Patiently waiting for the park hours to come out so I can finalize the days we'll go to what parks and what ADRs we'll make.

SAD!! Yes...we're checking out the 26th. I wish we could stay an extra night, but Michael has to be back home for church on Sunday. He only gets to miss 2 a year. But I am glad that you made the switch!!! I'm so excited to stay there. Oh--and you should change your ticker now!

It's too bad we're not going to be there at the same time. We're missing each other by a day! Boo! We're still staying at POR during the first half of our trip (the land & sea part) but I could add an extra ticker to countdown to staying in the villas...if it will fit. I was a little sad changing from WL for the last two nights but we're going to do WCC so we'll still get to see it. So it's like a two in one deal.

Hi and thank you!

I see so many Disney shirts whenever I go to Kohl's. They actually have another Mickey one that I'm coveting. It stinks that they don't ship internationally!

I know. It would have been so much fun to be there at the same time. Oh, yeah. I forgot that you'll be there earlier. Who knows...we might still run into each other in the parks! You'll be on the "land" portion during part of our stay, right? Yes--I think you'll be happy with the AKL vs WL decision. You'll still get to visit WL!

Yes, the "land" portion is 9/20-9/24 so we will be there the same time. If I see you in one of the parks, I'll be sure to say hello. Or you'll hear me saying 'I think that's the girl from the DIS boards.' I have a tentative schedule of what parks we're going to be in on what day but I won't know for sure until the hours are released.

I was just looking at your PTR and it looks like we'll be in MK and AK on the same days!

Hi Jen! Just read your report. I need to get some t-shirts for our trip! I had no idea Kohl's was the place to go! I'll be sure to check it out this weekend!
Hope you're having luck with figuring out which resort to stay at. Those two were in our top choices, but we decided on the Boardwalk for location. But next time!!

Haha! I have a feeling I'll be thinking everyone looks familiar while I'm on my trip. I'll be wondering if everyone is from the Boards, and my DH will be thinking I'm insane. I've changed my tentative schedule again, but I'm waiting til next month to re-post it, since the park hours/TGM ratings will be out. I wish they would hurry up!

Hi! Thanks for reading. Kohl's is definitely the place to go! I always find Disney shirts there. They have two more Mickey and Tink shirts that I want! And they're always on sale super cheap!

I switched to AKL. I love animals and that seemed like the logical choice. Plus it was saving me a little bit of money. I would LOVE to stay near the Boardwalk area....Yacht & Beach Club One day I will...it was just too out of my price range for this trip!

I'm going to be doing the same thing! DBf is going to think I'm nuts. He already does because we're sitting with a bunch of people at dinner on DCL that I met on our cruise meet thread! I wish they would hurry up too!!!

[jenny105]

I just bought my first items for the goody bags I'm making for the FE! I would post pictures but some of my cruise meet friends read this. I hope you all like everything that I'm planning on getting!!

This was just a mini-update.

Taking a page out of Stacy's (FutureDis) book, I just ordered this from Vera Bradley. http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Stor....aspx?Sku=246& I have a million lanyards from AAA so I'm probably going to attach it to one and put our room keys and whatever cash we need in it. I got it in a retired color (peacock) and the shipping was more than the case itself!

[Rora]

Yay for Vera Bradley!

Jenny: another twin moment, I have the wallet in peacock too.

Wow. If you lived closer, you'd be my BFF.
