I don't have time to watch the trailer either (since I'm at work and supposed to be working...), but I did see an ad for the new movie.
Another Slacker...
I don't understand the whole vinylmation thing either, so I can't very well explain it.
Oh well. thankfully my children are NOT into these weird things!
I love that picture of your family. They are just the cutest kids! (and parents too).
Thank you TONS!!
I tried to talk my dh into driving down this year, and at first he was good with the idea. Neither one of us has been to South of the Border in years.
But when it came time to actually book our package, he decided he would rather spend that time in parks than on the road, so we are flying. But, its only the 2 of us - no munchkins to take along.
This is true as well.. I am going to be a maniac trying to get down there.. The way home is going to be HORRIBLE!!!

Then again have you ever noticed how the way there always takes FOREVER yet the way home is always faster?? the anticipation is a killer.. Flying will take 2-2 1/2 hours. Driving will take up to 18+ hours..
I remember the days when one kid was playing on a different field in a different town than the other one. Luckily I only had 2 at a time to worry about.
DISLIKE this very much.. A lot of my friends have girls. where they can sit in the middle and watch both games.. Me? Nope. 2 different fields. about a mile apart. so i have to do half games each. unless i pull Meg. I will be GLAD when this is over. Football starts in August, ALL on one field!!!
The Headless Horseman is awesome! We go to this every year (yes, every year) but the first year was the best. in 2008 the horse they used was full of steam and just blew past - very realistic. 2009-12 it was a much more sedate trot: not as impressive, but much better for pictures.
Yes the BIG black monster flying threw the streets would be awesome to see.. YET as you know I NEED PICTURES!!! LOTS AND LOTS of them. I am
really excited to see it!!!
I have never stayed off property and DH would probably go an a murderous rampage if I suggested it. I can't imagine trying to get just the two of us adults from off-site to the parks in a timely manner, much less kid-wrangle.
And (if next year's 10th anniversarypalooza works out) we're aiming for at least a couple of days at the Poly as well in Oct 2014.
HOORAY for the poly!!! LOVE the Poly I am SO glad we stayed there for our first visit. I am sure this is another reason we all fell in love with Disney!
No Sept??
Good luck with that ton of crap.
and BTW now that you found me I think I'll stalk your PTR....
Go Nuts.
So your free time is spent on the baseball field. Yikes! I can't even folliw your schedule on paper. I would never be able to keep up in real life. Cute picture of the family at WDW.
you say you can't, but you just DO. there are days i can't believe i can get as much done as i can. I live by a calendar.
Love the idea of the going to Disney tshirts! Sounds like driving is the way to go. I would much rather spend that money on the trip. I do enjoy the fact that we live close enough to drive now. Makes planning and budgeting much easier, no stressing about flights.
Im jealous! Like you see my life is just CRAZY anyhow so throw in a Disney vacation with even crazier plans. well it's right up my alley!!! I got this!
Yes so i have the tee shirts. Someone suggested the mailbox from Mickey. i really like that idea, If we are driving i would like to make some sort of Video? Once we get closer to Disney i can make them watch it? I don't know I don't KNOW!!! I have a while to think about it.
Oh my gosh I finally got through the 35278090 posts I missed while I was in dead world.

I'm back!!! Hopefully to stay. Still feeling like bleh, but I have meds in me now, so hopefully it won't take long. I NEED SLEEP!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back i am have missed you!!!!
Love ya......... Mean it.
Get better i need you.
Yep, it is Wicked Smaaat. And someone mentioned that it was just like a Boston accent.....um, no. We have lots of the same made up words, but they sound nothing alike. And I am not a Downeaster....maybe the Ay-uh, but I don't really say that in real life.
I just have to come up there and see for myself...
Oh gosh those Little Dingy's were yummy!
I can go for one now....
That was so much fun! I love coasters anyway, but it was really something to be INSIDE and get to see the whole amusement park!
YES!

it was awesome still wish i could have taken pictures...
Yep....lucky Suzi
HA HA HA HA HA... it was your idea to go on there so you had to have the prize front row seating...
Okay, in hindsight....not such a great idea. Her neighbors probably think we're a little weird. But oh well, we were comfy. A little chilly in capris, but comfy.

Yes we were! A and V even put their jammies on too.. It did get a bit chilly!

That sounds wonderful Mo...
Hey, Driving and liquor stores go hand in hand..... Right???

Maybe that is just me... HA HA
You forgot about the weird Robot City thing. Some sort of oil refinery??? It looked really cool. But I guess you must see things like that in Chicago? Not here in Maine. I thought it was neat.
Yes we have tons of them it was a refinery. Luke oil is HUGE.
That is a google map of the refinery by me...

That was seriously one of the highlights of the trip...Loved seeing D's domain.
yes... Yes it was...
Hey, what did I do???
Trying to hide some of the precious D~ stuff from me....
I know...at first I couldn't figure out where she got those pictures. Then I realized they were the grubby old posts. Crazy good shots Mo!
Thank you...
And yes, I loved that Minnie dress. I just didn't feel like trying it on. And to be honest...it would've been very uncomfortable in the August heat!
Ya think??? I thought it was WAY cute. after the amount of food we ate nothing fit correctly anyway!
The log flume was a great time. I felt like a teenager just giggling and laughing til we cried! Fun fun fun!
EXACTLY!!!!
And that shot isn't half bad D. You weren't even really aiming, I think it came out fine.
agreed.

I was thinking "what the heck is all over D's wall??? I don't remember that being there!"
I really need that Lens cleaned professionally...
Well, since I am so far behind, you probably already made this decision, but I can tell you this:
When Dani and I went last July, I booked midweek to midweek. Not only are the flights cheaper (but I think you are driving??), but it was soooo great getting there midweek. Most people do Sat-Sat. Most people hit the ground running. So most people are going to take a midweek break. This opens up the parks for you to hit the ground running on Wednesday when the masses are taking a sleep in day or DTD day. It was great last July.
how are the weekends there??? If the flights are reasonable i would RATHER fly. Yet if the cost is still cheaper to drive that is what we will be doing..
Totally agree. Even if I had to stay at an All-Star, I would do it to be on property!
Yep! here too!!!! a cardboard box will be ok too..
Right there with ya. Mine is from sickness, not from business. Just haven't had the energy. I got sick right after our trip to MOA, so this mess is from 3 weeks ago and still building! Hoping to have more energy soon.
I really wish you would get better!!! I really miss you around here!!!
Phew....I think I'm all caught up again. Now it's time for bed. Antibiotics....do your thing!
Good now that you are caught up lets talk MORE!
********************************************************
So now that i know i can book in August.. I told Tom. with school being out i am saving about 200 a month, I do have to pay babysitters. Can't wait for this to be over either.
That money is going straight to the savings. any change? I am making a jar decorating it DISNEY FUND. Kids can help with this. without them knowing WHEN we will be going back.
Spoke to the family who wants to go with us last night and told her the same. Book in August. She was going to talk to her Hubby. I don't know if they are going to tell their kids or not. we will have to do a girls planning night!! YAY!
I am also going to suggest:
Family Newbie going to Disney SHOULD do a lot of stuff by themselves. they need to get the full feel of Disney. we can meet up at certain times. do our ADRs or whatever. I don't know how they feel about resorts. They really don't know anything about Disney and i am GLAD to be the one to show them.. I do LOVE their kids. Our family and their family get along very well. we will need a do your own thing days too.
OK So D~ auction started
Here I want SCRUMP!!!!!
someone is going to outbid me i am sure. So now i wait until the last moment and i STRIKE!!!
ok going to do a ton of editing on pictures now!
Everyone have great day!!
