Tabs are done! WOOHOO!

This may be a bigger deal to me than it is to you but all of my pages have working tabs now. Those are the dated    boxes at the top that take you to the page that I am designing for each day of our upcoming trip. It will give a preview of our day now and serve as a travel log when we return. I'm not sure if I'll manage to add to them while we're there.
Anyway, you can go from any of the pages, including this one, and get to any of the others now.
I still can't promise there is a lot of content on the pages yet. Designing the pages and tabs took some time. But as I do my planning I'll put more on. 6/29/11 has quite a bit on it already.
I'd love some feedback on what you see so far!

Mickey Mania!!!

Yes, I know- it's been a while since I've posted here. The site is under-construction and my house is being deconstructed during a major remodeling project so things are crazy here! Don't worry, It's still been me and Mickey every day.

There was the early March pin episode where after checking every email address Jim or I have, I finally called Disney and had a very nice CM tell me that no, I did not have a pin. I am holding out hope for a public code. Feel free to cross your fingers for me!

Then there was a simple trip to a local St Vincent de Paul. They had a 1/2 price sale. I found some great Disney fabric and a Halloween candy dish.

Last week my favorite Disney travel group and web group The Magic for Less Travel/ The Mouse for Less were having a celebration. They had several contests. There were photo contests, blog contests, scavenger hunt trivia, cruise contests, and more. I got the fabulous new that I was a winner of the blog contest and the trivia. I will post my Blog on my MFL blog page here. I am getting some amazing prizes that I'll show off when they arrive. Thanks everyone at MFL/MFLT!

Today was great too. I was able to trade enough old books on Amazon to pay for my Annual Pass. That's $475(about)! I was excited. I also got a great new Mickey notebook. I love my notebooks and this one is perfect.

Oh, I almost forgot. My camera is here too. We got a great deal on it and I LOVE it. Hopefully by the end of June I'll have it all figured out.

Hope that catches you up some. I'll try to be back soon.

Aaron Rodgers Was MVP of Super Bowl 35.... Guess Where He Went Today!!!

Last night I watched an amazing football game. Yes, that's right. I am a Cheesehead. I believed Lombardi would return to the Frozen Tundra. I am a Packer Fan.
It was a great night to be a Packer Fan (if you had some Tums to pop after every injury) and as we reached the final minutes of the 4th quarter there was just one thing I was waiting to hear.

Today it was a little rainy but in the high 70's when Aaron dropped by Magic Kingdom. I wasn't there. Twitter and YouTube helped me feel like I was. Now you too can enjoy:

Nice wheels...

Two mice bring the cheese...

This is too cool. Wish I had been there!!!

Yet another milestone...

That's what my countdown marker says today! One hundred and fifty days until I get to hang with Mickey. That's big news around here (okay maybe only with me.) It did inspire Jim to put an extra chunk of money in our Smarty Pig account when I told him we had 107 days until our trip needed to be paid in full.

I have loads of planning to do. I still am working on MFL blogs right now but you should also see some work that I've done here on the sight. I promise to try and get more caught up soon.

Go read this OTHER blog...

Please go read this blog. It really is that good. It's called "Everything I Need to Know in Life I Learned From Disney"

I'll be back really soon!

Lots Going on Here

The site is kind of a work in progress right now. I am adding a page for each day of our trip. That way I can add details about each day before we go. also be able to write about each day in detail when we get back. I wasn't sure how I was going to do it but I think I finally figured this out. It's a bit labor intensive but I'll get it done. I just wanted you to know it's a mess right now but feel free to look around. You get to the different pages by using the date tabs at the top of the pages. I don't have them all put in yet.


I also made an exciting change to our dining plans on July 4th. When we eat lunch at the Brown Derby we will be dining with a Disney Imagineer! Up to 10 Guests join in stimulating discussion with one of the incredibly creative artists who bring the magic of Disney to Walt Disney World Resort attractions and entertainment. Feast on a 4-course meal and will receive a souvenir plate designed exclusively for this experience that can be personalized by the Imagineer! (That last part is from the Disney website!) It sounded unique to me and it's part of our dining plan :)


OK I have lots to do so I have to get back at it!

Moving Forward

Since my big day on New Year's Eve I've kind of been spinning my wheels.  I have a lot of loose ends I'm trying to keep an eye on. .The reservations that haven't been made are too early for Disney's system but that doesn't mean they aren't haunting me a bit. I'll be happier once they are all made, so I keep checking the computer.

I cleaned up the site a bit. it still may be a little excessive but I like it and I guess it's my blog. I just tried to streamline some things and organize things in a way that made sense.

As I continue to heal I have some plans going on behind the scenes that could be VERY Disney related in my future. I have to keep looking into those possibilities but it should be very positive news!

As for trip planning my next step is to flesh out each day now that our dinner reservations are set. It won't be so strict that we have to be at such and such a place at this exact time but it will provide a touring plan to make sure we're efficient and don't miss anything. I really want to take it all in this trip! It's the most fun working I ever have.

I'm also still blogging for the Mouse for Less. I have a series planned where I am going to do the ABCs of each of the four parks. I know what I'm writing about. Now I just need to get going and get it done! Typing is still a struggle so I do everything longhand then type in small spurts.

Well, that's about it for now. I have lots to share in my head but until it's confirmed, I'll keep you guessing!
