YES, We really are going to Disney AGAIN!!!!

[meg7]

We'll be staying at YC 11/12 - 11/18, maybe we will cross paths. My daughter's birthday is the day after your husband's!

I didn't realize until recently that it's Super Soap Weekend but I'm glad I did so we can avoid DS that weekend. How bad are the crowds? I'm also afraid that YC will be really crowded since it's close to the studios?

Seems like a popular time of year fro some. I'll be at SSR from 11/7 to 11/11 then onto OKW until 11/17. I also hope the crowds will be light. Just look for the big guy in the scooter taking tons of pictures......

 

[MrsHeg]

Nice start. I can't wait to read more.

Thanks

Normally we would arrive the last day of SSW and just avoid that area until it is cleared out, that's why I made the error in ADR's I didn't know they had changed the date.

I'll keep an eye out for ya, I'm a picture taker too. I even bought a new camera to play with. Too bad I'm a point and shoot kind of girl.

So, today I put a countdown on my calendar at work, only 18 days until we head out!!!!!


Looks like it's time for me to start getting those ducks in a row. Why is it no matter how many trips we take I have a shopping list each time?

 

[MrsHeg]

The countdown is down to 17 and I'm sitting here with the AC repairman outside looking at our unit.

Hopefully I'll still have some shopping money left when he is through.

 

[MrsHeg]

Countdown = 16, the AC man left without doing the repair yesterday. Our compressor is "frozen" and he is going to try putting a hard start on it, it works 75% of the time, if it doesn't then it will put a considerable hole in my disney budget.

If you've got any spare Pixie Dust I would appreciate it.

 

[MrsHeg]

I'm a big fan of matching t shirts, Grumpy, well that's another story. I can get away with them if they aren't too "cutesy" and Chernabog is one of his favorites so I came up with this design to wear to the parks on his birthday,

I've seen a few people put a small design on the sleeve also so I think I'll try and come up with a design for that also.

 

[MrsHeg]

Countdown = 15

The AC story continues, our compressor came with a 5 year warranty, well, the five years was up 6/9/08, just my luck.

The repairman took the serial number and is going to try and get the warranty to cover it, PD would be great!!

 

[MrsHeg]

Countdown = 14

We're making a family outing to the corn maize tomorrow, I'm going to have a heart attack if something jumps out of the corn at me!

 

[MrsHeg]

Countdown = 12

We didn't make it to the Corn Maze, our DGS was sick and throwing up since he was the reason we were going we cancelled.

Today was pumpkin carving day,

DGS's:

And mine:

It's a tradition that we carve pumpkins together every year.

 

[MrsHeg]

So here we are at Countdown = 10

The AC repair isn't going to be the cheap one, (doesn't surprise me at all)

The good thing is it's cold out so we're not burning up and it doesn't have to be a rush job.

I'm making a list now of some things I need to pick up for the trip, I also have to go clothes shopping as my wardrobe is very limited due to weight loss.

I came across this while browsing through some old photobucket pictures,

It was a prank that we pulled on our youngests DD's boyfriend. He went along on a family trip in '06, he had made the comment to her about "those" people in Disney, the ones that held hands and seemed to "skip" down the street. We had matching shirts for a few days and one morning I had her give him this one to put on, no one else had one and he caught on to the gag pretty quick.

 

[MrsHeg]

Here's my absolute FAVORITE picture from our '06 trip,

He fell in love with stitch

 

[MrsHeg]

Countdown = 8

I did get some of the shopping done, but Disney has to take a back seat to Halloween for the next two evenings.

I'm off to get a big pot of chili made to feed everyone tomorrow night.

 

[babytrees]

Debbie-I didn't realize you were an office manager too!! I love your report so far and can't wait to hear how it goes!!

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Subscribing Debbie! Hope you have a great trip!

I know what you mean about blocked out dates! DW is a store manager and can't get any time off in November or December!
Otherwise we would love to see Disney at Christmastime!

 

[tinknme]

Debbie I can't believe I had not noticed you started a pre-trip report, I'm sorry

You are off to a great start & I look forward to hearing your live reports

Sorry you will miss the Osborne Lights though, I am really looking forward to seeing these again in Dec.

 

[my3princes]

What a great start to a trip report. I can't wait to read more. Of course we always need a Disney Fix. You are staying at our favorite DVC resort.

 

[PNO4TE]

Hi, Debbie! I didn't know you had this TR up here on the DIS!

Sounds like many things are falling into place for your trip. I love the birthday shirts.

Hope the AC fix can be put off for a bit.

 

[bethbuchall]

Debbie, I wish I were going with you! It sounds like you are going to have a terrific time!

I love all the photos that you have included, and I hope to see lots and lots more from your trip!

Your pumpkins look terrific, too.

Beth

Here's the view that had me spellbound at the Christmas party last year,

Debbie,

I cannot wait to stand in front of the Castle this year and see that same sight. I am getting so excited. 35 more days for Stephanie and I
