Wow, so helpful!!! Thanks for all your great ideas!
I totally understand your "up at night" problems last night I was up until midnight obsessing over stuff.
As far as shoes goes I would use a good pair of sneakers during the day and a pair of previously warn non-blister causing sandals at night. You may want to try the nike flip flops. Even though you dont like something in between your toes, these sandals are amazing. I could run a marathon in them. My dad will not wear the flip flop style either but I got him to try a pair of the nike's and he said they are the greatest 20$ he's ever spent. Here is a picture.
you can get them in all different colors. I have the pink/grey and the all black. Ive worn them to amusement parks and a day at the zoo. Never had any problems.
Those do look comfy, but I just don't know about the toe thing! I'll have to find some around here to try on. Love me some sandals!
I would vote to find a used version of the stroller that you already like and have. We have chosen to spend 85$ and rent a double stroller for the week from orlando stroller rentals. If you cant find what you like and want to go this option for a 2nd single stroller those also rent those as well.
I've decided this is the best way to go too. I'm going to look at one this afternoon that I found on craigslist. Wish me luck that I can cross this off my list!
The bags you have chosen as carryons sounds good. Keep in mind you will need extra room on the way home. Dirty clothes always seems to take up more room.And you need room for all those souveniors. I am going to pack our diapers and wipes and utilize that as extra space for the trip home.
I know, we will definitely need room for souvenirs. I'm planning for taking only 3 carry-ons (we're allotted 4) and then packing a little duffle that folds down to nothing in case we run out of room, that way we'll have a little breathing room and could use it as our 4th carry-on if need be. And I think the diaper/wipes space should help too, plus snacks. I'm planning on almost one whole carry-on being snacks (fruit snacks, dum dums, granola bars, raisins, etc.) and diapers, so that should be empty.
Have you picked your seats on airtran? If so I would say you or your dh could sit aisle seat and allow the kids the inner seats. That way they can move around somewhat but wont be able to get down the aisle. This is what we try to do at baseball games since our ds2 cant sit still for more than 5 minutes if that. I sit on one end and my dh sits on the other with the 2 boys in between that way they can stand and move but only in a contained area. I am hoping it works for the plane as well.
We do have our seats picked, and we have 2 full rows on the right side of the plane. So we maybe able to pin both kids in, one adult on each side in each row (there are 4 adults). That's a good idea. Cooper is great about sitting in his car seat; he doesn't even need toys/books to entertain him in the car, he just kind of zones out. Not sure about the plane though. I think I'll save the $25 and take our chances.
and last but no least. Arrival day! I have also thought about this. Our flights are similar too. leave at 7am (getting up super early) and arriving at MK 923am. I too thought about waiting for the room and napping but knowing that my boys are going to be so excited I wasnt sure if it would work out anyway. I planned on checking in, eating lunch at food court, and heading to magic kingdom. Catching the afternoon parade and getting some rides done. We have ADR at 4pm at plaza resturaunt and I plan on heading back after that to resort to swim or just organize the room and baths and bed. I would say try to find another night for spectro or skip it this trip. Or just have plan A if the room is ready and if not do plan B.
Yeah, your plan is my plan B, and I think it sounds the best (especially if I could move CP up to 5:30), except that everyone keeps telling me we must see Spectro, and I know the kids would ADORE it. I think they would conk out at some point in the strollers in the afternoon, and maybe that would be enough to get through until Spectro, but I don't want to go so gung ho our very first day. My mom and I should have time to discuss this today so I can see what she thinks and wants to do.
Hope I helped and didnt just confuse you more.
Ps I am waiting for my mickey mail too. I unfortunately have to wait until AAA calls.
Glad I'm not the only one! I'm going to e-mail my TA today.
), but still it's not as easy a list as Animal Kingdom. So...
!!
) I'm cheap so I'll find out in my practice run at packing how much space I'll need. I'm packing the boys clothes in ziploc bags so they should fit in carry ons. I'll pack diapers/wipes/snacks/toiletries in the checked bag.
worship: if you've made it this far, by the way!)...our arrival day. 
See how everyone feels - sounds like you'll have a long day.
All of your planning, sleepless nights, ADR drama. Yep, deja vu! I am sorry that I'm just now getting in on this PTR but am excited that you'll be going in, what 23 days now??? Can't wait to hear all about it!!!!!!!
for joining in?? Thanks for reading!
warm fuzzies all around!
I have not had one of those since my oldest son was born
. I loved every minute of it but I was so exhausted by the end of the week that I looked forward to coming to work to relax.
Isnt it hilarious that you plan your reproduction around disney trips.
