My Pre-Trip Report:



Hello everyone :wave2: (or no one as the case might be). My name is Wendy and I’m 23 (much to the disbelief of some).

I’m considering a trip to Disneyland next month. :banana: I already have reservations at a hotel, but I need to do two things before I can say for sure that I will be going to Disneyland. Those two things are:
1) Get the time off work. I wont be able to ask my boss for time off until October 1, because she is in Peru this month.
-and-​
2) Make sure I have the money. I’ve been working extra hours this month, but it wasn’t discussed with my boss before she left. So, I have no clue if I’ll be paid for my extra hours.

If I do go, then I will be there October 16-19. The reason for those specific dates is that's when the mini-meet for the girl’s only trip to Disneyland that’s in March is. I need to go and make sure these women on the internet are really women...me being a male, that wears dresses and all.

I will be making this trip on my own, which is something I’ve never done before. I think it will be interesting to experience Disneyland on my own, with no schedule to follow or people to have to please. I get to do what I want, when I want. Which means churros for breakfast, lunch and dinner! OK, not really, but it’s fun to think about. One things for sure is that I will be taking TONS of pictures.

A little bit about myself:

Believe it or not I am 23. I know I am, I have to be, I refuse to believe anything else. 1985, look it up, I’ll be there, as a newborn.

I live in Roseville, CA. 432 miles away from Disneyland and 413 miles of that is on I-5 :sad2: . I am the proud owner of an AP, but I still don’t go as often as I would like. The last time I was there was in February, but it feels like it has been YEARS since I’ve been there.

Here’s a pic of me and my mommy. I'm on the left, see 23! Well, 22, in this photo:

(See! I really am a girl!)

These are my babies:

Kao-

I’m just going to act like I’m going on this trip for sure and just talk like I will be going.

I really need a vacation, because I have had a lot of stuff to deal with, that no one should have to deal with. I’m going absolutely nuts and if I don’t take a vacation I will completely lose my mind (what I have left of it anyways).

So lets keep our fingers crossed for me!
 
You're a Funny Bunny! I was laughing so hard at that picture you googled.

What a sweet pic of You and Your mom! You're a Cutie!:cutie:

You made me think of this song..

"'cause i'm just a girl.
I'd rather not be
'cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
I'm just a girl,
Guess i'm some kind of freak
'cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
I'm just a girl.
Take a good looks at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh...i've had it up to here!
Oh...am i making myself clear?"



I hope everything works out with the overtime and that you get to go on your mucho needed vacation.

Your cats are pretty, we have one named baby.. she's soooooOoooo BiG.. if she would sit still i could put her in a little red wagon..but noooOooo.. she has to be diabla cat.

Thanks for sharing Your Pre Trip!

I thought that picture was pretty awesome! The sad thing is, I think he looks better in that dress then I ever would (body wise that is).

Aww, thank you! Everyone always says I look so innocent in pictures, but they know the truth.

I LOVE No Doubt! and I REALLY love that song!
...going to Rhapsody now to play it...

Thank you! I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, hope it all works out!

Thank you. I love my kitties. I want to see your cat! We have a cat here at my work and she is a fat thing. We named her Tubby.

I've been telling everyone that I'm officially a cat lady...

Thanks for reading!
 
I love to drive my car with that song on! Have you seen a pic of Gwen and Gavin's new baby yet? I bet it's adorable. Perez Hilton will probably have it soon.

I'll have to get a pic of baby..she will be realllly happy about it i'm sure!:scared1:

We also have a teenie tiny chihuahua who wasn't supposed to be tiny, but someone forgot to tell her.. and we have a toy pomerianianianianian....and last but not least a craZy tibetan spaniel. I tell my husband they have a karmic bond and that the dog is really the reincarnation of general mao.:mad:

I love Youtube.. i'm always on that listening to music.

So what was your favorite part of the last ladies trip?

Puppies! I love small dogs, I want to see pictures of them too!

I love YouTube. I found this awesome kitty video there: Mean Kitty
Sparta reminds me SO much of Tabitha, and not just because they look alike!

So what was your favorite part of the last ladies trip?

I didn't get to go to the last one. :sad2: I was hoping I would get the chance, but this year has kinda majorly sucked for me. I'm desperately trying to turn things around though!
 
Hey Wendy! Great disguise. You almost really do look like a girl. :rolleyes1



:rotfl: Kidding!

I have such a bone to pick with you young lady!! (said in my best motherly tone) Not only are you a very YOUNG female, you are totally cute! :cutie: That's it, I'm kicking you out of our WISH thread. :rotfl2: You don't need to lose anything.

Anyway, thanks for posting the pic. I don't have to bring my pepper spray now. LOL

I really hope your boss let's you have the time off. I'm not sure what's been going on, but it sounds like you could totally use a break. :hug:

I love all your kitties too! I'm a total cat person. Alright your dog is pretty cute too. ;)

You'd be amazed at the pictures I have of me, where I think I actually do look like a boy!

