We're Home... time to work on the TR. Surprise! A Birthday Trip January 2012- PTR
- Thread starter MylilTink
- Start date
45 days left for us!
made final payment yesterday
I am still keeping the secret..but it's very hard
We are also doing deluxe so we can do lots of character meals with the grandkids and we have several signature meals.
Congrats on keeping the secret; it's getting more difficult the closer we get. Hubs almost let it slip earlier this!
Earlier this week we bought our Photopass thingy ($99.95 for the CD). And, what I'm probably most excited about, tickets to the Wishes Dessert Party, which will be on DD's actual birthday!!
When I had made the trip reservation, I wasn't able to find any reservations for the Wishes Dessert Party and thought they didn't offer this in the winter, but a random reading in the dining threads and I found out the dessert party exsists!
Also, I came up with the idea of getting DD her own lanyard and some special birthday pins to surprise her with. So, I've been on eBay on the hunt for unique pins.

I was browsing through the cake thread on the DIS (hubs wants to get a cake for DD, even though we're going to the Dessert Party...
) and I learned about the Princess Package that we can add on to our CRT meal! I sent an email to the department inquiring about some details, but here's info on the package (taken from the thread):
Is it sad that I'm getting really excited about adding this to our day?
We're down to 3 weeks and 5 days...

So, we cancelled our Crystal Palace reservation on 1/8/12 because we're doing the Dessert Party on the night of our arrival!
Since we're going to do the Princess Package at Cinderella's Royal Table, I felt the dessert party afterwards would be too much.
I can't believe we're only 3.5 weeks away! It's starting to sink in that we're going to Disney World - AND DD doesn't know. I'm sure I'll be in 'urgent mode' once Christmas passes.

Hi there! I just jumped over from my PTR to yours. We'll both be in AKL, but we'll be moving on the 9th AND we'll both be in MK on the 8th and that Thursday!
Maybe we'll spot each other!
I'm hoping Sunday at MK won't be too crowded; a lot of the rides that we didn't get to last time will be closing on Monday and I want to make sure we get to ride them... cause who knows when we'll be back to Disney (I'm ready for cruising again).
Could my last day of work until 1/16/2012 be anymore stressful?! And, it's not even work related stress!!
Back story: earlier in December our neighbors teen son decided to take a frying pan and hit a few cars - mine was one of them. So, the police were called and reports were filed. I got an estimate of the damages ($1300), paid my deductible and had the car repaired. Since the day of the incident, I've been calling juvenile services about the scheduled hearing that was written on the ticket (01/09/12) because I won't be in the state for the hearing and I've been requesting to have it rescheduled. Each and every single time I've called, I've been told to call back later as the dockets haven't been received and the hearing hasn't been scheduled.
Until yesterday.
And, of course, the hearing IS scheduled for Monday the 9th at 9am. I learn of this on Thursday. I ask to reschedule and I am transferred to the person assigned to the case. The person that was assigned to the case wasn't at their desk so I left a voice mail with my available hours and two phone numbers I can be reached at (work and cell). I don't receive a call back. I called again today and, of course, the case worker isn't available and I leave another voice mail. Now, it's after hours and I am only able to leave, yet, another voice mail.
I am going to be fuming if the hearing doesn't get rescheduled. I've documented all the calls I made as well as the voice mails I've left.
On another issue: my daughters pediatrician, whom we've been going to since my daughter was 6 days old, has a new office manager. And, she's refusing to allow our daughter to be seen over a billing dispute from 2007. This was learned of today after my husband called the office and scheduled an appointment for today because our daughter has been sick all week (pink eye in both eyes and an ear infection {we took her to urgent care for treatment} and now she has a fever and a wet cough). I'm fuming with rage. Apparently, the previous office manager didn't write notes of when I called and disputed the charges (the old office manager didn't submit the claims to the insurance company until it was too late and they're trying to make us pay the amount - the office manager only wrote that I didn't provide the insurance cards until it was too late, which is total BS. I used to work in a doctors office and I know how claims are submitted - I provided all cards at each appointment). So, now we have to find a new pediatrician.
Okay... I think I'm done with my rant.

Soo excited for you! Have a wonderful trip!!
We made it home safely and now we're catching up on the laundry and re-stocking the fridge and adjusting to 'normal life'.
We took over 2500 photos and had about 275 Photopass pictures!
I can't wait to start writing the trip report (and I plan on completing this one) and going through the pictures.
