Why does drinking always lead us back to Disney? Sept 2017 6/13 update!

We get to go to MNSSHP this year too. September 1st. I saw a cute costume idea, but my kids nixed it. The 3 kids had team jerseys on (Lions, Tigers and Bears) and then the parents shirt said "Oh My!" Oh well. Chelsea will be dressed in her Newsies costume. It was her dance team's theme this year. The other 2 are on their own I guess.

The auction happened a few days before my tax refund, so I was good. Jacob wanted the Stitch bag so badly. I really liked the Jasmine bag. We have 4 bags and 1 mini and 2 wallet / lanyards. I am lagging behind, but my daughter promised to get me a bag from the Japan Disney Store and they had tons of cute ones for $40 or less. She also is going to buy ponchos there for all of us. Something different than the yellow ones we have been wearing.

The kids always ruin the best ideas! I like the idea. I need to come up with something for when we go for MNSSHP. It will be September, so it will probably still be hot!
 
I love that you all love vacationing at WDW so much! I have to say I agree. Why go anywhere else when WDW has everything AND Mickey Mouse lives there?

You're going to MNSSHP the night we leave!! We will need to plan a meet for this trip...

Do the kiddos suspect anything? The suspense would just kill me!!

Love this one too! Kids don't know cute when they see it!

Looks like I will be going to MNSSHP on Halloween! While it will be cool to see people with great costumes, I know it will sell out. It really works out best for our trip, though (and we were there 2 years ago and went on Nov 1 and that sold out also). I even just changed my plane tickets (love you SW Air) and arrive earlier and it was even cheaper!!! My original flight was non-stop, and the new one has one stop, but gets us in early afternoon so we can check into our hotel and then head to WDW!!! We'll probably just do some sort of T-Shirt. It will probably still be very hot, so I'm not going to do anything to involved.
 
Finally all caught up Mo. My word, you have had a lot on your plate. Hope your stepfather is continuing to mend and doing okay. You had better take care of yourself as well. Something we ladies need to always remind ourselves since we are always so busy with taking care of others.

I cannot believe you have a group of 14. Your TR is going to be crazy. Yes for your ADR's!!

You have to go to Pandora and come report directly to me. DH is of the "there are more places than Disney" group and I haven't been in like four million years. We have been on cruises and road trips. I even showed him a Pandora pamphlet WDW sent us. No response. Is the family going to Rivers of Light?

So, do you think your almost-teenagers have a inkling about WDW but are pretending to not? I can't believe the trip/birthdays are only 5 months away.

Take care Mo!!
 
Achhh! I have been gone from here for so long but I am now back! I need to get back into the boards! I am excited to catch up on your report!
 


My other bag is Nemo with the P. Sherman mask zipper pull. Love it. I'm getting one made but I don't know what it will be. I gave her two ideas and let her choose! I figure the more leeway she has to be creative, the more I will love the bag!

I remember this bag! Love it!
you will love everything she will do. and i cannot wait to see it! Too bad she is missing from my reports too see all this love!

I can't bring myself to pay to dive in the Seas. I volunteered as an aquarium diver for about 6 years, so I've done a lot of aquarium diving for free. It's fun, but I'd rather spend my $$ on other things since I dive all the time!

that's amazing.. seriously.. SO AMAZING! It scares the living daylights out of me.

I'm going to be there Oct 31, and figured I'd go on Halloween. But now that they announced Nov 1, I'm debating which day to go. 31st is arrival day and I had no other plans. Next day is first day of my conference, so I might be more tied up. Still debating, but really Halloween works out better with my schedule--and since both will probably sell out, I don't think it will make much difference.

THAT'S AWESOME!!

We're good to go for the 12th too :thumbsup2

YIPPEE! this is exciting!

I'm glad that Figment went to a good home. :) I loved that one, too! I have a Jungle Book with Baloo and Mowgli and a beautiful black and white Mickey with him holding a paintbrush. That one was a custom bag. I sent D some fabric that I had bought on a Disney Cruise years ago. It's the material from the colored side of the Animator's Palate wait staff's vests. D used that for the lining. I'll see if I can find some pictures.

I adore Figment! He has been out with me a couple of times so far and only one person knew who he was...

We are still struggling with costumes for MNSSHP, too. We've done family costumes each time and I'm out of ideas. We've done:

  • Peter Pan
    • Emma-Tinkerbell
    • DJ and I-Pirates
  • Toy Story
    • Em-Jessie
    • DJ-Woody
    • Me-BoPeep
  • Brave
    • Em-Merida
    • DJ-King Fergus
    • Me-Queen Elinor
  • Cinderella
    • Em-Cinderella
    • Me-Fairy Godmother
    • DJ-kinda lame, but he was the bodyguard

I maybe stealing these???

Em still wants to do a family theme, but I am struggling. I need to get on this soon, so I guess there will be a lot of Pinterest in my future.

Can't wait to hear what you come up with.. Since i have no clue what are plans are..

We watched the MNSSHP parade in Town Square and I got really tired of hearing this song.

How are you going to get costumes ready if the trip is going to be a surprise?

I bet you did. The song is an ear worm FOR SURE!
This is a great question i wish i had an answer for. If we come up with a theme i might be able to get something together?

That my friend is an amazing idea..

I wanted that stitch bag!!! to the point i almost bribed D a couple of times... (ok maybe i DID bribe her) obviously it didn't work.

I love this idea!!! :)
The kids always ruin the best ideas! I like the idea. I need to come up with something for when we go for MNSSHP. It will be September, so it will probably still be hot!

