I'm a nor cal girl for life! My hubby and I are high school sweethearts with 2 princesses and living happily ever after. We go to DL 4or5 times a year when we are AP holders. And I\\\'m totally addicted to MW!
Leaving for dl in the morning! Excited to be going, sad because we are letting our AP expire on tues! Not in the budget for next year. I will just have to stay connected here! See ya soon!
I have made my own HUGE Minnie bow to wear in my hair this week. I'll post pics in the park tomorrow. We are leaving in 5 hours!!! Can't sleep! So excited!
Thank you Tamstirr...haha that must be why we are friends outside of MW, we think alike...I'm gonna txt her now :) ~ ~ @Disneycrazy come on girlie post your pic please...we have less than 3 weeks till our race and we want to be stylin :)))) - CoralsReef319.2 #525 8-16-11 8:17PMLike Reply
T Minus 2 days and counting. Is it crazy that we are leaving nor cal at 3am on Sunday to spend as much time as we can at the park? I am disneycrazy!!!!!
Nope! When I was there three weeks ago I left SJ at 5am & was in the park by 11! - ythdudette340.0 #432 8-12-11 10:36AMLike Reply

Nope we leave wt 4am everytime we go. The kids and wife sleep while I drive and we head straight to the park(if we can't get an early check in) then one of us will leave and go check in our room and then come back...Yup that's how we do it as much time at dland as posiable...ugh no I wanna go even tho ee were there two weekend in a row. - dadcanevari28.1 #4471 8-12-11 10:54AMLike Reply

So my daughter who graduates from HS in 3 weeks has picked to renew our AP's over doing a cruise for her senior trip. I'm so excited and so proud of my disneycrazy daughter! I didn't think we were gonna make it back this year!! Oh Disney! More...
I hate when our impromptu trip to DL doesn't happen because bills get in the way. And our AP's expire on the 22nd. With no renewal in our future. I am so sad... My heart is breaking and my eyes are teary.
Things will work out!! Keep thinking happy thoughts!! - SillyBelle253.5 #978 3-7-11 4:22PMLike Reply

I know "exactly" what you are going through. Our passes expired at the end of January when we were planning on going to DL but because of the lack of funds we couldn't make it. So sad. - MikeyMouse64.2 #3508 3-7-11 7:17PMLike Reply
