

3 Days!!

​

I need to add a night drop at ToT to my to do list for next time!

Can you believe it??? I never thought the trip would get here and now we are almost down to counting hours!

I think dropping at night will be a lot of fun! (Well, I say that now... )

Oh YAY!!!! That sounds like a great DHS day, and oh BOY 3 days!!!! I am so excited for you!! WOOT WOOT !!!

Prime Time Excellent choice! Have you been there before? I can't remember... keep your elbows off the table!!

That's pretty much been my reaction all day today when I am not doing this number and wondering how it will all get done!

We have never been to Primetime -- this is a first for us -- I am so excited to finally try it! After your mention of milkshakes today, I will be needing one from Primetime.

Fingers are crossed that Bo is back!!! I LOVE the Tower of Terror at night! YAY for 3 more days........I'm finally in single digits too!!!

Hurray for being in single digits!!!

THREE DAYS!!! WOW!!



DHS looks good! Are you going to do the animation class?
I wish I was brave enough to go on ToT. It sounds so cool. I'd like just to walk through the queue and leave!

We did the animation class a couple of years ago, so we probably won't do it this time. We enjoyed it when we did it, though, and we still have our Winnie the Poohs that we drew.

You can walk through the queue and then ask to leave. They have a chicken exit just for that! The queue is really neat -- I remember loving it the last time I rode (which was 1998 ).

WOOT for 3 days!!

I want to hear about the changes to TOT!! So you'll have to tell me what you think, I do enjoy that ride ONCE I'm on it!!!

OOOH lots of pixie dust that Bo will be back where he belongs when your gang arrives!

Send lots of pixie dust that I can get up the nerve to ride it.

Wait am I missing something.....are YOU going on TOT????!!! I hope you do!!

Tracy

Well...Tracy...Connor and I think we are going to ride ToT on this trip, but I am pretty sure we say that every trip, and then every trip we chicken out. So...it's anybody's guess whether we do or not. I do really want to see the changes they made, though, and as long as there are handles on either side of my seat to grab, I might be okay.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I have to admit...the thought of Bo not being there and what pictures you might capture of Chelsea bemoaning her fate of not seeing Bo make me think it would be goot TR fodder if Bo wasn't there.

You and I think very alike, LL!!!

Oh, by the way, we chose Look Again for our book club book this month. Everyone was all about it when we read the description -- I knew they would like it. Now, I need to order a copy as soon as we get back from Disney.

Hehehe. Glad you don't think I'm too evil.


You are going to LOVE Look Again. I'm so addicted to Lisa Scottline's books now. I think I've read 4 this week.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hehehe. Glad you don't think I'm too evil.

Oh, not at all. I was staging pictures in my mind while cleaning today.

You are going to LOVE Look Again. I'm so addicted to Lisa Scottline's books now. I think I've read 4 this week.

I can't wait! I even thought about trying to get to Barnes and Noble before we leave to get a copy to read at Disney, but I don't think I am going to make it.

 

[Native NYer]

I can't believe you're going in only 3 days!!!
Chelsea and Connor must be so excited.
I really hope Bo is back in time and he's made a full recovery from whatever work he had done

 

[Roxychica7]

Oh my gosh, Chelsea's toe story is hysterical, especially now that she has made a ful recovery, miraciously right before the Disney trip of course

 

[jillyb]

Oh, yes! I think Chelsea should get into the drama club, but she says she doesn't like performing in front of an audience.

 

[VAisforDisneyLvrs]

Just checking in because I knew your trip was getting close! I really am enjoying the posts of your proposed itineraries. Your kids look so little in some of the pictures! They grow and change so fast don't they?

Chelsea's toe story made me laugh. I have three daughters-ages 9,8, and 4-there is no shortage of drama in my house!

Are you going to post pictures and things to Facebook while you are gone?

 

[Charleston Princess]

Chelsea and Connor are feeling the excitement for sure. Chelsea packed tonight -- I envy her -- she is ready to go! Well, except for her car bag -- she tried to get me to tell her what we are giving her for her birthday, and whether or not she should leave room in her bag for it.

Oh my gosh, Chelsea's toe story is hysterical, especially now that she has made a ful recovery, miraciously right before the Disney trip of course

I agree! I don't think I would be laughing if she was still injured.

Ironic, isn't it?

Just checking in because I knew your trip was getting close! I really am enjoying the posts of your proposed itineraries. Your kids look so little in some of the pictures! They grow and change so fast don't they?

Amazing to think that most of those are from 2008 and 2009 -- just in two years they have changed so much!

