I like it but I like Becky's chain too! think I'll have to do that one next time (Ashton will be older and should enjoy the trivia)...I think he will have a blast taking them off each night!

Awww! Thanks Connie!!!

So sorry that Dayne's basketball season is over but glad it isn't a bad break! Praying it heals fast!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

I Love your countdown calendar!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Poor Dayne!! I am sure that must be so hard to miss the rest of the season! For Breakfast's if I was going to pick two...

I would suggest that while I really love Ohana I would take advantage of seeing the most characters and getting into two parks before park opening!! Tusker House at AK Park is great because it lets you out RIGHT NEXT TO the Safari!!!! You can be one of the first ones to ride!! You know how much I LOVE being in an empty MK - plus CP is a really pretty place and I just love Winnie the Pooh and the gang!

Sorry to hear that Dayne won't be able to finish up the basketball season.

I'm sorry to hear Dayne's Basketball season is over.
I love your countdown calendar!! Congrats for booking. Hmmm, only 2 breakfasts... I would definitely do Crystal Palace. How exciting about getting a pin for Universal. I'm chaperoning Emily's end of the year field trip to Islands of Adventure in the end of May. I wonder if the new Harry Potter area will be open for you. I'm looking forward to what the Harry Potter Haunted mansion will be like.

Connie, I hope he ehals well without the need for surgery. I would be sad too to miss my senior year of my sport. I hope he is able to come to terms with this soon.

Thanks! Megan; we'll see how he does tonight...his team has a game, I think he plans to go.

Awww! Thanks Connie!!!

Thanks! Becky I told him to stop holding it over his head at night and when lounging around, told him that he needs all the blood flow he can get in the area...DMIL told him to try drinking a galloon of milk a day.

I think it is going to be DSB and CP! and hope I can get in for the empty parks.

Sorry to hear that Dayne won't be able to finish up the basketball season.

Thanks! Lisa he is really bummed but I still think he is expecting to play for the playoffs and he has been putting all his thoughts into his car...Danny was suppose to helping him buy a new engine and instead they have decided to just rebuild his so, he has something new to think about!

Thanks! Barbara I don't know about HP when I booked the room she explained that the express pass can be used for every attraction as many times as we wanted in a day; but, that in the HP area we could only use it once a day...so, she made it sound like it would be open. I hope so! we do not plan to return to the Orlando parks again for a number of years after this.

I Love your countdown calendar!

Thanks! Ashton was so excited when I let him take the first two numbers off! and it makes everyone in the house realize just how close we are!

So, Gwendolyn and Joe had decided that they were going to Dollywood this year instead of coming back with us her spring break is for the Easter holiday and Dayne's is at the end of April (low season at WDW ). Well, last night after we left the resturant she send me a text message telling me that "SHE IS GOING TO DISNEY" I sent back "WHEN", I got back "WHEN ASHTON GOES"

So, Gwendolyn and Joe are coming with us!!!

Now, I need to do some more planning!!
we need to see what we are going to do now about Universal (I think we are going to leave things they the way they are for that and they will need to decide if they want to stay on site or across the street. But, we are now going to use the "Military Salute" offer so we are going from 5 days down to 4 (I wonder how much it would cost to add day 5 to that ticket...I wonder who could answer that...maybe SoG ) so, as you can see I need to get more researching done! and some added booking...

I also need to change our breakfast ressies and see what Gwendolyn and Joe wants to join us for.

We haven't been to Universal in years! I'm going to get the express pass for me and Emily. (as long as her partner is getting it too) I wonder if I can use the express pass for HP?! The only thing I'm going to do there is the haunted mansion type ride. I need to do some research after this trip.
That's great that the others will be joining you. As long as you have a nice raid plan you can get everything done in each park and have time for some repeats. I'm trying to decide if we should skip DHS this trip and have 2 full days at Epcot.
Have a good day!

Finally, went to the New Olreans Museum of Art today! for the viewing of " Disney's Dreams Come True"

I LOVED IT!! Our neighbors went with us...Danny and our two wonderful friends made fun of me the entire time...Danny told me I was Disney'ing him to death (sorry did not think that was possible). Anyway, we ALL loved it!!!! even Danny...it was AWESOME!!

We than went out to dinner and went walk on Bourbon...got them into a dance club which was playing 80's Rock...home by 10:30 we are getting old...but, we had a wonderful day! Thanks for letting me share!

Have a great weekend; everyone!

 

[kcandbella]

Just found your PTR and wanted to say hi! We will miss you by a day but I am going to go back and read all of your plans. Your calendar looks great...I was thinking of doing something along those lines.

Hi! Kayce over...
Thank you for the compliments on the calendar! it was fun putting it together and we are having a blast doing our happy dance nightly...

I don't remember jumping and dancing; but, I must have because now each night Ashton takes off a number and tells me "DANCE" with me! we are going to have a blast!!!

BTW--my PTR is crazy and it is really just starting finally....I should have probably started a new one!! oh well join me in the planning fun...and so sorry to hear that we are going to miss one another by one day!

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Wow, that sounds really neat at the museum!!! And you must be very excited about your additions to your Disney trip!!

YOUR TRIP IS SO CLOSE!!! I cannot wait to be counting down the weeks!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

I bet you are even more excited now that Gwendolyn and Joe are coming along!

I would love to go to the museum and see the Disney exhibit. Funny about Danny saying you were Disney'ing him to death. John knows me by now and doesn't even bat an eyelash when I start taking Disney.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

here are a few shots of the outlet purchases I made last week!
Ashton's $12 jacket (it is really big on him--but it should last a few of our LA winters)

gifts for Ashton's girls
the water bottle is for their Easter basket and the pj's are for their b-days in July (now I just need to pick up a small toy to go with it)

Danny's two t's

the back of his goofy shirt

my three T's (not sure if I like the Tinkerbell T)

and my two hoodies (that I have not tried on but Gwendolyn insist will be to short)

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Just booked Gwendolyn & Joe's room and guess what when I added them and Dayne's friend Todd...we became a GRAND GATHERING!!!

now I am off to start figuring out park times and crowd estimates...I still need to make index cards for post card mailing--if you would like me to send one to your child PM me your info...

 

[mickeystoontown]

Wow Connie, you were able to get some great stuff. I have that exact same Tinkerbell shirt. My mother gave it to me for Christmas but she bought it big enough for me to sleep in because I needed a new sleep shirt.

 

[Brave teacher]

Oh...I am so jealous! I told Bryan that I wanted to head over to NOMA to see the Disney art presentation before it leaves. I need to look at it again to see when time runs out. How much is the fee to view it?

Great purchases and grat grand gathering news!

When Danny didn't want to go; I was going to PM you and ask you if you wanted to meet me there for a dis meet...I didn't think my neighbor would want to go along with me, how I got them all there was the walk and dinner in NO afterwards. Dayne was laughing as we were getting dressed telling Danny that I was going to culturlize (new word) and diney-fie them
it is $8 for a LA resident and it runs through March 15; you need about 1.5 -2 hrs it closes at 4:30 (not 5:30 like the web page says).

 

[Brave teacher]

What a bummer! It would have been cool to see that with you (along with a meet). I talked to Bryan. We definitely need to plan a day for he and I (and maybe Randy, Alisa, and my BIL & SIL) to head over there to view it before the 15th.

 

[BippityBoo]

CUTE purchases!!!! Where did you get that tink hoodie? It is just adorable!
