Two for One: Double Disney Birthdays! *Meg nonTR upd 9/23* // *Help out Katie! 10/22*

[Megablocks]

Only 5 Days DisKate !!!

I just posted a pic of my kittens...Belle & Beau on MeMoms TR. They are just the sweetest little balls of fur!

I hope the time goes by fast, August seems so far away!

To answer your question Memom, I decided to cancel my trip because I didn't want to drive in a potential snow storm.
We have surprizingly warm temps lately and little snow, so I'm having some regrets.

I also decided to go for 2 weeks in August instead of just one in March for almosty the same $$$$.

Free dining is a HUGE bonus also! I just hope they offer it again !!!

WOW! I hope the wait for TSM isn't that long when I go.....no wonder people stampede for the Fastpass line.

I love to see the army men! So cool!

Do they have signs for all of the years at POP? I'll have to make a point to find ours. (except for my DMom she would be in those lost legendary years across the lake )

I was showing my DD the 'cutesters' you got and she decided to go on EBay to see what she could find.
There is a whole seasonal set. Too cute!
I want the palmtree one and the mickey ice cream bar one. Have you seen those?

I saw that picture! They are so sweet. I really really wish I could have cats. I bet they are so cute to watch together! I have two friends that got kittens towards the beginning of last summer, and they were so much fun. They were really cute together and had such distinctly different personalities.

I was really surprised to see FPs still available because we didn't get there at rope drop -- we got there around 11, I think. I loved seeing the green army men! I got a really cute picture with one.

They do have them for all the years. Too bad your mom's won't be there. One of my grandmothers was born in 1917 and I'd love to see what kind of stuff they'd put on that board!

I don't think I've seen those ones. I did see Christmas-y ones. They also have some Muppet ones but they were a little weird.

Yay for 1987 and Lady & the Tramp! Love the updates! And I can't believe I'm at 5 days, almost 4!!!

I should've taken more pictures of the years. Guess I need to go back and get more

I can't believe that you're almost at 4 days either! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to go with you via texts and pictures. Charles is going to love the updates too.

 

[DisKate]

4 days!!!!!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Woot for 4 days Katie!!!

Meghan, great update! I think getting up early and using that time to get some great pictures is such a neat idea. You think like MeMom. Only Dis'ers take pictures of FPs and think nothing of it when seeing other Dis'ers do it too!

 

[Megablocks]

4 days!!!!!!

Almost three!!!

I loved getting up early and just walking around Pop. I definitely wasn't on MeMom time, though; people were actually out and about when I was walking around.

I didn't think twice about taking a picture of my FP! Then my dad said I was funny when I did it and I didn't understand why.

 

[DisKate]

Woot for 4 days Katie!!!

Thank you!


3 DAYS!!!!!

So much to get done too!!! I'm really looking forward to this trip, but I'm also starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. If I can just get through my group presentation on Friday, then everything else will fall into place, I'm sure of it! Today I had the "Disney Jitters" in Corporate Finance...I started thinking about Disney and I couldn't sit still!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for three days, Katie!

Lovely walk around Pop, Megan! Isn't it funny how things around Disney remind us of other DISers?

A 5:30 return time for TSM??? Wow!

 

[MeMom]

This is Trent's year, too.

When I took this one, I thought of MeMom and her family's super cute Disney-themed parties and gatherings, like when they made their own Play-Doh creations, and she made the elephant and giraffe hanging out of the container.

There is a rumor that Disney is hiring me as a consultant on the decor when they open up the Animation Suites side of Pop across the lake.

Thank you for the morning walk around Pop. I will be taking my next one Mother's Day weekend, and I can't wait!



Katie - I totally understand the Disney jitters. Sometimes, when I am looking at people's pictures, I want to jump into the screen and be there right that second!!! Good luck on all of your school stuff. You will so enjoy the break from thinking about anything school-related.

3 DAYS!!!

"Disney Jitters" are good.....it means your trip is very near!

I hope you have great weather next week......

I can't wait for updates while you are there and we can imagine ourselves there with you!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

 

[DisKate]

Thanks everyone! 3 more days to go! Classes all day today to keep me busy. Tomorrow I have a morning class and I need to do laundry. Then Friday is finish up packing/cleaning/shopping after my morning class and head for home. We are flying out of Rochester because it was about $200 cheaper (ONE WAY!) then flying out of Buffalo.

Forgot to mention my Disney Dream! I had this dream last night that we arrived in Disney only for me to find that I forgot all, and I mean all, of our trip documents...tickets for the game, Give-a-Day tickets, hotel confirmations, dining confirmations....It was not a pretty dream! And now I've put post-its all over the apartment to remind me to pack those special little documents

A 5:30 return time for TSM??? Wow!

It is funny! Certain things made me think of everyone. I'm pretty sure I took a picture of Bo for Chelsea -- I wish I had made something like a speech bubble that said "see you soon, Chelsea!"

It was actually a little later than I realized -- it was like 12:30 when we got that FP, I think. The return time was crazy but I was SO excited to get that! I think they sold out not longer after we got ours.

This is Trent's year, too.

I think you would be an amazing consultant! I really loved your little animals hanging out of the container -- I don't know that I would have been able to do that. I think I'm limited to making a snail or a snake.

You're welcome! I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to more of your morning walks there!

I'm really really excited to get her pictures and texts. If I can figure out how to send my pictures to Photobucket, I'll do that so I can post them here.

It looks like it's going to be in the 70's all next week! I was really worrying about the weather for her but it looks like it's going to be perfect.

OMG That would freak me out! I hate the crazy pre-trip dreams. I usually put all my important stuff in a folder so it's all together (and then check it compulsively to make sure that nothing grew legs or something and managed to sneak out.) I also adopt the post-its method, and I also write reminders on my whiteboard

Did you see what I said to Lana? It looks like you are going to have amazing weather

I did! I'm really hoping for nice weather. So I can't remember if I texted you a bit ago or not, but Kris has a sinus infection. They gave her antibiotics and nose spray so hopefully she feels better by Friday/Saturday. I really want her to enjoy herself and not be miserable and sick. I wish she would take better care of herself, but she thinks I'm being overbearing when I tell her to grab her jacket or that she should go to the dr, especially when its 4 days before our trip, like I was telling her yesterday.

Well, Tuesday is clear. It looks like it's going to be really nice all week!

Ummmm...Kailyn finds me to be overbearing at times, I think. Like when I'm telling her to fix her shirts. We have one shirt that is the same and I was having the same issue when I was wearing it and she had a field day telling me, "Meg, fix your shirt! GOD!"

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

70's is PERFECT! I'm a little jealous....

so you will have no more bad Disney dreams!

to Kris, I hope she feels better by the time she has to fly.

Thank you! I'm hoping she feels better soon.

I got a really good idea from another DIS-er...I started a "Disney binder" and have everything in there. I'm using the clear plastic page protectors for the menus, calendar, etc. and then I have the pocket-pages to put in important documents I don't want to forget! It's hilarious because I don't allow anyone to even touch the binder...just in case they'd lose a paper out of it!

Almost 2 days!

CONGRATS on 2 DAYS!!!! How exciting!!!!

I have a folder that holds all my important paperwork. I just haven't had time to put it in there yet That may be my project after Finance this morning, unless I feel that I need that mid-morning nap

Yay for 2 Days!!!!
