Does everyone see my ticker????

Oh yeah, that's right....

It says one month...

We are down to 31 days...

I survived the sleep over last night... Only had to come out of my room twice to tell them to BE QUIET!!!

Still no Mickey mail, but our awesome TA called and said she called on them and was told they printed Friday (the 7th) and sent Monday, so she really thought we would have them by yesterday but they didn't show so I am guessing Monday it is!!

I think we have everything we need for the trip, everyone knows I have done enough shopping... Of course the kids have gotten into a bunch of the snacks and stuff that I bought for the trip but I still think that I have enough...

Last night Alec received 40 dollars in I-tunes gift cards, so he has been busy buying new games and stuff for his I-touch... That will keep him busy on the flight...

I am going to load my Ipod tonight, and hope Terry doesn't touch it again! Last time I had it all loaded the way I wanted it, he synced it with I-tunes and it took all my music off...

31 days!!!

All caught up ... whew!! (that's what I get for missing a few days ... )

No "magic mail" from WDW for me either - and we leave in 34 days (!!! )


My DD discovered pin trading last trip, too (only with CMs ...) and was on a mission to get all the Princess Toddler pins - she still needs Ariel and Jasmine (I just asked her ... she remembers!!) I picked up a bunch on e-bay to split between her and her cousins ... (I've created a "monster" ... ) ... grab bags ... I kept the one with the photo of Walt and Mickey on it ...

I just looked through all our pins to see if we have the ones your DD is missing, but we don't...

Tailor needs the Snow White rearview mirror pin... Then she will have the whole set... I am hoping we come across one this trip... Otherwise maybe Snow White will send it to her for Christmas... I have heard that Snow White is very nice...

So how is your son's b-day party? Going crazy yet after those boys are all hyper from that Yummy "candy bar"!

Party was good, still have 3 of the boys here, but they will all be gone in an hour... They had fun and ate candy, pizza, cupcakes, and donuts... I am surprised they were not more hyper then they were...

The countdown on my desktop reads the same as yours. I've been sitting here willing it to go faster! Although I actually still have a bunch of shopping to do!

I know what you mean about it going faster!!! Sometimes, I could have swore it went backwards on me!!! We booked our trip in January so it has been a long countdown!

I could do more shopping! but it would be all stuff we do not need! But I could always shop more... My weakness is cute clothes for Tailor...

I think you should get yours Monday, my sister called me and said she got our mickey mail today!

Your son's party sounds like it was a hit!

I hear ya on the shopping, I LOVE shopping! Even the grocery store shopping brings me happiness!

I so know what you mean... I am always excited to go grocery shopping... My friends think I am a weirdo...

I can't even believe you haven't received your Mickey Mail yet!!! We just go ours for both WL and Pop and there was even a delay in DME stuff... I wonder why yours is taking so long


Also, for us- I remember in school when I was younger that not everyone had to get an invite you just weren't allowed to hand out any form of invitation during regular school hours. During Valentine's Day you had to give everyone in the class something if you handed out anything and if a parent or guardian came to give out anything or celebrate anything IN school for a birthday, you had to make sure there was enough for everyone.

I know huh!!!! I am really hoping it is here today... If I don't hear from my TA by this afternoon I will call her... It was sent from Disney to her a week ago and I don't think it has ever taken a week to get something from them... The wait is killing me...

That is how our schools are also... Invitations must be done prior to school starting and go into your backpack...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

We are down to 29 days today!!! Tomorrow we hit 4 weeks...

We just got our mail today. I got my DME stuff several days ago, then got my mom's Disney envelope Friday, my Disney envelope today, and still have not received my mom's DME stuff. Odd.

I'm confused...Are we supposed to receive 2 different envelopes in the mail?

 

[SilverL]

Yes. If you book a Magic Your Way Package, you will receive a packet with your package information inside. If you are using DME, you will ALSO receive a packet with your DME information inside.

Ok so my sister got a package with our tags and vouchers (planet hollywood etc..) So I'm not sure which package the is and it's driving me CRAZY She is sooo Ehhhh about the trip and i"m the crazy planner. She is not excited for the trip yet. How can that be? We are soooo close! I would do this to get to WDW if i could RIGHT NOW! Sept needs to come faster!

Ok I feel better now

We got Magical Express mail!!!



Terry is working overtime today, 16 hours of it... The overtime he works this month will be direct deposited on September 15th, which of course is our departure day!!! So that will be a nice little bonus...

I am going to organize our suitcases cause they have been gone through and messed up by a certain few children...

I am thinking we will have the rest of our mickey mail by the end of the week...

We decided to per-order the photopass cd... We figured with a 2 week trip it would be worth it, and the kids loved the "magic" pictures and being able to add borders and stuff...

How does the pre-order photo pass cd work? You get the Cd with all your pics but if you order a picture from them it's extra? Or you can add the borders etc then save it and take it to be printed out somewhere else?

If you pre-order the cd you save 50 dollars... It cost 99.95

You go to any Photopass photographers you see and they will take your pictures then give you card, you upload the card and add any borders you want, then when you are done (and within 30 days of uploading) you order the cd and input the code you receive when you pre-order and they send you the cd with however many pictures you have and you can either print them at home or go anywhere and have them printed... We prefer Costco... The cd comes with a copyright release for the images so you shouldn't get any flack about printing them... you are just not allowed to use the pics for commercial purposes...

Hey my sista, I am excited to go, it's just a bit overwhelming to me. You have always been the planner and we always have a good time.
You just do you. It makes it hard too, because you do alot of this stuff at work. I can't do that. I can do it at home, but your always busy on the weekends to do any of this planning. So go ahead and have fun planning, I am here for the ride
Love ya!
