only 99 days to go

[Skippy24]

As of today we only have to wait 99 days!!:cool1: :banana: :woohoo: I am so excited and we're paid in full!!:dance3: I just had to share my excitement! :banana:

[sandybobandy]

CONGRATS! We're at 97 so I can thoroughly join in your excitement! lol

[Mickey_Lynne]

96 for me!!! :banana:

What date are you leaving WDW on? We are leaving on 10/7/07. We'll all be there about the same time. :cheer2:

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

We leave 10/7 also. It's so fun to find people traveling around the same time frame. Can I ask where you're staying?

Last year as we were trying to find our room at ASMo, a gentleman *not* traveling with us put his room key in our door thinking it was his and his family's room. lol We all laughed it off and they were actually supposed to be one room down. Long story short, I posted this on the boards when we got home and small world-it was a fellow dis'ers husband and family!! It was a very informal and accidental Dis Meet but still fun.

Maybe we'll keep this thread going so we can all count down together! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

We're staying at All Star Music in a family suite. :woohoo: Where are you staying at?

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Get outta town! All Star Music hopefully in the Broadway building!!!!!! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

That's cool. :cool2: I think we'll probably be in the Calypso building or the Jazz Inn. Those are the only 2 with family suites. My mom will be traveling with us and she'll have a wheelchair so we requested 1st floor poolside and I believe the closest building to the pool is the Calypso so more than likely we'll be there. Who is traveling with you? We are my DH, DM, DD 16, DD 14 and DD 10 and myself!

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Awesome! Sounds like you'll have a full house! Is it anyone's first trip? :)

It'll be Joe (my hubby) and I. We'll be there for our 3rd anniversary. Do you have all your ADR's set? What about MNSSHP? We've got our tickets for 10/4 but are considering going on 9/30 as well. :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

It is all of our first trip to WDW and first time flying too for most of us. We also have tickets to the MNSSHP for 10/4 :rotfl: Yes, we've made all our advance reservations too. Just finished them up last night. Here goes:

9/27 Chef Mickey's
9/28 Cap N' Jacks
9/29 Liberty Tree Tavern

Do you have your ADRs? Where are you going to eat? We have the dining plan. I really wanted to get in L' celliers but it was booked for the week and I'd rather have advanced reservations then just wing it!!

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Wow! VERY impressive ADR line up! You must be so excited. Heck-I'm excited FOR you! lol We went to Le Cellier last year and enjoyed it but I don't think it lived up to the hype. GREAT idea to start your trip with Chef Mickey's!!!

Here's ours:
9/29 ESPN Club (our favorite!)
9/30 Trail's End at Fort Wilderness and then the campfire sing a long!
10/1 Spoodles breakfast & Hollywood and Vine (Fantasmic package)
10/2 Kona Dinner

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Alright Mickey_Lynne....dare I ask what *time* your Coral Reef reservation is at? lol Ours is at 2pm. We'll be doing the Segway tour that morning. So excited! :)

[Skippy24]

Congrats to all of you on your up and coming trips. I hope you all have an amazing time!!!!

[danny1649]

99 is good :goodvibes :banana: :dance3: :cheer2: :woohoo: :goodvibes :banana: :thumbsup2

[Skippy24]

We're heading home on the 7th also.

[sandybobandy]

Alright Skippy.....if you say you're staying at All Star Music and are eating at the Coral Reef on 10/5 I'm gonna throw my hands up and laugh! :)

[Skippy24]

We are not staying at ASM, but we are having lunch at the Coral Reef on 10/4. :rotfl:

[sandybobandy]

We are not staying at ASM, but we are having lunch at the Coral Reef on 10/4. :rotfl:

I suppose it's just as well...that would have been a little too weird! lol Do you wanna share your ADR's or any of your plans?

For every ten days down, Joe and I are going to watch a Disney movie. So last night we watched The Lion King. So in 10 days we'll watch another and so on....fun! :)

[Skippy24]

I like the idea of watching the movies! It give you baby steps to get to the big trip. I'm actually really excited about my ADR's since it's only our third trip I decided to try all new places.

9/30 Akershus-breakfast, Marrekesh-dinner
10/1 Liberty Tree Tavern - Dinner
10/2 Sci-Fi Dine in - lunch
10/4 Coral Reef Lunch
10/7 Cape May Cafe - Breakfast

How about you?
-Skippy

[sandybobandy]

Oooh those look like great ADR's! Good for you for trying new places! Joe and I are creatures of habit and are eating at mostly the same places but a couple are new. Here's ours:
Here's ours:

9/29 ESPN Club (our favorite and first night tradition!)
9/30 Trail's End at Fort Wilderness and then the campfire sing a long!
10/1 Spoodles breakfast & Hollywood and Vine (Fantasmic package)
10/2 Kona Dinner
10/3 Whispering Canyon Cafe lunch & Yachstman Steakhouse
10/4 Whispering Canyon Cafe breakfast
10/5 Coral Reef Lunch & Chef Mickey's dinner

So out of our 10 ADR's, 7 are new. Hm! Guess that's not so bad! :)

Where are you staying?

[Skippy24]

Ohh, i'm hopeing to try Spoodles at some point this trip. We are actually staying at the Beach Club resort.

The one place that we will probably do again in the Big River Grill. On our last two trips we've ended up there for our first nights dinner. So I can see us ended up there again. :rotfl: I also really enjoy their hazelnut crusted chicken.

Also good for you for trying new places. I find it very hard to decide where to try because there are so many choices. :rotfl2:

[sandybobandy]

We liked Big River when we were there a couple years ago! We were just shocked when I asked for pickles and they said they didn't serve them there. lol
Have you stayed at the Beach Club before?

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey guys! I just got back from a camping weekend. :thumbsup2 Our reservations for Coral Reef are at 4:00. What time are yours Skippy?

Mickey_Lynne

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey Sandy,

How did you get a 40% code for the ASM?

Mickey_Lynne

[EasyGoing*]

:cloud9:

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys! I just got back from a camping weekend. :thumbsup2 Our reservations for Coral Reef are at 4:00. What time are yours Skippy?

Mickey_Lynne

Welcome back Lynne! Did you have fun camping? :)

Our Coral Reef ressie is for 2pm. Maybe we'll overlap. :)

When the 40% off code was found out by disser's on the codes & rates board, I called up Disney and asked if either joe or I had a pin code attached to our names and we did! It was under his name at our old address. I have no idea what qualifies people to get codes but we were really excited to get it. So we're using that and are paying for the dining plan.

[Skippy24]

We have stayed there before and ours are at 11:30. It's actually our 10th anniversary so i've ordered a cake, the diver with the message and the special menu. I can't wait my DH is going to be very surprised.

[sandybobandy]

I have dropped SO many clues to Joe about getting a diver and a cake for our ameal there. He always says he doesn't know how to surprise me-I've given him the BIGGEST clues ever so I hope he picks up on this one. lol

Happy early anniversary! We'll be there for our 3rd annviersary :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Yes, it was fun. It was our first time hiking up a mountain too :banana: Welcome to the thread EasyGoing. It looks like you and I are arriving on the same day!

Mickey_Lynne

[Echo queen]

ARDS:
9/30 Hollywood & Vine Fantasmic package
10/1 Gargen Grill Lunch
10/3 Cape May Cafe dinner
10/4 Whispering Canyon dinner

It's so nice to finally find someone :grouphug: to share this info with.:goodvibes Regular people (non disers) don't really care:rolleyes1

[Skippy24]

Thanks Sandy and Happy Anniversary to you as well!!

