WDW QUESTION OF THE DAY:​

“Give-A-Day Program: Did you participate?”​

If so, let me know about your experience and what you are going to do/have done with the vouchers?

If you did not, how would you vote if you did have a voucher: Free tickets, GAD fastpasses or charity donation?

We made blankets for Project Linus, it was very simple and since the organization in our county was not participating, we mailed them to a participating one about 3 hours away. We used one for the FP card and donated the other one to Dreams Take Flight Canada.

Your ADR choices look great! You picked all the ones I was going to recommend!

OH wow. What a great idea to use one and donate one Lots of people here on DIS did the Linus project.

Thank you so much! I was actually going to ask your opinion about my ADRs. So happy you approve

Thank you How is the cutest puppy ever?

He's a little menace! Hah, kind of serious, kind of joking. He's a puppy and acts like a puppy. He chews everything in sight, so we just have to make sure he's chewing the right things! But he's good, he's a little love puppy, absolutely loves to sit with me (when he's not chewing and/or playing!) I'm sure my PTR will be littered with pictures of him!

 

[2kids2luv]

Love your binder! My husband thought I was super organized and this puts me to shame. Looks like I just found another project to keep me busy.

Also, your pictures from DOI were great. We went to DOI (I think princesses) in Feb. and it was amazing. You're daughter's shirt is cute

LOL all puppies are!! There is a good non-chew spray at Pets Mart. You spray it on things he likes to chew. Dogs don't like the smell or taste. Worked well with my puppy!

I love when puppies cuddle! Bring on the pictures!!

LOL! Well thank you so much It was very easy---just hot glue, ribbon and scrapbook paper! I love being creative

DOI was so much fun! I really want to see a Princess one in the near future..hoping one comes around here!

I got my daughter's shirt with my Gymboree Gymbucks Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, I just love your binder!!! Now I need to go add some ribbon to mine!

 

[mom2mek]

Don't you just love how you can share pictures of a binder for Christmas and talk all things "holiday" with DISers in MAY?? I love it! Your binder is adorable! I can't wait to see how you fill it all up with tons of helpful hints and tips and plans!!

(BTW...I started a TR about my trip with Mom...here's the link:

Hi Katie! Sorry that I got so far behind on your PTR...but I caught up now!

I loved the photos of DOI...I really want to go someday! It was in a town about an hour away this past March. I kept asking my nephew if he wanted to go to that and he said yes...well, somehow I missed the dates. Luckily, he was able to go with his mom so he got to see it! But I missed it this year! I think my son will enjoy it more when he's a little older...I can't wait to take him and both of my nephews! That would be fun!

I absolutely LOVE your binder!!! I think my favorite part was the paper/ribbon on the divider sheets! I have those planning sheets that you used & they are super helpful!!! Don't you just love that ultimate packing list?!? I printed it out for a friend & they thought I was insane...but I used it for myself & think its great!

Can't wait to see pics of Imagination Movers!!! They were in OH and we were planning to go since its only about an hour or so drive...but they said that no one under age 3 is allowed in that theater. My son was upset...its one of the only shows he watches that keeps his attention the entire show. He also talks "to" the Movers & Warehouse Mouse when its on tv. Its so cute to watch him interact with the tv! I'm just really hoping that they decide to tour again within the next 2 years, so I can take him!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your planning binder & reading about your trip!!!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Adorable binder Katie! There's nothing better than a new trip binder!! SO exciting!

We picked up some of that stuff, I'm amazed at how well it works! He doesn't even try to bite/chew my laptop wire now! Only problem is that he really likes pants, so it's hard to get him to stop chewing on our pants. Can't very well bath ourselves in the anti-chew stuff He'll learn though

It's true! I'm thinking about a short December trip and I keep thinking, "I can go see the Santas around the World Showcase, maybe I can squeeze in the Candlelight Processional...oh, but I want to see the Castle all lit up. Hmm, but then I also need to see the lights at HS." I mention it to my boyfriend and he looks at me like I have two heads! At least there are sane people here on the DIS to share with!

Hope you don't mind, I'm coming over to your TR too

 

[DrMomof3]

I didn't have time yesterday to look thru your journal more. Love the awesome binder! I always think that I want to do cool things like that but then I run out of time.
My fantasy is to spend Christmas at Disney. Crowds and all! I'll live vicariously.

AHH that is exactly when we would go We are going back and forth between an adults only Poly trip or the cruise with the kids...I don't know if I could ever leave them behind BUT it would be awesome to tour without strollers. I will let you know!! My Travel Agent is running a GREAT deal for cruises right now. Her company got a large amount of rooms at very big discounts from what I understand. It is tempting for sure

YES! I make a binder for each trip. I love to look back and see what we did.

Isn't Angela your TA too? I thought the cruise dates were different ones than what we were eying. I am debating on the trip too...I know the one in May will be the family trip, our last bigger vacation before I start my PhD. DH and I are going to take an adults only weekend trip to somewhere closer, probably a B&B in a favorite location of ours. I really want to go on the cruise--we love going on cruises but have not been on one with DD yet. It will be either the cruise with a short park stay too or the cruise only. The park stay will depend on the BB offer we get when we go in September.

I need to get cracking on finishing my trip binder. I have so much saved on my computer, but not a lot printed out yet.

That's ok!!! We all get so busy...it is fine You would really love DOI if it ever comes your way!! I think the quality of the show is very similar to what you get at WDW!

I know what you mean about the Ultimate Packing List!! My friend asked me for one, but I just knew she would think I was an OCD nut if I gave it to her! So, I modified it

That is SO crazy that they did not let in anyone under three Isn't that their best audience? The IM tape their show, and are from the a city about 40 minutes away from here.They were offering tickets to hometown people for free because they are taping the concert for Disney Channel Are seats are not very good, but they were FREE!!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting

Adorable binder Katie! There's nothing better than a new trip binder!! SO exciting!

I AGREE!! I just love new trip binders...it makes the trip so real! Thanks so much

I will -- I think that will be my weekend project!

LOL Break out the glue gun!!!!

LOL! Pants...that is so funny Yes, he will learn, he is just a little pup!

LOL! I think my husband was excited, but then realized it was just May and kind of looked at me strange. Once I told him ADRs were made 180 days, it kind of made it better---maybe that is why they changed it We ARE more sane than regular people! LOL.

Sara's TR will be so fun! Can't wait to read it!

Thank you for coming back to read, Amanda The binder took no time at all! Really. Just hot glue gun, ribbon and scrapbook paper! We are crossing our fingers for low crowds on our dates (dec 11-16) BUT I would like to attempt a real Christmas at Disney one year...and maybe a New Year too! When the kids get older, I guess I am going to really have a hard time not going every year during Christmastime

Isn't Angela your TA too? I thought the cruise dates were different ones than what we were eying. I am debating on the trip too...I know the one in May will be the family trip, our last bigger vacation before I start my PhD. DH and I are going to take an adults only weekend trip to somewhere closer, probably a B&B in a favorite location of ours.

Well, my graduation date is May 14, 2011. I need at least a week to pack and the kids will still be in school. So---here are our 3 options.

1) 1/2 Poly stay (water parks, MK, etc) and 3 night cruise with the kids
2) Longer cruise only with the kids too
3) Adult only 100% Poly stay

For the adults only, we would leave right after graduation,like the 15th or 16th while the kids were still in school. For the cruise, we would do the later cruise (in the 20s of May some time).

Angela is my TA!!! Isn't she great You and your DH will love a little time away to celebrate

PLEASE post pics of your binder when you are done. I just love binders
