[Dizneyblonde]

Claire hunny we have to draw a line under what has happened and enjoy the welcome we all have here.

This place has been fantastic from the start as i knew it would because of the people who are here.Some of whom i have i have considered friends for years.

It will all seem a little strange for a while as none of us get on with change but you will soon feel at home and forget there are other places to post!

Please post your pre trippie as it is so infectious and i know everyone here will love it.

You are only a week away from the Disney magic you have been planning for for so long so put that smile back on your face and accept some of my dizziness to get you back in the mood!
I'd swing you round the dancefloor but my back isn't up to it.:D

At the end of the day the people that matter know how it really is and that's all that counts.Whatever anyone else thinks or says is not important so don't let it spoil your holiday build up.

You, me and Jodie have become so close and such good friends over the last few months we can get through this and in a few weeks we won't even care.
I think we need to plan another Kitchen Sink weekend!

[PsychoAlice]

Man I remember when I only had a week left....anyone have a flux capasitor? Mines on back order...something about plutos stock running low...I dunno...

[mrsc]

1week to go

So, I find myself 1 week before I return to Disney catapulted to a new site…I really don’t want to go into detail on this, as we all are probably either none the wiser, or sick of it.
I am however reserved as I don’t really cope with change at all!!!!
But as I have visited this forum before and posted I know you are all really welcoming and I look forward to sharing this up and coming trip with you all, and for some that have been following elsewhere…this is all be it a brief summary of the past year!!!

I first visited Disney with my wonderful husband in 2006, there is a story to this, I shall se if I can extract it from somewhere……..


Way way way back when, the wonderful fantastic husband said “one day” ( which seems to be his favourite saying)
That he would love to take us to Disney.
He had been before and he knew 100% that me and the kids would absolutely love it, But he had always stated that they needed to be old enough to enjoy it and remember it, as it would be the trip of a lifetime, things we thought we could only dream off. And things we would remember forever and ever.

He wasn’t wrong there at all!!!!!!!!

Well…they reached the grand old age of “old enough” in 2006,
Which made them 10 11 and 12……yes I really did have them that close together.!!
And we did some serious umming and arghing about booking



on all of our other holidays we had gone in big groups with most of my family and close family friends, sometimes there would be 20 plus of us.
So I told them all we wouldn’t be doing the normal big family holiday this year as we were of to Disney, and did anyone care to join us?

I have 2 sisters and 1 had already been to Disney many moons ago and really didn’t enjoy it so said no, (???)

The other sister asked when we were thinking of going as she works in a school and would need to go in half time.

Well I had found sites that had fab info on “ all there is to know about Disney” and then some, me and dh looked into possible times to go and we liked the idea for nov /dec time as it looked a quiet time and the price was really good.

so big sister applied for time off to join us and was refused.
We priced up going In holiday times but the price was almost doubled so we apologised to big sis and went ahead and booked. This was to be our first holiday as a family of 5.



as you can imagine we had an absolutely amazing time!!!
And on our last evening, whilst watching wishes for the 4th time with tears streaming down my face I made a promise to the children that we would be back……

Back home we discussed when we would return, and 2008 seemed sensible on the wallet and I was adamant I dint want to go anywhere if it meant that it took longer to get back to Disney. So we agreed to go back in 2008
As the kids were at ages where schooling would be an issue we knew we would have to take them during school holidays….

over a cuppa one day I mentioned to my sister that we were hoping to return in 2008, She asked what time of year we would be going and I quickly remembered…how could I forget…….that she had originally wanted to come with us!!!!!!!!!
I told her the school holidays and she suddenly started wearing a huge grin and said “can we come?”

We discussed dates and oct half term looked good for us all, as long as the school chucked in a few inset days and that my ds boss would allow her 2 days leave………..

Well a week later she was back to me with time off and we set about booking it up!!!!




