We are Soarin' to Disney;We're back! TR started! LINK pg 127

[Brave teacher]

WOO HOO! So exciting! I love the last few days of getting everything in order before we leave. The outfits for Ashton are just too cute. It sucks for Ashton that the Crocs don't fit. Sam tried the Crosstrails on at Academy. They cost the same, but we have the 20% code for the website and free shipping.

So close!! You're going to have so much, Connie!
Cute clothes.

Forgot to mention:
I love Ashton's pins. I think it will be interesting to see how into trading he is. Emily holds on to her pins and rarely trades while Amy doesn't have the same pin for 5 minutes!
Would you mind PMing me the info on the seller?
Edit: Yet another thing I forgot to mention-- Make sure you buy your tickets for Universal online. They are 40$ more a person at the gate.

Wow, how sad about Luke's sister. Glad you are able to take him this time. Can't wait to read all about your trip!!!

 

[Mombits]

Man, I don't know what's going on over there. We have suitcases sitting by the door packed. Backpacks, with travel goodies for the kids, next to the suitcases. The only thing we have left to pack is the cooler. If I could pack that now, I would.

The only delemas we have left are:

I still have to tell my boss I'm not coming in Friday.

We have to decide if DD is staying home Friday, we're checking our out at the 1/2 day mark, or we're just gonna leave when she get's out of school. DS doesn't have school Friday.

Wooo Hooo, 5 more days!!!

Man, I wish I could say everything was packed. My house is in disarray as I am trying to get everything packed. I am taking my kids out of school at noon on Friday and our plane leaves at 3!!!!!

 

[Charlefours]

Thanks! guys...Ashton is always the best dressed around here!
I had bought a T-Rex tee for our day in US and I cannot find it anywhere...I thought he wore it to my mom's but she said she does not have it...seems I can't find alot of stuff lately...

Nickie~ I'm having trouble sleeping thinking I should have just stayed with the fall trip....my nerves are getting the best of me!!!
But, I will be fine in 4 days!

Hey Barbara,
I really don't think Ashton will do well with the pins; but than again he may surprise me when he sees that you give one and get one...he may think that is loads of fun...I also filled him up an M&M tube with quarters and pennies to stamp a penny I thought he would get a kick out of that one, too!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Wow, how sad about Luke's sister. Glad you are able to take him this time. Can't wait to read all about your trip!!!

That was one if the saddest periods of all our lives but especially for him and his family...whe had just taken her GED and was planning on attending the local CC in the fall...and her boyfriend had planned ot propose to her that weekend...poor Luke would not ride in a car for almost a year after. (She was killed in a head on collision--the guy that hit her died of a massive heart attack and his truck hit her head on). He is such a quiet boy and it is so much fun seeing him all excited to be going!

Man, I wish I could say everything was packed. My house is in disarray as I am trying to get everything packed. I am taking my kids out of school at noon on Friday and our plane leaves at 3!!!!!

I wish everything was packed too! But I have found all my shorts now and few other tees for Danny...so by tomorrow I will have our bags all together...this afternoon I'm going to put our Friday nite bag together...

four days!!!

Thanks! Steph

Quick question:
I should probably PM Shannon on this but maybe one of you guys will know...this year I thought Ashton would like to build his own laser sword from Star Wars...where do you do this and about how much does it cost?!?

 

[aprilisis]

I was so behind on your PTR! I love your new bag, Ashton's pins, and I LOVE the cute Stitch swim trunks!!
I'm not sure how much the light saber costs (I'm guessing $18-20?), but I know you can build them at Once Upon a Toy in Downtown Disney Marketplace. I don't know if you can build them at Tatooine Traders in DHS. Sorry I'm not more help!!
Woohoo! 4 days to go!!!!

Thanks April! I don't remember seeing the saber's at the toy store last year...but, I wasn't looking either ...that sounds about what it should probably cost...I want a souvinear that does not come with many pieces...I can not take any more toys in this house with pieces
I was going to add to the potato head and at the moment I don't even want that!!! Danny doesn't even have to say a word

10 Signs You've Recently Been to the Magic Kingdom
By Annie Scott

There's a reason that so many people, young and old, flock to a Disney theme park every year. The Magic Kingdom and other Walt Disney parks and resorts deliver exactly what they claim to: magic. It may not be the kind of magic you read about in Harry Potter, but Disney definitely casts a spell on visitors. Want proof? Here are ten things you may notice about yourself for days after leaving Disney behind:

1. You can't get "It's a Small World After All" out of your mind.

2. You keep fumbling around your head for phantom ears.

3. When you see animals, you feel compelled to talk -- or sing -- to them.

4. The first thing you think about when you wake up is which Fastpass you're going to get.

5. You're wearing really, really brave color combinations.

6. When it gets dark out, you find yourself wondering when the fireworks will start.

7. Everywhere you go, you keep thinking you see someone carrying a balloon out of the corner of your eye.

8. The sight of a teacup makes you a little queasy.

9. When you're walking around outside, you keep instinctively looking for the castle to orient yourself.

10. Strangely, you feel sort of excited whenever you're standing in line.

That's too cute Connie. I can relate to several of those things.

So how's the packing going?

 

[MammaNicholas]

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO, Can you feel it!!!!

2 sleeps to Florida.

3 sleeps to Disney!!!

and about that weather is so worried about...

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,
It's about learning to dance in the rain.


You have a Great 3 Days To Disney Day!!!

 

[Cory's Gal]

3 DAYS CONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!





LOVE that MK list!! I totally love #3!!!!!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Good Morning Connie!

I think you can make one of the light sabers at the gift shop outside Star Tours in DHS. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw them there.

So, how goes the packing? And all the last minute craziness?? I'm so excited for you!

I couldn't agree more! Some of our favorite memories of Disney are when we were in ponchos and splashing in puddles.
