thanks for reading.
when is your trip?
We don't know when we are taking the little guy. It might be in January when I am doing the half marathon. If not then, definitely next November.
thanks for reading.
when is your trip?
him singing this song as we are driving to grandparents for dinner one night about 3 weeks before go on the trip
"sometimes you just gotta, gotta go to disney world"
-our response to that was just laugh and tell him how cute that was, when asked where he heard it, he said i just made it up because i want to go to disney world.
Next hurdle was the huge package of info that dawn sent us, including resort info, schedules etc...so i had to take all the AoA stuff out, i redid them and printed out POP info in its place...not alot of work but still sneaky sneaky.
here is a disney picture for this update, last night we had the minnie head sugar cookie that we got with one of our snack credits before we left...
verdict, not worth it, very dry and no flavor, parker even made a face and didnt want to finish his part, and asked for milk.
All caught up! I love a surprise trip! I can't believe you also surprised all of us! Well, except Marv and Dawn, I guess.
Such cute pics of the kids! I can't believe how grown up Parker is these days! Tell Candi she looks great!
excited to see another trip report from you guys!!! such a fun back story
both sound like good times to take him, totally different experience at each age for him and you guys to witness it.We don't know when we are taking the little guy. It might be in January when I am doing the half marathon. If not then, definitely next November.
thanks, i love a good dealNice with the Southwest flight maneuver. Very very smart.
illegal picture taking is only illegal if you get caught...and okay if the guy running the zip line says "what camera, you look like you have it stored away to me"Illegal picture taking. Although I would have been afraid of dropping the camera.
and wife approved unlike the kid tossing in the air inside the house.Kid pool tossing is an excellent sport.
it does have a catchy ring to it.I think I'm going to start singing Parker's Disney World song. It's so appropriate.
i was born smooth kathy.All caught up again, Dan. I can't believe how big those kiddos are getting...and they just get cuter every day.
Love how you were so smooth on your feet with covering questions by Candi (although you and Marv really need to be more careful in the future).
And Parker's questions just cracked me up. And love that he wanted to spend his money.
he does, it was hard to keep it from him, but glad we did this trip.I'm so glad to finally be hearing about this trip!! I remember when you shared about Parker wanting to pay for the trip.... about broke my heart. He has such a sweet heart.
Can't wait to hear more!!
thanks for joining in on another report...not late to the game, just started, and havent even gotten to the atual trip yet.Subbing - Better late than never, I guess! I enjoyed reading "Squirts, flirts..." your 2010 TR.
This is so sweet and cute!
ohh you did dont worry, i even told you not to worry about it and send everything like you normally do...before it arrived i also told her not to open any mickey mail as there might be something secret in it...she didnt even bat an eye and said okay.We did talk about me sending the package and the fact that it would have AoA stuff in it, yes? I can't remember! I just want to make sure I didn't almost blow your cover. Oh, and I could have printed out Pop stuff for you - sorry about that. I just didn't think about it!
luckily it was just paid with a snack credit, i would have been upset even paying the 3 bucks for it.So funny that he didn't like the cookie, either! My friend Anna bought a cookie off the Christmas tree at the Grand Floridian when we went in December 2008, and her little boy was 4 then and he decided he'd eat it. Well, it wasn't really made to be eaten, more of a decoration. But since he had already taken a bite, Anna told him he could eat the rest. He told her it was yucky and he didn't want it. She took a bite and spit it out! She was mad that she paid like $15 for a cookie that they couldn't even eat!
glad you enjoyed it, it was a good resort, we had a good time...glad you liked it too.I have so enjoyed reading! We left AOA the day after you guys got there. We really enjoyed it!
We also have a four year old boy! They are so much fun. Can't wait to read more!
glad to see one of the originals here.Am here
I was in Disney the same time as you were. We even took a trip over to AOA to check it out. Looks awesome!!!
We might have crossed paths and didn't even know it
Off to read
glad you enjoyed it, it was a good resort, we had a good time...glad you liked it too.
are you going to do a report about your trip?
glad to see one of the originals here.
thats really funny, i didnt even know you were going...otherwise i would have told you were were going to be there too.
are you doing a TR about it, i always enjoyed yours in the past
they do take alot of work, but i like how it lengthens out my trip and makes the next one that much closer.Thanks
No problem.
Thank you for compliment. I have not done one in years, so maybe next year. I am pretty lazy and just post my trip pics on Facebook for now
he is growing up so fast, but still has his little boy qualities that make you just want to hug the snot out of him.I can't believe how big Parker has gotten. He is so handsome
Noelle is such a cutie pie.
Good cover with Candi
How cute Parker kept asking to go to Disney. I bet it was breaking your heart not to tell him.
I can't wait to hear how their surprises went
Not sure yet! Maybe! Do you typically go every 2 years? I noticed in your signature yall go about every 2 years.. Thats about right for us too.. Looking at September 2014- It was such a nice time to go- ( Sept 14th just seems so far away)
they do take alot of work, but i like how it lengthens out my trip and makes the next one that much closer.
can you PM me what your daily schedule was, i am curious if we did cross paths some day and not even know it.

it was hard not to tell him
TR's help the time between trips go much faster. by the time you finish the TR, you are ready to start really planning the next one.
we started out the first two years of our marriage, then switched to every 2 years, we would like to go more often, but it just sort of worked out that way the last 3 trips.
the off years let us take other week trips to other locations.
this sept. trip seemed to be the most crowded of the 3 sept trips we took.
we really enjoyed the early december trip we took, low crowds christmas stuff is up, and cooler weather 70's every day
thats true, one bad thing about it...we have already started a vacation fund for next trip, $100 bucks already...We have been in December before too and it is really nice. Just hard to afford trip, plus Christmas ;( I thought it was rather crowded too opposed to how I thought it would be... September is also nice because then when everyone else is going to the beach and things during the summer- you know your "after summer trip" is around the corner!
yep you were another one of hte special few.I'm here!
I knew about the trip! I feel so special LOL.
I'm going through post-Disney blues so it'll be a few days until I start my TR but I'll let you know asap! You did a great job keeping all of this a surprise. Especially with Candi trying to look up your reservation details! Can't wait to read about your trip.
mustard, nice to see you here. it seems like the first year has flown by, but also like it has taken a long time, which i guess is a good thing, we sure have done alot with them this last year.
he has always been that way, going after the older ladies, must take after me.
well i think the difference was like 350 for the length of the trip, minus what we paid OOP for the few table meals, it was closer to about 50 dollar difference, which sounds like a no brainer, and i almost pulled the trigger and did it.
but then i thought about the extra 9 sit down meals (if you take out the 3 we were doing no matter what) that it would add, and figured roughly 20-25 bucks in tips, and well that threw me off the upgrade for this trip. plus we were excited to try some different CS meal locations this trip we never had a chance to visit yet.
I ran into the same thing the last 6 months about the resort for candi, when she was having a bad day i wanted so bad to tell her, but knew the surprise would be worth it.
we loved going in december, you will have a blast then, we found the crowds lighter then than in the fall when we go.
i will check out the PreTR thanks for the heads up.
