**Winkers goes to England~It's so hard to say goodbye**

[winkers]

Ok I am here. I did read your other but I was a lurker. I know.

the ADR's look great.
I love CP early morning.
50's loved it.
Pirate party is coming up soon in my report. Probably by Sunday or Monday.
Akershus, at least your going for breakfast.
Tutto went to on my last night. sorry can't reveal it.

Plans look really good. And that is great about them changing your flight to a better one.

Hi Scott! I'm glad my shameless "hint" worked!
I can't wait to see what you thought about the p&p party and Tutto.

Yay!
Disney is just great!

I know!! I've been in a great mood since they called me!

I'm so glad it worked out for you guys. I am like you and I HATE calling places and having to complain. I hate calling people period.

I don't like calling people either! I even put off calling my closest friends.

the England part through me off and actually kept me away a little. Maybe because I am not going this year and I wanted to.
Oh well, that is my trip for next year along with Disney. for a Grand Gathering.

When are you planning to go next year? I'm hopeing for late April early May. What kept you from going this year?

You mean I'm not the only one?

I think it's because I'm always afraid I'll be bothering someone.

Nope. My dad is the same way too. In his case he's just weird......I'm quirky!

I bet that's a relief!!

Thanks!! And Yes, it is a huge relief! Now I can focus my obsessivness on something else!

Charleston Princess, Did you just say chicken?!!!

Awwww, Carrieannie, you posted my chicken! It's always a pleasure to see him! Keeps the memory fresh and all .

Thanks!! And Yes, it is a huge relief! Now I can focus my obsessivness on something else!

And we all wait in anticipation to see what the new obsession is... . Because I like reading about other people's obsessions to take my mind off of mine .

That's great about the flights Cherie

Scott are you coming to England too????

 

[scottny]

I think May 2009.
We were supposed to go this year but Biff's friend who lives over in London is actually here for the last year for work. He finally requested to go back there to be with his partner but that won't happen till June or July. It is still up in the air when he is going so we said we will go next year when we know he will be there.
5 days there, 5 days in Paris.

That's great about the flights Cherie

Scott are you coming to England too????

Biff and I are in 2009. Looks like May but not definite when we will but definite we are going.

 

[winkers]

That's funny that we're planning to go around the same time!

 

[scottny]

maybe we will see you.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Ok, I got all mixed up and behind somewhere along the line so I had to go back and skim through and YEP, I missed some things.....DUH! I just saw your itenerary and we might be in AK too on the Saturday and possibly Epcot on the Monday. I'm still going over it but we may cross paths.

me.........passed out flat next to the diapers.


I nearly crapped my pants!
Am I a total nut or what?

I don't blame you. I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like I wish some members of my family were there to enjoy it with us but then again I know it would not be enjoyable so I forget it real fast.

Bring out the pixie dust!!!

I got a call this morning from WDW travel's air department. They had noticed the "ugly" (cm's word) changes Frontier had made to my tickets and wanted to get me something better!

I didn't even have to call and whine about it! Now I can whine about something else!

She was able to get a refund from Frontier and book me with United and it's $30 bucks cheaper per person!
We'll arive in Orlando @ 4:30 p.m and depart @ 5:45 p.m.!!! I'm so excited!

I feel like I just won the lottery.

This is AWESOME!! Congrats

I'm excited because..........a) I got great flights and saved money and I didn't have to do a thing! b) I payed of our vacation today!

Here's the but..............I started off with the ddp, then I took it off thinking we weren't saving all that much. Now I'm thinking maybe I should add it back on because I like knowing everything is payed for before we go. OY!

Even though it doesn't look like a super deal anymore, I am keeping it to save myself the headache of budgeting while on vacation. I'm still saving money, just not as much now that they changed it.

In a cold medicine stupor, I went vacation shopping yesterday. Made me feel better for awhile.
I can't take pics until monday when the kids are at school.

I hope you found some good stuff. I have another bag tip. I bought a reebok bag from Target. It was celery green (as close to lime as I could find). I got someone on the disboard design page to make me a stick family design with all our names and it said Thibodeaux Family Disney Vacation 2008. I was going to iron the design on a t-shirt but it printed out too small and I didn't know how to resize it so I was going to throw the print out away. When I showed it to my friend she suggested I iron it on my bag. It was the perfect size to fit on the bag so I tried. I wasnt sure what would happen when I ironed on that kind of fabric but it turned out perfect. I can't tell you how many people commented on my bag. They wanted to touch it and they wanted to know where I got it. Sometimes a man would come up to me because some wives were making them come ask me about my bag. I will post a picture of both bags as soon as I can get dh to download the pics from the camera to the computer because I don't know how to do it. I might ask Courtney to do it for me.

I also need to add that my friend had bought the same bag as me but hers was black. After she saw how good my bag came out she made an iron on for her bag too. I used the ink jet iron on paper for dark fabric and she used the one for light fabric. Hers peeled off and mine stayed perfect.

right now it's for 8:40 and it's for 4 people, so i'm gonna have to change it anyway. i made it back when it was gonna be me, my friend anna and her husband and son. either it'll be an ADR for 1 (me by myself), an ADR for 2 (you and me) or an ADR for 7 (you, me and your family). i don't think getting an ADR at kona cafe for breakfast is very hard, especially during that time of year.

yes, i'm quoting myself. did you see this? i just wanted to make sure. i thought in the excitement over your new flight news you might've missed it.

i wanna see!!!!!! isn't it funny how even the littlest things like band-aids and packages of gum are so exciting to look at when you know they're going to disney world???

Yep, I did miss that! You know me too well!
As soon as my cold clears and I can think strait, I'll see if I can fit it into my plans!

Let us know when you're coming

So what did you buy?????

colds will do that to ya! have you tried those zicam nighttime medicine spoons? it's like a gel and you just stir it into some hot water. it will make you LOOPY and knock you out within 30 minutes.....good stuff!

and really, no pressure AT ALL. if you can't fit it in, it's no big deal. i'm still gonna go and i really don't mind going by myself. it will be nice to get away from ray for half an hour (while he sleeps in) and just read a paper and have breakfast in a nice resort like the polynesian! but of course i'd love your company too!
