I would say...The more the merrier!Anyone else?
Since UJ is obviously busy I'm going to hijack and take a poll!![]()
Which month would you rather go to Disney and why~
1. January
2. April
3. July
4. October
Furthermore... which of those months would you NOT go and why?
(Okay, July seems an obvious month to NOT go but maybe some feel differently.)
UJ IS HERE!! Sorry been very busy....now that we have a new house we have to build a extra sturdy deck for our hot tub.....put in a whole freakin yard......that is turning into a nightmare!! Guy came out today, told me $5,600.oo for a yard.....well kiss my top soil.....aint gonna happen......and I thought the guy who bid at $2100.00 was nuts......
I have to build a large shed, the garage we have is too freakin small for all my tools and stuff.......(it will really be a man cave!!LOL)
I have been washing all the windows.......work work work......did I forget to mention.......moving sucks???
Back to DIS......You ladies rock!!! I forget to mention that enough!!
Disney would be cool in October......Lets all go this October....We will save some of our free passes from our upcoming trip!!! Or January would be good. I have always dreamed of doing the Disney marathon......I always thought if I ever get back into shape enough to do a marathon, it should be the Disney one......even though I read here it is a boring course......
Let me run this by you ladies.....Our upcoming trip: Our flight leaves Michigan at 12:30pm on Sat., we arrive in Orlando at 3:00.......I thought we had an earlier flight....guess I didnt pay close attention....I see now the airlines has a flight that leaves at 7:20AM and gets into Orlando at 10:15am....If I could get tickets for about $50 ea. would it be worth the extra $100 to get there 5 hours earlier????
I have looked at changing our current tickets but they charge $80 ea. to do that....Right now the earlier flight is $64pp w/taxes it is $150 ......If I cancel our noon flight we would get vouchers to use at a later time (within 1 year of purchase!!)
See how anal I get about this whole Disney thing......I figure it's 5 more hours at the world!!!!
Also, because the flight would be so early we would have to drive the 2 hours to the airport on friday night and stay at a hotel !! So the trip would now start on Friday instead of Saturday!! WOOOO HOOOOO !!!
Tell me what you think!!!
HEY LOVE!!
Sorry to tell you......We are all (the whole fam damily, but you guys!!) getting together on July 4 at your sis' house!!! Big cookout, burgers, dogs, pop, beer.....pool!!!!![]()
We wish you were here!!! You could get in the car Thurs. AM and be here thurs. night.....you could stay with us........head back home Sunday or whenever!!!!![]()
UJ might even be taking a road trip this week to Indiana to buy fireworks!!!
SHHHHHH Dont tell anyone- they are illegal in MI!!!
WOOOOO HOOOOO![]()

Which airline are you taking? Air Tran has been messing with everyone's flights and not telling them. You're not being anal about it, I'm sure we'd all do the same thing. I vote for leaving earlier, but you'll have to be at the airport at like 5 a.m. That could be a good thing, though, since its usually less crowded in the morning and you'd get through security much easier. So what if you have to leave a day earlier? Make it a special night in the hotel!
I am required by law to feed these kids.![]()
As for the flight change..... what does your wife say? Or haven't you told her?I say if it's okay with her and you can manage to get over to the airport the night before then go for it. Then use your vouchers to COME SEE ME!

Spirit Air....I joined the $9 fare club.......cheap flights...but they just added luggage fees.....and pick your seat fees.......it all adds up.......We bought round trip Detroit to MCO (nonstop) for $97pp.....but luggage is now $15 per bag....sot thats $30 down and $30 back for us 2.......We flew Spirit last Aug. and it was $5 for each bag!! I didnt know they increased the fee!!
We prob. wont pick our seats unless they say they wont put us together.....I think thats $10pp........
We have a good hotel we can stay at for about $85 and you can park your car for up to 10 days..at that rate..... (in April we paid $130 in Chicago for the same thing).
I have never flown Airtran......dont know much about them....usually fly- Northwest, American, Spirit, United, Delta...........I rec'd an email from Spirit our return flight time changed by 30 minutes.....No big deal.....
We can usually make it 1 week at Disney with 1 large suitcase each....its the shoes that kill us.....we both take about 8 pair!!!! We will put shoes in our carry on bags!!! Security goes ape crap over it and xrrays them 3 times, they call a supervisor over......talk real hush hush....its hillarious....
Hey, one thing I learned they cant xray in your carry on....the clay filled poker chips....looks like a big black blob.....when we went on our cruise....I took about 200 chips in my carry on.....you would have thought I was smuggling small children aboard.........the Sgt. came over...opened my bag with rubber gloves, asked if he was going to get stuck by anything......used a stick to open it up....it was funny!!!!!! He was acting all serious (I know that routine!!!)....I promised him I didnt have anything illegal in there......
The machine cant see through them!!!!
8 shoes each![]()
are you serious or just yanking our chain?
I do not even own 8 pairs of shoes and I am a girl![]()
Now you too? My whole family is stalking me to throw the kids in the car and drive up there because now instead of a week off before the next school year begins, we have a month because of the schedule change. Which is awesome since we just had our 3 week break in May!![]()
But here is the dealeo ~ I drove the kids to Florida, remember? I just got the gas bill.SO: 1. I do not want to drive them up there myself because they drive me insane and Tom can't go. and 2. I really shouldn't rack up another great big gas bill... I am required by law to feed these kids.

