Hi again planning buddy! Lovely intro So sorry to hear about your mum but what a nice way to honour her memory and remember her

Thank you lady, I appreciate that very much. I'll be taking her ashes in the memorial pendant with me, I've taken her to Vegas and San Diego so far. She loved both and asked that my brother and I always bring her along.

Thank you for your warm heart!

NEat lists! I'm stoked about exploring Magic Kingdom, they were just building Fantasyland when we were last there! Also miss Animal Kingdom as Dinosaur is a fun ride, also one of my faves that I spaced Kali River Rapids! I hope to try out Big Thunder this time! I'll ride along with you *virtually of course* and then try it for real next year!

Belle is lovely and needs to be added to my list and I <3 Beauty and the Beast as well!
FOOD I'm a fan. Yeppers. My tummy isn't, but then we rarely get along.

Just coming by to check out your PTR/TR !! I will have to read through in more detail later!!

 

[Glittercat]

Kathy! Thank you for being here!

 

[KathyM2]

I just went back and read your intros so far. Totally with your hubby on fave rides. And your DD...wow, her hair is amazing! I can see why her fave princess is Merida lol. I look forward to following along with your planning!

Thank you so much dear! I'm jealous of my daughter's hair sometimes. It is a crazy curly chaotic mane! She had me cut it short until middle school. When she was tiny and I would have her out for a walk or in a store or something people would ask me what nationality her mother was. I found it so odd at first and would just give them a puzzled look then stammer "umm, Irish, Italian, and Cherokee, and her father is half Basque." Their eyes would go wide looking from porcelain skinned, dark eyed, black ringleted baby girl to me super straight hair green eyes, and then mention that they thought I was the Nanny. Celeste wants us to Disneybound as Princesses and Villains for this trip, she says she gets to be the Villains. lol.

I read your intros and had to follow along. I grew up in So Cal and worked at Disneyland. But, like your husband, I love WDW. Also - a good friend of mine does lettering (is that the right word) for comic books. He worked for Marvel for years but is freelance now. And you daughter and my oldest seem to have a lot in common (although they're a few years apart). Her favorite princess is Mulan and, after watching Grease for the first time, said, "No one should change who she is for a guy."

We originally planned to stay at the Poly for our next trip (August), but the construction problems just got to be too much for us. So I'll have to live vicariously through you, because I really, really want to stay there at some point.

 

[HollyM7813]

Following along! Can't wait to hear more about your addiction (and also fuel mine ) and to hear of your many adventures!!!

 

[Glittercat]

@tarak Oh how neat! What did you do at Disneyland? I LOVED it when we visited, and he had a lot more fun than he expected! He told me last night that he had gotten somewhat jaded about DL and really was surprised by how much fun we ended up having! I thought there was a very different magic in those parks, but would defiantly go back! Disney World is my dream home though! We had a fantabulous honeymoon there 16 years ago, and it has been my favorite place since!

That is really cool about your friend, does he still do much lettering? I wonder if he and Pete know each other?! Comics is an odd business and in some ways very insular, but that also makes things like Comic Conventions feel like family/friend reunions in some ways!

I'm off to follow along on your PTR! Is your daughter going to Disneybound for your trip? Are you?! So many questions eek! Thank you for being here!

Your trip is coming up so quickly!!! I just went and followed along on your PTR and I'm so excited to read it! Caribbean Beach is such a beautiful resort! I would like to stay there, but ummm I have terrible fear of Disney busses. Oh dear that is embarrassing! I love everything else about it though, and will follow along eagerly as you prepare!
so much for being here!

Hi!
We haven't formally met yet, but I've seen you around these parts quite a bit.
FYI, I'm not a big PTR follower, but I will pop in with the odd comment or two.
I prefer to read the PTRs but I won't get the links if I don't follow here first, right?
So I'm popping on board this train, too!

(ps. thanks for the 3,841 likes you gave me! . I don't often ask, but with all those likes... pop in and say hi! )

Okay, so it's a long way off but it is a start! P.s. I've *obviously* never done a TR or for that matter a PTR, so this is a serious unknown.

I'm sure you'll do just fine. You're already off to a great start.
Now breathe Rebecca. Breathe!

I slept very little last night and woke up fluffy.

I assume "fluffy" is girl-speak for totes adorbs.

I apologize for the old picture, we really don't have any current ones of all of us.

That'll change. Disney is nothing if not an opportunity to take copious amounts of pictures!

Pete is a comic book artist (penciller, inker, and now colorist as well!) and has worked for DC, Marvel, Legendary, and Dark Horse among others.

He's a big Doctor Who fan from way back!

He and my DD18 would get along just fine, then.

He enjoys Disney vacations as long as everything is paid for ahead of time.

You don't say!
Although I think I'd prefer if someone else paid.

After struggling to get her up last time in the mornings she was threatened with being woken with a cold glass of water she had best heed my warning! *grin*

See? Right there. TR gold... if it happens (try to make it happen.)

Unless I'm mistaken, that was your avatar picture for a while, wasn't it?

Hi! I'm Rebecca (& this is Hello Kitty)

Hi Rebecca. Hello Kitty.

I either look calm or totally deranged lol. *sigh*

I'll be 40 in July and often act about 5.

Atta girl.

I lost my mum to T-cell Non Hodgkins Lymphoma almost 2 years ago, this upcoming trip is a promise I made to her, and in honor of her memory. I miss and love her dearly.

Also I'm going to turn 41 at DISNEY WORLD!!! *breathe rebecca!*

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Migraines, and Rheumatoid Arthritis,

Wow. That's a lot to deal with. I took a quick (and I mean quick... I'm running late) Google/wiki look at Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

am in a wheelchair (hereby referred to as Wheels

Anyone who refers to herself as "mermaid on wheels" gets my attention.

La la nothing to see here folks. I just don't know how to delete a post.

You can't delete a post... but I like how you dealt with it!

Well met! SO happy to have you here! I'm so sorry I don't know know how to quote or link properly.

(ps. thanks for the 3,841 likes you gave me! . I don't often ask, but with all those likes... pop in and say hi! )

You're quite welcome for those likes they are well deserved! I'm on Pg. 24 of your trip report so far, and then got shy and decided to not say hi until I caught up! I'm a goon.

I'm sure you'll do just fine. You're already off to a great start.
Now breathe Rebecca. Breathe!

Hehe! Umm it meant big eyed and slightly maniacal

That'll change. Disney is nothing if not an opportunity to take copious amounts of pictures!

I think this time I'll ask PP Photographers to please take some pics of us as a group!

Pete is a comic book artist (penciller, inker, and now colorist as well!) and has worked for DC, Marvel, Legendary, and Dark Horse among others.



Do you know my husband!? Are you into comics?

He and my DD18 would get along just fine, then.

Our girly @flibberjibit is also a big Doctor Who fan! Sounds they would all get along. The 10th Doctor is my fave.

You don't say!
Although I think I'd prefer if someone else paid.

So would he! *giggles* As long as he doesn't have to drive, or worry overly much Disney is perfect for him!

See? Right there. TR gold... if it happens (try to make it happen.)

Muhahaaa!!! *evil laugh*

Unless I'm mistaken, that was your avatar picture for a while, wasn't it?

Yes sir, good memory. I took one on May the 4th in my Star Wars shirt, but I looked a lil' too much like the Overly Attached Girlfriend meme and went with this one instead. Photos and I are not the best of friends.
to be continued.
