Disney Trip Planning

(Sept 2009)So we just finished paying for our trip to Disney World that will be in November (2009). This will be our second trip, we also went for our Honeymoon in late May 2008. So I thought I would take all the tips and ideas of what we want to do and see this time (including things we missed, new things, or things we really liked) Plus this way its all in one place, I can edit it as needed, and share it.

+Edit: (March 2010) I started research for a family reunion trip in Nov 2010 for my husband's mother's family. I just figured it would be easier to edit this entry adding an + for new info. I changed the date of the original entry to make it easier for me to find.

Change of Blog Purpose

To anyone that actually reads this blog, as most of the people I knew on Xanga dont use it anymore, this had become more of a dumping ground for bookmarking links and making list that I think only I will use. I use my LiveJournal more often, although I have dropped off using it as well.


Free Magazines

Because we might move I wanted to cut down on changing addresses, so I havent subscribed to these yet, but these are some I have found while looking for free samples and want to try out. I do miss Krafts Food and Family magazine being free, at least most of the recipes are on the website.

Lowe's Creative Ideas

Kikkoman K Magazine

P & G Rouge Magazine

Edit:
IKEA Catalog

Remedy Life

Free Travel Guides

P.S. there are plenty of free bridal, baby/mom, and kid magazines out there but I'm not in the market for those.
