Did they say why?

Yeah most seem to be that 4 to 6 size.

I emailed this lady Mrs. B that everyone on here talks about. I was looking for a 4/5 Belle. She had it and sent it to me. Here is her ebay sight, just send her an email telling her what you are looking for, she will let you know if she has it. These are dresses from WDW.

The brochure came with 4 luggage tags. The brochure says the luggage tags are yellow? Did I get the wrong thing...I got 4 what will you celebrate plastic tags.

We decided to let Jenny do the castle package at BBB so she can be anyone she wants. I am going to put the Belle costume on ebay tonight. Maybe we can pay for her new costume choice!!!

You can't do anything with money. They stopped the stroller swaps too as of this Friday unless you make yours free. So luckily we have enough in ours to go ahead and do that. I doubt there will be anymore in the future. Someone said they are still allowed on some mikes website???

 

[englishrose47]

The Mods said they were closing them as this is a dIscussion Board and Swaps wee taking up a lot of space and that Exchanging/selling anything for money was never allowed !! So I guess we have to be creative in the future , mabe someone will find a way that doesn't involve posting on the Dis !!! I was really mad at first butI lov these boards too much to cut my nose to spite my face !!We have found ways around things before andI'm sure we will again!!

The ME tags are a green/yellow

This stuff is your MYW package. You should have received another Mickey Mail with the yellow luggage tags and Magical Express vouchers. Those usually arrive about 1-2 weeks before the MYW package. If you don't have them, make sure you call and let Disney know! You need the yellow tags for DME to pick up your luggage for you.

How exciting that you received your Mickey Mail!! My travel agent got ours yesterday and was mailing it this monrning along with some other goodies!! Whoo hoo!!! Have you found the Belle dress yet? I messaged Mrs. B yesterday about a Belle dress in a 2/3 for my youngest dd. I haven't heard back from her yet?!

Ooop!! Sorry--I must have missed where you said that! I'm running on very lttle sleep right now!

 

[chicagoshannon]

Don't forget the baby tylenol/motrin. I'm also bringing advil for myself. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat for your son.

I know some people bring those misty fans too. I wasn't going to but after being out in the 80 degree heat here today I think I might have to track one down!

I definitely bought some advil for me and baby tylenol for Tyson. Here's some stuff I got last weekend

hair bands for me
headbands for me
moleskin
small brush to take in parks
bandaids
sunscreen for us
sunscreen for Tyson
aloe
disposable bibs
disposable sippy cups
small wallet to take in parks
camera case
batteries for fan, camera
diapers
wipes
snacks (gerber cereal bars, fruit punch, peaches, gerber diced apples, sunchips, waters, diet coke) but of course we're driving so we buy it ahead of time.


That's all I can think of other than stuff ya'll probably have already like sunglasses, flip flops, and bathing suits.

I hope that helps some.

I'm getting so excited.

 

[ineedmyblankie]

I'm so excited that I am seeing what you and others are bringing. We leave on MONDAY!!! I don't even know if you remember me at this point b/c I dropped off the DISboards to get DD's birthday party set and starting doing more Disney stuff. I will be going through my packing list today and tomorrow. If I remember, I will post the stuff here.

As for the Magical Express though, I took a snapshot of mine for you so that you could see what they look like.

I've also been trying to figure out how much luggage we are going to end up with. I admit I haven't read your blog in a long time (and mine failed b/c I didn't keep it up ). Anyway, I'm sure you've probably mentioned this already, but how many bags are you bringing?

Just to add to what Brandi has already listed..............
Don't forget cell phone chargers or any other type charger for walkie talkies, batteries etc. I always bring hand sanitizer, baby wipes, a Tide pen, and neosporin. I also bring Tums, Pepto, and lots of zip lock bags, large and small, and a couple of 30 gallon trash bags. I look like I am moving in when we first arrive, but by the end of the trip I am glad I had all the stuff. Hope this helps.

It is getting down to the nitty gritty . I am really getting excited because I am down to 8 work days left before I start my 17 day vacation.

 

[ineedmyblankie]

OK, I jumped back a few pages and see that you are trying to check one bag and take one carry-on. Is that right? If you can manage that, then . I think that we will try to get everything in 2 suitcases and then we will have probably 3 carry-ons [(1) w/ extra outfits for all of us, camera, video cam; (2) w/ Evelyn's stuff; (3) diaper bag].

I must ask...where did you get the cute Minnie shirt that DD is going to wear to AK? I may need to find one this weekend!

Like I said, I have been back at following threads unless my friend sends me a link for them. Some of the things are the new hot air balloon rides in DTD and the new picnic lunch you can get at AK. If you haven't seen those and want links, let me know and I'll find them. Another random tidbit I picked up was that the pool at POP at least allows inflatable toys. I picked up cheap inflatable floating toys for both kids to ride in.

Also, if you haven't thought about it, we are making little info tags/badges for both kids. It will have a pic of them w/ their names on it and then underneath it has individual pics of DH and I w/ our cell phone numbers. I'm going to laminate them and put them in a badge holder. I already bought lanyards and DS is kind of excited about her "pink necklace."

Hi Brandi - I know you popped in my blog eons back also! Thanks for the list of things. I will make sure I have them on my list too.

Alright, I really must go pack now!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Here is a great thread about all the things people pack to make their trips easier!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1082988

But if you don't want to sort through all of those ideas, here are a few things I always pack:

small first aid kit
neosporin
tylenol for Emily
advil for us
moleskin
body glide
small scissors
battery operated clip fans
small screwdriver (for battery operated fans)
pop up hamper ($1 store)
ponchos, just in case ($1 store)
pump hand soap (the bar soap always gets too gooey!)
rechargeable batteries and charger
camera battery chargers
wipes
diapers
pre-soaped sponges (these are great for washing bottles/sippies! I cut up a regular sponge in to quarters, squirt dish soap on them and set them out to dry overnight. When needed, just add water!)
clorox wipes (travel pack to wipe down our airplane seats & trays, GERMS!!!)
peppermint leg/foot lotion for rejuvinating my feet and legs over night

I think that is all for now!

 

[bertegirl]

Thanks girls...Brandi I just printed out your list and then added what everyone else chimed in. I can only say I had about 3 things you all mentioned...so thanks you are all lifesavers.

My husband is making me ask...what is body glide?

I will post a photo when we get back from Target. And I though all I needed were wipes and sippy cups!

ALSO...I officially got my 1st 2 kids for daycare. Yippie!!! One is Austins age and 1 is pregnant.