And So We Are:

Me Claire 34 Chief Planner Organiser. 2nd trip to Disney
Dh john 43 Man With The Money, Coaster Freak. 3rd trip
Dd14 Hannah Coaster Freak. 2nd trip
Ds13 Ashley Typical Teen Boy. 2nd trip
Dd11 Danielle Princess Coaster Freak. 2nd trip
Bs Jo 47 Refusing To Go On Any Thing!!
Bil Jim Up For Anything
Dn Josh 10 Most Looking Forward To Tot .11 while we are away!

When me and Jo had decided to arrange this holiday we decided to not tell my kids that the others were coming!!
And so the wind ups started, and they kept asking for them to “please come it is amazing in Disney!!”
Around December of 2007 I finally gave in and told my 3 who were, as expected really excited to go with auntie Jo, Jim and josh, so I said to tell my sister Jo to tell her son Josh.

Then the wind ups turned on me.

As josh would turn 11 while we were away, she asked him if he would like as a birthday treat to spent it in Disney world, josh was keen to learn to race cars and was able to race when he is 11, so he was hoping to have his first racing car, a mini for his eleventh birthday, so said no thanks!!!
And he was adamant.
My heart sank.
I had to tell my kids that Josh didn’t want to go.
Many begging weeks passed and still the same answer.

Me and Jo went ahead and booked and hoped he would accept it without to much disappointment but we still thought it was best not to tell him that we had booked.


A bit of excitement was lost when we booked as I knew there was a chance that Josh wouldn’t be happy.

So we booked , 2 weeks at pop century
Disney 7 day tickets
5 park flexi plus tickets
we were all booked with travel city direct. we had travelled with them before so didn’t see a problem going with them again.

(how wrong was i!!!!!!)

Christmas came and went and still Josh had no idea.
Danielle asked “when are you gonna tell him?”
So my sister decided to have a chat with her son…………….

Well, Jo normally pops round to me for a cuppa and a gossip at the weekend and turned up one day with josh, we were all sat chatting in front of the box when Josh starts pulling out all the park maps from under his top and laying them out on the floor,
we all look on in silence,
when he looks up he has a huge smile on his face and we realise he knows about coming and is more than happy too!!
We all jumped around and chatted for the rest of the day about the trip.

I got out all the paperwork from tcd to show everyone all our names, to prove we were all going!!!

At some point my sister told me that josh at first thought it was just him coming along with me and my family, he was more than happy to leave his mum at home!!

And so I set about my “research” and “planning”



And how things have changed!!!!!!!

Here is more of what I wrote almost a year ago…and I will add pics soon to give you a break from the reading



And so the planning starts with me writing down all the days we are there,
and all the parks we have to choose from.
I do this numerous times and get a massive kick out of reorganising and shuffling!!!
I do realise how sad I am but hey , im not hurting anyone,

We are in florida from 25 oct to 8 nov.
The Halloween celebrations and parties are on whilst we are there but we have agreed not to do them, I would love to do Disneys scary party but paying out for the 5 of us I cant justify. Disappointed but I guess I can work on the dh!!!

We did mickeys xmas party in 06 and although it was brilliant it was crowded and I felt not really worth the extra dollars I did get some amazing pics though and loved the parade and shows.
I have heard that the kids can do trick or treat in dtd so we are gonna try that out for Halloween.

On 5 nov I thought we could watch illuminations as way of remembering bonfire celebrations.

On our last trip we had a spare day to go back to our fav disney park, after lengthy discussions we couldn’t agree on a favourite so decided to try and visit all 4 and get photopass pics in front of all the park icons. This was superb and we were all on a high, it was a great way to end the holiday and my 3 kids have said we have to do it again this year. So this will be done on our last full day in florida.


Danielle treated herself to bbb on the day we flew home so came home looking like a princess this is to be repeated again too!!

I have obviously told any one who has ears that I am going back to Disney and was made up to hear that my cousin is going to be there while we are!!! Her dates start a few days before us but we are at the moment trying to organise 1 or 2 days together.

