Two Weeks until Two Weeks! - Update 3/22 - NEW TR LINK!

Okay lady! Have a super duper fantastic time!! Take lots of wonderful Brook pictures, and make sure a ton of them are of the adorable Henry!! I can't wait to follow the trip on Facebook, too!

P.S. The Henry video is absolutely fabulous!!
 
Hope you guys have a great vacation!!!! Enjoy every minute of it!!! Say hello to Goofy & Mickey for me! ;)

I'll be watching for your FB updates!!! :cool1:
 
Whew I'm finally caught back up just in time for you to leave.

That video of Henry was too cute. I too liked it when he tapped his chin as he was thinking. He has really grown since your last trip. He's going to have so much fun with all the great things you have planned and the down time to just play.

In case I don't get another chance I hope y'all have a very Magical trip!:wizard:
 
:yay: See you there!!!!!!!



I saw a pic last night of the giant Woody topiary, it looks amazing! It's like a bigger version of the one they have over in DHS.



Joe convinced me. We were still dating at the time. Oh, the things you do when you are in young love. :rotfl: My eyelids flapped in the wind. Yes, my EYELIDS. I never want to experience THAT again. I couldn't even get out of the car, Joe had to literally pull me out. It was crazy!




LOL - ya, I don't have any inside scoop! I grab a lot of info from here, AllEars and a couple other sites.

I believe the campfire is nightly; however, Chip & Dale don't always show up, but they do most of the time - there isn't a set schedule for them that I have seen. I hope we don't pick the one night they don't come!

That is very cool about us having the same anniversary!!! We will be FIVE this year - which is hard to believe! HUGE CONGRATS on your 19!!!!!!!!



And today marks ONE!

WOW i just read abot that today in an editting thingy today. i don't think i will be rideing that ever!!!!
 
It's almost time for Henry to go to bed and we haven't mentioned the trip hardly at all today, so he hasn't a clue - that means he should sleep well.

Me on the other hand....:hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

You had decaf coffee in the city right? ;)

That video was absolutely adorable. He's such a cutie pie. I hope you have a wonderful time; can't wait to read all the updates on FB!
 
Hope you guys have a fabulous, relaxing trip!!! Can't wait to hear about TWO weeks in Disney! So jealous!!!!

I'll be following along on FB!

Safe travels!! :goodvibes
 
Hey Robin!
I will look for resort specific merchandise and let you know! I too am a magnet collector, so I'll surely be on the watch for that. It seems like there are a lot of us that would like the resort merch, but perhaps not enough for them to do the extra cost of it. I have seen a few discussions of the DVC resorts getting some specific merch as of late, so maybe we have hope!

I actually don't think the perk of the segmented DDP is listed on the website! It's sort of a secret. LOL You can just call and ask them to segment you reservation and then add the dining plan to those days. You keep all one reservation number, but it appears split on your DVC Member profile. The first time I called and asked for this the CM said they couldn't do that, but I have since called back twice and gotten CMs that had no issue with it. The one told me we would have to get new keys each time, BUT, there is debate about that on the boards - some people have had to, others haven't. :confused3 I put a thread out there asking for more recent experiences with it, to see how it went (hopefully smoothly!), and if they had to get new keys. I haven't check it yet this morning, hopefully I have a couple responses.

Yep! We might be in WDW over NYE again. It works well with timing for vacation and work, plus the NYE fireworks are amazing! Earlier December is so much better crowd and weather wise though!

I would love to have an NYC meet! There are quite a few of us in this area - someone just needs to organize it all. Maybe I will this summer....:scratchin

I didn't get the I Mickey Head NY shirt because I kinda wanted Women's style versus just the regular t-shirt and they were out of those in my size - except in HOT PINK and I wanted black or gray. So, I went with another shirt - it's Minnie as the Statue of Liberty. It's very cute! I can't believe I didn't post a pic here. :headache: (too much going on! lol) and now it's packed!

Definitely let me know if you see any good resort stuff. Some DVC stuff would be cool. I need something new to collect :rotfl2:

Thanks for the info about segmenting the DDP. You'll have to let me know how that works out for you. I usually use the Tables in Wonderland card, but just getting the DDP for certain days might work out better for some trips.

I'm sure the NYE fireworks are great -- I'd love to see them sometime. I was there this past December a couple weeks before Christmas and the crowds were not bad but it was FREEZING!!! I literally dressed the same way as I would at home in December several of the days and even wore my Uggs :scared1: I'm hoping for some warmer weather this December :goodvibes

A NYC meet would be a lot of fun. And Earl of Sandwich is opening in NYC sometime this spring!

Can't wait to see pictures of you wearing your shirt with Minnie as the Statue of Liberty!

Have a fabulous time! Looking forward to following your adventure on Facebook! :thumbsup2 Safe travels :goodvibes
 
Smooth travels, no extra TSA checks and a quick loading and fast departing ME bus. :wizard:

:goodvibes
 
Brook.. I wrote to you on FB but I wanted to wish you, Joe, & Henry a great trip!!!!!! AGAIN! :lmao::lmao:

C-ya later! :goodvibes:goodvibes
 
I love the jittery excitement of the day before a trip. All the running around trying to get things ready and letting go of any real life worries and the sweet air of anticipation of the week (or two:thumbsup2) to come.

