PTR for the planning obsessed....Updated 11/5 We're home now.

[MRYPPNS]

Wow, Heidi!! Amazing! You are so so so organized!!

Thanks!

I'm amazed at how organized you are! That is all so impressive.

I went through so much effort last trip with all my tip envelopes and barely used any of them. Mousekeeping wouldn't take the tips when they were in the envelopes, and my father ended up putting most of the restaurant tips on his room account. Oh well, they were appreciated by the few CM's that I did get to give them to.

I didn't do restaurant tip envelopes.....those just seem ackward to me. I've always done Mousekeeping tip env. and have never had any problems with them taking them!

All sorts of Halloween events planned at AK and the resorts!!! Did you see it on the wdwinfo page? Here it is:

I've already made notes on my notes!

Heidi,

To John: "Mr. Poppins" here's to pushing the stroller, changing diapers, taking pictures w/ the lovely Princesess, letting your wife SHOP till She DROPS, eating, touring, resting and having a Magical time!

To Liam: "the BIG-Cutie" here's to your first trip, first time seeing the castle, seeing Mickey, riding Dumbo, staying up late, sleeping in your stroller, being just too cute for all those characters and so much more!

To Heidi: "super DISNEY Mom" here's to a great trip, may plan A-B-C-....work their magic for you, may flexibilty rule the roost if something goes amuck, have fun, live in all the great memories of your son's first trip and enjoy the new stuff, the small stuff and everything in between, happy shopping and figuring out how to bring it all back, here's to restful nights and just a practically perfect trip in everyway!

Have a GREAT TIME stay safe and healthy!

Love,

Scrappie (j-)

Thanks!

Wow, a big on the organization! I can't believe your countdown calendar is so full! It seems like just yesterday you were posting it with all those numbers to put stickers on!!

The last 100 days have flow by!

OMG! 3 days!

Now it's 2!!!!!

Hi Heidi - Love the organization stuff! I sent you a PM... Amy

Thanks for the PM....all taken care of now.

Heidi, I don't know if we'll be on at the same time before you leave.

Honey, I just want to wish you a wonderful time on your trip. I know you'll create so many happy family memories, and I can't wait to read all about them. And if it isn't too weird, I will definitely be thinking of you this week. Especially on Halloween. (As I'm coaxing my son into some kind of costume )

Take plenty of pics, and have a great time!


Oh, and I love your rock the vote day!

Vacation Day Ten Tuesday November 4, 2008

Departure Day

We’ll pack up, have breakfast at the food court and drive to the airport. We should land back in NH by 2:30pm….then it’s an hour drive home. Before going home we have to stop at the town hall and VOTE. After that I’ll be glued to CNN and hopefully munching on some goodie that I brought home with me.


We’ll all packed….except the Laptop! I had my lemon-aide pedi today. Ahhhhhhhh……so relaxing. Ladies treat yourself to a pedi soon at a nice spa.

We’ll be up at 4am tomorrow….hopefully I can get some sleep tonight. By this time tomorrow night we should be waiting for a table at Beaches and Cream!

I thank you all for your warm well wishes for our vacation. I’m going to try to take tons of pictures to share with you when I get back.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Don't forget to take pictures of lights!!

Have a magical trip!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, Heidi, I hope you have a wonderfully magical trip!!! I'll miss you while you are gone, but I can't wait to read all about your adventures and see all of your photos!

 

[DisMomAmy]