I am finding it hard work trying to plan this trip as I have told amazing stories of florida but I have to please 8 not 5 this time and while I am really close with my sis it still makes me worry.

Oh my days……sounds like I have a real plan coming together doesn’t it……..i was loving all the planning and I was super super organised or so I thought!!!!

I made epcot passports,
And dollar envelopes for all 4 children….these have changed from the original ones that I had planned, the printer just couldn’t take the ink battering !!!

On with more of my plans…





i have, i think,finalised our itinary, i am just running it by everybody who are just nodding saying whatever.... do they not know i am trying to make this holiday amazing!!!
any way, i have worked it out so we have a free day,fingers crossed i can persuade the adults for a visit to some dolphin place!!!!!!


if the plans are all ok then i am making some itinary cards for each day we are there, I am sure these ideas have been shared amongst a lot of us by now!!
And i have found a countdown paper chain, so I am looking forward to printing this out and starting to take off the links.


Last week I suggested to the “others” that they should look into this holiday and see if they have any things that they would like to try……
I felt I didn’t want to be too bossy so I felt I really should give them chance for some input….. I gave them 1 week to get back to me.
Ok secretly I just wanted them to say they were fine with all my plans,
So a week has passed , and they have ideas of there own!!!!
How dare they!!!!
Well, there choice is for a trip to a car speedway thingy, which is really not my thing at all… however the person who has requested this is more than happy to go alone, so no big panic but I will feel bad waving him of for the day alone.so for the best part of today I have been looking into this for him.


I have given “others” the task of finding an overnight hotel with parking for the night before the flight.
I have made it perfectly clear that I am more than happy to stay at the Gatwick Hilton!!!

Also as dd was home ill today i called disney and booked her bbb, we went for the coach package and it is $49.95.
in 06 it was only $30.00!!
it made her feel better!!
How strange it is to look back at all of this!!!!
Hope it isn’t dragging on too much

Well.. After reading through what I had put I thought what the heck…..lets just say it how it is now!!!!!!


i had a fantastic amazing itinerary arranged and had made all adrs and booked la nouba and was happily taking off each link to the countdown chain when the devastating news of xl was upon us.

That day was awful…many phone calls were made to my dearest Disney friends…Teresa and Jodie.

I don’t remember much about that day, just that we spent about 4 hours in a travel agent and had rebooked a completely different holiday and I now owe my sister quite a bit of money…we were still going but I felt like I had had the wind knocked out of me.

And so my plans had to be completely changed…..

And we are off next week, this time next week I shall be in the skys……


I really don’t cope with change so my title is reflecting this……

Change of site and change of holiday!!!
I say this with a smile on my face!!!!

Claire,

Thankyou so much for been supportive to me and taking this change in forums on the chin.

Remember when me you and Teresa started talking and we all just knew we would get along like a house of fire? You took a risk then and it paid off. This is just like that, you've had a shock because some people were very nasty about me and as my friend you took that badly. I don't want you to be going on your own holiday worrying about this change. Please? Now get on with your packing and remember, we want suitcase pictures and a flip-flop count!

:hug2:

I've even typed it in pink just for you! :p

i would looovve them..... not sure how many treats i am allowed at the moment cos i had ear ache :shocked025::shocked025:

[Watchinherskip]

Claire, I must admit, I really didn't get the gist of the background information, and it really is none of my business. And not important. What is important is that you have a great trip planned and a lot of folks here that would love to hear the TR! Kudos for your Pre trip report. I got really into it. Man I need to get back again!

[mrsc]

just to add to the confusion i am getting some of my trippie and showing you guys some of what has already happened but as you read it you will realise that i said it in blog fashion, which makes no sense....

god i hope you follow what i am saying...... teresa and jodie will know what i mean :gy:


hi all,

well i am bouncing off the walls today...in 2 weeks time i shall be travelling to gatwick...woo hoo!!!!!

confused ? it is now 1 week not 2!!!!:oops:

the 8 of us have just had a little gathering to finalise some things.......as if it needed it, i have everything under control!!!

