We're flying from Never Land to see Mickey! A June 2011 PTR Update 6/3 Leaving Today!

[ZFamily5]

You've been busy!!! I don't remember too much pain with the braces. It was the wires in the back that would always tear up my cheek. I used lots of wax. Yuck. Sophie is hoping so hard for braces! I always wanted them as a kid too. I didn't really mind them too much!

Your plans look great! I need to sit and make some concrete plans of what I want to accomplish each day. I've never seen the Figment attraction. We are both getting SO CLOSE!!!

Despite what everyone told me, the braces don't hurt anymore this morning than they did last night, which is a very small amount of pain. Sophie WANTS braces?!?!? Somehow I can't believe anyone would actually WANT braces, but if she does, then lucky you, less complaining if she needs them!

Thanks! It's been a lot of flip-flopping and ADR-making, but I think our plans are looking good too! I don't want to make too many concrete plans (what rides in what order) because we would NEVER be able to do that, but I wanted to have a rough idea. And we are both getting SUPER close!!

I remember when I got my braces! They didn't hurt way too bad (well except when I tried to eat!) I had them for a year and a half I got them off 6 months early since I'm home schooled and I could wear my head gear 24/7 hopefully you don't get that!

But congrats on the free dining and date changes hopefully everything works out

Mine haven't hurt too bad, which is good and I don't think I have to get head gear, another plus! Thanks! I think everything is working out pretty well right now...and if you're still interested, I think our DIS meet will still work out!

Here are some of our plans for Day 3 (June 5th):

We will have to wake up EARLY to get to our 8:15 AM ressie here:

Like I've said before, we are keeping this a surprise for Thing2 and Thing3, so I'm sure they will be over the moon! They think we are eating at Crystal Palace like we usually do our first Magic Kingdom day. Mom and I decided we are going to order a set of those customizable maps through Disney and put the Cinderella's Royal Table as one of our "Favorites" and when we get there, give them the map to see if they can figure out where we are eating! I can't wait to see their reactions! After breakfast we will probably get fast passes for:

And then head to Fantasyland to ride some of our favorites such as:

and

Does anyone know if Dumbo will be open this summer or if they will have it "backstage" to get ready for its new location? I would think they would want all the attractions open for peak season over the summer, but you never know...After Fantasyland...I don't really know...We'll probably just ride whatever doesn't have a long wait time or just hit our favorites right away. Sometime in the afternoon we will get lunch. We plan on splitting CS meals to save credits so we have some for breakfast (for example, 3 CS meals are enough for our family at lunch and Thing2 and Thing3 are the only big breakfast eaters, so it will work out nicely) and we'll probably get lunch from:

or here:

I'd personally prefer Columbia Harbor House because of their meatless options, but I've made it work before and I can do it again so we'll see. Hopefully my afternoon will involve getting another:

And watching:

Dinner will probably be another CS split and a snack or two...one of our traditions is to get a chocolate chip cookie from the Main Street Bakery and eat it while we watch Wishes and SpectroMagic (is that what it's called?) so I know that will be in our future that night. That's really all I have planned for June 5th...my aunt, uncle and cousin will be arriving the next day, so that will be a little more exciting! Thanks for reading!

Sorry for the lack of posts...I won't try and make excuses....

One of our "Pre-Trip Traditions" is the Disney Jar. It's a huge glass jar we keep in one of the closets, but any extra money goes into there and goes towards our trip! Thing2, Thing3 and myself decided to start a "Disney Jr. Jar" as my parents dubbed it. We decided as a group that the money would go towards getting to go to BBB, a surprise for my parents (more to come in a minute) and the rest they wanted me to use to get them surprises (prolly a princess dress for Thing2 and a stuffed animal/gift card for Thing3...). So far we have saved up a little over $150, so we know we now have enough for BBB at least.

We recently decided that since as of now, our flight doesn't get in until after 11 PM, that we are going to make the 4th one of our "off days", since we will be so tired from the flight. This means that we are going to try and get BBB appointments that day. We decided to make an ADR for 1900 Park Fare for dinner. Here's where the surprise comes in!! On the Disney Florist website, Thing2 and I found this:

It's a tote bag filled with snacks/water. Thing2 and I decided it would be kind of fun to surprise Mom and Dad with that. We were thinking after dinner we could suggest we take the monorail to the Polynesian and watch Wishes from the beach. Once there we were planning on giving it to them...thoughts?

That's all for now! Thanks for reading!!

Just a random post about track...Today was the first day I was allowed to run at track since last Monday (because of my knee). I was super excited all day because I love to run and it was making me really upset not to be able to. Yesterday we picked our events for our first 2 meets, which are Monday and Tuesday!! Sorry for the random post, but I'm super excited!!

And 56 days 'til Disney!!

This afternoon we went to one of my favorite stores ever, the Disney Store!!

We went to the Disney Store intending to buy Thing2 a dress to wear to BBB and possibly CRT the next morning. We ended up with this really cute dress:

My Grandma Z was the one with us shopping, and she decided that we should each get a shirt to wear on the first day. Thing3 picked this shirt:

Thing2 chose this shirt:

And I chose this shirt:

Thing3 got to chose another treat, so she walked away with these guys:

Finally, I got a Mickey Journal to write notes in during the trip, but there wasn't a picture of it online...maybe I'll take my own picture and upload it...

That's all for now! Thanks for reading!!