Yay! I'm so glad you're here, Echo! :) Looks like you've got some great ADR's set up! We're excited for Whispering Canyon. I can just feel the skillet. lol!!!

[Echo queen]

Whispering canyon looks really popular:dance3: , this will be a first time visit to all of my ARDS on this trip. We love having firsts:thumbsup2

[sandybobandy]

I was just commending Skippy because she had some new ADR's. Out of our 10 ressies, 7 are new places. My husband and I are creatures of habit and love what we love. We don't try new things often but when the dining plan is available, it's silly not to take advantage :)
And Echo, I see you did a cruise a couple years ago. Did you enjoy yourself? Joe and I are booked for our first Disney cruise next year! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

I had to change two of our dinner reservations. I had forgot that on 9/27 when we arrive to WDW that MK will have having the MNSSHP @ 7:00 and our Chef Mickey dinner was @ 9:00. We figured it wouldn't be worth it to go back to ASM at 7:00 cause by the time we'd get there it'd be time to turn around. I also didn't want to have to hang around the Contemporary for 2 hours! :scared1: I ended up changing Chef Mickey to our last night 10/6 and 1900 Park Fare for our first night at 7:15 which is more convenient. They said the 1900 Park Fare will actually be at the Grand Floridian Cafe since they are remoldeling it during that time but it will be the same Cinderella Gala Feast meal. Sounds good to me!

Sandy, what time is your Chef Mickey meal on the 6th? Ours is at 7:50 pm. That was another reason also for changing Chef Mickey because I heard it closes at 9:30 and that would of been to rushed! I want to be able to have the characters come to our table! :yay: This is like the 4th time I change things :lmao:

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Hey Lynne!
Okay, I'm kinda confused. You're doing MNSS on 9/27? Because last year they let us into the park for the party at 4pm. So there'd be no reason to have to go back to the resort prior to the party. Maybe I read it wrong.

I probably mis-spoke....we're leaving on 6th so we'll be at Chef Mickey's on 10/5. Eeks! Can't wait! lol

Have you been to Mickey's Not So Scary before?

[EasyGoing*]

Yes, it was fun. It was our first time hiking up a mountain too :banana: Welcome to the thread EasyGoing. It looks like you and I are arriving on the same day!

Mickey_Lynne

Yes we will! Just me and my wife and two friends. I cant wait!:hourglass :cloud9:

[Echo queen]

And Echo, I see you did a cruise a couple years ago. Did you enjoy yourself? Joe and I are booked for our first Disney cruise next year! :)

Yes, we did the 7 night western last May and it was wonderful:dance3: , one of our best vacations ever. We met up with the folks I met here on the dis board and that made it evan better. Get ready for a wonderful vacation.:banana:

[Mickey_Lynne]

Ok, I think I was a little confused yesterday too. I thought there was a MNSSHP on 9/27 but it seems there isn't. I was thinking that we'd have to leave the park at 7:00 since we are not going till October 4th to the MNSSHP. Anyway regardless I'm glad we changed our Chef Mickey ressies because it closes at 9:30 and our ressies were at 9:00 pm. Yeah, I probably misread the day you were leaving too. For some reason I was thinking it was the same day as us! :confused3 I'm still glad I changed those 2 ressies around. No, we've never been to MNSSHP before because we've never been to Disney before! This is our first time. :cool1:

Mickey_Lynne

[NJ2Boardwalk]

We're heading home on the 7th also.

Haha. you have the exact same dates as us. We are leaving the 29 and coming home on the 7th. Where are you staying?

[Rapunzel]

We leave in 99 days. :)

We're staying at ASMo and we're eating at the Coral Reef on the 5th too! :upsidedow

[sandybobandy]

Hello Rapunzel!!! Welcome to our little thread here. It's soooo fun to be able to count down with others! :) Who are you traveling with? Is it your first time to Disney?


Lynne-My bad! I forgot it was your first time. :) You're going to have a BLAST at Mickey's Not So Scary! I've got a TON of pictures from last year. I can post them when I get home if you'd like! :)

[Rapunzel]

Me (26 at the time of travel), my hubby (28 at time of travel), our kidlets 5 &2, my mom, my brother and sister in law!

I havn't been to DisneyWorld since 1991, as a family vacation. My mom and I did Disneyland for 8 years in a row, with our last trip being in 1998.

So while it won't be my *first* trip...it's been a long time. It'll be a first for my babies though, and I can't wait to see the world thru their eyes! :)

[sandybobandy]

Awwww! You guys are going to have such a magical time! Joe (also 28) and I (I'll be 25 when we go) can't wait to bring our kids the first time to Disney. We're not planning on trying for kids for another few years but it's definitely one of those things I'm looking forward to.

Where are you staying? Did you already mention it? I probably missed it. lol Do you want to share your ADR's? We stayed at ASMo last year and Loooooved it. We took a ton of pics there too-would love to share them if you want to see. We were in the Love Bug building.

Hi NJ2! I see you're staying at the Beach Club AND the Poly? That sounds awesome. :)

[Rapunzel]

We're staying at ASMo with a request in the Buzz Lightyear area with an adjoining room for my mom, she's agreed to take the kids back to the hotel around bedtime if Tom (DH) and I want to hang out at the parks later! :)

This is what I have so far for our ADR's:

10/3 - Nothing planned (Arrival day)
10/4 - Chef Mickey's - Dinner
10/5 - Coral Reef - Dinner
10/6 - Crystal Palace - Breakfast
107 - Rose & Crown - Dinner
10/8 - Tony's Town Square (I'm not sure that we're keeping this ressie - we haven't decided 100% on doing MNSSHP)
10/9 - Brown Derby - Dinner
10/10 - Capt'n Jacks - Lunch (Departure day)

[sandybobandy]

Great great great ADR's! Such a variety! We've only eaten at one place on your list (Chef Mickey's) but are scheduled to eat at CR this year. All the other ones on your list are foreign to me.

I see you're from IL-we're in MN :) Do you drive or fly? We drive!

With the few of us traveling at the same time and staying relatively close together, we should try to carve out 15 minutes during the trip and meet! That would be so fun! (I tend to get ahead of myself if you couldn't tell. lol)

[Rapunzel]

We're flying! :lol: No way I'd be able to survive that long in the car with my kiddos. Or maybe they wouldn't survive that long? :rotfl: I was ready to pay the 203.30/person a ticket - then one morning I was browsing united's website and came across tickets for 128.20/person and booked 7 tickets right then. I realized that we only spent like $90 more on SEVEN tickets then it would have been for the 4 of us to fly!


Some of the resturants were not our first choices...but we're traveling with my brother and his wife, and they're vegetarians (who eat seafood)..so we tried to pick places that would be kid & veggie family friendly. I was able to sneek in 2 character meals, so I'm happy. :) Also, my mom has been RAVING about the Brown Derby since I brought up the WDW vacation, so my brother and I have agreed to suprise her with that.


I'd love to meet some new people! We'll be around from the 3rd-10th :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Lynne-My bad! I forgot it was your first time. :) You're going to have a BLAST at Mickey's Not So Scary! I've got a TON of pictures from last year. I can post them when I get home if you'd like! :)

I'd love to see the pics! Please post them! :goodvibes

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Lynne I will be sure to post them when I get home tonight. :)

Rap-WOW! That's a great air fare rate! Good for you guys! I don't fly so driving works well for us. :) It's actually a beautiful drive through Tennessee.

We'll have to plan a mini meet then! Yay!

[lovemy3girls]

Just wanted to chime in.....We will be there Sept. 28-Oct. 6! The countdown is on! Doing MNSSHP Oct 4th. Can't wait! Happy planning, everyone!

