ADRs, Touring Plans, Free Dining, What?

[dogodisney]

I'm trying to get everything together too. I feel like we are forgetting something and we haven't even left yet!!!

Have a great trip!

I'll be getting there 2 days after you!

 

[rebecca06261]

Guys I am completely freaking!!! I have so much to do. ARRRRGH!!! At least I am done with OT at work now. I actually only have 9 days off between now and when we leave. Thankfully 3 of those days are just before our trip. That will be wonderful.

I'll be making some phone calls to WDW this week just to reconfirm some stuff and make a couple of other ressies for fun stuff. I'll give you an update ASAP.

What did you end up making ressies for??? I still haven't started packing- worse, I haven't even made a check-list Just remember to have fun and you can never "over-pack"

One thing to remember is the febreeze or a new bra for every day of the week That's my handy tip of the day!

Hello!

Well I'm wrapping up my checklists. Ive got just a few more items to buy. Mostly food items. A good friend is house/animal sitting for us so I need to make sure the fridge is stalked. Here's a look at what's going to be in my Baggallin at the parks.

My extra finds - Mini emery boards, snap packs of bug repellent and SPF and some compact drying towels. (Round orange discs at right with a guy on them.) I'll let you know how those work if we use them. It is overkill in my opinion and I may remove a few items on certain days. I do like to be prepared for anything though.
There is always the last minute laundry and beauty things. This next week I have to go get my hair cut and colored too. I simply can't be looking all scruffy at WDW. NO, NO, that just won't do for all the pictures I'm going to get!!! Also got to get to the bank to get my vacation money out. I'm putting half of it on a prepay debit card. The money on that will be for gas, gifts and misc items. Cash will be for tips, carriage ride, and drinks or extra food items. I already have money in envelopes for the Mousekeeping.
Oh, and I don't know if I said this or not earlier. I'm going to my home town to a family owned chocolate shop to buy a few boxes of chocolates. I thought it would be cool to give a box to anyone who goes above and beyond for us. If it happens.
My bags

The blue one is for our overnight stuff in Georgia. I didn't want to carry in the big suitcase for just a one night stay.
I bought this little guy to put on the antenna of the rental. I hope it has an antenna. If not I'll hang it from the mirror.

I feel a little better since reviewing my checklists. It looks like I'm in pretty good shape. I will actually be heading to WDW in 15 days.

I lied. I'm sorry. Don't hate me please! I wanted to post my itinerary, however, I'm out of time. Tomorrow is another day!

 

[rebecca06261]

I promise you won't want to carry all of that stuff around wdw! But, better to be prepared than to regret not having something

Where did you get the pirate-mickey head?? I haven't seen those!

 

[2BusyPlanning]

It looks like your bags are already by the door, ready to go!

I always pack some zip top sandwich, quart and gallon sized baggies. All of that small stuff can get put in a zip bag. One personal (emery boards, band aids, deodorant, medicines, sun screen...), one cleaning (handiwipes, Shout wipes...). I tuck one of the gallon sized ones in there for the maps, napkins, coasters, menus and misc things I want to keep dry and somewhat flat (maybe for scrapbooking).

Oooooo... it's getting closer! My tummy hurts, I'm so excited for you!

 

[dogodisney]

If you didn't order the personalized maps from Disney, I suggest that you do. You won't get them before your trip but they will make nice souvenirs. I was pleasantly surprised when I got mine. They're really nice.

2 weeks!

 

[Step]

I try to go into the parks with as little as possible. my KTTW card, sun glasses, disposable poncho, cameras. I may bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer or wet wipes.

I take afternoon breaks so I put my sun screen on before I leave in the morning, and again later in the day.

I like being mostly hands free.

Great trip report BTW. You'll be there a week after me. Have an awesome time!

I've seen them on a couple of sites. I got this one from laughingplace.com. I would not recommend them however. At least not for merchandise. (The site has all kinds of good and fun info.)It took too long to get the things I ordered and the 1st pirate head was broken. They made it right, but I won't ever order fro there again.

No, not all packed quite yet. The overnite is still empty. This stuff is in a spare bedroom. I've got zippies. I posted a pick of the little vinyl pen and pencil pouches I'm using to put things in. Those are in the Baggallini.

Don't you dare make yourself sick over my trip. I'm the one that should be sick. I am so ready to go.

No, I didn't make a request except for water veiw. DH likes AB and I like the mansions. It will be a surprise! I'm figuring since it is just the 2 of us, they will put us in the mansions. As long as it is a clean and functioning room, I don't care! At least not on this trip!!

I think Toy Story is at HS not Epcot

 

[rebecca06261]

Yeah, TSM is at DHS- that just means you'll have more time for WS

 

[2BusyPlanning]

What'ch u talkin' bout Willis?

School Bread is also on my "must" list for this trip. I've never tried it, or a Dole Whip! Looks like I have been missing out on a few things...

 

[lazydoxy66]

Thanks, I fixed it. Even when I have 3X5 cards with all the info., I still mess it up. Sure enough TSM is not written on my card for EP. We might be able to get on it that evening though. That's probably what I was thinkin.
