We're staying at Pop too and will be running to TSM with you on the morning of the 18th! Your ressies at LTT are earlier than ours. We'll probably run into each other at some point anyway.
We actually are at AK on the 18th now... We had to switch around for least crowded parks days... We go to DHS on the 20th now... and the 27th...
Have you stayed at Pop before? We did in 2004 and really liked it... Lots of fun...
Hey there Toni!
Just wanted to tell ya I your new siggie thing with Mickey. Very Cute!
Adrienne
The 20th is also a DHS day for us, but it's a late start because we have breakfast at Boma in the AM.
I've never stayed on site before, so no. Never been to Pop. I'm very excited!
Does Alec carry a backpack in the parks? Madelyn is 8, and I was wondering if I should have her carry her own stuff, like her pressed penny tube and her autograph book and pen. We will have the double stroller, but my other two are 3 and 1.5, and still need "stuff." I would have to dig through all that junk to find her stuff.
Thank you!! Terry made it for me today!
Are you getting excited yet?? Have you gotten your Magical Express package yet?? I am going crazy wanting mine but I have not seen them yet...

My son said he had a dream that it was time to go. It was so cute he is almost 15 but he was as giddy as a 6 yr old talking about going on our trip. My sister hasnt gotten our package yet. OMG we still have to call magical express to tell them about our change in departure, hotel etc... I just know Im gonna overpack even though Im trying not too, my stack in the corner keeps growing and its only my stuff, plus misc stuff. But so far none of my sons stuff is put to the side because he keeps wearing his shorts.
Did you check the September Swap, trade, cancel, etc reservation post on the DIS you might be able to find the Garden Grill on there and if not you guys are gonna have a blast and they may not even notice or rememeber so don't trip choclate chip!We are sitting here watching the new movie, The Race to Witch Mountain...
We have 35 days until we leave and I still have no Mickey Mail
Alec's birthday party is Friday... He has 5 of his friends spending the night... We bought water balloons, silly string, a ton of candy and snacks, some juice and soda... They are going to put the sprinkler under the trampoline and play video games... My Mom and Dad got him the new Madden 10 for PS3 and it comes out Friday morning so they will be all over that I am sure! Terry and I got him and I-Home for his I touch, Tailor got him a game for the PS3... Terry's parents got him a digital camera!! He is going to love it! It's red, and cute, but I don't think he will notice the cute part! We will make sure he takes pictures to share on our trip report!
I am feeling like a super bad Mom though... The kids just informed me that they want to eat at Garden Grill again this trip and I didn't get an ADR!!! I tried to see if anything was available online, but no such luck!

I thought about it, and something like this might work... I bought it at WDW last year... It is a messenger bag that goes across the chest, but it is a smaller messenger bag... I held all of my items, pressed penny tubes, the kids lanyards, autograph books and pens in there, and it held it just fine...
Under the flap is a spot to carry id's, gift cards, pens, etc...
This is the smaller compartment towards the front of the bag... This fit the autograph books perfectly...
This is the larger compartment in the middle of the bag... This fit bottles of water last year...
This is meant for a cell phone, but fit penny tubes pretty well...
This is a small compartment on the back of the bag... Not too big, but it fit either autograph books, or the lanyards...
Just something to consider

I did look over there and see if anyone had it, but didn't see it... I am really not willing to give up Le Cellier or Teppan Edo, so they will just have to let it go unless we can get a walk up(HA yeah right!) on the 21st and move Big River Grill to a different night...
Do you really have a milkman???
Also when you find out more info on ordering from costco can you PM me? Thx!
You said the bag held the kids lanyards do you pin trade too? I can't wait to pin trade again! We havent done it on our last few trips to DL so my son n i are excited to do this plus i found like 10 pins we can use to trade and new lanyards. I also came across the kids old autograph books and my step daughter had this look on her face (she can't come with us because of the cost of her sweet 16 party in December at that) her look was can you get me autographs. So i asked her if she wanted me to get her some autographs and she got this huge smile and said YES! So cute!
We are VERY excited!

That is adorable that your son is so excited!!! Tell him to break out the sweatpants and thermal underwear and give up his shorts!!! Doesn't he know that a neurotic Disney packer cannot wait until being weeks out from a trip!!! Maybe this is why I buy everyone all new clothes... I have been packed since February! Of course with all the money I spent on the clothes we could have probably stayed another week!!!

We totally do have a milkman... He delivers every week... He is expensive though so we are thinking after vacation we will go back to getting it at Costco... We can get 2 gallons for 3.50 there and the milkman charges 3.50 each plus a fuel charge...
Do you have a Costco membership? I can't remember if I asked you that or not... I have the address for Pop the way it needs to be listed and I was told to order it a week out and it would be waiting for us...