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/004-1.jpg

apart from what time we all leave next wednesday and where we stop for tea...so that was the topic of conversation....


well, first things first was josh tshirt...so i got the iron out and made myself busy, trying my hardest not to burn the tshirt...

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/008-1.jpg

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/009-1.jpg


all 4 kids are so so so excited, i asked them all for a picture toether.....and it took ages to get a half decent one...not that i am a perfectionist but i at least wanted them to be facing the camera!!!

it was a giggle to try and get this shot.

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/018-1.jpg




and so the adults made a decision without me there....how dare they.....i needed to know details...what were the plands for the day???

what time do we leave??

where are we having tea??

danni asked if she had to go to school..........

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/011-1.jpg


aunty jo said we all had to go to school...which we were all more than happy to do........

jo works in a school so we all found it real silly!!!!


time flew by and we all said goodbye with spirits really high...i hope its a sign of things to come....

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/019-1.jpg

[Jodie]

If you thought getting that one shot of the kids was a pain wait until your adding a character, four adults and a photopass photographer into the mix!

[mrsc]

this is me and my sister...

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/claireemmalouis/o8%20planning/BIMSBDAY009.jpg


my sister is still unsure if she is looking forward to going!!!!

lets hope we she enjoys it when she gets there........

i am off to hunt for some more pics as i have some of what i have been making for the trip.....

Hey Claire, so glad you posted your trip report on here. It obviously meant a lot to you to start one in the first place so its not right that you stop because of a few narrow-minded, vindictive people. And seeing how everyone has responded to your report over here, it seems like its in the perfect place (and you can include **** in your reports too... how cool) :p015:

The first thing I picked up on was your kids ages, and as I thought about it and carried on reading you made the exact comment I was thinking, I had to laugh out loud, even though my cats looked at me like I was rather odd :gy:

I'm so excited for you, all your plans sound great. And I'm so glad your going to watch La Nouba, it is so, so good. I'm also rather jealous as next week you will be there, and I will still be here... minus the hangover. And the All Star's are great, I bet your kids are super excited (BTW your kids are gorgeous and I love your youngest DD's curly hair, its lovely).

Anyway can't wait to hear more, and I really hope you all have an amazing time :hug2:

Oh I was getting so excited reading this thread and finding that the three musketeers were all over here. I just have to get used to all the new usernames (although Jodies is quite easy to remember :yes:). I thought it was lovely the way you all made friends and supported each other. When I got to the end, I found what had happened to Claire (well done Keith by the way for dealing so promptly)

I hope I haven't missed the chance to wish Claire a happy holiday. Don't let nastiness spoil your fun on here, I am sure you would be greatly missed by all your friends. :hug2:

*UPDATE*

The oldest of Claires kids is currently trying to pack six pairs of shoes in her case, the youngest kid is making her explain and justify why so many shoes are required, Claire says HELP!

What do I know, I took 12 pairs of flip flops!

[Dizneyblonde]

A great Aunty Jodie you turned out to be :lol:

I say take 3 and buy more there!!!

[Jodie]

A great Aunty Jodie you turned out to be :lol:

I say take 3 and buy more there!!!

But that means wasting time on shopping when you could be having a good time

[Dizneyblonde]

But that means wasting time on shopping when you could be having a good time

But Hannah loves shopping!!!

Ok take all 6 and still buy more :yes:

[Ariel2008]

But Hannah loves shopping!!!

Ok take all 6 and still buy more :yes:

Sounds like a good idea to me... a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes ;)

[Ariel2008]

Hope you have a safe flight Claire and you and your family have an absolutely amazing time. xxx

[mInNiE]

Ok take all 6 and still buy more :yes:

That would be my plan :lol:

Hope you managed to close the cases in the end last night!! Have loads of fun, we'll miss you here!!!!!!