[sandybobandy]

Hello lovemy3girls! I can't believe how many will be there in that last week of Sept/early Oct! We'll be there 9/29-10/6.

We're going to MNSS on 10/4 too!! Are you going in costume? Joe and I are deliberating it....we had a GREAT costume idea last year but chickened out last minute. I think we'll do it this year though (dress up)

[lovemy3girls]

My 3 DD's are dressing up, of course, and they are trying to talk us into it, we'll see. DH just wants to wear a Tshirt that says "This is my costume". Have you ever been to MNSSHP? We were there in 2005. It is so much fun! Well, maybe we will see you there!

[sandybobandy]

Oh yes! We were there last year (am going to be posting pictures later tonight for Lynne) and looooved it. There were no waits for any rides and we got some gooood candy. lol I love your DH's tshirt idea! :) That's hilarious. Do you have ADR's for before the party? We're going to Cosmic Ray's-have heard good things about the rib and chicken platter :)

[lovemy3girls]

I think we are just gonna do counter service before the party. Cosmic Ray's is good- we ate lunch there last trip. We might just eat at our resort before we head over to the party. We'll just play it by ear. I hate to wish the summer away, but I CAN"T WAIT TILL SEPT 28TH!

[sandybobandy]

If you don't want to wish the summer away, I WILL! lol We're leaving 9/27 to drive to St Louis and will be in Atlanta on the 28th and then checking into ASMu on the 30th.

Eeeeeps! (that was me being excited. lol)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Glad you joined this thread Lovemy3girls. I have 3 girls also. How old are yours? Mine will be 16, 14 and 10. I'll also be at WDW from the 9/27 till 10/7. I cannot wait either. I do love summer though and am enjoying it off. :hippie: I work at a school. Oh, and I'm also doing MNSSHP on 10/4.

I'm looking forward to seeing your pics Sandy! :thumbsup2

Mickey_Lynne

[lovemy3girls]

My girls are: Just turned 5, almost 7, and 9 1/2- that 1/2 is very important, ya know! They are so excited for this trip, mostly because Grammy and Poppop are coming with us for most of the trip, and they have never really done Disney (just a couple of day trips to MK). The girls can't wait to show them what it's all about. Plus, my Aunt and little cousin age 11 have never been, so they are meeting us down there for a few days as well. Nothing like going to Disney with newbies. It should be fun. Still trying to decide on costumes for the party. The girls keep changing their minds. My parents and aunt will be gone by then, so it will just be our family of 5 at the party, which will be nice. Any costume ideas?

[Marion]

99 days and making the final payment on Thursday! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: 99 days just seems SO much closer than 100 :teeth:

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys! Our home internet has been down since Monday night. (I'm at the library right now :() and I don't have any pictures saved on my work PC. I feel so bad-I know you were hoping to see the MNSSHP pictures. I promise I'll post them as soon as our net is back up.
Hope you guys are well! My countdown clock at home said 92 days! Yeehaw! :)

Sandy :)

[Rapunzel]

I REALLY want to do the MNSSHP, but I can't justify spending $120+ just so my kids will be there for like 2 hours. I know they wont make it past 9pm :(

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hi Sandy, Sorry to hear that your internet has been down. :sad2: It's ok, just post the pictures when you can. :) No problem!

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

For some miraculous reason, our internet is back up! I'm not sure what happened but I'm so excited. I felt terribly disconnected from the world! lol

Here's a few pictures....Enjoy!

[Mickey_Lynne]

Great pictures! I'm getting real excited now :cool1: I had another marathon with the ADRs today, lol. :laughing: Ok, for hopefully the last time:

9/27 Mama Melrose's
9/28 1900 Park Fare (under construction) at Grand Floridian Cafe
9/29 Liberty Tree Tavern
9/30 Ohana
10/1 Whispering Canyon
10/2 Akershus (breakfast), Chef Mickey's
10/3 Rainforest Cafe (lunch)
10/4 Crystal Palace
10/5 Coral Reef
10/6 Hoop Dee Doo Revue (had to add this one in) 9:30 show

Got rid of 50's PT, Boma's and Cap'Jack. I ended up adding Mama Melrose's cause my daughters all love italian and we didn't have a specific one yet. Wasn't sure if they'd like anything at Boma's since they are more picky.

Thanks Sandy for posting those codes. I called Disney and it does not apply to the family suite at All Star Music. I was told I could get two rooms at ASMu but after talking it over with my family we have decided we'd rather all be together in the family suite. It was worth the try though! :thumbsup2 I'm really looking forward to going in September. Right now I am eating, drinking and sleeping DISNEY :banana:

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Oh, I didn't even think about the code and your staying in the suites. Sorry you couldn't use it.

Our countdown reads 89 days! We're getting there!!!!!!!

[sandybobandy]

Happy July!!!!!!!!! One month closer! :)

[Skippy24]

Another 10 days down and only 89 to go!!

[Mickey_Lynne]

Another 10 days down and only 89 to go!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! Yep, just checked on my Disney tracker and 87 days as of this morning. :banana: :banana: :banana:

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys! Our ticker reads 86 days (we leave 9/27 for St Louis so I guess my ticker isn't really accurate for how many days til DISNEY as it is so many how many days til vacation) :)

Has anyone started packing yet? LOL!

[Mickey_Lynne]

Sandy,

Is that a picture of you and your DH? Very cute looking couple;)

LOL! Nope haven't started packing yet and I'm figuring out some loose ends I need to take care. Today I want to call Debbie at the Coral Reef about the diver/personalized menus. :thumbsup2

Confession:
I left several items in the suitcase from last year. So technically......I never unpacked everything. :) So I consider myself semi-packed!!!! Hahahaha! Every night I tease Joe and ask him if I can throw a couple pairs of socks into the suitcase. He looks at me like, "ummm....I don't *think* so". lol

Let me know how your talk with Debbie goes!! Have you seen the birthday/anniversary cake thread on the restaurants board? Looks like cakes can be delivered to the Coral Reef. Maybe something to consider. We have always gotten the anniversary castle cake but don't think we'll be able to this year since we're not eating at a GF restaurant. Something tells me we'll be okay with out it this year though. :)

Oh and one more thing-we dropped two OOP restaurants from our list. We dropped Trail's End dinner and Spoodles breakfast. We were planning on doing TE before we head over to the sing-a-long/S'mores making/campfire movie but we'll just go for that and not dinner.

[sandybobandy]

Oh and yes! That's me and Joe! :)

Good morning and Happy 4th! :)

We're doing the sing-a-long on 9/30 which is a Sunday. We're going to do a counter at Fort Wilderness, buy a S'mores pack, sing some songs with Chip & Dale and watch a movie. It sounds like so much stinkin fun! lol

P.S. I love that your ticker reads TWO months!

Thanks for the food (photos) :flower3: this will be our 1st time at H&V.:banana: I will know what to look for.:cool1:

[Rapunzel]

I'm getting excited...really excited. Less then 3 months. :banana:

I keep wanting to start shopping for essentuals but I know my hubby will think I'm nuts. I need to get things like glow sticks/bracelts for the kids, those throw away plastic sippy cups..ect. Maybe if I get them and stash them in the luggage in our storage area....:rolleyes:

[sandybobandy]

ECHO-The meatballs are our favorites at H&V along with the desserts. Can't wait to get there and fill up NUMEROUS plates. lol


Rap-I want to start shopping too!!! Haha! I want to start clothes shopping but am going to wait until the capris and stuff go on sale.

I love that everyone's ticker reads two months! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey all!

