If it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all...Update 1/4 Evening at the Magic Kingdom

YAhoo!!!

Great plan! riding all the good stuff!!! FP the parade is fantastic so right in your face perfection! Can't wait!!!!
 
Fastpass + system is kind of odd, it was giving us some times that were the same as our lunch reservation
Yeah, FP doesn't see what else you have going on. But it is really easy to check for other times. Just go under "modify FP selections" and then "change existing FP for new selection or time." Do not cancel just one FP, or you have to go back and rebook all of them to get three again.

We have special VIP seating for the Festival of Fantasy. Do you think we could get a Fastpass for the Main Street Electrical Parade?

This confuses me, I don't understand why they have to be booked in groups of 3. If I cancel Soarin' how do I know I can get that pass again? The Tier system bothers me, because we don't want to ride that much in EPCOT. We don't ride Mission Space, or The Sum of all Thrills. I didn't even know what The Sum of All Thrills is, I had to look it up! HAHA

my thoughts are going to no. since this would be your 4th FP i am sure it would be taken?? I could be very wrong too. Who knows!!
 
This sounds like this trip will be a bright spot for your family in the midst of a bunch of bad luck. Looking forward to seeing how everything works out!
 


Yay!! Our trip is getting closer, I made this many years ago, maybe in 2009? I just pulled out my cricket and started cutting out things. I didn't have a specific plan I was just trying to help Ethan understand when we were going. After it all came together I took it up to School Box and they laminated it for me so it has been durable enough to use for several trips. I cut out more black Mickey Heads and then we just tape them over the numbers to cover them up. When I first created it, every time we got to a black Mickey Head we had a family Movie night, so the last family movie night was the night before our trip. I hope to do that again, but I will have to ask the kids what our first movie should be.

I still have a "To Do" list for our trip

Buy Henry's Ticket, and make fast passes for him
Fix a couple ADR's, our Breakfast ADR for Cape May Cafe is at 7:40 am and it is only for 4 people, so I need a slightly later time with 5 people
Our Lunch ADR at Primetime Cafe is also only for 4 people, so we need to fix that.

I would like to make some special t-shirts for our trip, for our DHS day I had a really cute idea that I hope I can manage.
I want to make Villian Shirts for everyone in the family, Some of the villians are pretty tricky to sew. We will see

I also want to make some of these shoes to wear around the hotel room

You buy the kit at Hobby Lobby, and use what ever fabric you love, I really want to find some of this fabric though, I think it fits in well at the Beach Club/Yacht Club.
 


I have some of that fabric left over from skirts I made for our upcoming cruise (you can see a pic on my PTR). If you want, I can send you some. It's pretty hard to find in store (it's from Joann's) and if you don't need a lot, it's not worth ordering online because you have to order by the yard. Let me know. Super cute shoes!!!

Oh goodness, what a sweet offer. I looked at Joann.com and the fabric isn't available online, so I would really like to take you up on that offer. The shoe kit is from Hobby Lobby, I need to run up there and buy one, I don't know how much fabric it takes to make a pair of the shoes yet.
 
Just let me know whenever. You can send me a PM with your address and I'll get it sent out. Apparently, I can't "math" well cuz I bought way more yardage then I needed for skirts. Must have been some pixie dust floating around so I could share! ;)
 
You are the first person i know who is going to make shoes!! I cannot wait to see how they turn out!!!
Love the countdown! LOVE IT! all of your fun ideas are really coming together!!!
SO EXCITING!!!
 
Hurray! It is September, that means WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD NEXT MONTH!

Today I got the A/C in the van fixed, and it has new brakes and new tires so it is good to go!
And I bought Henry's ticket and I was able to add him to almost all our Fast Passes. I wasn't able to add him to Seven Dwarves Mine Train so I didn't mess with the Fastpasses for that day.

I still need to change two of our ADR's from 4 people to 5 people, and I am considering changing lunch at 50's Prime Time Cafe to Beaches and Cream, but other than that we are good to go!
 
The shoes look so cute. We don't have a Hobby Lobby, but one is opening. I had no interest in going there, but now, I might need to check them out.

We are about 3 weeks away from our trip and we are ready to go! Our Magic Bands arrived on Monday!




We are super excited, and we are working on creating our villains shirts and other custom Disney items.




I have been trying to add another dinner ADR for either Thursday night when we arrive, or Saturday night at the Magic Kingdom, but I am not having any luck. I have tried various restaurants, and different times but so far nothing. On Saturday night we are hopping to the Magic Kingdom so we can see wishes and I was thinking it would be nice to have dinner at a sit down restaurant. Liberty Tree Tavern is closed, I didn't even try for Be Our Guest, Cinderella's Royal Table and Crystal Palace are both booked up. We may have to wait until we arrive and then see what we can get the day before.
 
Did you try for a sit down meal at Tony's or the plaza? We've never done the plaza before but I hear it's great. We did lunch at Tony's once. The food was good but mostly I enjoyed the view. We were seated in the glasses in section and could watch everything happening on Main Street from our table.
 
I don't know what your doing with scar but it looks adorable and i cannot wait to see the finished product!
i blame the dinging buddy things for not getting ADR's...
