Happy Sunday Disboard friends!!!

Football season has started and life is good! Things have been crazy busy with work and Corey's schedule, but I feel like I'm finally getting a flow of things going!


Just need to go through and make some final ressies now that I've settled on our park days. I want to add Tusker House for SURE. Trying to figure out what I want to do about the 1900 Park Fare ressie… It's currently booked for Wednesday morning, but that's my day that I have planned to do all the Fantasyland stuff. I don't want take time away from all the "new" stuff!!

I'm going to cancel my CP ressie. It's just too much to ask Catie to sit through. Plus, Friday is our ONLY day in EPCOT, and I'd basically be giving up the WHOLE afternoon/evening in order to go. If we don't have a babysitter to hang out with the girls, then I could be missing out on a lot around the park. We already have the Akershus breakfast that morning at 9:30, My plan is to get Corey over to Soaring to get our FPs for that first thing while the girls and I walk back to WS!

I went to JC Penney's yesterday and bought some tanks and a pair of shorts. I'm REALLY hoping for nice mild/warm weather over thanksgiving!!!! I wanted to buy some capri's, but the shorts were cheaper, and I just don't have a lot of shorts that fit! Is it crazy that I REALLY want to start packing our bags now?????? I just keep thinking that the weather is starting to get cooler here, and it would be nice to pack up some of the shorts and such that I know I want to take with us. I'll probably wait a little while longer, and just start writing stuff down… but I really want to PACK!

Editted…
Guess what ya'll??!??!?! I just checked Airtran's site again and I totally lucked out! I just got $141 credit, because my flight had dropped prices AGAIN! I know my original prices were higher than I wanted, but I figured for the timing (holiday week) it was the best I could do. Well, repeat checking pays off!!! Of course, I have plenty of luggage "paid" for now AND a nice credit for my girl's trip that I'm considering in April!

So exciting news!!!

My TA emailed me about some changes that we had to make (nothing major, just reworking some things… mickey math is all!) and she let me know that she was able to move us to a Nemo Suite!!!!!!! Of course, now, I have convinced Cortlyn how great the Cars rooms are, so we need to watch some Nemo section videos online!! Oh darn… seeing more pictures and images of AoA??? I'm excited! I can't wait to get there!!!

So things are really fall into place for our trip. I'm getting so excited and I'm just READY for the trip to get here. But before the trip, we have to go to Hattiesburg for a wedding in October. It's going to be a fun costume wedding!! I think I'm going to be a Flight Attendant- IF the costume I found online is long enough! Adult costumes are sooo short!!!!!

[jenseib]

Yay!!!!!!

[emmysmommy]

How awesome that your air fare dropped again!!

Awwww the excitement of wanting to pack NOW - I know that feeling!

Happy Thursday!

[debrapagliasotti]

Yea for your airfare dropping again!!

Sorry to hear about having to drop CP. We were originally booked with all 4 kids, then DH & I talked it over more and we decided to send the little boys to Sand Castle Club & we will just take the older kids.

How exciting to have a Nemo suite at AoA!

I dont think its crazy to want to start packing already, I am already putting stuff away in suitcases too

NEMO SUITE!!! Yay!! I know you really wanted the Nemo Suite. And I'm sure Cortlyn will be very excited with the fact that she's at Disney, I'm sure the room will just be icing on the cake!

It is just so hard to KNOW what I want to pack and not doing it… I do have a little pile-o-stuff building in the bedroom though! Swim Diapers, water bottles…

If Catie was able to go to a Kids Club, I'd totally do that. But she's only going to be 19 months old… and the cost for the in room child care is just too much in my opinion for one night!

I'm super excited about the Nemo room!

Oh yeah, Cortlyn just wants to go back to Disney. She'd be happy anywhere as long as she could ride those buses! I think that's one of her favorite "rides"! haha!

OHEMGEE… I just realized that a girl (I'll call her R) I know that worked for Disney still DOES work for Disney and I'm just beside myself! She is Belle right now! and wait for it…










SHE ALSO IS MARY POPPINS!!!!


I am about to cry, just knowing that I know her and she is Belle AND she is Mary is just a little overwhelming. Like, I know that the magic is there regardless, but being this close to the Magic is just amazing! See… I knew that she had been Snow White- and she was an amazing Snow White. I didn't know R well, but we have SEVERAL mutual friends and we have talked. Anyway, I didn't realize that she was still there until tonight. I was on facebook and noticed one of our mutual friend's sister had a picture of her with Mary Poppins. I opened the picture to see, and I thought- Well… THAT looks like R!!! So I messaged my friend G and said "Um… is that Mary who I think it is????" and turns out, I was right!!! Sigh…

Of course, I always thought she was an amazing Snow White, but then seeing her dressed as Belle, I thought she was gorgeous! And now as MY MARY POPPINS?!?!?!!? I just want to die!

That is so cool! Does she have a main location or is she all over?

She does several things that she does, but it's a set schedule each week. 3 days a week she is in EPCOT and then she does MK one day and then she floats one day. I can't WAIT!!!! Her current schedule doesn't work with my plan, so of course I'm ready to scrap it all and start over! I think we will be waiting to see what happens with her schedule during the holidays and then try and rework some things so we can see each other!

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!!!!

She emailed me back today telling me that she is going to be training for the Storytime with Belle soon! I don't know if will get the chance to see her in that on our trip, but OMG!!!

Wow! It's great that your were able to save so much on flights!

I know what you mean about wanting to start packing early. I want to start buying clothes for the kids, but it is way to early! I am trying to wait until next June to start doing that.

It is so cool that you know a character in real life! Hopefully you will be able to get a picture with her on your trip!

I actually have finally pulled out the small suitcase and I have been putting stuff inside as I see it. Swim Diapers, shorts (PLEASE LORD LET ME HAVE WARM WEATHER!), water bottles…

My friend is going to do what she can to make sure we can meet up! I'm sooooo excited!!!!