With or without six pairs of shoes for Hannah?!

[coombsyl]

Ooh, they are on their way - how exciting. Only six pairs of shoes? How can she survivie - shoe shopping is a must for any girl (and even Jodie can't argue with that on account of the twelve pairs she took!!) ;)

[Jodie]

[Dizneyblonde]

I loved writing my pre-trippie, even before I posted it anywhere I started writing it an updating in word everytime I did something, amended something or even just thought something!

'Hi! Just pullin into BG. Not my fav park. Had lap top bag stolen from room, not happy. Disney not helpful. Got loads of photo pass pics. Hope you all good. x'

Doesn't clarify if her laptop was in the bag or not, hope it wasn't. A pity Disney don't seem to have helped but without the full tale we don't know what happened. I think it's put a dampner on her holiday though. Her text seemed a bit less upbeat than the others but as she's at her least favourite park and almost at the end of her holiday I guess that could be the reason for less bounce from her.

[Disneybumble]

That's terrible news Jodie. Fingers crossed it's not her laptop as well.

[Chaffey]

OMG! really hope it's only the bag and nothing else, can't believe she is nearing the end of her holiday, how time flies when you're having fun:yes:

[caz1712]

Oh no I really hope it wasn't her laptop in the bag as well! NOt good that Disney not been helpful either. Will just have to wait until she home to here the full story I suppose!

Chin up Claire and hope the last few days of your holiday are extra special!

xxx

[mInNiE]

Just to let you all know.. I also text Claire earlier today to see how she was enjoying! The election got me thinking about them all, I didn't know about the laptop situation until now... she text me back saying....

In b g today. Feelin tired now. We have all had a great time! Lookin forward to doin all 4 parks tomo x

Hope the laptop thing was just the bag, and not the actual laptop aswell! Sure we'll hear about it soon! Looking forward to hearing all her stories too! :p015:

[Ariel2008]

Hello all, Im back and just catching up with Claire's report. Glad to see she is having a great time and great to see she is updating us with texts (thanks for posting them guys :hug2:).

Thats rubbish about the bag, I hope something gets sorted. Its not like Disney to not do anything, especially if it was taken from one of their rooms... I would not be a happy bunny :(

Hope her last few days are amazing for her and her family. Can't wait to here all about it when she gets back :p015:

[Jodie]

They'll be on their way home soon, time does fly!

[Ariel2008]

OMG your kidding, they only went a few days ago didn't they?

[Jodie]

OMG your kidding, they only went a few days ago didn't they?

Nope, 23rd Oct!

I bet Claire's feeling the pain today, Had it not been for TCD they would have gone Sat 29th Oct until this Sat, thye may have gone earlier but coming home earlier can't be nice!

[Dizneyblonde]

They should be doing the 4 park challenge today!

[Jodie]

wed 5th nov

yes...we are still doin our 4 park challenge!!!!



Four park challenge was yesterday Hun, today is DtD & BBB for Dannii

[Ariel2008]

4 park challenge - I could never do that. 2 parks in one day is hard enough, let alone 4.

[Dizneyblonde]

you can probably guess that my laptop was not in the bag...thank god!!!!
but a couple of phone chargers and other leads and wires were.
disney were not that helpfull in the end, but i will explain in more detail when i have had some sleep!!

we had a fab time, and all 8 of us got on really well.....my sister had a go on almost everything...which really shocked me!!!!!
she didnt really enjoy them all but she had a go!!

wish i had the time and energy to sit here and type away, as i want to tell you all about it..............some ups and downs..............
sadly 4 park challenge turned into 3, as 7 out of 8 came down with a nasty bug which spoilt the last day of the holiday and we were all looking forward to flying home.

i have unpacked, got the washing machine on and have all my souvineers lined up!!!!
i know i have spelt that wrong teresa but i am shattered!!

feel free to call me on the house phone early evening girls, as my mobile is almost out of charge!!!! i need to replace my charger!