I'm having Dis withdrawals:scared: I've been busy the past couple of days trying to get some stuff together to sell for a lawnsale so I can make more $$$ for Disney! :cool1: Wanted to pop in and tell everyone I still have Disney on the brain.....all the time!!!

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Hey Lynne!!! Sorry you've been busy but it's all for a great reason-DISNEY :)

I've totally got DOTB (disney on the brain) too. Constantly. lol

We're thinking about adding Concourse Steakhouse into our ADR's but I think I read it was going to be closed...I'll have to do some research on that.

Have a great night!
Sandy

[Skippy24]

I wish the time would speed up just a little! I think i'm overly excited for this trip!!

[sandybobandy]

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well!

It's about 95 degrees out today so I'm home waiting....waiting....and waiting for Disney to get here. lol

Skippy-no such thing as being overly excited! I love that we're all so excited for our upcoming trips!

I think I told you guys about me and Joe's movie countdown? Every other week (about every 10 days) we watch a Disney movie to signify we're another 10 days closer. Tonight's film is Toy Story II. We'll probably order a pizza and watch it and then maybe watch one of the planning videos. :)

Have a great afternoon!
Sandy :)

[Rapunzel]

It's super hot here too.

My son LOVES the Toy Story movies. Buzz is his favorite "good guy" of all time. I've been trying to get both my kids excited by putting on MGM - a cartoon show on Boom or Cartoon Network (I can't remember which now) - in the mornings. :happytv:

This a great idea (the movie), we have that Disneyland board game that we can drag out.:idea: I went to the Disney store and picked up a few bargins on Friday:banana: :banana: :banana: Fun fun, so ready.

[sandybobandy]

Good morning!
Toy Story was so fun to watch last night. Can't wait to see Woody and Buzz at Mickey's Not So Scary :)


Hey-I'm wondering if anyone here has used Tour Guide Mike? I've read so many differing point of views and am just wondering if any of you has used it and what you thought if you had...

Have a great day!!

[Echo queen]

I will be using TGM for my upcoming trip, I have not had any problems navigating the site. His plans sound pretty good, I will see soon:banana: :banana: :banana: Yes, I said soon.:cool1: :cool1:

[sandybobandy]

Good to know! Maybe I'll give it a try then. I just didn't know if it'd be worth it since there are so little crowds during the time we'll be there. :)

[Echo queen]

I do realize that the crowds will be low during that time:wizard: but due to my dis-disease to know all things disney:teacher: , I had to get it. I look through my passporter everyday to:cool1: .

[Rapunzel]

So you definatly think TGM is worth it? I've been thinking of buying a subscription...

I just made the final payment for our trip!!! :dance3: What happens now? :wizard:

[Echo queen]

Ok, not definatly :3dglasses because I have not used it as of yet. I just love all the disney info I can find:surfweb:

[sandybobandy]

::does the CONGRATS you paid off your trip dance:: :cool1: :cool1:

We'll be doing that next week. Yahooooooooooo!

[Rapunzel]

Do they send me anything fun now that we've paid it off? :rotfl:


I'm waiting for Paypal to refund me for a bogus eBay purchase - maybe I'll use a bit of that $ to check out TGM. I did buy the Unofficial guide to Disney World - and have read that cover - cover.

You see, I'm "in charge". In charge of planning this trip for the 7 of us. My mom, brother and SIL as well as my hubby and kids are all depending on me to pick the best parks on the best days...the best resturants that will give us the most "bang for our buck" on the DDP. I'm feeling the pressure! :scared:

Yeah maybe I will check out TGM...lol. Then I can feel all high and mighty when everyone has a fantastic time. I'll secretly be thanking TGM, but my family will think I'm the master of Disney Trips and invite me along for every trip they decide to take...:cool2:

Hmmmm...I don't *think* so, but I could be wrong. A little bit closer to arrival we'll all get the luggage tags and such but I don't think we get anything quite yet. You let me know if I'm wrong though! :)

Ahh yes...you are the tour guide :) THE tour guide. lol I'm sure you'll do great and everyone is going to be so impressed. Have you posted your ADR's? I might have to go back and snoop and look.

Let me know what you think of TGM. I've read sooo many mixed reviews on him! I too like to know everything I can about Disney. However, we didn't use him last year and did everything we wanted to do within a reasonable amount of time. We got to MGM at rope drop and had read here on the Dis to go on ToT and get fast passes for RnR (since I don't do either ride, I got the fast pass for Joe). We never waited for any rides.

The only time we do Magic Kingdom is during MNSS and last year all rides were walk on. Seriously-we never had to wait for any ride.

We don't really enjoy AK so we've skipped that the last couple years.

And at Epcot, we've done the Segway tour that is at 7:45am and then hit the world showcase afterwards. The park starts to clear around 2 or 3 which is when we do rides with minimal wait times.

So now the more I talk about it, the less I think I need TGM. :) Then again, it's just me and Joe so it's pretty easy to get around. I'm sure when we have kiddos I'll look for the extra help!

[nooneshome]

100 more for us!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[Skippy24]

I hope everyone is doing well today! I have question for thoes who have gone in Sept/Oct before. Do you recommend bringing rain ponchos? Our last two trips were in Nov and on the 1st trip we needed them once and never on the second, but I don't know what to expect rain wise for this time of year. Thanks for your help!!

[sandybobandy]

Hey Skip!
I remember needing a poncho ONCE last year while we were at the MK. We had it on literally for about 6 minutes and didn't wear them again the rest of the trip. It rained in the middle of the night I remember but not during the day. And remember, the Florida rainshowers aren't normal rainshowers-when they say scattered, they mean scattered! lol I mean, you could be over at Frontierland, we could be in Fantasyland and it's pouring and you wouldn't even know it! :)

[sandybobandy]

My turn to dance!!!!

JUST MADE FINAL PAYMENT!!!!

:banana: :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :dance3:

[Rapunzel]

YAY Congrats!

I think I'm going to grab some Dollar Tree ponchos. I do know that somewhere we have some Ponchos we had to buy at a Dave Matthews Band Concert a few years ago. Not sure where those would be though...

I plan on using the Dollar Tree for my Disney essentuals headquarters! :rotfl:

[sandybobandy]

Thanks! You gave me the motivation to get mine paid off too. Maybe we'll receive our final documents on the same day!! :)

Dollar tree ponchos are a great idea. No need to spend the $15 or whatever on a Mickey poncho you'll wear for 8 minutes :) I'll have to hit up my local $ store too. You're full of great ideas! lol

Have a great night!

[Skippy24]

Thanks, I will have to hit up my Dollar Tree as well. I usually get them at Target, but I think Dollartree would be slightly less.

Congrats to those of you who have paid off your trips!!! It's an awesome feeling!! :wizard:

[Skippy24]

I just wanted to point out that we're down another 10 days. So it's already been 20 days since I first posted this!!!! :cool1: :yay:

So only 79 days to go for me!!!

[sandybobandy]

Hiya Skip! Yahooooo for another 10 days down! :) Our countdown reads 77 days but that includes our two travel days so we're "really" at 79 til we get to Disney just like you! I'm suuuuuuuper excited and just wanna get there already! :)

[pluto's fan]

97 days and counting.....:cool1:

:banana: Double digits finally:banana:


:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[Echo queen]

77 days :dance3: :dance3: We are getting there.:teacher:

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey guys....I've been busy selling stuff to make some money...hehe. :thumbsup2 I'm at 77 days too!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: I can't wait!!

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

OH MY GOODNESS! I miscounted! We're at 76 days til we leave, 78 days til arrival....I think.

