Triple Split Stay = Triple the fun! - My 1st PTR! *UPDATED: 7/26*

[#1PoohBearFan]

Hi Again!

Well, there's only 21 days to go, and I'm PUMPED!! So I've made a packing list!

My list is of "unusual" stuff...you know, stuff other than clothes, electronics/chargers, etc. And I got the majority of my ideas from this amazing thread! Yes, 42 pages is long, but I got through it and it is FULL of good ideas!

Any-who, here's what I'm planning on bringing:

1. Hand Sanitizer
2. Lotion
3. Small scissors for tags
4. Water Sprayer (old hair detangler bottle filled with water - RE-USING!!)
5. Gum
6. Ziploc Bags for water rides
7. Sharpies
8. Nail Clipper
9. Band-Aids
10. Plastic Lids for Ice Cream/Popsicles
11. Kool-Aid Packets
12. Extra Hair Ties, Clips, Bobby Pins
13. Post-Its
14. Pens & Pencils
15. Grocery Bags
16. Deck of Cards
17. Markers
18. Pipe Cleaners
19. Small Tissue Pack
20. Tube Sock for keeping water cold & keeping it from sweating
21. Pad of Paper
22. Chapstick
23. Scotch Tape
24. Pop-Up Hamper
25. Power Strip
26. Wet Wipes

Well, some of this my mom is actually most likely going to bring. (power strip, pop-up hamper, etc.)

The most brilliant idea I stole from that thread is the plastic lids!! You just turn the lid upside-down and stick the stick (HAHA! stick the stick! sorry, I'm easily amused.) through the x-cut. And voila! No drips! This is especially helpful, since anytime I eat a popsicle/ice cream on a stick, half of it ends up all over my hands.

Well, that's all for today. So as Tigger would say...
Ta-Ta for now!

Well, what I regret is leaving my gym friends. All it takes to make me happy with my desicion again is to go online and look at the team schedule! I've been dancing since I was 3 too! That's really weird how much we have in common! What types of dance do you do?

Jazz, Hip-Hop, and a little bit of Tap. How about you?

Packing list sounds great! We brought a deck of cards too and they came in handy on our "break days" and during afternoon breaks!

Jazz, Hip-Hop, and a little bit of Tap. How about you?

As of now just lyrical and a little bit of ballet, but I'm hopefully starting Jazz and Hip Hop in the fall!

Hope you like it!

I do! It's really good! And oh my goodness, I lived in Naperville, Illinois for around a year and a half when I was in Pre-K/Kindergarten! This is starting to get SCARY!

This is REALLY freaky. We live about 25-30 minutes from Naperville!

OMG too funny!!

OMG too funny!!

Do you still live in the area or did you move since then?

 

[#1PoohBearFan]

Do you still live in the area or did you move since then?

No we've moved back to PA - we lived here before we moved to IL

 

[ZFamily5]

No we've moved back to PA - we lived here before we moved to IL

That's cool, but all of our similarities are kind of freaky!

Hehehe, I love going on that ride and then annoying my family by singing the song for the rest of the day...until it starts annoying me.

Hello All!

Today, something fun...Pin Trading and Vinylmations!

I have a lanyard full of pins, but kept forgetting it on past trips. So, this trip, I'm bringing it along, and hope to have at least half of a second lanyard full when I come home. Here is my lanyard:

I also have a few princess pins from when I was younger, so I'm going to trade them.

I also have a few Vinylmations! I just started collecting them, so I only have 5. But, here they are:

That's all for today! Bye

 

[ZFamily5]

I collect pins and vinylmations too! I only have 3 vinylmations. Do you collect a certain kind or theme of pins?

 

[StephaniexMarie]

Oh my gosh, I love your Boo pins! And your Vinylmation to the very left is the CUTEST. I started collecting one every year 2 years ago, so I'm excited to see which one I'll get this year.

Hi there! I wanted to jump in and say I just started reading your PTR. Enjoying it so far.

But I am especially interested because our trip (coming up at the end of August), we're taking the AutoTrain as well for the first time. My husband and I live very nearby, so it's really convenient. I'll definitely be interested to hear what you have to say about it!

Are you guys getting a sleeping car, or just sleeping in your seats? We just have seats, I'm a little worried about that, but I think it'll be okay!

Cool! Actually, no. I just buy/trade ones that I think are cute/awesome/etc... Do you?

Thanks! Boo is my long-time nickname, cause I used to have really short hair and wore it in pigtails, people said I looked just like her. I've been called that since I was 6ish!
THANKS! He is my favorite! Not that I don't love them all...
I love how they don't show you which one you're getting! It's more fun.

Glad you like it! We have seats, too! They look big and comfy, but maybe I'll enjoy it more because I'm getting out of the cramped car after 3 hours.

Awww, how cute! Ahaha yeah that's what makes it so fun. Mine are upstairs right now but I have a red one that's kinda like an apple and the other one...I totally forgot what he looks like. But they're not as cute as your favorite!
Also, I'm curious. Did you guys figure out what parks you're going to do on the days you said were undecided?
