Yeah, I was surprised. I thought everybody loved POP.

I know it has never appealed to me for some reason. . .

I would probably like the new theming they are talking about better.

We'll see. . .

Looks like a great plan! We are planning many of the same restaurants.

 

[rusafee1183]

Hey Renfroe! Long time no see!

Are you going back in May again??

Mari and I are, but all the MAYers have dispursed into different months now. But we still chat as you can see!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hi AlanR!

Have fun at the expo Sea.

Plans look great RF!

I called this weekend to change a few of my ADR's around and was surprised to get exactly what I wanted only a few months out! Hope that means it will be a slow time!!

 

[mari360]

AlanR - Hey long time no see..... Great to hear that you are going back in May... I am also going but this time it's just my DD and myself... a girls getaway....

Shelly - I hope it's slow when we go in Jan.... it probably will....I actually have to call to see if I can change my ADR at 1900 PF to Sun instead of wednesday....we'll see how lucky I get....

 

[CleKait]

Hey guys!

I know that it is early, but it is almost time to get my ADR's in order, so I have been working on my itinerary for our May trip

Did you watch the Pens/Wings game last night?

I'm so jealous you guys are all going on trips again so soon! My mom and I can't seem to find a time to go.

Good Morning all......

I'm busy doing laundry then off the TDS to do some xmas shopping... I have a 15%off coupon.... might as well get it started...

I started my Christmas shopping last week. I don't have a lot of people to buy for, but as soon as I get an idea I go and get it so I don't forget about it. Plus I do not like dealing with Christmas crowds at the stores.

Hey Mayers! Just popping in to say hi. I'm sitting on the MK parking lot tram right now. I'm going to take pics of all the Christmas decorations. I'm very much in the holiday mood already. I'll post pics tonight.

Hey Sulley! I can't wait to see the pictures, I'm so in a Christmas mood already too. My grandma got all her Christmas cds out the day after Halloween We were listening to them when I was in visiting her last Monday.


Jo - Sorry to hear the weirdo in your trip report, I do hope you continue it though!

 

[sulleyfan]

Hey Sulley! I can't wait to see the pictures, I'm so in a Christmas mood already too. My grandma got all her Christmas cds out the day after Halloween We were listening to them when I was in visiting her last Monday.

Hey Kait! I started listening to Christmas music on Oct 30 and it's now all I listen to in my car until probably about Jan 1-ish

MK looked really busy today, but wait times weren't bad at all. Out of everything I rode, the worst wait was Dumbo at 30 minutes at like 2:30 in the afternoon (not bad at all really for Dumbo ) I rode Aladdin's Magic Carpets (first time), PoTC, saw Country Bear Jamboree (for the first time), HM, all of Fantasyland except for Teacups, including Philharmagic and the Carousel twice, as well as TTA.

A side note, for those who need a Disney fix and love Philharmagic, get the Febreze Apple Spice & Delights room spray....It smells JUST like Philharmagic ....We have a can in every room of our house.

So I'll start with this pic since it's one of my favs

Here's a link to all the pics from today!

[mari360]

WOW sulley the pics look great...

Kait - I'm with you... I HATE the xmas crowds...

 

[mari360]

Morning all.....

 

[rusafee1183]

Did you watch the Pens/Wings game last night?

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH BABY!!!!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Morning MAYers!

Great pictures Sulley! Thanks for sharing!!

It was a long morning of meetings at the school for me this morning. And it's time for me to organize and call volunteers for Santa's Workshop already!

I have to take DS7 to the pediatric ophthalmologist this afternoon. He failed his eye exam at his 7 year check-up last month.

 

[alan_renfroe]

Hey Renfroe! Long time no see!

Are you going back in May again??

Mari and I are, but all the MAYers have dispursed into different months now. But we still chat as you can see!

Oh YEAH! The Renfroes are going back in May '09! I am about 95% sure we will be at the POP from May 15-22. You gotta love this "Buy 4, Get 3 Free" deal! Check out my pre-trip report in my signature.

Hi AlanR!

Have fun at the expo Sea.

Plans look great RF!

I called this weekend to change a few of my ADR's around and was surprised to get exactly what I wanted only a few months out! Hope that means it will be a slow time!!

Hi Momof2Disneyboys!! Hope all is well with you. Good news about being able to move your ADRs aroudn and still get everything you want!

AlanR - Hey long time no see..... Great to hear that you are going back in May... I am also going but this time it's just my DD and myself... a girls getaway....

Shelly - I hope it's slow when we go in Jan.... it probably will....I actually have to call to see if I can change my ADR at 1900 PF to Sun instead of wednesday....we'll see how lucky I get....

Hey Mari! Yes, we are planning another trip for May 15-22. We just had SOOO much fun this past May, and as everyone says...once you are a MAYer, you never go back!

Congrats on your girls getaway! That sounds great!

Hey Sulley! I tried to add you as friend. Not sure if I did it right. I am trying to figure this facebook and MySpace stuff out as ds13 is wanting to do it and I want to feel comfortable with it before I OK it. Jo's scare with the weirdo (even though I didn't see it) has me wondering.

Morning MAYers!

Great pictures Sulley! Thanks for sharing!!

It was a long morning of meetings at the school for me this morning. And it's time for me to organize and call volunteers for Santa's Workshop already!

I have to take DS7 to the pediatric ophthalmologist this afternoon. He failed his eye exam at his 7 year check-up last month.

I think dd was in 3rd grade when she got glasses. She failed the school eye exam. She just thought because she sat in the back was the reason why she couldn't see the board. Poor thing. She had never complained once.

We got contacts this summer and it has made a HUGE difference for her.

Oh YEAH! The Renfroes are going back in May '09! I am about 95% sure we will be at the POP from May 15-22. You gotta love this "Buy 4, Get 3 Free" deal! Check out my pre-trip report in my signature.

We love Pop! Let me know if I can be of help with your trip!

Hi Mari, RF, Katie, Kait, Jo and Sea and all the other MAYers out there!!!!!

Salute!

 

[Katiebell]

Hi guys!

RF and Kait, I missed the game...sounds like the Pens won? I'll have to tell Brrt, and we'll get on the ball to check out the hockey schedule...and RF, your plans look great!

Hey Sea, good luck at the Expo. We leave in 4 weeks!!! Man oh man I need some pixiedust...

Sulley, I just loved your Christmas decoration pics The castle looks so magical with all of the icicle lights. I can't wait to see what DL looks like for the holiday...I love Christmas music too. What are your favorite CDs? I really like most of my Mannheim Steamroller, but didn't like the one they released last year so much. And I like a lot of the old standards...like Bing's White Christmas.

AlanR, that's cool that you guys are heading back in May. The deal is so tempting, but we have to pass on it this time...need to catch up on some bills. But we've got a short DL trip planned in a month

Shelly, good luck at the opthamologist...they found out my eyes were really bad when I TRIED to play softball, , probably about 3rd grade...and thanks for the info about the Pop. We liked it just fine, but I'd love an animation theme. I thought the 50's-80's was a great idea, but I really wondered if the Legendary years 00-40's would really get much interest.

Mari, I can't wait to see pics of your trip with your DD...you guys are going to have so much fun...

Jo, I gotta sit down with a huge bowl of popcorn and get caught up on your TR!
To any other Mayers lurking around OK...back to work, lunch is almost over...