I won't be able to follow on FB, as I am another member of the FB resistance, but I am really looking forward to reading your report when you get back.

Have a magical time! :wizard:
 
I don't FB, so I will have to wait until you return to hear all about the fun however, I wanted to say one more time...

for all of you, have a wonderful trip!!!!
 
Brook, that video of Henry was DARLING! What a cutie pie. And I'm thinking you'd better spend plenty of time at the pool, in the sand and riding trains because those things seem to be high on Henry's list! You guys are going to have a blast! Have a wonderful, amazing trip and soak in every moment!:goodvibes

:laughing: Yes, those 3 things are very high on the list! Trains is surprising since we ride the trains here so much, but I guess they are a different type of train. That stuff matters to a little boy. ;)

Okay lady! Have a super duper fantastic time!! Take lots of wonderful Brook pictures, and make sure a ton of them are of the adorable Henry!! I can't wait to follow the trip on Facebook, too!

P.S. The Henry video is absolutely fabulous!!

Thank you!!!! I am excited to start sharing on Facebook!!!

Hope you guys have a great vacation!!!! Enjoy every minute of it!!! Say hello to Goofy & Mickey for me! ;)

I'll be watching for your FB updates!!! :cool1:

Thank you! We will say hello for you, I bet they are excited to see you in the fall! :goodvibes

Hasn't he grown up a ton??? I watched a video of him from last trip and I thought, "Ooooh, there's my baby!" He has since disappeared. His vocabulary has EXPLODED since then!

WOW i just read abot that today in an editting thingy today. i don't think i will be rideing that ever!!!!

Ya, I won't be ever riding again!!!! :sad2::sad2::sad2:

have fun can't wait to hear the trip report!!!:hyper::hyper: may the disney forces be with you!!

Thank you!!!

I ASKED for decaff, but between excitement and that coffee, sleep was minimal last night. :rolleyes:

Thank you!!!

Hope you guys have a fabulous, relaxing trip!!! Can't wait to hear about TWO weeks in Disney! So jealous!!!!

Have a fabulous time! Looking forward to following your adventure on Facebook! :thumbsup2 Safe travels :goodvibes

It was really cold some of the days last year over NYE too. December 30 and 31st were pretty decent, but otherwise we were FREEZING! It's still Disney, but man - it's not nearly as enjoyable, is it? :sad2: We like WARM Disney. :laughing: It makes me hesitate on booking another NYE trip, but I also want to go again then....

ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT EARL?!?!?! How did you find that out?!?! Oooooh, that is so dangerous! :woohoo:

Have a fabulous trip!! Will be following on FB!!

Thank you!!!

Smooth travels, no extra TSA checks and a quick loading and fast departing ME bus. :wizard:

I love that last day too, but that last night can be awful! :laughing: Sleep for a while, wake up - stare at the clock. Repeat. :headache:

I don't FB, so I will have to wait until you return to hear all about the fun however, I wanted to say one more time...

for all of you, have a wonderful trip!!!!

Thank you!!!! We have quite a few Facebook Holdouts here. :rotfl:

Have a safe trip. May Henry enjoy the sand and the train.

LOL - thank you!
 
Two Weeks from Today...March 12.

Today is The Day. The Day we leave Disney. :sad1: We never make any solid plans for the last day, and this trip is no exception. Our flight isn't until around 7:30, so ME will be around 4:30 - plenty of time to hit a park to say good-bye, or finish up anything else that we wanted to do.

I will most likely want to go to MK, gotta see that Castle one last time!

(not my pic)

But, let's not dwell on THAT day.

Let's dwell on TODAY!

Today is also departure day - departure from home going TO Disney! :banana:

In just 3 hours our car will be here to whisk us off to the airport.

Sometime tonight we just might be riding
1184665925_Tx34v-L.jpg

Yes, that's Soarin' projected on our wall at home. :laughing: We hooked up the laptop to a projector, watched a YouTube video of it while Joe acting as the ride with Henry-lifting him up and swaying him in time to the video.

That's an exciting Friday night in this household! :rotfl:

The weather is still looking fantastic - 70's and 80's, a chance of rain here and there. We are ready for heat, palm trees and Mickey Mouse!!!

Thank you everyone for planning along with me. Thank you for your tips, ideas, advice and friendship!

I'll be checking in here from time to time with some stories and pics! So "see" you then (except a few of you who I will really SEE! :hyper:), this gal is officially ON VACATION! :beach:::MickeyMo
 
How cool you have your very own version of Soarin' at home! What a cute idea!

Hope you have a super duper magical trip and enjoy every single minute of those two glorious weeks in Disney!! :goodvibes
 
have Fun Brook! I must be excited for your trip because I didn't sleep very well last night.
