MLM5.. aka Judy

I love spending time with all of you but meeting her dad made this trip super special for me :)

That was one of highlights of my trip.. I'll never forget the mans face on the covered bridge when I ask him if we were near a walmart :)

I agree! I was skeptical until we were gifted annual passes and I can tell you it's totally worth it!

We are going to be there starting the 4 th of October for a week

I have felt the sting of the Elsa/Anna shortage.. (mom is personally a Olaf fan) This is Isabella's (4) first real OMG mom I need this thing and no where to be found.. or should I say no where to be found for a reasonable price, the swimsuit and cover up are going for over $100 on amazon and even more on Ebay.. sorry baby girl, not happening. I found some cute DIY costume ideas on Pinterest, she'll be rocking one of those for her birthday and probably the October trip, I will attempt to use one of our fast pass things for the meet and greet otherwise she wont be meeting them..

Hey, that's exactly like my little cracker box :) I take the back cushions off the sofa and put a toddler bed rail on it, perfect for my 5 year old :)

Love that face :heart:

yes, it was booked in December, I did ask about transferring a few weeks ago when I knew the date for booking dining was coming and was told the same thing, must be done within 30 days of original booking. I will keep in mind your insomnia Jason and will never do this alone again!

Jason, I kick myself in the arse daily for not using you, specifially now, you just wasnt there in the wee hours of the morning when Dave said booking and I didnt waste a second before taking his money...lol my lack of patience is often my downfall, I'd love ANY day during the week of 10/6 - 10/10 for a party of 7.. still no luck trying to get the darn thing booked

Sweet GAWD!! yesterday was our 180 day mark for BOG and same thing here.. not able to book anything .. I guess I'll have to sucumb to the phone method but I dont have hight hopes that we are going to get in

i just booked Cat 2 for the saturday we are arriving the 6:15 show... we've never been so I'm sooooooooooooooo excited :banana:

Universal parking is $16 to $22.. that caught me off guard and SMB.. So I guess in comparison, Disney isn't that bad.

the Armada sits outside, my garage is also full of man crap (most of which is mine) :)

I assure you life will never be the same :heart:

yes, In fact I "might" have gotten out of my chair and did a little happy dance when I found out about it.. then sulked a bit when I saw the opening date.... I don't know what happened to my Irish luck... but it sure doesn't work for this girl..

You are correct! However it opens 1 week AFTER we leave.. Typical Judy luck. :)

LOL, you must have missed it Dave as I'm sure probably most of the South and a few Northerner's heard my grown, our trip has taken on a little twist.. I have a friend with a son that is 11, Anthony is an only child who has been raised by his father completely on his own his whole life.. this is a hard task as anyone can imagine.. so Anthony is coming to stay with my family for a little while.. this child needs a little love.. my family isn't rich, Lord knows we have our own issues, but love isn't something we are short on.. the kids and I discussed it and it was a unanimous vote. Sometimes

Thank you all so very much for all the input, I have turned this up side down and round and round trying to make the best decision and I have decided that even though my wallet will scream in pain, we are going to stay on site. I have to keep reminding myself that I have a mission on this trip so it needs to be special, I want them to feel like the rock stars that they are :heart: I'll be booking all of this tomorrow so prayers that I dont stroke out and die when I enter the card number are appreciated.. :pope: Fiends truely are the best!! :heartsmiley:

Definatley going to play around with it, the hotel isnt that important to me as long as it's clean and in a safe place and relatively close to everything

I didn't think of Discovery Cove in that perspective TCD, I didnt realize that you also get the Sea World pass.. I need to reconsider that. I initially wanted to do that but it was almost $312 dollars a person so I was immediatley turned off but you've got me thinking about it again.. Does Aquatica come with that as well? I'm thinking on our short day maybe a water park til around 4 and then off to the airport. the cost of the onsite hotels at universal was a bit much when I compared offsite, is the front of the line perk the same as the pass mentioned on the website that you can buy in a

March 26th to the 29th, my three oldest children and I will be flying to Orlando for a few days of bonding and to just to generally spend some quality time with each other. We have had a rough year, if any of you have teenagers you understand some, if you have a troubled teen in your life, you understand even better. Relationships have been strained between my oldest children and we have worked really hard to bring that back together, so this isnt just another trip, this is different. They have never been to Universal Studios so we want to do that for sure, I haven't been in over 20 years s

I worked in Fairbanks for a couple of years, I can tell you there is nothing like Alaska, it's something you will remember for a life time. I HIGHLY recommend that you make the trip down to Valdez and go Halibut fishing, of all my travels, that was absolutely the most beautiful place I have ever been. To touch a peice of ice that is over a million years old brings a new perspective on life. It's the only place I've ever been where the wildlife (to include whales) would come so close. I'd say if you do decide to do the camp/rv thing stay in commericalized areas. People do not realize how d

Well ladies I have good news and bad news, the Good news is we acquired a new contract at work so I'll be gainfully employed for a solid 2 years.. The bad news is I'll be spending the first two weeks in June in Prague. For those of you that were interested I hope someone takes the lead and you guys have a fabulous time! I will in the meantime be brushing up on my Russian .. Boo

so how far in advance of your trip do they generally ship the MB's?

Ok girls, let's get this thing moving.. don't make me bring out my "crazy eyes" :clint:
