****August, 2012!!!****

GOOD MORNING TEAM AUGUST!!!!! You know, you all have such great ideas on clothing, etc. I admit for chafing I use plain ole corn starch. That's something my mom always used, so I do now.

Stan, Stan, Stan.......speedo? enough said.....

I'm patiently waiting for Mickey Mail, too!!!!

 

[jm106]

We find swim shorts can be hot- they don't breath much. We do it sometimes if we are planning to go onto parks for short while then right to pool. We like light weight cotton shorts or thin basketball are good too.

Tell me more about the corn startch! Do you just rub it on like a powder?

I am anxiously waiting my Disney package as well! Our payment deadline was July 11th so i called just to make sure we had a 0 balance, and was told yes and that the packages are supposed to be processed the day after the deadline for your payment, and mailed out within a week. I don't know if this is correct due to the fact that i have been getting different answers from CM's about everything this trip, but I am hoping!!!! I was my papers that make it REAL, REAL! like luggage tags and coupon books, you know!!!

My deadline was July 11th also! Still no package!

 

[ashmarie06]

Has anyone done a list yet anywhere of where everyone is going to be each day? I know Nikki did a really helpful ones of ADRs each day.

If not, I'll be happy to do one up. I'll also ask if you plan to be there for RD (so us crazy RD'ers can hunt for each other). Hopefully, this will be also helpful to arrange DisMeets!

And for those who "wing it", just post your overall vacation dates and I'll have a "wing it" list.

Just list:

Date
Park
whether you plan to be there for RD.

I'll post it like this:

Tell me more about the corn startch! Do you just rub it on like a powder?

Yep, just rub it on like powder. It's very absorbent!!!! I keep mine in a little glass container I got from the Kraft Parmesan cheese promo.....ok, that was tmi, wasn't it???

 

[Aliceacc]

We leave in 2 1/2 weeks!

There's a bin in my dining room, with stuff I want to remember to pack, or stuff I've picked up along the way. It's getting close to overflowing.

Some of what it includes:
- disposable cameras for the kids
- 4 Mistymate misters
- WAYY too many disposable raincoats; I must have shopped twice without realizing it
-shampoo and conditioner
- sunscreen
- ear plugs for my daughter who had swimmer's ear a week ago
- pins and lanyards
- my Baggalini Disney bag
- glow bracelets from Oriental Trading
- at least one fanny pack

and I'm not sure what else. Time to bring up another bin from the basement!!!

 

[RetroCOTfan]

OK, you convinced me I'm going to wear my Speedo and only wear my Speedo to the parks. Mothers you may want to hide you children's eyes. Don't say I didn't give you fair warning.

It will be interesting to see where you put your LGMH.

Learn something new everyday on these boards. I may have to try that. It would be way cheaper than buying something special.

Shouldn't be too hard, we'll have our have bride and groom ball cap ears on if it's not too crazy HOT... Getting pretty psyched.

Got my mickey mail today! woohoo! (For those waiting, my payment due date was July 1 and it was printed on July 5, mailed July 11)

Question: Will I get Mickey Mail even though I'm driving or is it just for those of you who are flying and need your ME tags? Just wondering if I should quit getting my hopes up each day when I check my mail.

 

[Heidi Lou]

You will get it even if you are driving as long as you are staying at Disney!

 

[mrstomrice]

One month to go...I just realized that! Yahoo

This trip is a surprise for the boys. They know we are going in December. We had no intentions of going in August, but as previously posted we couldn't resist the cheap airfare...then we remembered that we could borrow our 2013 points for DVC, so we changed our previous plans to go to Ohio to a trip to Disney.
Anyway, my point is that I need some help surprising the boys with the trip. At this point they think we're going to the beach. We fly out of Atlantic City. They likely assume we are going to OCNJ, our normal beach, because we haven't said anything otherwise. I can use that as part of the surprise. I thought we could have a scavenger hunt or give clues on the way. One clue I can give is about the resort...SSR...and it's connection to horse racing. I can't give many clues about Disney since my boys know a lot about already and I want to keep it a surprise for as long as we can, until we get to the airport and they see we are going to Orlando.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
