It sure is! Got mine today too . No luggage tags as we didn't book a package (I have an AP), but we got our ME stuff.

The funny thing is that we have no return flight info in our book - I know I gave all the info to them at the same time, so I guess that means we just don't come home and will have to stay at the Polynesian forever

We got ours today too! Woo hoo!

I was a SAHM for a few years then we needed insurance & Hubby was adjunct teaching so no insurance there. Anyway I loved it.

poor DD and poor you for cleaning all morning (although I feel like that's all I ever do some days...along with laundry and cooking!). I hope she's feeling better soon!

True. I'm not opposed to working again if needed, it's just time for a change right now!

Hope DD7 is feeling better soon, and happy belated birthday to your other DD!

Does anyone have a PTR going for their trips? Or is there a place that lists all the PTRs? In our April group we had a list of everyone's PTRs and then started a thread for all the TRs too. I'd love to read along if anyone has one!

(oh, and shameless plug, if you are interested feel free to check out my April TR from our stay at Bay Lake Tower...link is in my signature).

Good morning all!

Another happy Friday that gets us one step closer to our fun! We're at 36 days today so I know the Mickey Mail is coming any day now, which makes it even more real.

I'm still on the fence about the MagicBands deal and not sure if I want one or not. I think I'd like of like to be part of a testing group, but not sure if I'm ready for the full rollout yet. I think it has the potential to be very good, but also very bad. We'll have to wait and see.

The website appears to be working better today. We'll see if it lasts.

The wife and I have kind of decided to roll back some of our spending for stuff for the trip. We were going to get some new shirts that had the cooling technology in them but with the price they want it would be a bit much. Probably just stick to t-shirts and utilize the cooling towels and misting fans. Drinking plenty of water and making good use of air conditioned places and pools will also be on the agenda.

It's getting closer to the time where we have to start figuring out what trinket stuff we want to get like glow sticks and such. Need to make a trip to the dollar store soon.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm getting more excited...and nervous by the day. We've done August the past couple years and I'm usually so on the ball by now, usually have ponchos packed, some surprise gifts for the kiddies and things like that. Not this year! Out of nowhere I've had bad anxiety & panic attacks for the past couple weeks and can't figure out why. Now I'm making myself crazy about the flight, I've never loved flying but there's too many placed I want to see to let it hold me back. But the thought of getting on a plane now is pretty scary. I'm also having issues in crowded/confined spaces, great thing to happen before you go to Disney. I'm really trying to put my issues aside a focus on the fact that we'll be having quality family time in Disney.

Good Friday Morning!!! We're at 35 days, no Mickey mail from out TA yet :-(

I'm on the fence about the magic bands too... If it happens we'll go with the flow but we don't like the thought of three fp limit!

We got a few groupons for tshirts a while back and were able to pick some different Disney ones this year cheaply. The girls got some on sale at old navy and the Disney store too so we are done buying shirts. I need a few more pairs of shorts and a tank top or two.

Our Dollarama had some glow sticks and glow masks, also saw some necklaces but I don't know how we'll they'll pack. Also our michaels craft store sells glow bracelet tubes for $1.25 for a tube of 10!

My kids will have their own spending money and when it's gone that's it! My 12yr old has saved all her babysitting money and has a really nice chunk to spend, little dd (9) has a really hard time saving anything lol!

Is it possible to see your doctor for an anti anxiety medication to fly with? It can work wonders, although you'll want to make sure you have tried it out at least one time before flying with it to know your reaction!!!

I know what you mean about getting excited and nervous though too! Usually I'd at least have a pile of packing stuff started already but nope! I've been so busy with a roll out of a new computer system at work I can't think straight lol! All will be more real once our Mickey mail shows up!!!

I've been living at the doctor recently, since I've never had this problem (this bad) in the past, I thought there was more wrong with me then anxiety. My doctor probably thinks I'm a nut bag at this point! Hahaha I've given myself every ailment possible...it's crazy what your brain can do to you. He did give me anti anxiety meds and I recently started them so I'm hoping things will settle down before we leave. I think I just really need a break and will be fine once I get there.
