Great news about Spectro!

I love the idea of Aldine taking her doll and making her own scrapbook. That will be such a special memory for her! You'll have to ask her if you can post a couple of pics...I'd love to see the finished product!

Only 2 more days!!

My DD is asking to bring her Briar Rose doll - she sleeps with her, so I'm hoping she will only stay in the hotel room.

I do like your DD's idea of making her own scrapbook with her doll - it's very creative!

 

[mousescrapper]

Whoo-hoo!!

Yes, it always pays to check for those last-minute schedule updates that Disney is so famous for!!

...and I think the 6 inch AG doll is perfect! There were many times that Mommy wound up holding her "granddaughter" because Tricia was tired of carrying her around...

That's great news Julie! I'm anxious to see if the entertainment schedule changes for our week.

I know I can't believe it about Spectro...many thanks to IndianaJ I wouldn't have known till we got down there and then I would have been excited but need to adjust the Tour Plans....but I am very proud of myself...the maps are done and packed and I haven't pulled them back out to ponder what changes we could make. I think (dare I say it) ...wing it

thinking try and stay at MK an extra hour on Friday to squeeze in 2 things from the Monday list and maybe drop 1 or 2 others to accomadate finding a parking spot while we wait for Spectro to begin.

Yes the doll is a very nice Mommy gesture. and I think she is very excited. She has an AG scrapbook and comments she doesn't really take her dolls many places so how can she scrap about them...well now here's her chance. And she's going to take Josefina. She has an 18" Josefina too and that is who she'd want to take.

Kathy...bonus w/ the 6" no need for anything extra just the doll and a protective "rain poncho" (zip-loc bag)

FIRST THANKS FOR THE EARLY MORNING WAKE-UP DANCE AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WELL IT IS HERE THE LAST DAY BEFORE WE LEAVE....I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT....well I guess I can

SO FOR A RECAP OF THE LAST COUPLE DAYS:

IN CELEBRATION OF OUR DAY 3) TILL WE LEAVE, I PULLED OUT THE 2005 DISNEY WORLD VACATION SCRAP ALBUM AND MAE AND I ENJOYED LOOKING THRU IT TOGETHER





SHE LIKED HOW HER "BLANKIE" WAS IN A PICTURE...I SAID YES IT SURE LOOKED A LOT NICER THAN. AND SHE SAYS SHE REMEBERS THAT THE TTA (OR AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT "THE WE-WAY PEOPLE MOVER" WAS HER FAVORITE RIDE AND STILL IS.





YESTERDAY DAY 2) I WAS ABLE TO CHECK SEVERAL THINGS OFF MY TO-DO LIST...BUT OF COURSE ADDED LIKE THE SAME AMOUNT ON AS I CROSSED OFF DOESN'T THAT ALWAYS HAPPEN

LAST NIGHT I ALSO READ A COUPLE DISNEY STORIES W/ MAE AS THE TWINS FINSIHED UP HOMEWORK. AND A FUNNY STORY, IN THE CAR MAE ASKED ME WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING WE ARE GOING TO DO WHEN WE GET THERE ?

I REPLIED WELL GO TO OUR HOTEL

SHE THEN ASKS WELL WHAT WILL WE DO THERE ?

I REPLIED WLK AROUND, THERE IS A PLAYGROUND AND A POOL WE MAY GO SWIMMING.

SHE THEN ASKS WHAT ABOUT ARE ROOM ?

I REPLIED OH YES WHEN THE ROOM IS READY WE'LL GO THERE TOO....

FINALLY SHE ASKS WHAT ABOUT EATING ?

I REPLIED WE'LL EAT LUNCH WHEN WE GET THERE TOO AT A RESTURANT CALLED THE PEPPER MART

MAE BECOMES REAL QUIET AND THEN ASKS CAN WE BRING SOME FOOD FROM HOME ?

I ASK WHY ? THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF FOOD THERE.

MAE SAYS BUT I DON'T LIKE PEPPERS

Do you have your group A boarding passes in hand? I just checked in my MIL for her flight tomorrow and I thought of you as the passes were printing!

I guess we were posting at the same time... I'll tune in later for a final update before you are off to the world!!!!!!!!!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

I am SO excited for you!! You leave tomorrow!

I know what you mean about the list. Mine always seems to get longer as I get closer to a trip...how does that work?

So cute about Mae not liking peppers...that sounds like something my Jonah would say! LOL!

I can't wait to hear about your trip and see pictures of your beautiful family enjoying WDW. It will give me something to do while I pass the last few days till my trip!

 

[MRYPPNS]

Julie in case I miss you before you leave......have a safe and wonderful vacation! I'll be thinking of you this coming week.

 

[IndianaJ]

Can't wait to see you there! WooHoo!!!

I almost forgot about our boarding passes this morning at 6:45. I remembered at 6:55, and we got B1-4. I hope we can sit two and two.

I'm packed and ready to go. The dog is off to Grandma's house, the fish has found a new home for a week, and the girls are off to school.

I hope I remembered everything. I feel like I packed the WHOLE house.

How many carry on's do you have? I have my bag, a small cross body for Brandy, and a backpack for the girls. Surely that will be ok. We are taking two umbrella MaClarens for the girls. My seven year old is a HUGE walking wimp, and I figured with the crowds and heat, I shouldn't push her.

All right, I should stop obsessing and relax. Less than one more day.

 

[AmyMama2AvaNtheo]

Have a GREAT trip!!!!! I will be tuned in for the TR when you get back!

The little girls have a shared backpack (the pink one I posted about), Michael & Aldine each have one, I have my backsack, DH has his laptop bag, we have one med duffle w/ shorts, swimsuits, med's, etc and then I'm walking in w/ a paper bag w/ muffins and napkins and then a tiny cooler bag, w/ a toddler meal, vegan cheese and a cup of soymilk for Margaret going home we'll check the duffle and I have a large tote folded in one of our suitcases for souvenir overflow on the way home. and our large stroller for Margeret which we like never use anymore, but when I took it out of the closet yesterday, she was so excited "that's mine!"


All right, I should stop obsessing and relax. Less than one more day.
