The all New *OFFICIAL JUNE* 2011 thread! Some like it hot!

[camsmomE]

The photo safari now has 40 players!! Join us at June 2011 Photo Safari.

Any chance I can talk you into creating a cute little key card-sized brief list of the photos we're going to be taking (that I can slip into my lanyard ID holder) while I'm on property??

Yippee!!! We're down to less than 2 weeks to go! When we planned our trip in February we invited a young woman who is a very dear friend - almost like a second daughter - to go with us. We included her in everything - resort package, ADR's, travel plans.

The difficulty is that she works in the television and film industry and her work schedule is erratic. We knew she would come with us if she could but if an opportunity came to work on a film she'd need to take it. She's been working for years at PA jobs trying to get enough hours to get into the DGA.

Anyway - we just got a call today that she is for SURE going to be coming with us! She's been able to work fairly steadily since her regular job shut down for the season so she has enough money saved to live off of for a few months. And no good offers have come her way yet so next Sunday she'll be flying here so we can all drive to WDW on June 2nd!

We're so excited! We love her so much - my youngest DS only recently figured out that her last name wasn't the same as ours! She's always been such a large part of our lives. It just seems right that she'll be able to be with us on our "Once In A Lifetime Family Vacation!"

That is so great! The more people you have with you that are wagging their tails THE BETTER!!!
Woo Hoo!!

I just want to make it to Disney before Doomsday really occurs. Is that too much to ask for these days?

But just think how much less crowded it would be!

Our plan is to have no plan. This is the 1st trip with ADR. I'm glad for Park Hopper passes so we can always go back and do something.

I went to our mall this morning. Found some cute girls Disney t-shirts at JC Pennys. They also had some tank tops for 3.99 as well. Had to restock DH Tar Heel t-shirts for the trip. Trying to figure out how soon is too soon to pack.
