Two Disney Dorks Celebrate 5 Years of Wedded Bliss!-UPDATED 9/3! The Final Wrap-Up :(

[Disneyfreak92]

Great update! I love the pictures! Your purses are so cute! I am a girly girl too so I love how even your band aids are fashionable! I am a child of the 80's myself so I hear you on the Strawberry Shortcake. I DO feel inspired to go to Tarjay and pick up some things. I hadn't thought about doing a trip report but I will think about it. I will look forward to your next update!

Thanks! Yeah, I am such a complex person - girly girl and former firefighter all in one! The Strawberry Shortcake band-aids are just SO cute! I think we have some plain clear waterproof ones too though. I hope so anyway, for DH's sake! The TR thing - it's fun and addictive! Don't blame me if you get hooked! I blame UtahMama. Maybe you could blame her too... (Love ya, Wendy! )

Thanks for updating us, Lynda! I love your purchases!
See...this is why I'm not sure I should start with the pin trading! Looks addictive....NOF, Josh!
The Chucks are adorable! The purses are fabulous! You KNOW I love the haircut! You are the coolest. In fact, Lynda...I have decided that you are a grownup, married, combination edition of my girls! DD13 loves the clothes, Coach purses, shoes and of course Mimi would be purchasing the lense and getting the razor cut.
I often think that there are very few material things in life that I need that cannot be purchased at Target. Honestly!
What about Oliver!

Great update, girl! No last minute ADR changes? Itinerary changes? Nuttin? You must be satisfied with your plan...and that's a good thing! Keep it comin!

The pin trading is addictive, but we don't do much with it when we aren't there at least. Josh buys the pin lots off of ebay in preparation for the trip, and we trade on the trip. We have the book/bag things you can buy at the parks that we keep them in. And we try to complete sets. Some of the pins are just so cute! And we love the CM interaction. Once again, fun and a bit addictive.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments! Nothing like being compared to a 13yo and a 17yo to make you feel youthful and "cool"! I mean it! Thanks!

Yeah, Target! If we got a Super Target here, I would just be in heaven!

Oliver doesn't destroy his toys, so he is set! He has really been enjoying his catnip toys lately! But he just holds them and licks them - doesn't chew them up!

OK, well there MAY be one change, but it's pretty minor. So minor, in fact, that I keep forgetting to ask DH about whether we should do it or not. It would just be swapping dinner ADRs Tuesday and Thursday, but we'll see.

Just now hopping on and I'm loving the report!! What beatiful children you have! You leave in two weeks, I bet the anticipation is building up inside you like a shaken soda pop. I've only made it to page two so far, but I'll be back to finish reading a little later. Thank You!

Thanks! Anticipation is at a VERY HIGH LEVEL right now! Going nuts here!

the purses, the 'do.

Thanks chickie!


OK, we are now officially doing the single-digit dance here!!!


Having trouble focusing at work, getting some stuff done in the evenings though. Pretty much finished shopping. I will update again before too long. Thanks to all for reading!

6 days!!!! You are so close!!

Don't let SpongeMisty see those Coach bags!!! She's addicted to purses. I have HUGE bags because I always have to lug a pack of wipes and a few pull-ups, etc. I think my wallet is as big as your pink Coach!

My WORD, that's a huge lens! Goodness! I can't wait to see what that produces.

Cute shoes and Band-Aids!

Geez, I can't wait to Get ON WITH THE SHOW!

Did you get "Glide" to prevent blisters and chaffing? It's SO helpful!

 

[winkers]

I love the purse and the shoes and the band aid's! I grew up on strawberry shortcake, too. I'ts what my grandma used to call me!

Hi Lynda,

I so meant to reply last weekend when you updated, but I was babysitting and there was only enough time to read.

Loved all your purchases. I say it all the time, but why is it so much fun (and apparently necessary) to shop for a WDW vacation?

Those coach purses are great! We have an outlet not far from here and I've been meaning to stop by and see if they have anything worth purchasing. I got an adorable coach collar for my dog, Phoebe - classic khaki coach signature print. Unfortunately, I was totally off with my sizing and it's a little too big so I don't like her wearing it much. But it was only $20! How could I not get it?

Can you believe that in a week from now, we both will be strolling through Walt Disney World? I am so excited but like you so busy. I feel very overwhelmed with school and getting everything organized.

We need to try to figure out a way to possibly catch each other! I'll have my green mickeys and you have yours. And we both have pics of each other. Maybe I'll print your itinerary so I can have an idea of where you'll be.

(yikes...stalk much, shannon? )

 

[KatGarcia]

OOOOOO! Your trip is in just a few days!!! Are you dying! I have to wait 33 days and i'm bursting! Have an awesome time!!! Can't wait for the report when you return!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

6 days!!!! You are so close!!

Oh my gosh!!!!! I am getting even closer now! I am just riddled with excitement at this point! We only have 3 and a half days of work left!

Don't let SpongeMisty see those Coach bags!!! She's addicted to purses. I have HUGE bags because I always have to lug a pack of wipes and a few pull-ups, etc. I think my wallet is as big as your pink Coach!

I my Coach purses! I also have a Guess one that I LOVE! I am trying to build a small collection of good quality purses that I can use for years. So far, they all have pink in them! I need to buy a black purse! I just love pink so much! The pink Coach is small. Once I got it home, I realized that I need to buy a new wallet/checkbook because both my current wallet and checkbook don't fit into it together. Oops! Well, I don't use the checkbook too often, so that got left out for now.

Thanks!

Me either!

We did get the "Glide"! Can't wait to try it.

I love the purse and the shoes and the band aid's! I grew up on strawberry shortcake, too. I'ts what my grandma used to call me!

Thanks! When we got home, I discovered Cars waterproof band-aids too, so DH is covered as well.

I think it's fun because you know you are getting ready to go to the mouse when you start buying stuff for the trip!

OMGosh!!! I want a Coach collar for Jasper! How adorable! DH just rolled his eyes at me when I told him about yours and said I wanted one. At $20, you couldn't not get it!

I can't believe it either! I am SO excited!

We definitely need to meet up! Good idea with the itinerary. And don't forget about PI on the 19th. Look for us at AC if you go there! I meeting fellow DISers.

note to self: don't read this TR until lynda returns in order to avoid the telling of gruesome birth stories and thus totally convincing yourself never to have children.

okay. done.

Sorry, I'll behave myself! The best time is when the woman's already pregnant, for the first time.
