Why don't we make this trip report about 2012 & 2013.

[cogero]

I read everything I could about Spirit and it is definately no frills and there is a charge for Carryons that go in the overhead but we only bring what will fit under the seat so we are good with that and they do charge for bags but most airlines do now.

I am thinking of picking our seats and paying for them because that makes me nervous.

Off to finish an order today.

My smiley was poking fun at the fact that you aren't on FB

I am old, what can I say...

Chiara, I LOVE your Monster's Inc outfit, one of our FAVES (Christian has a Mike W antennae ball on his car right now)! But that IASW Set is my FAVORITE forever...or at least until you mkae your next design, I LOVE it!!

Praying you feel well!

I am the same way... I guess- now that the girls are older and we've flown several times, I would be OK with them sitting away from me - however... it's no fun if I don't have anyone to chat with... But if I were you, with your kids so young - I would definately pay for seats so that you are all together.

Well J and I have to be together but C usually sits across or a row a head. C is a great traveler so I don't worry about her.

She generally sits with her DS or Itouch on the whole time. I am going to pay for G to be next to me too because it is hard with J and J must have a window seat.

So worth paying the extra cost to get the seat so you don't have to worry about it. It is not worth the stress. As long as the plane gets me to DW I am good.

This is more of a life update rather than anything to do with my trip.

It has been a crazy 10 days.

Last Wednesday the 14th I went for my monthly OB appointment and it was rather stressful. the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler so I was sent over to the imaging center for an Ultrasound and all thankfully is well but it was a super stressful hour.

On Tuesday night we received a phone call from my BIL saying MIL was having a stroke and they were taking her to the hospital. Well unfortunately it is not a stroke but Cancer, we don't know what stage or even what type because it looks like she has masses on her lungs and brain. She is supposed to get a biopsy today or tomorrow.

I have one BIL who is great but he has MS, he did take off from work to spend time with her. My other BIL is an *** and has her dead and buried.

Me I am just annoyed because I don't feel like they are being pushy enough with the hospital demanding answers. DH has forbid me to help because of being pg and I get stressed when things don't go the way I want them to or in the manner I want them too. I am not good at hurry up and wait.

Oh and if this isn't enough Wednesday started a school bus strike and affected both kids busses. So I have to take them to 2 different schools and pick them up. Oh and they are on opposite sides of Queens.

So I wrote a not to Cs school saying that until this strike is over she will have to leave early because otherwise I can't get to Js school to pick him up.

I also have 2 orders that must go out but have no energy but I am going to try tonight to finish at least 1 of them.

OMG!!! I am so relieved that everything turned out to be OK. I have continued prayers for both you and the baby. How many weeks along are you?

This is so horrible. I am so sorry about your MIL - Sending up prayers for all of you. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you to stand aside and watch others tkae on the duties that you know you could do better on her behalf. I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. But, OTOH, I totally understand your DH's position, and doing what is best for the baby is the best for all of you right now. Please know that if you need anything - even if it's just someone to listen, I am here for you.

I cannot believe how much you have on your plate. I hope that Miss C's school is understanding about this situation and being lenient about the early release. I don't know how you manage to do it all?

I also have 2 orders that must go out but have no energy but I am going to try tonight to finish at least 1 of them.

I hope your customers are understanding about everything that is going on in your life.

Many (((Hugs))) and many prayers headed your way.

okay how about a little trip update since I am at work alone and have a few minutes.

I waitlisted a 2BR for Boardwalk for our first night. I do have a 1BR boardwalk view for our first night but if I get a 2BR Garden view I probably won't have to move the next day. If I do have to move at least it will all be in the same resort so not a big deal.

I was just looking at our reservations which are as follows:

3/25 Akerhaus Dinner
3/26 Tutto Italia Dinner
3/27 Les Chefs de France Dinner
3/28 Be Our Guest Dinner (So excited about this one)
3/29 Yachtsman Dinner

I am thinking I may want to add in a Breakfast somewhere. I need to talk to G and print out the hours from EasyWDW so I can decide.

I think I may want to go to Crystal Palace but we shall see.

I also reserved our stroller today since I had money in Paypal. I had to use my ATM bank card and then transfer money but I love knowing things are paid for.

 

[blessedmom4]

Praying for your Chiara, I wanted you to know.

Yea for plans moving forward and getting things paid for!

 

[wiigirl]

Love you dresses...SO adorable!

Really need to finish up my photopass pictures today or tomorrow and get them ordered.

I also need to finish and pack up 2 orders for mailing Tuesday. I am also part of a new launch group and want to start and finish that outfit by tomorrow afternoon.

Lets hope J cooperates today.

I just thought I would share with you...the FP+ is getting a lot of attention with the TA web sites. A lot of questions are being asked concerning the people that have either DVC memberships or AP. Or both.

Disney is promising they have not been forgotten...but the whole thing should be rolled out by June-ish...they were not real clear as to if that includes DVC and AP...or not.

Several TAs had comments similar to fix what we already have before you add more to the mix... (such as right now your TA can't easily make an ADR for you... without being on hold for 2 to 3 hours... and then we have a limit to how many ADRs you can make before they put you back in the queue....)

I know this does not help you one tiny bit with your next trip...but I thought I would share any way...

I am not really worried about the FPP system. I at times seriously find Rope Drop and early touring way more effective and for big rides G and C go single rider a lot of times.

I am with the fix the problems with what is in place first. I know when we were there in December we had a problem with the RFID when paying for dinner in France

 

[cogero]

I have been busy catching up and working on orders. These are things I finished recently

I Dig U Set for my god son's birthday

Donald set

ARiel Dress

I am also cleaning my sewing room little by little since I need to make room for Cs new bedroom.

 

[NiniMorris]

I LOVE the look of Donald...but I HATE to stitch it out...it gave me so many problems. We used that design for our Hollywood Studios night in December...of course it was for the Osbourn lights.

Nini

 

[babynala]

Love the construction set. You do such great boy things. I want that Ariel dress, it looks so comfy. Donald is so cute and knowing where you probably got that design, based on Nini's comment, I'm sure it was a pain to stitch out so I will pass this along to both of you:

Thank you both. I love that Donald but it takes so long to do and I get tired of holding the shirt LOL.

I am off to the post office today to mail some things out and I need to take a picture of a launch set I did. I joined a new launch group and tried something different so I am excited about it.

 

[DMGeurts]

I just LOVE everything... I wish I could find a knit dress like that (ahem - in MY size) to wear at Disney this summer...

D~

 

[Restrasz]

I love everything you make! I am a very simple crafter.

Congratulations on the new baby! I'm so glad everything is going ok.
We will be in Disney the 1st of March and are excited to eat at BOG. Well have to compare experiences. Have a great day!
