Whatever will I do with my time once this trip is over?

Do what I'm already doing... PLAN THE NEXT ONE!!!

Haha! Yes!!! This is one already so different than our last. My Babies are 9&11 this time and were 6 & 4 on our last trip. Looking forward to lasting later in the parks and riding more ride (crossing fingers that it actually happens!)

And I will fully admit that I am unable to sleep because of how excited I am that "our month" has finally arrived! I may need some Xanax until our trip or something. ;-) LOLOL

Girl, I so feel you. I started having "I'm too excited to sleep!" nights months ago.

Hahaha! My husband is totally over me being so pumped up about every last thing. My recent fixation is trying to decide if I want to have any sort of theme to my outfits for each park....yes, I have went down the rabbit hole hope we both get Some good sleep so we aren't zombies during our trips!

My daily outfits have been selected since late July and hanging in my closet in chronological order, waiting to be packed.

We are at MK now and the best thing happened and I HAD to share it! We were totally bummed because we had fast passes for the Festival of Fantasy parade, but it got rained out! We were totally surprised when our replacement fast pass was a choice of several things, including meeting Anna and Elsa at Fairytale Hall! We literally walked right up with absolutely NO wait!! To add to our great day, as we were leaving MK to go back to our resort to dry off before our dinner ressies, a guy handed us 11 ThrillCollection fastpasses! Having a magical day!

What's a thrill collection fastpass? Is that something for Universal?

What on earth is a Thrill Collection Fastpass? I've never heard of this!

If I had to guess it would be a Fastpass for any thrilling ride like Space, Big Thunder etc?



We're at 6 days now and today was the day I was least looking forward to! We're open 10-5 but I work 9-6 all alone. Shouldn't be too bad, just a long lonely day. The rest of the week will be as usual!

TEENS! We are on our teens!

Love it! <3 I'm trying to look "disneyesque" with my daughter. She is really into clothes right now so she's been pondering what we should wear for our theme each day. Of course, the boys want nothing to do with any of it. Haha. It's getting so close!

Alright people. Time for opinions on if I should get the Memory Maker (I realize I will get many different replies, haha!).

Background. Second family trip. Staying at CSR sept 23-28. Me, husband, daughter 11, son 9. Our camera is broken and we will be relying on iphone pics. We are going to MNSSHP for the first time. We have never bought any photos from Disney before, but if I'm going to bite the bullet I want to do it soon so I can still save the $50

I LOVE pictures and my family does hate it when I make them take 13879562856372 selfies because one was blurry or we all didn't fit in the pic or whatever. If we do get MM I plan to make the family stop at almost every photographer LOL

I know you can't make the decision for me, but with all of the decisions I have made so far about this trip I feel like I can talk myself into or out of almost anything right now.

I did read several of the MM and photo pass threads, but ended up more overwhelmed. I feel like I need ADHD meds to stop my brain from going a million miles a minute....or else I need to seriously cut back on the caffeine. Haha! Thanks all!

 

[daisy 'n donald]

so i never got an email saying our bands have been shipped but when i log in it says they shipped and should be here tomorrow!!! so excited!!!!

 

[mlsst124]

I would get it. I can't imagine you would regret having those pictures but you may regret not. Iphones take great pictures and you will still end up taking many spur of the moment pictures on it but there is something to be said for having a professional take some nice group shots of all of you. Also for the night pictures (mnsshp) iPhones aren't always that great and I always end up worrying about my battery or running out of space on my iphone. Plus if you give it a try this time and decide it's not for you, you'll know first hand for your next vacation!

I say go for it. The photos start at $15 so if you got one shot from each park and then two shots at MNSSHP that's $90 right there. Plus with MM you get the ride photos too (and video from ToT) and there are a decent amount of rides that take photos so you would quickly come out even! Not to mention the "magic shots" which are so fun too!

Iphones can take great photos (although the front facing camera not so much sometimes) and are good for capturing spur of the moment things but the photopass photos are so great because you've got high quality shots of the entire group with no "selfie arm!"

That's exactly what we're doing this year. I opted to not bring my camera and instead pay for MM and use my phone.
