Loved your title so I had to check it out. So fun to be doing a report with your sister. You two, well three, are hilarious, it is wonderful that you get to share Disney with your Mom.

I have PWDD as well. I can turn any conversation into a talk about Disney. I tell myself not to do it and then I hear Disney phrases coming out of my mouth then it is too late to turn back so I keep on going.

You will love WDW, it is gorgeous and the happiness is infectious. We will be in WDW in December as well, the decorations are amazing.

Your plans look great, I hope you enjoy MVMCP, we love it. I can't wait to read more.

It sounds like you girls have it all under control. I am working on the butt blankets. Ty and I discovered today that it's going to have to be sewn by hand, the material is too thick to fit through the machine.

what took Ty years to do with me, took her a mere hour with my man.

OK, I seriously need to see a picture of exactly what a butt blanket is.

that was my sweet sis TY...and now me. I wonder if there is a genetic predisposition for PWDD? I think I was probably born with it...but it laid dormant until just the right conditions...the rest is history.

Ty and I made a copy of the plans for you so you can pencil in changes...notes etc. my butt has never had a blanket of it's own. it always had to share with my arms and legs...this is nice, I kinda feel like Royalty. We are sure to fit in at the CRT with our Butt blankets!

Exhausted from the 56 hour whirlwind visit and planning session with Ty I could really use some good sleep, but it was not to be. I had to Drive my DH to the airport at 4 this morning. I set my alarm for 3, my HH (hairbrained Husband) set his for 2:30. his alarm has to be loud or he won't hear it... scared the beejeebies out of me...I jumped out of bed expecting to see micheal meyers or jason...then I realized it was BIG BEN. Jerry did not, I repeat, did NOT, get out of bed until 3:30! BIG BEN cont'd going off every 7 minutes...for an hour! I was not happy, i told him every 10 minutes or so what time it was, and finally he said, "I'm not worried, I can sleep on the way there". Surely he jests...he did not. I was sooooo tired at work today...I tried opening the elevator door with my car starter. been chatting with Ty. She keeps talking about her "park bag" so naturally I had her fill me in on the purpose...etc. and what qualities I should look for in a "park bag". She led to the BAGGALINNI! Sheer genius! I ordered it...it should be here March 25th! until then, I have a picture of it in my Disney binder. I also have a disney notebook on my desk at work, so if I think of something I can write it down immediately, then transfer the info to my official binder, which will then be transfered to my transporter! I am soooo excited! How many Days Ty? I know you have it calculated.

 

[BoBippity]

silly me! "transporter!" I meant "passporter", something else Ty introduced me to, and so the little sister continues to teach the big sister...
oh hey! while Ty was out her, I just happened to get a few pictures that makes me feel pretty confident that "the one" will never appear on the disboards...you shouldn't have slept Ty.

Your sister is GREAT!!! She has you completely hooked on WDW and you haven't even stepped foot on property yet !!

Aren't Disney binders wonderful?? Great idea about having the notebook at work. You need a ticker in your signature so you can see the days ticking away.

I just know the minute you get it you will be 'mock packing' it. It's ok though, we all do it.


Sheer genius!

It's about time oyu recognize that too.

which will then be transfered to my transporter!

You have a Disney transporter? How much did that run ya? Do you just give Disney your coordinance and they beem you over?

silly me! "transporter!" I meant "passporter",

I knew what ya meant but I still had to laugh at ya.
oh hey! while Ty was out her, I just happened to get a few pictures that makes me feel pretty confident that "the one" will never appear on the disboards...you shouldn't have slept Ty.

Really? I shouldn't have slept? Well maybe you should have locked the door when you showered.... just kidding....or am I I wouldn't go feeling so confidant just yet my dear Bo.

Your sister is GREAT!!! She has you completely hooked on WDW and you haven't even stepped foot on property yet !!


That was my plan...and it's working
It's ok to drink the koolaid Bo.

She does need a ticker, We were going to do that while I was out there but we forgot, I am sure she can figure out how to do that without me though.

I love going to Bo's house. For me it's like staying at a Bed and Breakfast. On my TR's I always mention my Martha Stewart like sister Bo, I am not in the least exagerating either.

She had a little basket of lotions, shampoos, tea, coffee, plus my towel and a mug all set up in a cute basket just waiting for me in my room. She is the greatest hostest. The meals she serves are amazing, and even the snacks are fun but healthy. I think it's the whole combination of things that made the entire weekend grand.

Planning with her was fun and less stressful. I usually do all the planing for the trips, my fellow travelers have always said, "what ever you plan will be fine with me." and I would think "Yea, full control and no questions asked." But I would stress so bad, and people couldn't understand why I would feel stressed. Ya'll Dis'ers will know though. Trying to plan a 10 day Disney vacation without park hoppers and the Dp, then add in wanting to avoid the heavy crowd days but still get the most bang for your buck, plus you have to figure out MVMCP schedule and wishes and Fantasmic, shows parades etc..etc.. it makes my mind mush.