But it's killing me. My mama is up there and it's her birthday on the 2nd, then my nephew's on the 3rd and then my sister's (Mrs. UJ) on the 6th... not to mention the 4th! And they are all celebrating without me.![]()
But I can't do it. So y'all just call me like you usually do and pass the phone around so I can at least say hi to everyone and then when we get off the phone I will bawl like a baby.![]()

Just ask DW!! Ok, maybe not 8 pair.....lets count![]()
1. Adidas slides- a must..I dont walk barefoot on carpet in hotels.
2. Sandals- leather- for DTD
3. Asic running shoes- I wear in the parks
4. Asic running shoes- run in the mornings- they get all sweaty
5. Brown slip on loafer- with tassels - for dinner
6. Black slip on loafer- for dinner
If you wear a black belt, you have to have black shoes, same with brown.....its a must!!!
OK it was 6!! Thats not too many, is it??![]()
That's okay Carla.... you know how much I missing all the time too.
And you are so very right! Tomato is really all for putting the cruise off for awhile. He said we could almost pay for TWO trips to WDW or *gasp* one there and one "somewhere else"eek: ) for what we would pay for the cruise. I am 99% sure it's a done deal and we are cancelling.... just have to send an e-mail to our agent. Maybe later.
I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to do it.... it all makes perfect sense.... I'm just disappointed I guess.
I just remembered....
UNCLE JOHN went to Disney in July once. I believe his exact words when they returned home were...
"WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!"
Blasphemy!
Not to mention, a BIG FAT LIE!

Love, something about that North Carolina weather has made you weak....Woman up and get in the car and drive!!! Throw a couple 99 cent double cheeseburgers in the back seat and crank up the stereo and hammer down.......
What does my wife say?? Are you serious???? Told her what???
You know when I plan a Disney trip I make all the decisions, I am the grand Poo-Ba for Disney trip planning........Nothing will be questioned......
Oz has spoken!!!!!!
Ok, so I am the man of the house as long as she's not home!!!!![]()
DW just read our posts....she told me she didnt care if we went on the earlier flight and had to spend more $$ !!!! WOOOOO HOOOO Mrs. Oz has spoken!!!
Green light is on for UJ!!!!![]()

WOW... LOVE HAS LOTS TO SAY! (Shocking, I know!)
NC has nothing to do with it man! How would you like to travel for 15 hours with these 3 kids all by yourself???????? Yes, that is what I thought... now be quiet.![]()
No I was not serious... I am not new... I knew she would know nothing of it until you decided you really wanted to do it and THEN you run it by her!![]()
And you are not the grand poo-ba..... you are JOHN THE GREAT PANINI!
Yep, that's more like it!![]()
Glad you got permission.![]()
Cuz she loves me.![]()
I own more than 8 pairs of shoes but I don't take that many to WDW! Tennies and some sandals. That's it.
Yes, it is too many! Seriously, at least just one pair of loafers... choose black or brown for the week. It'll be your theme.![]()
A tad perhaps.![]()

Running while on vacation, that is dedication![]()
I could handle driving my niece and nephews across the country...!!!l
No problem......a few videos, go to the dollar store for prizes for being good,
license plate game, not a problem at all!! Smoooothe sailing...plus I got that "I'll punch your freakin lights out" for my backup plan!!![]()
Too many shoes.....I think not.....black or brown....that wont work for me...I have to be able to decide at that time...not 5 days before....![]()
High maintenance, maybe so........I want my stuff right!!!! DW is just as picky as me......she takes 6 pairs of flip flops plus her other shoes!!!
UJ is just plain picky!!!!It's all good!!!
I have to, that free dining adds up!!!
The real reason: I'm bored. DW can sleep in until 9 or 10, 1 hour to do hair and makeup, I'm up around 6.
I'll walk to the main building, get my coffee, go through the gift shop for the 20th time.....walk around some more, find a paper, sit on a bench.....then go for a run.......
Meanwhile we are missing everything at the parks....everybody else in the world is up and at the entrance gates to the parks.....except us.....We are missing it all!!! Thats how I feel anyway!!!!
I think they should open parks at 5:00AM so I could get 5-6 hours in the park then go back to the room and get everyone else!!!! Our last trip, the boys would sleep until 11:00.....drove me nuts!!
Sorry, I'm ADD....Attention Disney Disorder!!!![]()
Mean UJ! You don't seriously threaten that, do you?
![]()
Can't you just wake them up and say, "Get the hell outta bed, you're wasting time!" Or doesn't that work?
NC has nothing to do with it man! How would you like to travel for 15 hours with these 3 kids all by yourself???????? Yes, that is what I thought... now be quiet.![]()
