What Have I Done?

przedSo, I've been MIA most of this week, due to being taken down by a horrid cold, doing the ensuing catch up at work, starting a professional course online, and...doing the planning for a Disneyworld vacation.
I have just got off the phone with Disney. I've booked the rooms for us and the other family we're travelling with. And there's still flights to book, and character meals to plan, and park tickets to buy...
Oh. My. God.
I'm sure it'll be fun, and Ros and her friend will LOVE IT, but it's not quite the long weekend in New York City I'd originally envisioned for our family vacation this year.
In other, more fannish news, the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halotolerant has provided me with some prime '90s Take That footage for vidding, and literally the first thing I saw when I opened the file was this:
Oh, boys. Clearly, the universe is aware of my OT3 proclivities and decided to throw me a bone. ::sigh::

Date: 2012-02-12 04:28 am (UTC)It'll be fun. And I'm totally dragging everyone over to the Hollywood Studios park and the replica of the MGM backlot, just so I can check out Delfloria's entrance from UNCLE. I'm crazy that way. ;-)

Date: 2012-02-12 04:57 am (UTC)Yeah, Disneyworld certainly isn't a long weekend in New York. *g* Still, you'll have a fantastic time and Ros'll remember if for years to come.
Yep, that looks like OT3 ammo to me. :D

No. Kidding. Bless those boys.

Date: 2012-02-12 08:55 am (UTC)I got the cold, too. It's clearly a transatlantic one.
I'm sure you will have a memorable family holiday at Disney. You can have a long w/e in NY when she's older!!

Date: 2012-02-12 01:49 pm (UTC)You have my commiserations on the cold. I'm sure the stupid thing is global by now.
I'm sure Disney will be fine, but there are some lovely little girl type things I'd love to do with Ros in NYC while she's this age. Though you're right that once she's older that opens up even more.

I'm sure Disney will be fab. And

Date: 2012-02-12 02:52 pm (UTC)And the other interview, of course, from that session, with Robbie watching Gary talk, is so wince-making...

Date: 2012-02-12 04:47 pm (UTC)And bless those young TT boys...they know where the slash is at :D
no subject
Date: 2012-02-12 04:50 pm (UTC)There year after that, though, we're totally doing New York.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-12 04:51 pm (UTC)I couldn't make it through Robbie watching Gary talk, I have to admit. Wince-making indeed.

Date: 2012-02-12 04:53 pm (UTC)Those TT boys, young or not, certainly know which end of the slash is which. :D

But I'm not a great advisor in the field of 'how to see only a very sensible number of Take That concerts' *g*

Date: 2012-02-13 01:01 am (UTC)Dare I say, I hope we can see a show together at some point?

You're talking to someone who saw a-ha's final tour three times in three different countries, so, ya know, I think we're in the same ballpark of "sensible." That said, I think that pesky Atlantic ocean and my limited amount of vacation will likely restrict the number of times I see any show But it will be a number greater than one!

Date: 2012-02-13 02:02 am (UTC)That picture! =:-O
So, Jason's looking all hard and manly, Howard's being a goof, and Mark...Markie's looking like a girl (so no change there. *g*)

Date: 2012-02-13 03:55 am (UTC)The way your significant other spoke, he barely had vacation time to go to Chicago.
Let us know how it goes. We are thinking of taking the kids next year.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-13 04:17 am (UTC)Vacation time is going to be tight for us both, especially me, since I've only got 3 weeks now, but it's all getting eaten by things like trips to the Sault and the film fest.
We'll definitely report back. It is, I have to say, more work than I'd like to put into a Disney trip. I don't do this much planning when I go to Europe FFS.

Date: 2012-02-13 06:45 pm (UTC)They do obligingly do these stadium tours where they settle at one place for several nights in a row, which is handy and doubly handy for hotels etc
no subject
Date: 2012-02-14 04:46 am (UTC)Okay, and I'm done.
Although there is this. Wrong OT3, but still quite adorable.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-14 04:48 am (UTC)Oh, Gary, how can you possibly be that pale?
Oh, Jason, how did only 2% of the girls realize how awesome you are?
no subject
Date: 2012-02-14 04:50 am (UTC)And unavoidable, looking at this pic. Man, Mark cuddling Jason and Rob cuddling Howard is just...I've lost the ability to speak. And I'm not sure what I love more, Mark's shitkicker boots or Howard's bare feet. (Bare feet might just be a fetish for me.)
no subject
Date: 2012-02-14 04:52 pm (UTC)Yay! I'll have to find a way to make it happen.
I have to say, last year, when I was trying to come up with some way of getting over for the Progress tour, I kept wondering if I could physically handle floor tickets, and then thinking "Well, Halo can do it!" But yes, you must think of your legs! It's a good thing Kay looks after you. *g*