But Bo and I work together like a well oiled machine. And of course with her super organization skills...there was no way we could go wrong. We wrote things down, color coded them, cross referenced them and a little over 3 hours later we had our tentative itinerary. Everybody knows that a Disney planned vacation is always changing like the tide but if all goes accordingly, we won't have to change anything, but maybe just tweak a few things here and there.
There are some things we are looking into, like the dessert party, it's rumored to be coming back, the behind the seeds tour looks to be pretty interesting too. These are on our hope list, not to be confused with the bucket list.

Now having a plan all set, one can not sit back and relax, a true disney lover will continue to feed their mind, keep the knowledge of all things Disney growing and growing. I can picture Bo's mind, she has a place reserved for Disney, I am sure it is color coded and possibly even has potpourie burning, maybe an apple pie scent.

My mind I am more than sure looks like a hoarders house. But I know right where everything is.

But anyway, we had to make the trip to Borders to gain more Disney knowledge, I mean yes, the internet is full of Disney knowledge, but it's not always at your fingertips. Bo, found the perfect book.

See that determined look on her face? I see in her eyes, "I am going to learn more about Disney World and nobody can stop me.!"""

I have always gotten the Birnbaum book, every year I need the new one, the majority of the time it is exactly the same as the year before, but getting the new years Birnbaum is the Disney thing to do. I have looked at the passporter in the past few years, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy a planner when I could make one of my own, and I always did, and I would adorn it with stickers. But this time, this trip....it's going to be the best trip ever, the most super specialist, if there were a better word than "Bomb Diggety" I would use it. I had to have the passporter.

This book makes me feel superior in planning now. I actually felt like I went up a few notches in the eyes of Disney. I'm sure Walt smiled and nodded when I made that purchase.

Bo got one too, and now we constantly text or call eachother, "Check out page 288 paragraph 4." or Did you read page 132 paragraph 2? What do ya think?" The pass porter has really connected us in the Disney planning.

We couldn't wait to get home to read it. No serioulsy...we couldn't wait.
We each got a salty toffee mocha and planted our butts in the comfy seats to get our Disney read on, we were filling our tummys with coffee and our minds with the most useful of Disney knowledge, we even got little sticky notes to mark pages with super useful important information.

I love Disney, and I love planning, but I really love planning Disney with my sister. I didn't think we could get any closer than we are, but this is now another thing we share. All the laughing and carrying on is just more great memories for me.

We also made a stop at the Home Depot so I could introduce Bo to LGMH's.
I'll save the story of the Limey Hiest for a later post.

 

[disneyaddicted]

I thought I would add a few more of our planning pictures.

See that? Still in my jammies, hair not done, preshowerous. (I think that's a word) I call this picture...dedication.

typing up a rough draft, once printed this will be the copy that gets scripbbled on over and over but then eventually will make it's way into the passporter for it's permanant stay. Ya gotta love rough drafts, and colorful highlighters. I think highlighters were invented with Bo in mind.

 

[veggiemama]

I'm here, joining the fun. We are heading to WDW in Dec too!

Looking at the pictures makes me want to go buy some books..... and since I will be in the city close to where I live today and conveniently there is a bookstore, I think I will just have to go pick up some books to read. Aaahhhh, the addiction starts again!

You have a Disney transporter? How much did that run ya? Do you just give Disney your coordinance and they beem you over?
not a thing...I won it at the church raffle.

Really? I shouldn't have slept? Well maybe you should have locked the door when you showered.... just kidding....or am I I wouldn't go feeling so confidant just yet my dear Bo.
NOT!

you know me so well. I am getting ready to switch the scents though...getting ready for spring I'm thinking maybe lavender/sage. ALso, my disney section is color coded, alphabetized AND cross referenced.
My mind I am more than sure looks like a hoarders house. But I know right where everything is.
seems to me I tried following you there, got lost, cut my foot on what I believe was a stale tuna sandwhich

How fun! buy the books! Sooo, you are a vegan? I'm a vegetarian...how food friendly is Disney? we took a look at some menus, and I did see some stuff, but still a little concerned.

 

[BoBippity]

Apparently I still have much to learn about the "multi quote" forgive my ineptness.
SOoo, DH is working in FLorida right now, which is why I can be on the computer thinking, writing, and reading disney! I have my grandbabies this weekend, and probably won't get too many chances to get on and read stuff...unless.... "Girls? how would you like nana to read you a story?" that could work! Ty's genius is rubbing off!

 

[disneyaddicted]

Really Bo? You had to go and mention the stale tuna sandwhich?! Not cool.
there's no way a stale sandwhich could cut your foot. I didn't even like Tuna back then. That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

Just giving you something to read to the girls....

I am a vegan. I will be updating my PTR with the why's and how's soon.

Last time we went to Disney I did pretty well. I brought some of my own food, protein bars mainly and no one ever questioned me. I made ADR for 1 restaurant every day that we were in the park and because we were staying in a condo it had a full kitchen so I could eat breakfast at the condo. During the day I ate lots of fruit and even splurged and had a pretzel a couple of times (they are vegan) Many of the quick service were able to take off the dairy of a vegetarian food item so that made it easy for me. I did eat a few veggie burgers which, though not the thing I want to do always it was ok.

Once I get my computer and photos straightened out I will post some pictures of the fabulous food that chefs made for me!

 

[lbuzz52]

you ladies are hilarious! Now i know right where to go when i need a giggle fix. Ty you always get to have great groups to Disney with!
