Do you not like your wristlet?

It is the white one that matches my purse. I like the colored ones better!

We saw the Fantasmic show at DL this summer. Since it was standing room only it was alittle tiring. I hope to see it on one of our next trips.
I really want the 4parks one world CD-have heard nothing but rave reviews!

We too are very excited to see Fantasmic for the 1st time next month. I've watched bits and pieces of it on youtube and it looks amazing!

I have the "Wishes" and "IllumiNations" cds and I adore them! Perfect for when I need a Disney fix. I'm hoping to buy the "4 Parks One World" cd on this upcoming trip.

I really hope F! works out for you. Hopefully with a nap Lilian will do okay.

Your DHS day looks great, lots of shows- just like us (although different shows, lol). I'm really hoping for some good pics on SOA as well.

Evening EMH at EP sounds wonderful. Of course any extra time at EP sounds wonderful to me.

Thank you Hope! I think she will pass out from the heat so hopefully it will all work out.

HI...

so I have just sped read all those updates...you were right updates galore

so first to the most recent....PHDL 10:30 and BBL at 11:00 am....not sure if you'll actually have enough time there in between...getting out of PHDL, usually takes a few minutes the kids always want to pick up some of confetti paper at the end and then walking over and down Sunset to the BBL stage...you'd probably make the show time, but not sure on great seats

Love all the latest countdown items:

fav MSB treat: rice kripie treat or the HUGE cinamon rolls

Yes you can get the toy pieces at Once Upon a toy...most CM's won't make you close the top...so fill fill away...the hardest part will be finding the 4 matching pony shoes...we dug in those bins...you don't have to buy the pony or Mr. Potato head either...leaves more room in the box (es)

we saw F! for the 1st time last March, Naomi-Ruth was about 2/1 2 and was just fine...

love the mousekeeping tip envelopes...so clever my kids are generally the ones that make them, it's on our countdown for this trip too...craft day

Having a souviner wish list is a great idea, I do the same thing, I generaly go over but I try to stay on track

I think all your daily plans look great and love the goals for each day too...

J~

I guess I should have noted, the show is at 11:30 not 11:00. I put 11:00 so we can head over and get into line. (I just verified the times on Steve Soares so I made a note on my cards. I know the times can change each week though. )

Love that you have the kids make the mousekeeping cards. I will have to do that with Lilian when she gets older.

Good tips on the boxes ol' pieces!

Thanks Julie!!

 

[Charlefours]

I do not think F is scary for little ones.
I really hope you get to see it!

Thanks Amy!

We've never seen Fantasmic at Disney World. I saw it at Disneyland once. It just always seems like a bit of a hassle. It's a great show so I hope it works out for you. Your DHS day looks good. DHS always seem to be the hardest day to plan for me. It's hard to work in all the shows and still get to the rides. Anyway, great planning

Thanks Jenny. I hope with the extra hours, maybe it won't be as chaotic. Wishful thinking I'm sure but hopefully we will be able to make it to the late show if needed. Luckily the next morning is not too early (9:15 ADR).

 

[Charlefours]

I really hope that it works out and you can watch Fantasmic! I have seen it at Disneyland before and just loved it.

I'm really hoping someone recommends some good Disney music CD's because that's on my souvenir list, too!

Hey Christine. I hope it does too, but if we don't make it to F! I'm sure we will have plenty of other wonderful memories. Meghan recommended a few if you did not see her post yet.

 

[Charlefours]

Ok, so I'll respond on here instead of just telling you tomorrow!!

F! is not too scary, I think Lilian will be fine!

I think you'd better plan on a later B&tB show! You will be rushing to get from PHD to B&tB. PHD will be a good 20 min at least and then there is the hearding of the people out of the theater afterwards! VOTLM is right across the courtyard from PHD. Maybe you can see both of those then head to B&tB. There are also character meet & greets with Little Einsteins and Handy Manny right outside PHD and characters in the animations studios building next to PHD. It might work out better to see PHD & VOTLM while you are in that area, seeing the characters in between the two shows! Just a thought! Did that make any sense?

Sorry Emily was such a poop today! Hopefully tomorrow will be better so we can get some shopping, I mean, walking in!!

I posted above but I wrote down the time I want to anticipate getting to BBL not when the actual show starts. I tweaked my card to note the difference. Of course all the times could change. Luckily the WDW Lines App gives the show times too. I also am wondering if we might be able to knock out RnRC and ToT before the 9:40 PHDL show. What do you think?

 

[Charlefours]

It is the white one that matches my purse. I like the colored ones better!

Ahh!! I would think they would let you exchange it as long as you have not unwrapped it and it is close to the purchase date.

That is one of the cds I am eying. It seems to be really popular.

I love the soundtrack of it! I was listening to it this morning when I was working on things. Thanks for the cd recommendations.

 

[DrMomof3]

We've never seen F! (or many of the other nighttime shows, for that matter!). I hope you get to see it and it's great!

It was my only goal for the night that when the kids were in bed, I would catch up on your PTR! And I did! That was a lot that I missed!

I love all the itinerary cards! You're going to have such a great time!

Those mousekeeping envelopes are AMAZING. So very cute! I love it!

Those wristlets are really really cute! I hope you get one so I can see which one you picked!

I don't think Fantasmic is that scary...we took DS last time, and it was fine. Guess you'll know if you see it!

I can't believe you leave so soon! Sadly, I'm keeping time for the next few weeks based on Syd's surgery, and since you'll be back before her surgery, I know it's all very soon! I hope you're not stressing and that you're taking care of all the last minute details!

One of these times I bet you will get to go too.

You're too funny Christa!! I am glad you stopped back by and you caught up. I know it was a lot to get through.

Thank you!! I hope F! is not going to bother Lilian so I am just going to reassure her if she does (and we get to see it).

I know Syd's surgery is coming up so quickly. I am praying it goes well!! I'm sure it well.

 

[Charlefours]

Anyone care to join in with me for my single digit dance?!


​

 

[Charlefours]

Hard to believe, but today we are in the single digits until we leave!!! We started planning this trip about 20 months ago so for it to be almost here, it is just amazing (to us). Since it is another day, we have moved to another item on the countdown…

9. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!!!!

Next to Soarin’ this is probably my other favorite ride in Disney, definitely my favorite in MK. I’m looking forward to taking Lilian on this rollercoaster, as she is tall enough!! I’m not a huge rollercoaster fan but I really enjoy this one. It probably will be the only one I go on unless I decide to brave Goofy’s Barnstormer.

I think it would be fun to be able to ride this at night too. I believe it runs during MNSSHP, so it might be possible. Can anyone confirm this?

For those who want to relive the experience, here is a video we watch in our house, BTMRR

 

[jenny105]

It absolutely runs during MNSSHP! I always make sure to do this ride twice: once in the day and once at night. Two totally different experiences; you'll love it! So excited for you!!!!

 

[BabyEeyore]

WOO HOOOOOO FOR SINGLE DIGITS!!!

Oh my, I absolutely BTMR!!!! I have never been on it at WDW because we just haven't taken advantage of baby swap yet. I'm thinking of trying it out this trip, though. At least for one or two rides.

 

[Charlefours]

Here is my last itinerary card—hard to believe. Thank you for all the invaluable advice and information you have given!! I have enjoyed reading the responses to my questions too.

What advice would you give someone venturing to Disney for the first time or in a very long time?
