I thot I saw a puddy cat!!!!! I did I did I taw a puddy cats!!!! :

Hope you're feeling OK, you seemed a little down the last couple of posts I think you're just desperate to start getting organised and planning it all out - the time will just fly by though and before you know it you'll be booking those ADRs!

I can't believe how quickly your ticker is going down - I'm just so jealous!!

Fingers crossed the flights will start coming down again - they seem to be up and down all over the place at the moment! (I'm checking airline prices on a daily basis over here - why???? Because I just like to torture myself)

love the scrap booking pages, they look great, way better than mine ever have (probably why I gave up scrap booking, but it was also cause of my kiddos getting into everything) Now I do those photo books that you buy through companies, I know you can get one through the photo pass thingy, so I'm gonna probably do that whenever we manage our trip.

Thanks. I am still new at this scrapbooking stuff. I have been doing it about a year. I still need to learn how to use the tools but I have fun with it.

I'm still here!!! and yay for trex desserts!!


I can not wait to scrap with you one day! I will learn so very much!!
I love these pages!!


These look great "crap" camera and all!!!

As soon as you get here we can start scrappin' together. I think TRex for desserts will be fun.

Hi Di,

It has been a bit depressing around here lately. Seems that it just changed after Joe's mom died. Not sure how we can get it back to normal so to speak, or as normal as possible. It seems like the ticker is moving, doesn't it? Hopefully by the time we get to make ADR's, I'll actually know what we're doing.

Flights are coming down now but only through the first part of March. I can get to Orlando for under 200 dollars....lot of good that does me in September. This is the first year in a few that we are not making multiple trips but this economy is killing us over here.

Hopefully I will get out of this "funk" that I am in soon. The winter storm warning that just came across the news isn't helping!

Hi Sophia,

Things will get better, it's an old cliche that time is a great healer, but it is true.

Things are pretty bad over here as well economy wise, for once I'm grateful me and DH are in the jobs we are, I work for the NHS and DH is in local government - no job is 100% secure, but we're about as secure as you can get! We've tightened our belts budget wise and are doing OK at the moment - fingers crossed things will start to get better soon!

Flight prices will probably come down nearer the time - they'll want to make sure they have bums on seats!

Hi Di,

I am hoping that things will get better soon.

The economy is terrible, isn't it? We both have jobs too so we are fortunate. I am hoping that things get better soon!

I keep checking airfare too. Seems that there is a sale now if we were to go by early March. Less that $200 round trip!

I took another stab at our itinerary and dining arrangements today. Here is what I ended up with. Granted, if my mom decides that she is going we will probably go back to no dxdp and fewer plans. We'll see soon. She promises to let me know right after she has her taxes done.

Day of Arrival
Stop at Walmart to get snacks
Check in at CS
Epcot
Dinner at Sunshine Seasons (love the variety there)
Stay for Illuminations

Day 2
Crystal Palace for breakfast - early so I can get good MK pics before the crowd
Possible Keys to the Kingdom Tour - if so, no Columbia for lunch
Columbia Harbour House for lunch
Break for Joe - get zebra domes from AKL on the way back to resort
Back to Magic Kingdom
CRT for dinner
Hopefully Spectro and Wishes will be scheduled this night

Day 3
Boma for breakfast
DHS
Lunch at the produce place by BatB (can never remember the name of that place)
Fantasmic dinner package at Mamma Melrose if Fantasmic is playing tonight

If no Fantasmic, change plans for the day -- need to wait for the calendar to come out.

Day 7
Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare
DHS
Lunch - 50's Prime Time or Starring Rolls
Break for Joe
Early Dinner at Kona Cafe

Day 8
Breakfast at Maya Grill
Epcot
Lunch at Rose and Crown
Break for Joe
Back to Magic Kingdom for anything we missed
Dinner - TBD

Day 9
Depends on when our flight leaves. We may also add a day and go home the following day. If we add a day, not sure what we are doing this day. It's our friend John's birthday so we'd like to celebrate that with him and his family...if they'll have us.

So, any thoughts? comments? suggestions?

 

[inkedupmomma]

we'll have you!! but you gotta change some ish around. our sched's are not meshing now!

Not sure what happened. I thought that we only added some meals. I didn't change any days around. Hmmm, we'll figure it out.

I still wish that the rest of my family was going. 2010 is our 10th anniversary and they all want to go then so they figure that they will skip a year. We were going to renew our vows but it is incredibly expensive. We're still going to go but it may turn into a grand gathering instead. Joe and I said that if we were not going to renew our vows, maybe we can stay at the Poly instead. Still thinking about it.

I so wish we could go with you then! But I really think we may consider beginning of december for Kayla's 10th bday or feb for my 30th.. I suppose we will see.

We'll be back for Joe's 40th in February 2011 so if you go for your birthday, we'll see you there.

I so want to go in December. We made the mistake of going the week between Christmas and New Year's and it was a disaster. We actually came home 3 days early because of the crowds. I thought maybe the first week wouldn't be so bad though. I am wondering if maybe we can stay at a moderate instead of the Poly in September 2010 and be able to go back in December. Don't know if Joe would go for it, but it is worth a try!

I'm putting these in just for fun. Our friends met us at WDW when we were on our honeymoon in September 2000. There wasn't much different that I could see, except of course, the Disney bags. I wish they'd go to the different colored ones again. I'm tired of the blue ones already.

Check these out.

Our friends Elmer and Beth:

And these two from our shower. Check out Joe's cheesey moustache!:

Woohooo! Check out the young things!!!! Isn't it funny looking back at yourself? I hardly recognise myself sometimes - no wrinkles or grey hairs!!

Plans are looking good so far - good selection of ADRs. Just need to match up with Inkedupmomma!

When I look back at the picture I have to laugh. Joe is about 10 years younger than I am so he's in his 20's here. I am in my late 30's. We had so much fun back then.

Hey hey hey!!! I'm gettin there!

Cute Disneymoon pics!!

Your new itinerary looks fun... hope that you'll be able to figure out the tweeks needed to meet up with inkedupmomma!

So, my brother has been bugging us about going to Star Wars Weekend. I didn't have the hear to tell him it wasn't in the budget. So, I got us free tickets using frequent flyer miles and we are sharing a room at ASSports. Not my fav resort but hey, it's Disney.

So, the entire trip is going to cost is $200.53! We are going from 5/23 - 5/26. We will be there by 10 a.m. and have the whole day on the 23rd and we fly back at 5 something on the 26th which is cool!

YAY!

Now for dining.................I have no clue!

Don't be sad! I am gonna scope out stuff for us when we go back in September. This trip is all about my bro and whatever he wants to do since he has never been before.

I'm so jealous... ......I keep looking at prices for this year, but we really need to do some decorating in the house - it's looking a bit grim and shabby. We didn't do it last year *** of the holiday so we can't put it off any longer.

......Still I could sell one of the children....or a kidney....or one of Grumpy's kidneys!!!!!!!

I know what you mean. Joe and I were just talking about everythng to be done here at the house too. The winter has been so harsh here that the door jams are swelling and it has become hard to lock the doors at night! Thank goodness that is improving though. I was worried that we'd need new doors for a minute there!

This summer we're going to get a new driveway. I am not looking forward to that! But hey, for 200 dollars, I think I'm going to Disney!
