And a big BOO to every family member who showed up at our cookout yesterday and announced right in front of my 9 year old "DID YOU HEAR THERE WAS A MONORAIL CRASH???????" thanks a whole freaking lot.

I tried very, very hard to keep that info away from my nine year old daughter, also! Here aer some for the days between your arrival and mine!

[disneydaycare]

I have not watched tv or been on the computer all weekend and just read about the Monorail accident. Very sad for the family and all involved. My prayers are with them.

Brighter notes;
Born 2b a princess; we also hit the Justice sale. My DD picked the 11.99 bathing suit. Yea! In fact most of the stores at our outlet mall were having sidewalk sales. I got a pair of Liz Claiborne shoes for $4. My DH is now the proud owner of 2 Grumpy shirts because he would not wear matching Mickeys with the kids and I. Now a picture w/ Snow White is in order. He says no..........we'll see. He also made his first comment to his brother about our vacation(with excitement in his voice). Thank the Lord, I might be rubbing off on him.

So, 4th of July with the baby. Not so hot. He hated the noise and tried to crawl up my head. He will not keep ear plugs in. So all you veteran disers.........HELP! I cannot (yes I said I) miss Wishes or Fantasmic. Any ideas for me besides duck taping his little head?

I had a huge problem at justice this weekend - It seems they were sold out of almost everything in my DD's size Waah!

[njtinkmom]

OMG - It's Monday and Friday will be right around the corner! I have nothing done! DH took the suitcases out of the attic - that's it! I still have to pack for the 7 of us, and go to work 11 hours a day - YIKES!! I can't believe it is almost here!! All these months of planning and it seemed like it would never arrive!! I better get moving!!

We had to hit 2 different stores to get my DD size in a swimsuit.

I have never heard of Justice......what is it?

My family and I will be visiting Disney from July 16th through the 24th. We are celebrating my girls birthdays. My oldest turns 13 this weekend. My youngest turns nine a week after we get back.

This year we're going to stay in Port Orleans Riverside. I requested the mansions so hopefully they'll be able to find one for us as both of my girls fell in love with them from the pics on the Disney.com site.

I made all of my dinner reservations in April. We didn't take advantage of the dining plan last year. We mostly at CS or out of our cooler, although we did make a stop at Tony's, a favorite of mine from my visits in the late 80's. After reading tons of reviews, I think I've made good choices....the only one that worries me is Restaurant Marrakesh but I think we'll be okay. After all, who doesn't like shish kabobs and couscous, right? Lol!

This year we'll be eating at
Liberty Tree Tavern on 7-17 @ 7
Boma on 7-19 @ 9am
Restaurant Marrakesh on 7-20 @ 7
Whispering Canyon on 7-21 @ 7
Chef Mickey on 7-22 @ 9am
50's Primetime also on 7-22 @ 7
and then dinner at O'Hana's @ 6:30
before starting our long sad drive back to Indiana (are there any other adults that feel sad when they leave Disney? lol! DH thinks I'm nuts!)

Welcome! You'll be there around the same time we will!

yikes, get a move on girl. Just kidding - It will all fall into place. I';m 3/4 packed. but I still have a boatload of errands to run before we go. Luckily this is my last day of work before we leave.

But it's all good! I read something on someone's post a while back, totally butchering it here, but it was essentially don't mourn because it's over, rejoice because you did it. I am going to try to take on that attitude!

DH's plantar fasciitis started acting up at the end of last week, he'd been pain free for a year, so of course it's time for him to start limping! UGGGGH!!!! I am trying everything I know to get it better, but I told him that if he can't walk I'm leaving him in the rooom! He said he'd rent a ECV before he missed out on my trip of a lifetime! He's going to the dr. this afternoon to talk about maybe getting a cortisone shot later in the week...

Been checking out the 10 day forecast on weather.com. 93 degrees anyone? YIKES!

I hope your DH's foot doesn't bother him while you're on your vacation! That would be terrible!

It's a girl's clothing store. Same lines as Limited Too. We had both for awhile and then Justice took over the Limited Too store also. It's expensive, but they do have some killer sales 3-4 times a year.

Tomorrow morning at this time I'll be on a plane almost half way to Orlando

Would he wear headphones? If you have an Ipod or Mp#, you could hook up headphones to something he might like to listen to and drown the fireworks noises out..... Depedning on the heat, you might could get one of those little ear wrap things like a headband for winter, or a hat with flaps - Goofy ears maybe?

Just called Pop, and they have our request in the system for 60's 4th floor lakeside!!! Also needed to request a bed rail for Sophie, but they said just to call down when we get there for that!!!!

Sounds like you found some great sales! Gotta love it. I wish I could get my DH to wear character shirts...I think I'll be pushing my luck to get him to wear a Mickey baseball cap -- he's planning to take just his baseball caps for the high school he coaches/teaches at. I really want to get him something WDW to wear but he is refusing.

Yes, Justice took over the Limited Too stores. Their publicity when they did it said they would have lower prices than what Limited Too had, but I definitely haven't seen that happen. The prices are still the same. You can still find Limited Too merchandise at the Justice website -- there is a tab for Limited Too. Love their clothes and their sales (but I refuse to pay their non-sale prices).