YES the kids have no idea what they are missing with this great idea!
I agree with something light since it will be H-O-T

I love that you all love vacationing at WDW so much! I have to say I agree. Why go anywhere else when WDW has everything AND Mickey Mouse lives there?

EXACTLY!!!
It has every country- why do i need to go anywhere else??

You're going to MNSSHP the night we leave!! We will need to plan a meet for this trip...

we do... we SO DO!

Do the kiddos suspect anything? The suspense would just kill me!!

I don't know... many many many people ask us about when our next trip is we whisper when but say out loud next year.
We have had several planning meetings with the crew.
They may suspect but don't believe it? they constantly talk about Disney. We constantly watch you tube vloggers We get in the car and someone will put on some sort of Disney music.. so i have NO clue if they know or not. but i will NOT say a word except we are going next year.

Love this one too! Kids don't know cute when they see it!

isn't this the truth!

YAY! a plan!
I am so glad everything worked out for you! Nothing like saving money and getting there earlier! that's some pixi dust right there! WHOOP!
I was thinking the same-- some sort of tee shirt design.

Finally all caught up Mo. My word, you have had a lot on your plate. Hope your stepfather is continuing to mend and doing okay. You had better take care of yourself as well. Something we ladies need to always remind ourselves since we are always so busy with taking care of others.

Hi there!
Yes! Mike is doing LOADS better we had a couple more scares but thankfully all is well and he is getting stronger and stronger! Thank you for asking!
eh i wake up- do everything i can do- sleep and do it all over again. just like every other mom in the world!

I cannot believe you have a group of 14. Your TR is going to be crazy. Yes for your ADR's!!

How about it! I better take amazing notes! or loads of video to refer to.. HA!

You have to go to Pandora and come report directly to me. DH is of the "there are more places than Disney" group and I haven't been in like four million years. We have been on cruises and road trips. I even showed him a Pandora pamphlet WDW sent us. No response. Is the family going to Rivers of Light?

I cannot tell you how excited i am so see pandora!! You have to get him to go to pandora!! HAVE TO!
YES i am going to Rivers of Light. I am going to do all the new fun stuff AK has to offer!!!

So, do you think your almost-teenagers have a inkling about WDW but are pretending to not? I can't believe the trip/birthdays are only 5 months away.

this is what i posted above but didn't want to pass this reply up either!

Hello!
I am so sorry for the disappearing act. but life.

BUT i have AMAZING NEWS.

I quit smoking.

yes you read that right. I did it. I kicked the habit. We were at Bryan's house who is also a HUGE smoker. and he told me he quit with chantix.
Guess who went to the Doc? THIS ONE!
Long story short until i can give you fun details with pictures and things.
it's been about 3 weeks since i had a cigarette I DO have the electronic cigarette that i use instead of skinning my loved ones alive. I use it maybe twice a day. sometime i don't use it at all it's just there to stop me from committing murder.

of course i gained a BOAT load of weight which i am now the proud member of the gym. I have been going everyday unless i work job #2.

there ya have it!
I have a few things still to catch up on around here since i took a nice long weekend this past weekend i deserved it... ya know it was my BIRTHDAY weekend!! Today i am back and it sucks. I will tell you all about it SOON hopefully tomorrow.

my main focus is DISNEY IN 5 months and MOVING in a year and a half.. wish i could tell you where we are moving.. but sadly we have no idea.

Florida is out.

Ky- Tenn- possibly NC or SC

just looking!
 
I was so far behind on this, but I did see you managed to get reservations for 14 people without too much difficulty - that makes me so happy! Our trip next January was originally just my fiance and I, but then we decided why not get married while we're there, so now I'm trying to plan a trip for 20 people o_O Here's hoping I have the same luck you did making your reservations!

Great bucket list choices! Haha, I laughed at the boys answer to wanting a party instead of a road trip! If they only knew what they were actually doing for their birthday...



Stuff to do: Caring for Giants tour, Undiscovered futureworld tour, keys to the kingdom tour, marceline tour, vip tour, would kind of like to celebrate different holidays there even if it would be crowded, festival of the arts, maybe a 5k, if they ever brought back the 24 hour day I'd love to do that, disney wedding, all the different dessert parties. Basically everything :rotfl:

Raeven! You can attend Festival of the Arts next year when you come to my Disney wedding haha! :rotfl:

Which then i asked..

Hey you do know there are other places to vacation besides Disney right?
They all said NO THERE ISN'T
Which made me feel all squishy and happy.. Just want to ensure i am not pushing Disney on them

Great response from your kids! They know what's up!

That's fantastic! Good for you!
 
Raeven! You can attend Festival of the Arts next year when you come to my Disney wedding haha! :rotfl:

:rotfl: I'm still trying! I don't know if either of us can get enough days off (or if we'd even know until it was too late because I don't know what days I get off until Jan). But our Dec trip is out because of flight prices.

We were planning to go sometime in Feb for Mardi Gras/Fest of the Arts. SW next batch of flights releases soon so I'll be able to see what prices are like but ideally I'd like to go once in Jan for your wedding and once in March for Mardi Gras, I just don't know if that would work out :laughing: If not I'd probably just stick with Feb.
 
I quit smoking.

Yay! So proud of you, I knew you could do it. Think about all the extra Disney time you will have now that you don't have to run from one side of the park to the other looking for the DSAs. This deserves a few dancing men.

No GA? Something wrong with my State? :rotfl2: I will be happy with Tenn or SC. Both are fairly close to me. ::yes::

If you guys can make it work for my wedding, I will make sure there's a spot for you and Josh at both Homecomin' and our dessert party!
