but while she's telling them tales of our childhood...I could make a clean getaway. it would be just like mom to sacrifice her own freedom for mine...ours...naturally we'll bust her out for Disney!
I totally quoted this and posted a few days ago, where did it go?:confused
So....I did not fall off the face of the earth, although there are days I wish that were possible...."STOP the world! I want to get off!"
Once the ride is in motion there is no stopping it. Please keep all arms inside the ride vehicle at all times.
but I will tell you Ty has come up with a brilliant plan. It's called "operation waverly" look for it on our trip report coming to a computer near you December 2011.
It's brilliant, we might need to video that and youtube it."Operation Waverly." I'm so brilliant I sometimes scare myself.
have the grandbabies this weekend...doubt I'll get much more disney stuff done.
It's our first time so I hope that Ty writes all she knows and Bo adds all she's researched! 
Hey I came back and to read and just finished- yeah my 6 year old thinks that Friday means no bedtime all of a sudden? Don't know where he got that from (DH), but I will break it!
Anyway, you guys are so funny! And I love that you have it all planned! We are going in Dec. too (18-23). I have been planning it and trying to ask for tips so people that have been there start mumbling things like remember to bring snacks because it's allowed, wear comfy shoes and simple stuff like that...I mean they all know me and I'm a planner! Then they ask when we are leaving (a real quote from a soccer mom at practice "Your not going until December and you made me think of things now?") REALLY she's been there I haven't she should know!!!!
But I'm going to be coming here to help keep me organized- I'm a planner, but I'm a planner like Ty- lots of messy craziness that only looks organized to the trained eye that way no one else knows what we have up our sleeve!
I actually need Ty in my home with DH for an hour- I keep getting things like does DS really need an autograph book? Do we really have to eat at the parks? And so on! I am sure though that you might have met your match with him!
But this is great! I am a little curious though on some things... how do you know when Fantasmic is? And going on last years EMH and times is that usually accurate or semi accurate?
Oh no! Don't ask non-dissers tips for WDW. You'll usually end up with a similar comment. I mentioned to a girl the other day that I was so excited my ADR day was coming up. She asked when I was going and then looked at me like I was insane for the rest of the day.
I mentioned that we were planning a trip to a guest in my line at work a few weeks ago and she started lecturing me and insisting that we needed to buy 10 day non-expiring park hoppers because they own a vacation home down there and that's what they do so they can use the leftover days next time. People on disboards understand that everyone tours in different ways and not every tip works for every person.
You'll have to wait for December hours to be released to be sure of Fantasmic!. October was just release a few weeks ago.
I leanred my lesson!

We didn't do autographs our first time, and by we I mean me, I really regretted it so I made it a priority my 2nd time, I had several different colors of 4x6 paper and a small clipboard, each time I would see a character I would pull out a piece that color coordinated with the character for them to sign, then I would put that autograph in the back of the stack. I am a scrapbooker, so once I got home I already had their signature on pretty paper and then I would add my pic with the character on another sheet of paper, so basically I had the signature with the picture all in a 7x7 album. I will try and post a few pictures for you later so you can see what I'm talking about.Oh no! Don't ask non-dissers tips for WDW. You'll usually end up with a similar comment.

I love when people come through my line and we can talk Disney, usually it's somebody paying with a Disney Visa and that's the ice breaker. "OOOhDisney, saving up points? Do you have a trip planned? Awesome, where are you staying?" I have met a few Diser's too, noby that knew of me though, but we did have some favorite TR authors in common and we discussed their TR.

Oh goody, so maybe I will do this then!Thanks for coming over and reading.
I am totally with you when it comes to early planning. Yes I may seem a little unorganized....to other people but there is a method to plan, eventually the scribbled numbers on a crumbled up piece of paper will make it into my planning binder but for right now it's where I need it to be.
Especially because I am CONSTANTLY changing what we (meaning I) really want to do!
I remember my very first trip to WDW, it was in April of 06, my DH and 2 kids. I didn't know any better and didn't make hard core plans, I jotted points of interest down but that was it, I had the DDP but didn't use all my TS credits, I thought I could make ADR's while I was down there, I did have a few before I went and I only made them because the birnbaum book said it would be a good idea and that was at like 30ish days out. I wished I had known then what I know now.
My 2nd, 3rd and 4th trips though there was no stopping me.
Your question about Fantasmic...I am going boy last years calendar, I've done it that way in the past, it's not 100% accurate, I have had to tweak things before when the times were released for my actual dates. But if I have a Disney trip in the works I have got to be planning the whole time, I don't have the patience to wait for the park hours and extras to be released
I at least this way have a tentative idea of what I'm going to be doing and when.
Yes! your DS really needs an autograph book, you can tell your DH I said so!
Yeah I like your idea, I was thinking of a real autograph book- but I love the idea of having the autograph with the picture! Some people have the characters sign a print out paper of with the characters picture on it, but how do you know which ones you will see?
I am waiting for Decembers release, then the super duper really awesome planning can start, I can switch for my pencil for a pen and make things a little more permanent.
just kidding, you know I love you, come back soon, I miss you, even though I talk to you every day on the phone, I still need you here too.
thank you, it's be nice if Bo ever got on here and posted some though. This is really her PTR and I am doing all the work.
Do you hear that Bo, slacker! I am doing all the work. I suppose you'e going to want me to carry you on my shoulders at Disney World too
So anyway, here's a page from of my autograph album, it's a 7x7.
I wanted to have a premade page for each character but like you said, you don't know if you'll even see them so that's why I just brought colored card stock, it worked out great in the end.
Do you hear that Bo, slacker! I am doing all the work. I suppose you'e going to want me to carry you on my shoulders at Disney World too
Bag looks a lot like the one you were looking for though.
Sure borrow away, I borrowed the idea of just bringing card stock for the characters to sign from somebody else on the Dis.
Uuummm no! I probably will not offer to carry you at Disney, I'm not as nice as I used to be
. Remember when we were stuck in that line for 2 hours on black friday and I told you that should I parish first you could eat my flesh for nourishment? Those days are over, partly because you don't eat meat now...duh, but mostly because I have gotten stingy in my old age, however should I find a tic tac in my pocket and we are both on the brink of starvation I will over to split it with you.
Bo, have you found your bag yet that you are planning to use in WDW?
I have not purchased one yet but I have found a really cute one at a outdoor store. I think it is called Mountain Co. It's probably just a Canadian store though
she better not wear them either. she can wear the skinny jeans, I can not, I need the boot cut.lol, now she's telling me about her disney extreme exercise regime...sounds good, if yall are there in december look for the girls lunge walking up to the castle, seriously though, I do need to increase my endurance.
