I'm taking my boys shopping on Saturday and will mail their packages on Monday.

We live in California and I think if we drove it would take the whole time just to get there...not to mention how much more expensive...:rotfl: Plus, the "Road Trip" we are doing is set for next summer.:car: :sunny:

I just don't know if we should buy tickets NOW...or wait a few days...there is just no good way to know...:surfweb:

My wife is the one that sent that, those are the popcorn buckets, we use them as large mugs too though...LOL, the handles should have been in the bottom of the box, they wouldn't fit unless I took them off, if they aren't there let us know and I'll check around where they were packed and make sure we didn't leave them behind.

[sbpuckett]

Yep - they were there - sorry I left them off the list:) We have one from WDW but I don't think it had any characters on it like that... he loved it all- Thanks again!!

[Evita_W]

I am so glad you son liked everything! :cool1: I hope his summer is the best!:woohoo:

BTW...the fare search went well and we have our tickets for our New Year trip to WDW. The best thing is that we bought it through Delta and have a best fare guarantee in case it changes.:rolleyes1

Hope more got their vacations today!!! I love hearing what everybody got!popcorn::

Evita - glad you got the airfare worked out, I'm sure that's a relief for you:cool1:

[TiggerDad3]

No Mail Yet! popcorn::

Hmmm.... two more packages are out and both were mailed by the mail out date.. . maybe the crazy weather we've all been experiencing has slowed things down a bit...I'm expecting one from another exchange that hasn't been received yet either so we'll see. DS5 runs to the front door everyday after school - but I guess everyday makes him even more excited:)

[TiggerDad3]
