Hi Nikki:

I am getting caught up on all my DIS reading. I love your recap. Isn't fun to relive your old trips right before a new one!

Are you still doing the wishes cruise on the 3rd? We are doing the Pirates and Pals voyage that night. Maybe we could meet up beforehand for a Dis meet.

YES! Does your cruise leave from the Contemporary? That is where we have to meet our captain at 8:00 for an 8:30 departure. 2 other DIS families are joining us on the cruise. We have dinner at T-Rex at 4. (I made it super early because I was so scared I would be late for the cruise!) Then depending on how much time we have, we might shop/drink at DTD for a little before heading over. But maybe we can meet up to say hello! Maybe like 7:45? I'll let the others on my boat know in case they want to say hello too!

FUN! So soon!!

Just read the last few pages (need some more time to get totally caught up), and I love that you're getting a tie-dyed shirt for the 4th of July! I, of course, made some red, white, and blue tie-dyed shirts for the 4th last year (but without Mickey heads) that I believe only I ended up wearing to our town's fireworks. I have made lots of rainbow colored and single colored Mickey head shirts though that I've worn on past trips.

And your trip is so soon!

Thanks! I am super excited for my tie dyed shirts to come! Soooo soon!

Hey guys!!!

Look at my ticker!!

Exactly 3 weeks from this moment, I will be at POR, getting ready (and getting hungry) for dinner at the Rose and Crown!! Followed by (or perhaps accompanied by) Illuminations!! My all time favorite show and music in Disney World!!! AHHHHHHHhhhH! It's so soon!!!

I just had a full day of parents in the class to hear the kids read their original stories...we called it an "Authors' Tea." We had drinks and snacks afterward. It was great! I'm so proud of the kids and the parents were very happy!

Now that that's over, I can start taking things down and packing up my classroom for the summer!! 9 days of school left! 21 days until WDW!

I'm not at all jealous.. WOW!! 3 weeks!
yesterday our countdown was ... 26 weeks - and it was exactly 6 months since Verity and I went to WDW .. a halfway mark!

Hope you're having a good week.. not long left of school now for you!

for 3 weeks and wrapping up in school, DBF is not happy with how much marking he has left to do!

love the clings for decorating the window, with the tie dye shirts you'll really be in the 4th of july spirit!

thanks for another great idea, definitely going to look out for the lighted pavement in epcot!

 

[cdotla]

Just noticed your PTR...can't wait to get caught up!

And I just watched your honeymoon video...LOVE IT!!! How did I miss that from your last TR??

BTW - where did you get that sling bag you are wearing in some of the final shots on the video - like the one where you are wearing the black strapless dress? I love that bag!

Can't wait to see your Single Riders Video!!! You are going to beat the pants off those CMS...I just know it!

I just watched that Debbie Downer video. OMG...I just about choked up a lung laughing!!! No wonder the cast had such trouble keeping straight faces!!!

I actually just sent the link to my husband...we had a good chuckle over it as we both agreed he was the Debbie Downer on our trip. I don't like lines. I don't want to get my picture taken. I don't want to watch the fireworks Fortunately he quite likes SNL so we both had a good laugh about it!

I totally get the "halfway" milestone! I can't believe it's been that long since your trip with Verity!

Oh I'll definitely be in the spirit. When I bought things from Target, Tom just kind of said, "Oh that's nice." It wasn't until later that day I found out, he thought I wanted to decorate our apartment with them! NO! The hotel room, honey! Then he got excited and when he came home from Walgreens later that night, he had a necklace on with little American flags all over it that lights up! He added it to the pile! He's totally in the spirit too!

Yay!! Thanks for reading! The orange sling bag? Tom got that just days before our very first trip together in 2006 from Old Navy. I think it cost him $3 and it's been the best!! We use it on every trip. It weighs nothing and it's so easy to store all our junk!

I actually bought a Vera Bradley hipster which I am very excited to use on the upcoming trip but I have a feeling that 2 days into the trip, I'll be back to using that sling!

 

[adisneymama]

So close!! Well, let's see...we have a 2:30 ADR in France so it's possible that we'll be on our way out of DHS at that time! Maybe if we time it just right, we can meet up with you guys to say hello as we are leaving! (Just remind me, because I will forget!)

No advice at all! I did my first one just last summer for our honeymoon trip and I just rambled on! Oh, I do have one piece of advice....include LOTS of pictures! Food pics too! Sounds like you've got it all covered! Your plan for the 4th sounds good. I LOVE CP breakfast. I've never eaten there for dinner but you may decide you want to keep your ADR. I'm sure it'll be nice to get away from the heat and crowds for a bit!

 

[seadd67]

Thanks, we have eaten dinnier at CP before Its as good as Breakfast. I forgot about the heat,ya that might be a good exuse to go there twice

How could you forget the heat!!!

 

[BippityBoo]

WOW!! You are so close to your vacation Can't wait to hear all about it and see pics of POR!!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

WOW!! You are so close to your vacation Can't wait to hear all about it and see pics of POR!!

Soooo close!! Yes I will take lots of pics of POR. Last time we stayed there, I only took a few. I'm nervous about our room location. We stayed there on our first trip toegether (I've stayed there a bunch of times with my fam) and we were put in the worst location! The building was in a wacky spot and on top of that, our room itself...it seemed like we had to walk all the way around the building to get to it, no matter if we went to the right or left! And the walk back from the bus at night...it was like a maze in those woodsy trails! Just a bad location. This time I requested like 5 or 6 buildings with the hopes that I'll get at least one of them!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Hey guys! Cassi just sent me a picture of my tie dyed shirts and they are soooo awesome!!! I am soooo excited to wear that red, white and blue one on the 4th!!
