After weeks of passing around colds we have all been feeling great this week, now my DD is not feeling good again. At least its this week and not next week. 5 days!

Holy crap! 1 MORE DAY!

My wife has laundry pretty much done and is packing today. DD2 is going to spend the night at my mom's so we can finish things up tomorrow while DD1 is in school. I need to make a stop at the bank for quarters and pennies and stop at the grocery store for bread since we seem to have forgotten that.

I may need a sedative tonight to sleep.

Mildly concerned about the crowd levels and no idea how to prep for the weather. I know that we may wind up in the Ursula building despite the request not to and won't be able to change if we do wind up there since AoA is sold out. Anyone know if the humidity has made it feel warm and sticky or is it nice during the day? It's a good thing we're driving because we're packing for warm and cold.

Gotta let that stuff go and just have fun and roll with whatever comes about. Getting into the new stuff would be great but it's not going to wreck the trip if I can't. This is all about the kids and making sure THEY have a great time and a wonderful memory.

Ok, question for the DISers...

Would you prefer a list of pressed coin locations like this:

A map of pressed coin locations like this:

or just hit them where you see them?

We loved just squealing when we saw one and picking out our favourite from each machine... we brought 30 coins worth of change and it was NOT enough! :3

Finally got the video off the iPad and on to YouTube -- here's our big reveal!

Our oldest was very excited, our middle daughter was tired and apparently thirsty, lol... They are 7 and 3, so I expected our 7 year old to be more into it anyway.

Woohoo for technology!

I was looking at a bunch of files that I wanted to bring along with me on the trip and was thinking about printing them and then realized, wait a minute, I can save these onto my iPhone and have them electronically.

No need to waste all of that paper and toner. I've got our confirmations, our schedule, hours the park is open and the map of the coin machines all on my phone. That can also easily be accessed through my iPad, although I won't be bringing that to the park.

I haven't posted much on this thread, but I'm so excited I'm leaving in two days!

I just checked the weather and it seems to be similar to what it is here-cold in the morning and evening, and perfect in the afternoon.

My husband and I just packed our bags and are taking a little breather before we start with the kids' clothes. We decided to just skip the shorts all together and pack jeans/pants so we don't have to change, but we're bringing layers of thin long sleeved tops, sweaters, and jackets.

Tomorrow, we'll pack up all the electronics and toiletries that we don't need for Saturday morning. I also need to go through and decide what paperwork to take, if any. I think I can find most everything on my phone.

Well we are here!! Went into MK last night in a attempt to adjust our body clock! By the time we went to bed we'd been up for 21 hours! We're getting up shortly to head back into MK for EMH. We picked up our Photopass plus, went straight on buzz to use it! Did people mover, dumbo, barnstormer, pooh bear & small world so a good start! Have a good day everyone!

How are the crowds and weather? have a great time.

Good Morning Everyone!!

It's so great to read about everyone's final preparations and/or their first days at WDW. I'm so genuinely happy for everyone who has gone, is there or is just about to go! Let me just say it has been a pleasure to be a part of a thread that has been so friendly and fun! All the best to all of you!

Yes, what you may miss out on will not matter at all. Your girls are going to have such a great time...and you'll have such a great time being a part of that. Hope you got some sleep last night.

Glad you checked in with us before you left. Sounds like you are ready. Have a wonderfully magical trip

Good morning!! Just got up! Leaving in less than 2 hours!!!! Hope you all have wonderful vacations!

Thank you all for helping me out and helping me to enjoy the planning process even more! You guys made this trip even more exciting just by being on here!

We're all going to Disney World!!!!!! Enjoy!!

Well we did MVMCP last night - we really didn't get our money's worth - we were just so tired!! I think that it was a mistake doing it so soon after our arrival! We did have a wander through new fantasyland - did Ariels grotto and VOTLM - I loved that ride - so colourful and I love the songs! We had a pork shank and lefous brew! Pork was gorgeous!

We'd had breakfast at crystal palace which was great and did loads of rides - some of which were new to us as a family - did big thunder mountain and splash mountain which was the first time out youngest was tall enough!

I have to say I'm loving Photopass plus - it's great to have the ride photos put on the card!

Chef mickey this morning!

10 days for us! Just did online check in! So excited!

Sounds like everyone there is having a great time. Hope everyone leaving soon has safe travels and lots of fun!
