I know that Robin Williams IS the genie to us all, but as a 90's kid I've yet to be disappointed by anything Will Smith has been in.
Not something that has much to do with me, buuuut any new resorts means new dining!

We had a lot of fun, and since our Disney trips never seem to coincide, I see more shopping trips in our future either at Crossgates or Woodbury!
Both shirts you got are adorable, you HAD to get them!Ariane was a bad influence on me because I didn't intend to buy anymore shirts for the trip But then I saw this:
And like I said, people would have felt bad for the young girl whose mom made them match that dayWe also took a selfie to commemorate our Dismeet. If I had only known what Ariane was wearing we could've shown up to the mall in matching shirts

So happy you've decided to try it and I hope you guys love it as much as we do.Citricos-5:40 am
And glad you told me about this yesterday, definitely getting a shirt or twoDid anyone see these that are coming out August 12th (in stores and on the app)? I need one!
Well now Woodbury is only 30 minutes from me, so if you do ever make the long trek there definitely let me know!I also love Woodbury...if only it wasn't like a 6 hour drive lol.
I think we'll have no problem finding a spot to watch the fireworks from, and most the dessert parties don't provide Josh with many choices so he never gets too excited for them.
I added Citricos back on when I heard about the 30% off for AP holders since we only planned to do one signature at first, but at this price I think it's a pretty good deal.

And as most of you know this weekend I got to meet up with @ariane37!

To think 2 years ago I thought we were going on a "once in a lifetime" trip, and now here we are heading on our 5th trip
I really wanted to do breakfast here, but I could only get lunch with our big group. I want the nutella sauce and the sticky bun!I ultimately decided to book the ETTB package, because I was thinking of trying GG anyway. Breakfast fit best into our plans, and I was happy with the time they gave us.
These make me sad Flights seemed to be really high for some reason, so no trip.Did anyone see these that are coming out August 12th (in stores and on the app)? I need one!
I have finally been convinced to go to The Melting Pot. You're probably thinking, who needs convincing for cheese and chocolate... It's just never been on my radar, but your pictures have done it.We had a delightful lunch at The Melting Pot. So here's some food pictures coming your way!
I love them! I stopped at Walmart, of all places, for something... and ended up with 4 Disney shirts. Two really cute ones (Walmart, who knew? ) and two funny ones for work. I don't need any other shirts either, but I can't help it!Ariane was a bad influence on me because I didn't intend to buy anymore shirts for the trip But then I saw this:
And finally I found this picture the other day! These are my tickets from our first trip 2 years ago, I know I bought them in Feb 2015, but the date I took the picture of them was about 2 years ago today. To think 2 years ago I thought we were going on a "once in a lifetime" trip, and now here we are heading on our 5th trip
I'm trying to tell myself that going to F&G next year is crazy, because our APs expire in February and we're going to Cali and DL in April... and Zack won't have much vacation time, and 2-3 day tickets are expensive... but I want to go soooo bad!Our Ap's expire after our next trip, but I have a feeling they won't stay expired for long. We're definitely going back next year
I have a spreadsheet to track my own vacation, to make sure I'm good for what I want to do. I added Zack to it. I keep playing around with it, but for some reason no more vacation time magically appears on his tab...I have officially run Josh down on vacation time this year
Omg yes I looked at 1 day parkhoppers if we did a weekend one and I was like at the price! We've had Aps for the last 4 trips and haven't had to think about ticket prices, but I actually think the Aps are a better deal at this point. 1 day was like $350 for 2 of us! (Not that any of those trips are happening due to airfare costs but we wouldn't be buying tickets if we did). We kept our Universal APs on auto renew because they're a bit cheaper and we pay monthly so it doesn't seem like so much so theoretically if airfare was reasonable we could go to USO anytime even if we couldn't go to WDW. I'm always struggling with "it's a bad idea, but I really want to" I fear I may too often side with the bad idea.
Yeah, all of the weekends I've looked at are high enough it makes it hard to justify going when our trip is so soon... lol. I really want to go in Dec and see the Christmas decorations too... it might be feasible... But planning F&G makes me feel guilty. I talk about this some on the debt dumping thread on the budget board, but we live with Zack's parents right now. So we're lucky we aren't paying the sky-high rent costs out here, and it's allowed us to save up cash for everything next month, but we've also been paying down our student loans aggressively. But with the stuff planned next year already, and the plan to move out soon.. I'm not sure what our new budget will be like so planning a trip where we have to buy tickets *gasp! the horror!*Flights have been so crazy high lately! There had been some weekend trips or things I wanted to plan and so far everything except the 2 longer trips we go on a year has been shelved for now.
We also got our ME tags this weekend, but it looks like for some reason the airline/flight info wasn't filled out. I know I filled it out at some point, but I did also change our reservation so maybe that's why it's not in there. If I call and give them the info do they send out new tags or does it not really matter?
Weird... we got our ME tags last week and the flight info for our flight to Orlando says no flight information provided but I know I gave it to them. It says to call if the information isn't correct or doesn't appear but I don't think it matters as far as the tags go as long as it has the correct resort on it.
since those posts were completely lost in the Disboards Photobucket Disaster of 2017
But I just finished picking everything out last night (I think I probably should go through them one more time), and I haven't had time to take any pictures. So that will be next week's post!
I don't want anyone to come in if we're not home, but they are allowed to as long as they give notice and come in with an employee of the complex. Which normally would make me feel better, but that employee is the same maintenance man who hit my car, lied about it, and doesn't seem to like me for no reason.
I always feel like we don't have enough ADRs/variety, but then I feel like we have too many or too many that serve similar types of food. #TheDisneyStruggle
Earlier this week I got my final addition to "the tower of Pua"
That little Pua Tsum Tsum is just so cute
I also got her something else that I was really excited about.
And it was buy 1 get 1, so I had to get this one too for Universal:

My family thinks it's silly to worry about anything being stolen or damaged, but I'd rather one of us is here when it happens.

I didn't even know we had an Emack and Bolio's nearby.
here's Josh and his brother in Disney back in the mid 90's
Ah yes this must be the Disney demon?
We also got our ME tags this weekend
Ugh I was so far behind, but just chiming in to say we will be there Sept 2-9, so our trips overlap a bit! And also to say that in regards to the Minnie Vans, I think they're great for a family like mine, who has 2 kids in car seats! Ubers and taxis are never an option for us, because you can't find one that has 2 car seats! I doubt we will even end up needing a Minnie Van, but it is nice to know the option is there!
