Joining in!!! I can't wait to hear some of your plans!

Yay, welcome!!

I'm from Tulsa but going to school at Northeastern State. I love the smaller school atmosphere here but I love going to Stillwater for the weekends! I've never been to a football game but I'm thinking about doing that next season as well. GO POKES! lol

Good times in Tulsa. It's funny that you talk about going to Stilly for the weekends, we used to LEAVE Stilly for the weekends, head out to Tulsa or OKC where there were things like, a mall, or a decent movie theatre...
You'll have to let me know if you decide to go to a game! We could all catch up!

I'm so happy for you going...wish we could go back in December too It's just so exciting planning a trip too

I think the planning is half the fun. I read my Unofficial Guide when I need a Disney fix and can't make it to the World.

I am thinking of doing that and framing them. Hanging them in the office. I also want to do a shadowbox frame for my pins....

Heh. I am such a dork. I don't even care!

Right now, I am anxiously awaiting my planning dvd. It's taking too long!

PS, I think I was posting on your PTR while you were posting on mine...

Lame. How do you already have yours? I thought I sent off for mine before you did....

PS, um, I could have just emailed this to you I guess, since we have been emailing back and forth ALL DAY!

I don't know...brad ordered it for me. He is a sweet fiance like that.

And yes you could have emailed that to me...but this is more fun! By the way did you know I will be 25 by the time we head to disney??? Crazy.

Haha..that's funny. Nothing wrong with framing your maps--and the shadowbox idea sounds really cool. Last Christmas I got a picture frame--I'll have to take a picture of it and post it in my PTR

I am so onboard for your PTR! This is going to be so much fun!

Ooo...I can't wait to see it. I am forever looking for new ideas for what to do with my treasures...more on that later!

I am so onboard for your PTR! This is going to be so much fun!

Glad to have you!! Welcome to the madness!

Ughh add me to the list of people waiting for a 2009 planning DVD!! I wonder if being in Canada has anything to do with the wait but I'm just so impatient to get it!!

And you've got such a cute family. I love your dad in the hat, that's so fun.

Ah! I have missed Disboards. My apartment has been a disaster zone for the past two days, so I haven't opened the computer. Disboards causes me to sometimes neglect other things that I need to get done... I believe I mentioned in my first post that Kells and I would be celebrating a big move? That would be mine. I've been living and working in the VA/DC area for over two years now, and working on my Master's degree. Well, I graduated in July, and am missing Texas (and all that that entails) in a big way. So, in March, I am packing up and moving the 1300 miles back to the Lone Star State!

This weekend, in order to start preparing for the big move (here on out known as TBM) I began going through cabinets, closets, drawers and shelves and getting rid of stuff that I don't use/need and don't want to move. I am a big time packrat, so this took all of Friday evening, and all day Saturday.

Among the things that I was getting rid of I :
*donated over 80 books to the local library
*donated 4 large bags full of clothing to Goodwill
*donated one 3 drawer dresser to Goodwill and,
*had 12 bags of trash to haul to the dumpster

I also found a bunch of treasures that I had that I didn't even remember that I had.

These are the most recent of my pin collection - I bought these in September when I was there with my parents celebrating graduation. My Master's is in Political Management, so I just couldn't pass up the "Vote" pin. The little pumpkin ring I bought for my sister and have yet to give it to her.

This is the pin collection that I bought for Kells...back in 2006. And I've never given it to her. Something to look forward to, Miss K!

These are the FPs that we DIDN'T USE when we were at WDW in September! The lines were so short that we didn't even need them!! It was incredible.

My mother bought this for me in WS in September. In case you can't tell, it's Belle and Beast dancing.

This is probably the funniest thing that I found, and I found it under the bathroom cabinet. What was in it, you might ask?

Disney soap! This is the soap that I have pilfered from my resorts at my past few stays. I was when I found this!

To round this off, this is a photo of the Disney planning corner (well, it's really my chill corner, but it currently serves as Disney planning corner,) and where I happen to be sitting right now.

And of course, my Disney guides. Must-haves, as we all know.

I know I promised a list of restaurants, and that is coming soon. It's harder to make this list than I thought!! And, Kelly's phone is broken, so we are having a hard time getting a hold of each other. I'm having withdrawls....Kelly, get your phone fixed!!

Good luck on the move back to Texas...I know you miss it. And thanks for sharing the pictures I need to get the Unofficial 2009 guide

Thanks! I do miss TX. And yeah, definitely get the Unofficial Guide. I get the new one every year, even though I know the changes are minimal. It's my favorite though, and I read it to get a quick Disney fix!

Ha ha. I am checking the mailbox everyday. I am about to give up and order another one. It's been like 3 weeks. Thanks, I'll keep my fam. We all have our own zany-ness that we bring to the group. I have a ton more pics of Dad in hats all over WDW. He's such a good sport about it. I'll probably post a few more pics from our past trips, and you're sure to see more of Dad in hats.

Good luck on your move!!! Love all your Disney treasures that you found -- we have bags and bags of pilfered Disney resort soap under our bathroom counters, too!

Your pin lanyard is the same one that I have!

 

[lazidazi07]

Which book is the little black one on top? It looks like a little planner or something?..I have to stay updated on everything out there to plan a Disney trip!

Good luck on your move, I'm a huge pat-rack as well. I absolutely hate moving!

 

[hlrababy]

Awww, I love all your Disney treasures you found!!! Too funny!!!

The book is The Little Black Book of Walt Disney World...it's nice. All in color, and little pull out maps and such. But IMO the best maps are in the Passporter's Guide to WDW! And thanks! I hate moving as well. And moving cross country, blech. Never again!

Thanks! The receipt that I found in the bag was dated 2006. I love collecting pins. I am going to make a shadow box with all my pins. Those are just Kelly's starter set.

I'm ready for my planning DVD too!!! It will probably get here about the time we leave

Ha ha. I hope your planning dvd arrives before you leave! Although, if it doesn't...I guess you just use it to start planning the next WDW trip! Can't let a good planning dvd go to waste!