Lynne-aren't you arriving on the 29th as well? I can't keep up! lol

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey Sandy! :goodvibes

No, we are arriving on the 27th! :cool1: According to my Disney tracker it says 77 days if it's accurate. We were origionally going to take Amtrak but decided to fly with Jetblue. None of us have ever flown before so I'm a little nervous but excited that we'll be there in 3 hours! So by 9:30 am on the 27th we should be there!

Mickey_Lynne:dance3:

[sandybobandy]

Ohhhhh okay! :)

Are you doing pretty well with selling stuff for the trip? Joe and I just put a ton of stuff up on Ebay so we're hoping for some extra $$! :)

Wow-only 3 hours, huh? Not bad!! I've been scared of flying since I was about 10 so thankfully I love love love to drive. There's nothing like driving through Tennessee on a foggy morning with the one you love! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Yeah I have a bunch of collectible stuff that was taking over my house so I am depleting and making some money. I haven't had to list anything on Ebay yet as I just have been selling to interested buyers so far. Have you gotten all your details done for the trip? I still have some loose ends to tie up. I'd like to get most things done by the end of this month. Is your trip paid yet? Our isn't but I want to make the final payment soon. I can't believe how quickly it's coming. I mean, it's almost August and then we can technically say it's next month right??? ;)

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

That's awesome! So glad you've got buyers interested in your collectables.

Yep, I think we've got most things set. We are actually considering doing the House of Blues gospel brunch on Sunday morning on the 30th. The menu sounds too tasty to pass up! :) And yup-we made our final payment last night. What a fun feelin!

Darn right next month we can say we're going "next month"! I keep looking for little milestones to mark the time passing. Later this month my mom and I are traveling to Iowa for my neice's dedication, then my birthday is August 10the (I'll be the big 2-5!) and then it's the MN State Fair the last weekend of August (big deal around here!) and then it's September and then it's time to go! lol So ya see...it's right around the corner :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Yeah the ONLY downside for me is that I will be back at work when we go on our trip. So I kinda have to wish my summer vacation away to get to my trip! I work in a school. Happy upcoming birthday. 25 is a good age. This January I will be turning the big 40!!! At least I can say I went to DW before I turned 40.....lol. And it sounds like a good reason to go back, "hunny, since I'm 40....."
:rotfl:

[sandybobandy]

Hello everyone!
I had DOTB (Disney on the brain) all day today. Wishing I was at MGM, wishing I was at Yachstman, wishing I was at DTD....you name it, I wished it! lol
Is anyone doing anything Disney related this weekend? We're going over our Disney budget (not much has changed, we just like talking about it. lol) but that's about it.

Have a great weekend!
Sandy :)

[Rapunzel]

My sons Disney crocs from eBay came today! :cool1: My daughter is THROWING a fit because she didn't get any. :sad2:

I think I might hit up the disney store this weekend for some Disney Dollars...but thats about it. :)

[Echo queen]

I just ordered that book Kingdom Keepers on Amazon:surfweb: Someone mentioned it on another tread. I will read it with my boys as part of our summer reading program, I think they will find it quite interesting:rolleyes1 they are 12 and 9.

[sandybobandy]

I read that book not too long ago! It was interesting for sure! :)

Am still loving the tickers getting lower and lower! :)

Oh and I decided that I'm going to create a photo scavenger hunt for me and Joe to do while we are there! Most of it will be stuff to find in the parks but I'm going to do some DTD and some resort stuff too. Sould be good fun! :)

Have a great Sunday night!
Sandy

[Rapunzel]

78 days or 1894 hours or 113643 minutes till our airplane takes off! :cool1:

[sandybobandy]

Do you think any of you guys/any of us would be interested in trying to organize some kind of mini-meet and do an Illuminations or Wishes cruise? I just saw it mentioned. Splitting the cost would greatly reduce the price I would imagine.
Let me know and I'll do some research.


Boy...what I wouldn't give to be eating a Mickey bar on Main St right now! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

It does sound interesting. Our group is a party of 6. Find out about either of those cruises and let me know.

Mickey_Lynne

[Rapunzel]

Ohh that might be fun!! We're a party of 7 (1 is under 3 though). 5 Adults - 1 5yr old, 1 2yr old.

Depending on the cost I'd definatly be interested.

[sandybobandy]

Hey!
Okay, so I called Disney recreation and the most people the biggest boat can hold is 10. Just between the three of us, we have 15 :) so I don't think that could work. I did ask for a couple of random dates (9/30 and 10/3) and there was currently no Illuminations cruise available for those dates (it didn't occur to me to ask them to check if a Wishes cruise is available too). Oh and the cost for the cruise including tax, the driver, and snacks was around $275.

Sooooo...I'm not sure where this info puts us since we couldn't all do it together and I know we all have our itineraries pretty well set.

If you have any ideas let me know.

Another thought is we can do some other type of mini meet at a park or resort or something. I'd love a "99 days to go" group picture! :)

[Rapunzel]

I talked to DH and he's interested, however - he thinks it would be better if we went without the kiddos.

So - It would probably just be DH and I and we'll send the kids with Grandma, Uncle "Ick" (There IS a story behind that :rotfl: ) and Auntie K.

We'll be there the 3rd - 10th - I don't think the 3rd would work for us.

[sandybobandy]

Well that would put us at 10 which is perfect. I know Joe and I for *sure* are unable to do this on 10/1,10/2, and 10/4 since we have stuff that just can't be moved around. So maybe 10/5 will work? That's our Epcot day so it'd work quite well for us.

I'm not entirely sure what we can work out....Maybe I'll call Disney and ask for availability during our time frame and see what I can find out. I'll do that right now....


Now-let's hear the story about Uncle Ick! lol

[Rapunzel]

I was going to post it in the trip report under "Cast" but - well since I doubt my trip report will rock I'll tell ya! :lol:

My brother's name is Rick. For the LONGEST time Parker (my son) would call him "Uk" then one random day we were visiting and Parker says in the clearest voice (at the age of 2) "HI UNCLE ICK!" So...he's been Dubbed Uncle Ick. Parker can now say "Uncle Rick" but he tells his sister to call him "Uncle Ick". :upsidedow

[Echo queen]

This sounds like a good idea, we would be a party of 4 me,dh, ds's 9 & 12. If there is a party of 6, or 4 and 2:teacher: , lets chat. Sandy can you post or pm me the phone#, I have not came across it in my passorter yet.

Dis meet sounds great.:grouphug:

[sandybobandy]

I just called and on October 5th (Friday) they had the large 10 person boat available for Illuminations so I grabbed it!

I'm *really* hoping that'll work out for us. I don't want anybody to feel left out so let's see what we can work out!!! I have until 24 hours prior to the cruise to cancel.

[sandybobandy]

Here's the description of the cruise compliments of allearsnet.com

Want to see Epcot's IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth spectacular in style? Consider renting the Breathless from the Yacht and Beach Club Marina or a Pontoon boat from either the YC/BC Marina or the Boardwalk Marina!

Pontoon Boats -- Another option for an IllumiNations cruise is a 24-foot pontoon boat, which seats 10 comfortably. The pontoon has a canopy, is roomier, and has some drink holders. When you rent either boat, it belongs to your party for the show; meaning the only people there will be the ones you've invited! The price for a pontoon IllumiNations Cruise starts at $234.74 + tax, for a maximum of 12 people (10 adults). Cost includes a driver, bagged snacks (pretzels, chips, popcorn), water and Coke products. Other food and beverage items are available through Yacht Club Private Dining at 407-934-3160. You may not bring your own food or beverages on board.



