LOVE the Easter pics Connie!! I have not been happy with the park level ratings either, they seemed higher to me than I was expecting! Oh well, I know we will have a great time and I know it will help taking afternoon breaks! Awesome that Pop is paid in full now and the room situation is all taken care of!!! It doesn't look like our paths cross at all, but we are planning on seeing Spectro and Wishes on Wed night!!!!

Hey! Beth
maybe we can swap cell numbers and if we are both in MK for spectro & wishes we can meet up and catch it together! PM me if interested!!

about UG last night I seen Sunday has been bumped up to an 8 WOW! I would have thought the day before would have been busy not that sunday! OH! well...we may just have to hop a little different than I planned...I was thinking of doing Epcot on Sunday hopping over to MK that night for EMH and doing MK on Wed....we'll see

My girls really want to see "How to train your dragon" too, it looks really cute. Hope they had a great time at the movies!

Very cute Easter pics. I love egg hunt pictures!

You know, Connie, I've never really worried about the park attendance levels. I plan my days around the park hours and don't worry too much about the crowds. It would stress me out waaaay too much if I added in the crowd levels in my planning.

 

[my2disneyboys]

When we went in May it was predicted to be lots of 7 and 8's and I still found the parks not too crowded! You guys are going to have a great time.

I love your easter photos! Your plans sound so great. I can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get home. I love the posters you made, too!

 

[disney<333]

Great Easter pictures Connie! Looks like EB was kind to your family. The girls love Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squakel. They got it too for Easter.
Your plans are sound great. I like the idea of a poster for each room. That way everyone knows, or should know the game plan for each day.
That's great news, no surgery!
These are my favorite places to meet the characters:
Epcot: UK- Alice, Marry Poppins, and the Pooh gang. They all have very short lines.
Character Connection- Meet the fab 5. Get here as early as possible.
Animal Kingdom- Camp Minnie and Mickey: I'm not sure who hangs out here but I know a lot of characters do.
DHS- The Magic of Disney Animation- Up, Mickey, and a LOT of random rare characters with short lines.

That poster is a really good idea. I was thinking of doing index cards held together with a binder ring for each person, that way I could add dining ressies and #'s, but I may need to do a poster, too!

Just noticed your ptr. No way I am getting thru all 113 pages, but see that you are about the same distance away as I am and as you noticed on nicoles ptr are going to be in disney some of the same dates. We actually will be in epcot on the 28th as well. We are leaving out that day, but are planning on spending as much time as we can there. We live just outside baton rouge, how about you? Maybe we will see you in Epcot.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Great plans! You're going to have soo much fun!

Ashley,
if you want to catch up on the latest planning and skip all the extra I do have a table of content that will lead you to the post of planning and pictures from last year.
We live in Ponchatoula! I plan to have a lime green Mickey head w/my dis name on it...but, still have not made it yet and still have not decided which bag I plan to carry. But, I will post it as soon as I decide...hope to see you there!

Hopefully the UG CC is wrong I hope you are able to do all that you want. I know that having the ability to park hop, is nice too so if you run into unbelievable crowds you can switch parks to get something do at a different one.

I think the park hopping helps too! with crowd levels...I think we should be OK

What a great idea to make a poster with all of the times for the week That will be so helpful, I'm sure - especially with a larger group! Love it!

I hope so! last year I had given them the wrong EMH info and it was a mess one morning so this should help

Great minds think alike 'cause you just took the words out of my mouth!

Looks like we will be in Epcot at the same time! We're hoping that our flight will be on time and Magical Express and check-in process will go smoothly and we can get to the park in time for lunch!

I'll keep and eye out you do the same...it would be fun to run into one another!

My girls really want to see "How to train your dragon" too, it looks really cute. Hope they had a great time at the movies!

Very cute Easter pics. I love egg hunt pictures!

Thanks! Gwendolyn said it was a really cute movie!

Lisa, I never worried much about the numbers before either...I was trying to plan according to be able to see everything! But, I do know that the numbers are high on that Sunday because of EMH; and we plan to make use of those too!

When we went in May it was predicted to be lots of 7 and 8's and I still found the parks not too crowded! You guys are going to have a great time.

Thanks! Nickie that does make me feel better.

I love your easter photos! Your plans sound so great. I can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get home. I love the posters you made, too!

Thanks! April

Thanks! Barbara for sharing your character spots! I hope to hit character connection bright and early! while everyone else is running to Soarin' like you guys were able to do!

no one in my group would carry the cards but me, but the posters should be a huge help for them. I know Gwendolyn will make use of them.

Great plans! You're going to have soo much fun!

I can't wait to read how your week went!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

15 DAYS! I CANNOT WAIT!!! IT IS TOO FAR AND SO CLOSE... this week coming we will start the packing!!!!

​

 

[cajunfan]

Hello from a fellow Westbank native!

My mom remembers both of you! She said you were both really nice kids...she finally retired last year...well sort of...she retired from school only to work at the rectory at St. Bonnaventure part time!

by the way you all are close to my younger sisters ages...Connie and Michelle...we all went to Higgins.

Lynn

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Lynn
I remember your mom; I just told Danny I don't remember how many children your mom had...but, I did mention Connie & Michelle (I was between the two). When you said Avondale I knew it had to be her or Mrs. Hulan (and I did not think it was Ms. H as she now lives around the corner from us).. Please tell your mom we said hello! what a small world!

Well, Lynn to my PTR I hope you find time to stick around and help me plan out the last two weeks before we go.
Connie

I can't believe you are leaving in 15 days!!! Actually, it's just after midnight here, so 14 days!!

 

[cajunfan]

I am the middle child of the family (and mom's favorite...just ask any of my siblings!). Connie & Michelle are the babies of our family of 5 kids. Do you have older siblings? Your maiden name sounds familiar to me so does your hubby's...I remember going to school with a Denise with his last name. I graduated HS 1980. It really is a small world....

Thanks! for celebrating with me! I have been saying 14 days all evening--Danny corrected me twice ...just posted a hello on your PTR great UP night!

Hey! Lynn
Denise is Danny's older sister; he had an older brother, Don, and Denise his sister. I come from a family of 2 children and my sister is younger than I am so you would not know her.You probably remember some of my cousin's --Lisa B, Joan B, Diane B?!? I think Lisa is closer to your age than the other two. Yes, it certaintly is a small world...I have seen both Michelle and Connie on FB we share alot of the same friends. How is your mom? She was always such a happy and upbeat person...I think that is one of the reasons she was always EVERYONES favorite teacher. She knew how to be a teacher, it was a pleasure for her. Unlike some teachers who seem to be bothered with the children in their class. I know middle school is hard; she had the gift!! Again, let her know we said hello!
Connie

 

[leamom2princesses]
