I't just a question of how many tank tops changes we bring for Paul and how many changes of pairs of shoes for Alicia.
And for the record, I do wear shirts other than tank tops!! 
There's just not enough "action" on this thread!
Good afternoon ABD peeps!
I realize that this is a bit slow at the moment, but there is little that can be done until ABD allows us to start the booking process.
I will keep y'all posted when I know anything....but it could be a while.
Yeah...Can't remember the last time I got me some unofficial action...
Is ABD firm on their luggage policy?
Please limit your baggage to one piece of luggage per person plus one carry-on.
With the 50 pound rule on the airlines, I am thinking that after all the shopping we do that I might need another bag. What is everyone else planning on bringing?
I, for one, am glad this thread is moving slowly. It allows me to maintain my job AND also follow the thread. I admit that my work actually suffered so much before the cruise that I had to take myself off the boards.
There shouldn't be any dressy clothing needed unless you're doing something on your own. From the trip reports I've read, our usual WDW clothes will be fine.
I contacted BradK on our boards about his trip reports because I remembered them being very, very good. He sent me back the following. It's a shame that he didn't finish, but what he did do helped me confirm what we want to do in the couple of days we're going out there early. In case anyone else wants to peek ahead, here they are: (whole thing is a giant SPOILER so be aware)

sorry for the delayed response, I was hoping to have something better, but.. I don't
i never finished the report i wrote... whatever I do have is at http://www.stitchkingdom.com/abdblog
i recently wrote something up for the WB tour, which you can find at http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...udio-tour.html
i know i've written on the universal tour somewhere... but i dunno where right now
With THREE of us on the trip, I think you can practically guarantee that both Paul and Alicia may make a flattie appearance in California!

Yeah...
I admit, I have been silent over here. Trust me, I can get chatty. I've just had a VERY busy past two weeks.
DD6 just finished Kindergarten. Today was her last day of school.
My "baby girl" is all grown up. I was her Room Mom and also helped coordinate a school-wide Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony. Phew! That was a HUGE undertaking. We did the whole cap and gown graduation with singing, refreshments and a balloon release outside at the end. The kids loved it! That made all the hard work and planning worthwhile to me.
We head to WDW a week from Saturday (roadtrip). We arrive on Sunday, June 21st (Father's Day). I called Disney Dining yesterday to tweak some reservations and threw in a few surprises for DH. We are staying at SSR. I heard they have an amazing spa. So on our arrival day, I booked DH for a massage. That will be his Father's Day present. He has been hinting he wants the House boxed set. That will have to wait. I can't wait to see his expression when we head to the spa instead of the pool (I have it all planned out in my head
). The last massage he had was last year on CC during our couples-cabana massage. He thoroughly enjoyed it (as did I!). Initially, we were suppose to depart WDW on Friday, June 26th. As a surprise, I booked us for the weekend (June 26th - 28th) at the Yacht Club resort. More Disney fun!!!!!
Also for DH's birthday on June 25th, I booked Kid's Nite Out. So, we can have a childless dinner at Tutto Italia. DH loves Italian food. He has always wanted to eat at Tutto Italia. But, I heard it was expensive and we wanted to save it for just DH and I. Epcot has EMH that night. So, I plan to return to a room with three sleeping children.
This ABD trip is still a surprise. I am AWFUL at surprises. I want to tell DH so badly. But, I want to wait until his birthday too. I got notification of his other birthday present today. I purchased him a Legacy paver at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. They sent me a brick engraved with what I put on the paver and a certificate.
This is what I put on the paver:
#1 Cowboys fan
UR #1 in my heart!
Happy Bday Bill
DH was born and raised in Texas (Dallas area). As expected, he is a die-hard Cowboys fan.So, I thought this was extremely appropriate for him.

Two Questions:
Anyone eat at Tutto Italia?
Anyone have experience with the spa at SSR?
I remember it well. I love lil ones! Teens- well they are such a challenge and make me stay on my toes LOL
I have quoted my three wives to let you all know how envious I am!! This trip sounds awesome! I had better be a flattie!!
aint I a wife?? LOLIs ABD firm on their luggage policy?

??? I fly SW and can take 2 bags for FREE and a carry one! I will need that if we extend the trip. Please tell me I can!
I've been thinking about the question of who should hold the bail money......still think "I" am the logical choice.....I mean.....think about it.
Hey what about me
I will bring you along if you fill my pockets with $$$ for the shopping!!
I believe the man you're married to is Don.
I wonder if the folks at ABD read this board.
We are bring "extra wives" and "flatties".
I'm really not sure they are ready for this group.......
Ok....while this doesnt count as "official action"....I will give my opinion.
On some Adventures, you move from hotel to hotel several times. This is usually done via motorcoach (ok....bus) and luggage restrictions are fairly well enforced.
As we are making only one move from Hollywood to the GC....I dont know that this will be as big a problem.
Keep in mind that there are 40 of us...and some of us are "overpackers". I'm not mentioning names (PW) but I would not be opposed to giving hints (PW) if anyone wanted a hint (PW).
Also....It's my impression from what I have read and heard that this is a fairly active Adventure.
While I havent dont this particular Adventure....we did the Italy Adventure and the idea of more than one outfit a day never croseed anyone's mind. I think some days they were lucky we were dressed at all.
I'd make sure comfortable shoes are included as well as a sweater / jacket / sweatshirt. It's my understanding that it can be chilly at that time of year.
Hope this helps. (PW)