Chelsea's toe story made me laugh. I have three daughters-ages 9,8, and 4-there is no shortage of drama in my house!

Oh, I can't imagine dealing with the drama of three girls!!!

Are you going to post pictures and things to Facebook while you are gone?

I haven't quite figured out how to post pictures to Facebook yet, but I think I know how to update statuses.

 

[Happydog]

Well I for one hope you have started that packing process!!! How many last minute store runs have you or are you doing??? WOW!!!! 3 days!! Practically 2 now! SO excited for you!!! Oh and I get that internal conflict:




Yeah. That is me. Every trip.

I knew you would be able to identify!

I think I managed to make some headway today. I cleaned the house since we are having company on Saturday. Chelsea and Connor are completely packed except for some last minute items that need to go through the laundry on Saturday. I started gathering my stuff and Charles'. All of the food things and water are gathered into one spot. I had to run to the store yesterday, so that's one last-minute store run done. Tomorrow I am going to bake oatmeal cranberry cookies for the drive down and bake Chelsea's birthday cake for our family get-together on Saturday. Tomorrow night is a surprise party for a friend. Then, there is Saturday...which when I think about what all has to get accomplished really makes me go .

 

[disney<333]

Yay, for 3 days!
I hope Bo makes his way back home in time. The Animation Class is a ton of fun! Maybe you can do it while Chelsea and Charles do some thrill rides? We usually enter AA through the gift shop.
I can't wait to read your review on 50s. I have it booked for November.

 

[MHTeacher]

Only 3 days!!!! How excited are you?

 

[dancin_princess]

Oatmeal cranberry cookies? That sounds tasty.

 

[MeMom]

I will be thinking of you, for sure, as I try to find the backbone to ride that scary tower. LOL!

Send lots of pixie dust that I can get up the nerve to ride it.

I do really want to see the changes they made, though, and as long as there are handles on either side of my seat to grab, I might be okay.

Do I need to send Brooklynn to go with you???

On the drama: Brooklynn has a little drama in her, as well, and when we laugh at her, she wails, "Don't laugh at meeeee!" It only makes us laugh even more. I tell her I always laugh at funny things, so she should stop being funny. She usually juts that bottom lip out at that point and buries her head.

I think when she is thirteen, there is going to be a lot of laughing going on.

I am afraid with all of my school and camp comings and goings, I will miss Chelsea's birthday.
What day is it exactly?
I'll go ahead and say Happy Birthday now, just to be safe.
I hope you have a most awesome birthday, Chelsea, and I am really glad you decided to go to Disney World instead of the beach.

 

[DisMomAmy]

2 Days!!

​

 

[xoktenox]

Only 2 more days!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure yesterday was one week from the day we will meet up! Am I right on that one? We'll hafta pick a time once we're there and see how our days are going

We had a good time doing the Animation Class a couple of years ago. Connor and I usually like to ride the Great Movie Ride while the other two do RnRC. I am looking forward to Primetime -- I have wanted to eat there forever!

Only 3 days!!!! How excited are you?

Very! Apparently the kids are even more excited because they can't seem to fall asleep the last couple of nights.

Oatmeal cranberry cookies? That sounds tasty.

They are quite good! I figure they will travel well.

Do I need to send Brooklynn to go with you???

Yes, please!

Too cute!!! Yes, there will be lots of laughing when she is thirteen.

I hope you have a most awesome birthday, Chelsea, and I am really glad you decided to go to Disney World instead of the beach.

Thank you! I will be sure to pass along your message! Her birthday is tomorrow -- we'll be having a birthday breakfast with my parents, and then in the evening we'll have everyone over for cake and ice cream. I probably would have just bought a cake from Publix, but Chelsea wants a homemade one and wants to decorate it herself. So, I will be baking later this morning.

2 Days!!

Yes, tomorrow is one week from the day we want to meet up. Are you planning on doing DHS that morning before your Primetime ressie?

 

[Charleston Princess]

Sadly, one week from today will be our last day at Disney World.

However, before we go, we will be headed to the Magic Kingdom.

We will start our day in Adventureland with the Jungle Cruise,

A visit with pirates,

And seeing some singing birds. (Connor's request)

Then, we will make our way to Frontierland where we will ride a runaway mining train,

And visiting our Laughing Place.

Finally, in Liberty Square, we will climb aboard a doom buggy,

And get a little weepy as we remember our country’s history.

And then, the worst part…the final walk down Main Street…perhaps we will stop in the Confectionary for some fudge to ease our pain…

Two Days!!!