You have no clue Beth, that picture was taken a year ago, and it's absolutely horrifying how much weight I've put on since then. :scared1: I don't even kinda sorta fit into those jeans anymore. :sad2:

Anyway, thanks for posting the pic. I don't have to bring my pepper spray now. LOL
You better bring it just in case we need to ward off our admirers! :rotfl:

I really hope your boss let's you have the time off. I'm not sure what's been going on, but it sounds like you could totally use a break. :hug:
I hope so too! She's really good about letting me have time off, especially for Disneyland!

I attribute most of my weight gain to the stress I've been through this year.

I love all your kitties too! I'm a total cat person. Alright your dog is pretty cute too. ;)

My kitties are awesome! They all have such unique personalities. Pumpkin loves to fight himself in my mirror, it's hilarious!
Kao is the biggest baby ever! We spoiled him too much when he was growing up.
 
Hi Wendy!!

I'm on board now, and waiting for more!popcorn::

Well, I'm at work for another 3 hrs and 40 mins, so you'll be hearing plenty more from me today! You'll probably start hoping that I stop posting!
 
So far, this is what I have planned for my trip:
Thursday, October 16- Leave for Disneyland, early in the AM. If I feel up to it, I might leave Wednesday after work, drive half way and stay the night in Bakersfield.
Arrive at Disneyland, probably head straight to the park, but might go straight to the hotel to check in.
I’m considering doing Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party this night. Not really sure if I want to be that person though.

Friday, October 17- The only thing I have planned for this day is the mini-meet. YAY!!!!!

Saturday, October 18- Halloween tour with Linda, Cheryl, Stacie and her daughter. I’m really looking forward to this too!!!!

Sunday, October 19- Leave for home :sad1:


I’m going to start making a list of all the foods I want to try too! I have to get one of those corn dogs everyone is talking about. I never realized there was so much good sounding food at Disneyland that I’ve never tried!


Here’s a picture from my last trip to Disneyland:
girls167.jpg

That’s me with my niece and behind us is my brother in law and my other niece. Before Dumbo, we all (7 of us) went on Storybook Canals and we all had on the light up Mickey ears, and the driver of our boat couldn’t stop cracking up. It was SO dark and our whole boat was lighting up with different colors because of those ears. When we went through Montsro’s mouth he laughed and said it was like being at a rave.

I love the Mickey light up ears! :yay: Did you get them from DL, or ahead of time.


The corn dogs are really good. Just today, I was getting my haircut, and my hairdresser was telling me that they are going to DL this Sunday. I told her to try the corn dogs, because they ares so yummy! Gee that sure sounds good!
 
The Halloween Tour sounds cool. :cool1: I would love to go, but I'm hanging with my children that day. :cloud9:

We are doing the Trick or Treat party Friday night. Can't wait to see what it is all about! :banana:

We found them in DCA. They were in the store that sells the Mr. Potato Head parts.

I'm SO hungry right now! I wish I could have that corn dog now!

I'm so excited to do both! I've never been to Disneyland when they've had the Halloween decorations up, so this will be a new experience. I'm SO super excited! :yay:

Oh ok, I won't kick you out then. :)



Saturday, October 18- Halloween tour with Linda, Cheryl, Stacie and her daughter. I’m really looking forward to this too!!!!
Are you guys doing this on Saturday? Stacie thought it was on Thursday but she wasn't sure.
I'm really interested in taking this tour too. I might be able to do it Saturday but not on Thursday.

You are going to love it! Make sure to bring your camera cause you will want to take tons of pics. :thumbsup2
 
Oh ok, I won't kick you out then. :)

you should probably kick me out anyways! I'm doing such a horrible job!!!!

Are you guys doing this on Saturday? Stacie thought it was on Thursday but she wasn't sure.

You should come join us! We are doing it on Saturday. We're getting our tickets this Thursday though, so that's probably where the confusion is from.

You are going to love it! Make sure to bring your camera cause you will want to take tons of pics. :thumbsup2

I'm already considering buying a backup battery and memory card! ...I should probably get those anyways!
 
I have Beth to blame for this next part...:sad2:

See, she just had to go on and on about the Disney Store in her pre-trip report. So I just had to go this week and check it out.

I spent more then I really needed to, so I totally blame Beth for it. ::yes::

I ended up with mostly Tinkerbell stuff. It’s all for my trip, so I’m excited!

Here’s my new pj's that I got on sale:

I’ll probably wear this for the mini-meet:

I’ve been looking online at Disneyshopping.com too. I shouldn’t be allowed to go shopping. I always want EVERYTHING.
 
AAAAAhh... i wanted that dress!!!! I had it in my shopping cart then my laptop battery died.

That is so Cute!! I thought it would be cute with some black tights and a pair of chunky black shoes or black docs.

See it is My dress..i already had it acessorized! :rotfl:

Cute Cute tinkerbell pjs... i Love Love Love tinkerbelle!

I'm making a reconstructed hoodie with a tinkerbelle theme... also i'm doing an alice in wonderland cuz i love alice in wonderland.


Also... don't worry that you can't fit into those jeans... sometimes in life we need more weight than others.. i guess i need more now.. :lmao:
Seriously though.. in many places in the world.. mothers cry because they can't get food to feed their babies..we are Lucky in our troubles of being curvy. Besides.. boys like it.. my husband likes it. Or he better!!! :rotfl:

when i get back next week i'll take pictures of the furry babies..