Eeeks! Too! Excited! To! Think! lol

[Rapunzel]

Awesome!!!!

I don't have my plans sitting in front of me, but I do belive the 5th will work for us.

Did they say how much it is + tax? If 10 of us go it should be less then $30/person right? Sounds awesome!

[sandybobandy]

Good morning!!!!!

As long as the boat is filled up, the cost is $27.50 per person. :)

I have to get off to work. Will check back later-hopefully the others will let me know if this'll work for them too.

Have a magical day! (so cheesy-lol)

Sandy :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey Sandy,

That date would work perfect for us too. We are planning to be at Epcot that night cause we have Coral Reef ressies at 4:00. What time does the cruise start? Let me talk with my hubby and family later and maybe I can get our numbers down. Mom and my teenage daughters might not care if they can do it or not but I have a feeling my youngest daughter will want to be with mommy. So we may only have 3. Let me talk it over with them later and get back to you for sure. OK?

Mickey_Lynne:)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hey Echo queen!

I like our unison tickers! What time are you getting there on the 27th? We are supposed to be arriving around 9:30 am. Are you flying? We are.

We will be flying Delta, arrival 5pm on the 28th.:cool1: :cool1:

[Echo queen]

Is anyone interested in doing the Wishes cruise Magic Kingdom? Same description as the Illuminations, it's $225 including tax for a party of 8. $28.12 per person we are a party of 4. The whole week is open 10/29 to 10/05 and we are open with our dates.:rolleyes1

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hmmm....one of our tickers is a day off! LOL.

[Echo queen]

Hmmm....one of our tickers is a day off! LOL.


:rolleyes1

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys! Busy day with the pups (I work at a doggy daycare) and I didn't get a chance to pop on.

Lynne-So glad the 5th may work for you! I remembered you were at Epcot that day too :) And yup, just let me know where you're at with numbers whenever you know.

I think I'm going to have to get a ticker-I'm feeling left out! lol

Echo-Lemme talk to Joe about the Wishes cruise!

ETA: I got a ticker! It's the same as a few of yours but only because we have two travel days before Disney. We arrive at ASMu on 9/29 :)

[Echo queen]

My WDW customized maps arrived yesterday:banana: They are really niceprincess:

[Skippy24]

Wow! Sounds like you guys are planning some fun activites! We're still trying to decide weather to go to MNSSHP on 10/5. But I did want to point out that we're almost down another 10 days.:cool1: :banana:

[sandybobandy]

Hey Skip!

Yay! Tomorrow we'll be in the 60's! :)

[Skippy24]

Ok I know i'm a little early, but I just placed my future order with garden grocer. :) I'm just so excited I couldn't wait any longer. :rotfl:

[Rapunzel]

OHHH I need to sit down with my brother, SIL and mom to figure out what they want from Garden Grocer. I plan on making 1 big order and splitting the delivery fee between us. :)

[sandybobandy]

Garden Grocer? Never heard of it! I assume it's a grocery delivery service? With all the eating we're doign on the dining plan I'm not sure we'll need it but it's worth looking into! :)


OH! Joe and I booked the House of Blues gospel brunch this morning for Sunday 9/30! I'm so excited. I hear great things about it and am really looking forward to it.

According to my countdown, we're at 69 days! Yahooooo! :)

[Skippy24]

Yep, it's a grocery delivery service. We arn't on the dining plan and with two kids it's easier to have something ready in the room and things that you can take with you to the parks for that all of a sudden I need a drink or a snack.

This is my first time using them, but i've heard good things. On our first trip I shipped out stuff, big hassle and expensive shipping. Second trip I only brought a few things with us, but I found that I did alot of running between our room and the hotel store to get stuff. So I'm hopeing this works out well for us.

Forgot to add...

WOO HOO! Down to 69 days!! It's getting closer!!!!:banana:

[sandybobandy]

Hello everyone!!! Hope you guys had a good weekend! Our was fine. Went to a baseball game, bought a brand new camera for the trip, and watched Toy Story II as a part of our Disney '07 countdown. :)

Have a great rest of the weekend!

[Echo queen]

Good weekend hear, I just spent a boat load of $$$ on back to school:sad1: :scared: We are enjoying the Kindom Keeper book.:coffee:

67 days yeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa:dance3:

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys!

Am just re-finalizing our itinerary and am hoping those that expressed interest (Echo, Rapunzel, and Mickey_Lynne) could let me know where you are in the decision process? I'd love to "put it in ink" that we're doing the cruise but I understand that everyone is busy and isn't obsessing about the trip like I am! LOL!

Just let me know when you can please!

Sandy :)

[Echo queen]

Hey Sandy, I didn't think I made it in, but if I'm in that's great we are a party of 4:cool1: You can ink us in.:banana:

[sandybobandy]

Great Echo! So between you and I, we've got 6. Lynne had mentioned she'd have possibly three (two adults and one child) and Rapunzel said she'd have two. That is 11 total. I remember reading that the boat can hold up to 12 as long as there are children. I will call and confirm that! :)

[Rapunzel]

Which day/time is this for again? I just double checked our itinerary and we're doing the Coral Reef at 6:30 that night.

We may be able to swing it still if it's late enough.

[sandybobandy]

Rap-I'm at work and can't check the times, but it's on 10/5. Go a couple pages back and the info should be there :)

[Echo queen]

Hello Sandy, so are we confirmed full? For the illuminations cruise.

Thanks

[sandybobandy]

Hey Echo! Still haven't heard back from Rap or Mickey if they're in for sure, so-so far, it's the four of you and the two of us. Hopefully we'll hear from the others soon! :)

[Echo queen]

60 days:dancer:

[sandybobandy]

I'm loving the tickers reading 1 month! Yahooo! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Hi Sandy! You have a PM. I would like to do the cruise (DH, me and DD). I need some info though, like what time does it start and where do we board the boat, etc. Please let me know the specifics.

Thanks,

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

You have a PM back, Lynne!

[Mickey_Lynne]

Sandy you have another PM!

[Echo queen]

Hello Sandy, thanks so much for planning the Ill. cruise:banana:

[sandybobandy]

Good morning! It was my pleasure! Oh and Echo.....I don't mind calling you "echo", but what's your first name? :)

Have a great day ladies! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Yes I agree it will be great fun meeting you and Echo. BTW my real name is Linda but you can call me Lynne if you want to :laughing:

Echo, my youngest daughter that is coming along is 10 so she will be a good age for your 2 sons. They are 9 and 12 right?

Sandy, do I need to let you know the full names of members of our party that are going? So that way, when we get there they check our names off a list or something or do they send tickets? If the cruise is booked under your name and they don't need ours send a PM with your full name. I'll be like "Yeah, I'm going on a cruise with Sandybobandy and Echo_Queen and the guy will be like...."yeah sure lady"! :lmao:

Also, I will need your address to send payment. I do have paypal though:)

It will be very fun! :banana:

Lynne:)

I can't even put into real words how excited Joe and I are for this trip. The cruise is just icing on the already very delicious cake!!

I just spoke with Disney Tours and no tickets are sent out. We just check in with the captain at the marina. Joe and I will be sure to get there early so we can all board at the same time. I'll PM you with my name anyway though. :)

Back to work...have a great afternoon!!!

Sandy :)

[Echo queen]

[sandybobandy]

Linda, you crack me up. :)

Nice to meet you Marla! :)

Oh and just so you guys know (and this has nothing to do with you guys, I just feel like I am to share any cancellations and modifications of my trip with you-lol. We originally had chef mickey's as our last meal on 10/5 at 7:20pm but since we're doing the cruise, we moved it to the night of 9/30. Not sure what dinner will be on 10/5 since we are eating lunch at the Coral Reef at 2. We will probably do a resort meal...will keep you updated on this very important manner. lol!!

