20 years is way too long and I am clueless PTR- help-i've got transporation confusion

[lbuzz52]

i think i've finally got my basic plans for the MK days
(1 full regular hours day & 1 late EMH day)

day 1
regular hours: FP BTMR, SM, JC (as my times open up)
Dumbo
Peter Pan
Barnstormer
half of remaining Fantasyland
HM
Celebrate Parade
BTMR
SM
JC
Pirates
Spectro
Wishes

day 2
EMH hours Buzz
Speedway
Mickey's
Minnie's
Donald's
Any toontown characters we missed during the week
Monsters Inc
hotel for nap
any FL we didn't hit day 1 or at MNSSHP
revisit the favorites during parade & fireworks time


My only MNSSHP plans are to:

arrive near 4
go to Ariel's with DD in her costume
be done eating by 615ish
cindy's carriage
snow white/dwarfs
then whatever

i have a feeling that the kiddos might want to knock off the rest of the fantasyland rides during the party


i have to get all my paperwork in order by Friday (last day of work!!)
saturday i'm going to finish pulling everything to the suitcases
sunday i'll run errands if i'm missing anything
monday dd goes to mother's day out- hopefully ds can go to...we have him on the waiting list but he usually goes on thursday. but if the trade goes thru i'll get my packing finished up and maybe get into bed at a decent time???
i have this issue with the day before trips- i don't think i have ever gone to bed before maybe like 2 or 3? it doesn't matter what i do, somehow it just happens

and yes, i can't believe that i am talking about the coming up week!!!

 

[lbuzz52]

next week at this time i will be enjoying the view from Dumbo!!

 

[mchelle77]

This time next week I'll be still wishing for it to be "next week"

 

[lbuzz52]

This time next week I'll be still wishing for it to be "next week"

you are so close though!

 

[onelilspark]

i don't remember if i told you either
I'm not too picky- being that i haven't ever seen the place. I want the grandstand area- its close to the main building and first on the bus stops.
crud, i can't remember if the buildings have elevators or not... better go look at that.




welcome back!!
forgive my newbieness... do you mean that you went to the park for a whole day and then the halloween party after and got worn out?

We only had tickets for MNSSHP, so we got in at 4pm and had until midnight. But we tried to do rides and the Halloween stuff. And there just wasn't enough time. We were running all over the park, and we'd been up since 4am. I was ok with it because I'm a Disney-crazy, but I think my boyfriend was ready to kill me (plus he didn't take a nap like I had planned. ) In the end though, I wish we would have just focused more on the Halloween aspect of it and just done a ride or two as we were passing it...or even if each of us would have picked one and we made sure we did that. We just tried to cram too much into that night...I should have known better (and I was warned too!!)

 

[that's nice]

and yes, i can't believe that i am talking about the coming up week!!!

next week at this time i will be enjoying the view from Dumbo!!

You are getting there!!!! You MK plans look good as well as your MNSSHP plans.. very realistic.

This time next week I'll be still wishing for it to be "next week"

LOL That's too funny!!!!

 

[lbuzz52]

so i got a nice sized box packed to ship out tonight... diapers, baby food, some snacks, formula (i've weaned him to morning and night nursing only) etc.
we also placed a garden grocer order, but i am a coupon lover and refuse to pay 2 or 3 time more for some of this stuff from garden grocer. we pretty much just ordered drinks, and perishibles from garden grocer

 

[lbuzz52]

2 days from now we will be standing on poly beach getting ready for the ewp!!

I have to finish packing, and go to the bank and post office tomorrow.

I managed to fall today and skin both knees up. All pics will therefore be knees up for me!

 

[that's nice]

WOW 2 days away!!!! Sorry about your knees.. I hope they feel better!

Don't forget the tickets!!! LOL

 

[mchelle77]

Skinned knees are better than the flu, right?

 

[onelilspark]

I fell down my stairs 2 weeks before my trip last year. Sprained my ankle pretty badly and refused to go to the doctor in case I hurt it worse than I thought I bought myself a brace and walked through Disney! ...worst idea ever!!!

So skinned knees? Whatever... Could be worse!

 

[redsunfish]
