ª"˜˜ª¤.¸Team August 2013 Thread! (Part 2)¸.¤ª˜˜"ª&#9733

I have a question. DW wants to use the penny presses on this trip. We are from Canada and i cannot seem to find a bank that has American coin to get before we go. Anyone know where I can get a couple of rolls of quarters in WDW?

10 days to go!

Orlando airport has a currency exchange there that you can exchange for some quarters and pennies.

Other option is to ask at your resort to exchange some bills for rolls of coins.

Also laundry rooms have coin machines that give quarters for using in the washing machines.
 
I suppose this thread is now applicable to me as the wifey and I decided to get into town a day early of our original arrival date of 9/1. Getting closer as I now see a "2" as the beginning of my countdown timer.
:welcome: Glad you are able to go early, that's always a treat!

I hear many of the laundry rooms are now on "cards" and not quarters. You put X amount of money in the mch and you get a card with "x" amount loaded on it. The laundry mchs read the card. Not sure if they are everywhere.
 
So glad to find this thread! We are staying at Shades of Green 8/28 - 9/2. We have reservations at Ohana's on 8/30 and all I could get was 9:20 dinner time BUT, at least we get to try it :) Can't wait to be back in my fave place....WDW!
 

I would just wait and save all the change with every purchase, you can change dollars to quarters pretty easily throughout the resorts too

Thanks for the suggestions, we will try at the airport first. :)
 
Spent yesterday waiting for the call if I got the job I interviewed for last week... I GO IT! Soooo excited! We'll be on our trip in 13 days and when we return I start my new job :-)

While we were waiting we did online check in, and rearranged some days, them arranged them again lol... The only one that moved was our animal kingdom day (29th now) and we now have a free park day in the middle where we'll see where we feel like going for the day.

Being a longer trip this time it was hard... Usually we're trying to find 'down days' but this time we have a stretch in the middle where we will do water parks this time lol. Ok it's early here and I should stop rambling, my house is quiet with my kids at camp all week! Time to find something to do! Maybe I'll do the mouse keeping envelopes now :-)

Happy Saturday everyone!

While I don't have the issue if needing American coins I didn't even think about the coin presses until just now! I already have the roll of pennies now for the roll of quarters!
 
Today is our 17 day mark, and no engraved invitation or email from Disney to be a MB tester, though my MBs are already packed! Hmm, maybe Monday?

I was thinking we'd call next week to find out the answer to this question! 13 days for us!:cheer2:

We were just at the Inglewood sun festival and there was a booth selling "cool blue Gecko" Gecko skinz cooling towels. They're similar to frog togs I think. It's just a towel, there's no chemicals in it, it can be machine washed, and stays cold for 2-6 hours depending on climate, to re cool it you just get it wet and flick the water lol.... I only bought one towel because it's quite large and can be cut with no issues.

We tried them out at the festival and they felt like ice! I think it will be the perfect answer to the heat :goodvibes

Now off to search my basement for that misting fan I had 2 years ago :rotfl: The packing list is getting accomplished - well for the misc. stuff anyhow :lmao:
 
We leave Tuesday morning!!!! I cannot wait. I have not been getting any updates from Dis in a while and got so behind here. Going to try and catch up a bit.
 
Welp, 12 days to go!! Today my DH and I sat down and made sure that our list of stuff to pack was not lacking anything important. And after that I made all our thank you cards and envelopes for our wonderful mouse-keeping people. Next I will type up our packing list and print it out with check-off boxes and then it's count down till we can actually start packing lol. I'm so excited but I have to be honest, this is the point where I begin panicing that something will go wrong. Anyone else do that?:confused3

Congratulations on your new job!
 
20 days to go! I really can't believe it. Starting to get better organized...I think I am almost there. Then just the clothes....as we all have said it is so hard to vacation in the same season as the clothes you are wearing.