Have a wonderful day!!! Am still lovin the tickers goin down, down, down!

[Skippy24]

Hi there! I hope everyone is doing well. Our trips are getting closer and I can't believe that my counter is finally at the 1 month and 4 weeks mark. It seemed like it would never get here. But now it's getting so close. :banana: :cheer2:

[Mickey_Lynne]

Sandy send me a PM with your paypal address and your name so I can pay you for the cruise!

BTW, do you know how far it is to get over to the marina from Epcot? Can you get there by foot?

Mickey_Lynne:)

[sandybobandy]

Hey Skippy! :)


Just sent you a PM, Linda! :)

[Lil ole moi]

99 sleeps left for DBF and I and we (okay, me) are so excited!!!! Hurry up November 7th :yay:

I have been waiting for day to say I am going to WDW next month.:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys-incase you haven't heard a bridge in Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi tonight. I travel this bridge daily. Thankfully, everyone in my family and Joe's family are accounted for. We're completely shaken at the devastation that is going on downtown.

Please send any extra positive thoughts towards Minneapolis!

[Echo queen]

Sandy I'm glad to hear you and your family are ok, this is the first I have heard about this.:surfweb: I hope no one was injured:confused: Sending thoughts and prayers to your area I'll have to catch the news tonight.

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys,
What a day. The city is so quiet and eerie. We live about 15 minutes from the bridge that collapsed and it's so hard to see such a prominent part of the city gone. It really puts life into perspective. I guess it's just too bad that it takes such a tragedy to do so.

Hug your families tight!

[Echo queen]

Hey Sandy, I did get a chance to see the magnitude of this bridge collapse:scared1: How scary, I35 is the main corridore through my area too (TX) so your just up the road from me.:surfweb: :grouphug:

[Skippy24]

My thoughts are with the families who lives have forever been changed and here's some positive thoughts being sent that way!!:wizard: :grouphug:

[Skippy24]

Wow alot has changed since my last post. We might have to cancel our trip. Everything in our house is falling apart at the same time, my oven isn't working properly, two of our tv's and now it's my A/C it needs a new condenser. How can I spend the money on a vacation when so much needs to be repaired. I'm feeling very guilty right now because what i've spent on the trip could more than pay for everything. I'm not sure what we will end up doing i'm just so upset I had to post about it. Thanks for listening!

[Doc CW]

Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the brigde collapse :grouphug:

[sandybobandy]

Oh no-that's terrible!. :( I really, really hope you don't need to cancel your trip. Any chance if it comes down to it you could just postpone it a month or something? Ugh. When it rains, it pours, doesn't it.

[sandybobandy]

7 weeks!!!!!!! That's all we have left, you guys!

My birthday is next Friday. And then there'll be 6 weeks!!!!!!!!

We just added the Concourse Steakhouse breakfast for the morning of 10/2. The steak and eggs sounded too good to pass up.

Have a wonderful weekend!!:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[Skippy24]

Thanks! DH is trying to convice me that we shouldn't cancel the trip and just take care of one thing at a time and eventually it will all be taken care of. It does make sence especially since our vacation is already paid for. But i'm still feeling guilty.

The fact that it's paid for is like :banana: :banana: :banana: OK, just relax, relate, release (3 RRR's) and don't let that guilty put a damper:guilty: on your trip.:grouphug:

[sandybobandy]

Happy Sunday!

Joe and I stayed up last night until a little after 11 talking about our trip. When we had originally booked it, I was at my old job. Well a month ago I accepted the position at the doggy daycare and took a significant paycut. We're paying this trip with cash and as we continue to add things (like the concourse breakfast, chef mickey's, etc) we forget that I'm not making the same kind of money! lol!! So, we're just thinking about modifying some things but not too much.

Anyway, have a great day today!!! The tickers are looking awesome! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Gee Whiz I haven't been around for about a week and things are falling to pieces. My heart goes out to those involved in the bridge incident and I'm sooooo glad that you and your family are all safe Sandy! ((((Sandy)))) Also, I'm sorry to hear about the financial troubles you are experiencing Skippy. I hope you will be able to enjoy your trip!

On the upside, yes we are now in August so I can't believe it is next month!!!
Woooohoooooo!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Mickey_Lynne

[sandybobandy]

Hi Linda!

Thank you for your well wishes. The city is slowly returning to normal. It's still surreal. Joe's company's parking lot is being used as a command center so he's got the FBI, fire marshalls, national guard, along with helicopters all over the place. George (Bush) was here yesterday and it's a little weird how he came such a short amount of time after the tragedy but it took him forever to get to Louisianna. Ah well-guess that's a whole 'nother topic. :)

My countdown here at home says 52 days!!! Can't believe we'll be in the 40's soon. Then the 30's, then the 20's, then holy crap the teens! lol

Have a great day!

[RJD]

Skippy, I can relate. We had a Disney cruise planned for this past Feb. I was sooo excited. Had never even cruised before. However, last fall we started home renovations, got involved with an AWFUL contractor, basically a crook IMO :headache: , and had to hire someone else to fix the absolute mess this guy made of our house. So needless to say the project cost WAAAY more than it was supposed and we had to make the decision to cancel the cruise while we could still get our deposit back. It was a big disappointment :sad1: . But our trip was not paid for at the time. If your trip is already paid, you might as well go and enjoy yourself. Because it seems like something always comes up. I still wonder if should've just gone on the cruise, but I think we made the right decision. Anyway, we are now heading down to WDW in 3 weeks with the free dining, staying at Sports. Much cheaper than the cruise and we are all (me, DH, and 2 DS's) very happy to be able to go.

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys, me again! :)

Is anyone planning on decorating their window at all? I think I might head out to Michael's or Party City to see if I can find window decals to decorate our room window with :cool1:

[sandybobandy]

Hmmmm....where is everyone? ...or maybe I'm the only obsessed one. lol

Hope you guy are well!

50 days!

[Echo queen]

You are not aloneprincess: I'm always on here looking for good info.
Like the directions to the camp fire songs, movie and smores:cool2: found them.:woohoo:
Have a great day:wizard:

[sandybobandy]

Howdy Marla! Which night are you doing the campfire again? We're doing it the night of the 30th but won't be able to stay long since we have a Chef Mickey's ressie that night.
:)

[Echo queen]

Ok, it's looking like Thurs 10/4 we have dinner at Whispering canyon around 6pm, then we will go over there.:surfweb:

[sandybobandy]

I got excited there for a sec-we're at Whispering Canyon on 10/4 too but for breakfast. :) That breakfast skillet is calling my name!!!!!!

[sandybobandy]

49 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana:

[Skippy24]

Thanks everyone!!! We are going to keep the trip, since it is all paid for. I am still very excited about it and was totally crushed at the thought of cancelling it. Because I deserve a vacation, as we all do and sometimes when you are away from a situation for a while it looks better when you return. Atleast thats my hope!

So i'm back to not believeing how close it finally is!:banana: :yay: :banana:

[sandybobandy]

That's EXCELLENT news!! I'm so happy for you guys! :)

[Mickey_Lynne]

Have any of you received your luggage tags or anything else from Disney yet? We have been all paid up for about a month now and haven't received anything :confused3

Hey there!

