***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

[DisneyBelle27]

@Lisa F I forgot to ask, did you enjoy the Prep and Landing shows last night?

We leave 3 weeks from today! We're staying in a FW cabin! I'm so excited, I got a call this morning that there was a golf cart cancellation so I was able to book one for our entire stay I know we don't need a golf cart but we're not going to the parks every day and will have lots of down one at FW so I'm happy to have it and decorate it with some Christmas lights! Yay!

Oh I think it'll be so much fun to have the golf cart! Who doesn't love driving one of them around? Lol. And decorating it will be awesome! I'll be at the FW Campground on my arrival day, 12/6, since I'm planning on going for a run to see all the decorated campsites!

It's been crazy around here! For whatever reason, I've gotten this extreme nesting bug and I cleaned and organized our entire basement the last few days. I even cleaned the toys. I ended up donating a full trash bag amount to our church.

Now I feel like our house is starting to come together for Thanksgiving. It's coming up SOOOO fast!

I thought of taking DH over to FW to see the decorated sites, but I think that will just fuel his bucket list desire. (His ultimate dream is to own a camper or RV. He's obsessed with it!)

Forgot to add, WalMart has 2 gallon size zip lock bags, if anyone is looking for them. They're a great alternative to the packing cubes.

@pigletgirl - I've been doing this in bits and pieces, but not making any real progress. Please send me some energy!!

Nesting here, too...just finished painting DDs bedroom to surprise her when she gets home for break....she's 20...time for the lilac purple to go!!!

Any of yall want to come nest at my house?? The only cleaning I keep on top of is laundry.

We had a window salesman come to the house last night, so that involved 2 evenings of "cleaning" the spare bedrooms beforehand, which where we throw all the crap when we cleaning the main living areas. So DH just threw all that crap into the basement. Tomorrow the heating and A/C guy is coming, so how we have to clean the basement. I'm running out of places to move the mess (and places to move in general).

And now we are getting new windows in the whole house in the very near future. Definitely not one of the more fun purchases we get to make as homeowners. They probably won't be installed until after the trip. But that means we will put off decorating the windows with wreaths until the new ones are installed.

I've been getting so much done here. I got many "must pack" items from target and dollar store (hand warmer, travel size items, ziplocks bags and etc). Today I finished making those "Thank you Mousekeeping!" tip envelopes. They turned out so cute and only cost me $2 for the material. I brought a pack of thank you cards (but only use the envelopes) and a sheet of mickey club stickers from dollar store. Print the envelopes from home and insert tip inside & use the sticker to seal it. So proud of myself.

Someone stop me!
I bought 2 sweatshirts and an ornament from Disney Store online today. I just had to look at the site when I got the email about the 25% off for Disney Visa holders. DH is going to kill me!

Josh posted a good review of how and where to watch the parade and/or fireworks and what time you need to be there.

So can you give us a list of what you currently have and what you want by date/location/time? I think character meals are going to be SUPER hard for that big of a group even with cancellations. Will you all split up?

OMG, we are ridiculous!! I'm glad it's not just me though.

Ehh, still coughing quite a bit. I would just be happy to get some decent sleep. For the past 3 nights I've taken NyQuil and laid in bed for hours coughing. Today my ribs and abs actually hurt from it.
I feel like it is getting a little better. I ate some solid food today in the form of chicken soup. I'm actually starving now, so I'll take that as a good sign.

my oh my I've been gone from this thread for far too long. Hoping everyone's plans are going well we have less than one month to go before we are all on our magical vacation and I'm truly the most excited I can possibly be.
I have an spread sheet with times and plans for which order to hit rides and all that. I know it sounds insane maybe to plan down to the time and order you get on rides but I just needed to do that because nothing irritates me more than standing around asking "what do you want to do next" and "idk what do you want to do next" for me this plan overloads us with options the schedule I know is impossible and things will be passed on just based on how important they are to us. Also keep in mind that this trip is for two 23 and 24 year olds who are comfortable with going from rope drop to curtain call. We are planning on marathoning through 4 days.
I do have a question. I want to know if you guys have any must watch or rewatch disney movies. My gf hasn't watched some key movies that we will definitely be watching but I'm trying to think of a good list to start today and carry through until we depart.

I have no list...kids are all 20+ so I know nothing, but I'm with you...planning to see a couple before the trip. Want to see Frozen---never seen it...what is all the hype about???? and The Nightmare before Christmas. DD said wait for me to watch them...but she gets home from college only 2 days before our trip. Looks like Sunday night will be a Disney Movie Marathon while we pack.
