"You're Going WHERE on your 50th Birthday?!?

[joelp]

Okay....let me guess....Cinderella's castle for the monorail line?!!! Am I right?! Do I get a prize?!!

Awww, man ... ... I was hopoig to string you along for a few more days ... ...

The DW and I first saw it a couple years ago ... then thought about it last December ... and finally, since I hadn't even cracked my Disney Visa Rewards card, I bought it on our last day at WDW ...

Now I just have to find a place to put it (after Christmas!!) ...

 

[joelp]

Can't beat that...renting from a DVC member! So, is it a go??!

Not yet ... with 5 different famlies involved we're having trouble agreeing on anything ...

Tell me - why would anyone want to spend thousands of dollars to go some place so they could sleep late and just lay around??!?? .. Just stay at home and unplug the phone ...

With what they're thinking of spending for a 4 night all-inclusive place in the Dominican Republic or on a cruise, we could could spend a week at the AKL with the DxDDP!! (... and some people think WDW is expensive ...) - or go to Europe!! (with a side trip to Disneyland Paris ...?)

OK - I'm done venting now ...

Can't wait to see the DD's face when she realizes she has her own "Cinderella's Castle" ...

Back to those Photopass photos ...

Sorry.....I must have it on my brain...we bought our middle son the monorail last year and when I was there, I kept looking at buying Spaceship Earth for his set. He'll be 5 and just loves his monorail but it really does need "something" else to make it more fun, I like the Contemporary, too, since the monorail goes through it....not sure he'd like it as much though. Your DD will love it, how exciting!!!!!! I hear you on finding a place to stash it, before and after Christmastime!! But it's so fun to play with and so worth it!!!! Now I have to go to the website myself......

I hear you on that.....we're going to do an island next year for our 10 year anniversary but (between you and I and all the other people reading DIS...lol!) for the money, I'd love to go back to Disney since that's where we honeymooned...although, I know there are other magical places (in theory!) out there....it's my fav.....but on the same note, the thoughts of just siting in the sand having someone bring me umbrella drinks after having kids and being nutty these last 7 years, it may do the body good to just chill.....but I hear you LOUD and CLEAR! Good luck with that!!

So?? LOL!!!

 

[joelp]

I ordered the Photopass CD yesterday ... ... 156 photos grew to about 245!! ... with borders, cropping, etc ...

And I have a summary TR written ...

So I'll just have to put them together in a couple weeks ...

The photo albums arrived from Lillian Vernon, too - so I'm organizin' the Dec 2008 Trip photos ... FINALLY!!

And I'll be ready for the Sept trip photos ...

Then I just have to put the photo books together on Shutterfly ...

Off to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire next weekend for a little jousting and grape stomping ...

The DW's Family vacation is on hold - too much $$$ at the momemnt, so we're gonna wait and see if any deals pop up ...

Have a great week!! (even though we're not in WDW ... )

Oh, year - 108 weeks till our next trip (if not sooner ... ...)

[princess&her4princes]

Soooo......ready to start your TR yet?? Hint, Hint!!

 

[joelp]

Yep - started working on it (in detail) on my lunch hour yesterday ... but I still have to go through the pictures and load them onto Photobucket ... ...

And then there's the Pa Renaissance Faire pictures, too ... maybe I should do that first??

Whaddya think??

And - can you believe it? - but I didn't make it to the second round of the Disney Moms Panel "contest"!!

There's always next year ...

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hey Joelp!

Long time no talk!! How are things? Would love to hear what's new, see your Renaissance fair pics and hear about your trip! Hope you're still planning on doing a TR? Hope you and your family are well!! Oh and btw, I didn't make it to round 2 for the Mom's panel either...guess that just means we need to take more trips to become experts!!!

 

[joelp]

I'm still here - but I've been battling a head now - officially - for the past week, so I haven't been too busy on the ... mostly laying in front of the at night ...

The first day of my TR is ready to go ... so I'll probably post it later today ...

Once I think of a good title!!

... and maybe some PA Renaissance Faire pix, too ...

Caught up with your TR this morning, too ... ...

Cuz I'm contemplating taking Ranger for a run before I take the DD to school - either a run will kill this cold, or it will finally do me in ...

Later ...
