1st Pre-Trip Report But Our 4th Time At Mickey's House

[WrightFamily06]

Don't have a lot of plans for DTD , so this will be a short update and there will be no pictures either for some reason I always forget to take my camera to DTD or I take it and forget to take pictures . Will have to change that this year though so I can included our trips to DTD in my trip report .

Things We Plan To Do At DTD:

Wolfgang Puck Express
BBB w/ DD & DS
Disney's Days Of Christmas
Disney Pin Traders
Goofy's Candy Company
Lego store
World Of Disney
Once Upon A Toy

One other thing I haven't included yet that I want to do is try a Lapu Lapu at the Poly , hope it's as good as everyone says it is

Next Update the things we buy to prepare for our trip

Aww thanks I always make them the medium size on photo bucket , do you think the large would be better ? We really like the water park also , although the kiddies really don't know how to swim yet so that limits us from doing alot of things , tried using the life vest with them last year but it really didn't seem to make a difference . Would really like to get them in swim lessons this summer so they could enjoy water activities more . I know the trip is coming up so fast and I have nothing ready , gonna go this weekend and pick-up the things I need from the store like sunscreen, batteries , snacks, etc. May start a little packing this weekend not sure yet though, since I stay at home most of the time , I have plenty of time to pack our suitcases. I could stop by and get you , the hubby might find that a little strange but I could do it .

Large would be better. I do the kids pics on large and the other stuff even bigger. Your hubby could get alone time while I sit the kids. Kidding. How can you not love Epcot!? I can't get enough of that place. I love the bird pic of the fam. That's so cool! Are you going to take food pics this time?

I did the Epcot pictures on large so hopefully you saw a difference Alone time for the hubby and I would be to good to be true , we don't even know what that is I don't know how I can't love Epcot it's always been boring to me maybe as I get older I will appreciate it more , I'm still only 25 I may try my hand at some food pictures but probably won't get to all the food w/ this being my first time doing a trip report , we shall see

First I want to start off by saying we only have 1 week left as of today until we are at WDW So therefore this time next week we will be on the road on our way to WDW

OK I wanted to included some of the things we buy to prepare for our vacation to WDW We also get these things to save money , cause we all know how WDW prices are ! LOL

Breakfast items , bowls, spoons, cereal, muffins & pop tarts , we will eat breakfast in our room all the days we don't have an ADR for breakfast and will buy a thing of milk once we arrive for the cereal

Camera Batteries , had to replace the rechargeable batteries for my Sony camera this year the old ones lost there charge after about 4 years of use

We also bought a slew of snacks for the car and the ones we don't eat in the car we will take to the parks

Ziploc bags to put snacks in for the parks so I don't have to carry around big boxes all day

Small Laundry Detergent & Softener

Small notebook to write down what we do each day

Thanks I got the sharpie and mat idea off the disboards of course , we haven't got autograph books in the last 2 years , so I thought this might work out better , we shall see . LOL I'm sure you are excited about the dining , who can beat it it's free, you don't have to cook it or serve it and then the big plus all food tastes better at WDW . LOL