Actually, I don't think they're sent out until 20-30 days prior to arrival so don't worry quite yet-we haven't gotten ours either.
:)

[Skippy24]

Hi Sandybonandy,

You said on an earlier post that Friday is your b-day, so I just wanted to say ahead of time.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you!!! I hope it's a great one!!!:banana: :cool1: :cheer2:

[Skippy24]

Ok since my counter is down to only 51 days, I was just wondering how early does everyone start packing? It's become a joke around here that i'm packed 6 months in advance. Even though it's actually more like 2 weeks. :rotfl:

So I was wondering what everyone else does.

[BamaFan121s]

Woo-hoo! 99 days for me too! I hate triple digits!

[sandybobandy]

Skippy, I have a confession. I am still semi packed from last year (!!!!) LOL! My thinking was, that if I don't unpack, it means I'm definitely going back. Seems to have worked! :)

Anyway, we leave here for St Louis on 9/27 so I"ll probably start packing 9/21 or 9/22. Just remember not to pack stuff you need to early! Haha!

[Skippy24]

Ok now I don't feel so bad for wanting to take out the luggage now and start making my list and buying all the little things that we will need.:rotfl:

[sandybobandy]

You take that luggage out and you make that list! Haha! I'll do the same :)

I'm off to "do" my birthday-you guys have a great day!

(Is it weird that I don't feel 25?) :)

[Skippy24]

I hope you're having a great birthday!!:wizard:

[Echo queen]

Happy Birthday Sandy:wizard: :wizard: :cheer2: :cheer2: :flower3:

[sandybobandy]

Awww thanks guys! I had a really wonderful day. When we got home from dinner, Joe had one last surprise. It was The Little Mermaid Platinum Edition 2-Disc movie and the card that he gave me was one of those musical cards that play songs when you open it. Can you guess the song? Under the Sea! It is so cute! :)

Have a great weekend!!

[sandybobandy]

Is it bad that when I see new "Happy Dance" posts that are like "WE'RE IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS" I want to congratulate them but then dance myself because we're only in the 40's? :)

[Skippy24]

Not at all! It's just a reminder of how far we've come and how close we're getting!!!:cool1:

[Echo queen]

I'm sitting here watching the WDW magical gathering cd and playing with my new slim line digital camera, of course I had to get a new smaller one for this trip thanks to my DH:love:

Just say 45 days:woohoo: I should know how to use it by then:scared:

Oooh new digital camera, huh? Sounds nice! We can't wait to use our new camera too.

44 days left! I think we're officially at the point of no return-don't cancellations have to be made 45 days or more? Well either way, I'm still verrrry excited :)

[Skippy24]

Welcome! I assume you can call the normal number (407) W DISNEY. Or even the 800 828 0228 (disney travel center) should work. Let me know if it works!!

[Mickey_Lynne]

Morning Sandy:)

Well I tried for the code but I would of had to change my dates. Which would of meant trying to change flights, dinner ressies, more time off from school etc. It wasn't worth it. The code only works if I am arriving on Sept. 30th or anyday after that. But that is ok, I'd much rather arrive on Sept. 27th!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooohoooooooo! :banana:

Well dang. Was hoping you'd be able to use it. I guess you could always book the discount for the dates valid and then do a separate room only ressie for the first three nights, but that might get kinda complicated.

Got my Disney tank top from Disney Shopping today! It's so cute-can't wait to wear it! :)

[Skippy24]

I have a question. Is it between 30-40 days or 20-30 that you should typically receive your documents? I can't remember and i'm wondering if it's these next 10 days that I will be checking for the mail every 10 min. :rotfl:

[Rapunzel]

I actually called the other day because I assumed that when I paid it off i would recieve something and I havn't.

The CM told me that they send out ME tags and final documents 2-3 weeks before you arrive. So anywhere from 28-21 days before you leave they'll be mailed. Hope this helps!

I'm still in the 40's! :( LOL

[sandybobandy]

Yep, that's what I remember-about 20-25 days prior to arrival they send everything out. Although, I"m not sure about ME since we've never needed to use it.

Can you believe we'll be in the 30's tomororw???

[Rapunzel]

I think we FINALLY have all of our dining done. I changed the last one last night. Tell me what you guys think - Remember we're traveling with my mom, my brother and SIL (who are fish eating vegetarians) and me, my hubby and 2 kiddos.

99 days 12 hours...but who's counting? :banana: :woohoo: :yay: :cheer2: Sorry, just a little excited.

[Echo queen]

It's so cute how we have 39 days to go and the new 99 day people are chimming in :rotfl2: :rotfl2: We will keep this tread alive for at least 39 more days. Maybe it will live on for the next group of 99 dayer. :dance3:

Thanks Skippy for creating this place to share excitment up until our trip.:flower3:

I've been thinking the same thing!!! I love how this little thread that just started with a couple of us has turned into something for everyone just hitting double digits can enjoy.

I too thank you Skippy! Bet you had no idea we'd all be chatting this long. "Being" with you guys has totally made Joe and I more and more excited for this trip. Can't believe how quickly it's coming up. Let's just hope the time there goes MUCH slower!!!!!

[MsPlutoNJ]

I had to double check my counter at first. I couldn't figure out how my counter was telling me that I should be at 99 days and I leave at the end of November and you guys were at 99 days and leaving in October. Not soon enough will I be at the 40 something numbers. :woohoo:

Wooohooooo, :woohoo: Woohooooo, :woohoo: it's my birthday, it's my birthday! :lmao: NOT REALLY, but I did just get the Magical Express luggage tags and ME voucher so it may as well be :cool1:

Has anyone else received theirs yet? I can't believe on 38 days to go!! :dance3:

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited you got your first packet! Just wait til the Disney-Disney packet comes. THAT is the fun one. lol

[Skippy24]

Congrats!!! Hopefully we will all start receiving ours soon. :cool1:

Which means that it really is almost here!!!!:cheer2: :cheer2:

Ok I have to admit I kind of started packing already. Since were having things like cereal, milk & snacks delivered to the room so i've packed up disposable bowls and spoons, plus assorted size baggies so that I can fill them with snacks to take to the parks for my kiddos. GEE! How will I ever wait the next 25 days to pack everything else....:rotfl2:

Hahaha! I knew it was comin, Skip! You mentioned packing not too long ago-it was only a matter of time. :)

Honestly though it's a good idea to get that type of stuff packed now so you can worry about the nitty gritty clothes and sunscreen and stuff like that when the time comes.

Hmmmm....makes me wanna throw a few things in my overnight bag! lol

[Skippy24]

You are so right! But i'm betting that I have everything but the clothes packed withing the next 10 days! :rotfl2:

[sandybobandy]

Ooooh look at the tickers!!!! :)

[Skippy24]

We're getting down to days here!!!:woohoo: :yay:

[Rapunzel]

I have a bag stashed in my Laundry room that has some things that we'll need on our trip. I've thought about actually packing packing, but we're still 41 days out! :lol:

[sandybobandy]

Alright, it's time to start getting to the nitty gritty for my "surprises" for Joe!

I need to really sit down and compile my scavenger hunt list and I definitely need to narrow down my choice of which restaurants I'll order a cake for since we'll be there for our anniversary.

I think I'll wait to clothes shop after Labor Day incase there are some sales.

It's going to be realllly weird to see our tickers not read "month" anymore!!

[Mickey_Lynne]

I can't believe how close we're getting now to our trip :hourglass

What I need to do now, is get the pictures together and email them for the Coral Reef Restaurant menu! :yay:

I haven't started packing yet, but do need to do some shopping and pick up some stuff I'll need. I may need to buy some more luggage too!

I called up today and confirmed all my dinner ressies.

Next Monday I start work again, I work in a school :teacher: but that means it's getting closer!
