TBH I'm not sure. I *think* the magical agent was in the process of doing it? ME had our flight info. from our magical agent.
Usually we are spoiled with our terrific CAA travel agent who does all of our Disney trips - just couldn't pass up on the magical deal at Beach Club though...
Just glad tags are on the way and will be here on time

I just got my "Mickey Mail" today. My yellow ME tags were part of the booklet but......it says Pop Century Aug. 20th on them - the start of our package, not my room only reservation. I think my problem is that I booked the ME myself months ago. Disney sent my luggage tags to the address of the magical deal. Now I have to get in touch with one of their agents.

Well, glad you got your POP tags; our POFQ starts August 20th, so now I'll be haunting the mailbox for those Always exciting to get Mickey Mail
If you can't get in touch with your magical agent, perhaps just call ME and give them your reservation #. Once I got through, it was quick and easy. They may issue you more tags. Good luck!

I just spent a half hour getting transferred around through ME. They keep telling me because I booked through the magical agency, only the magical agency can send my luggage tags. I called her and emailed her. Hopefully, she'll get back to me soon. She's been amazing!

Mickey Mail is exciting though. I bet you'll get yours tomorrow!

Our magical agent has been really good too. It's just different dealing with someone on-line vs someone you physically visit and get your tickets / tags,etc from. Since ME had our flight info (recently passed on by magical agent) she had our reservation # and offered to send us tags. I love having bags just 'appear' in our resort rooms! Good luck.

12 more days! Totally forgot one of our suitcases broke last year. Off to be a new suitcase today. Got to start packing.

Yes, my agent has our yellow tags. She is going to send them to me. All is well!

Started going through Disney t-shirts for our trip...found two more for one of my daughters at Target yesterday. I need to have her try on the ones I've bought so far to make sure they fit! I've been planning out my wardrobe and I think I'm going with skirts most of the time instead of shorts. I think they'll be much cooler and more comfortable. I've picked up several really great knit, round skirts that are SO comfortable and really cute. My daughter just got back from a year and a half in Honduras and she said skirts were much more comfortable in the hot, humid climate than other clothing. So I need to get my outfits planned out and ready to go. We're still debating about whether we'll drive one car or two -- with four adults and one 16 year old (who is taller than her sister and me!), we need space. My husband's Avalon is quite roomy and comfortable, but we might have a dog with us (dropping her off to my sister), and with our luggage and three of us who get car sick and want to sit in the front seat, I think two cars would be a better option. We have four drivers, so we could easily take turns with the driving. I just hate to pay gas for two vehicles, but I think it will be the most comfortable way to go. So that still needs to be decided.

I decided against a Garden Grocer order. Since we'll be spending a couple of days in Georgia with my family and then caravanning down to WDW with my parents and they'll have plenty of room in their car for food, Mom is going to pick up cases of water, breakfast items, snacks, fruit, etc., and those will come down with us in Mom and Dad's car.

My daughters have requested the time off work for the trip (already approved but they had to submit the paperwork) so that is done, and my leave request has been approved. Now I just need the next few weeks to pass quickly!

ahhh 12 more days....I don't feel ready. I think I'm in between planned too much and not enough, is that even possible.

18 days to go!!!!! We received our 1st set of magic bands yesterday and the second set is on their way. We haven't received any of our ME paperwork or the coupons for our MYW package. I've asked my travel agent about it several times and she keeps telling me that they will arrive 10 - 14 before arrival. From what everyone else is saying that isn't the case. Last year ours arrived way earlier than this. I would call myself but since I went through a travel agent they won't talk to me.

Those are great! I have painted mine and did the glitter thing last year, but those are really pretty. Did she make the design herself?

The flourish pattern for the vinyl came from somewhere online.

We decorated all three sets yesterday. I found cute stencils at Michaels that we used and then my DS loves Minecraft so he decorated his on his own. They came out pretty good. I am happy with the results.

We are at 10 days!! We booked last September. I cannot believe it is here already!!

 

[hiddenl1fe]

Got our Magic Bands today!!

We are at 8 days right now. Tomorrow is the final hurdle before the finish line. Fingers crossed and pixie dust swirling. If the news tomorrow is good, then we will have a whirlwind week of work, packing and prepping for our trip. We also booked over a year ago and can't believe we are so close, yet still so far away....

Woohoo! My spouse and two daughters (age 3 & 6) and I will be at OKW August 18-28th! Just applied to the FB group and in the fun planning and dreaming stages! I hope we won't be too overwhelmingly hot!

We got our ME tags and our tickets yesterday. Still waiting on our new Magic Bands and also the Band Covers I ordered on Etsy. I'm so not crafty and am more than willing to pay someone to do something artistic for me.

I'm thinking of skirts and dresses this year as shorts just get so hot. My only concern with this is where to stash my phone as I usually put it in my pocket. We'll have a stroller and a stroller bag for snacks and stuff, but I certainly don't want to leave my phone in there.

Ahh well, minor details. Just want to get there and enjoy!

I carry a small-ish crossbody bag in the parks (love my Disney Vera Bradley hipster bag but carried a different small one for earlier trips) and I keep my wallet, phone, and medication in my crossbody. The Vera Bradley hipster bag is also large enough and strong enough to hold my water bottle. I'm going to keep my small point and shoot camera in my bag because I love taking pictures and DH...well, not so much. He'll carry the backpack with snacks, misters, Frogg Toggs, and the bigger, better camera.

We need to pre-order our BOG breakfast and lunch this week. Anyone else doing this? We can't decide what we want. Decisions. Decisions.

We are today . I've heard the pork is good, but my DH had the beef sandwich last time & loved it, so he's having it again. I had the Croque Madame & while it was ok I think I'll try the pork.

Kids have no choice. They don't like anything on the lunch or dinner menu but grilled cheese & fries. We substitute fries for the gross tomato soup at dinner.

I love the beef sandwich and French onion soup. I think my husband is going to try the pork this time. My son will eat anything and can't really decide. I might order him the turkey sandwich. I think I might just order fries for my daughter. We don't like the tomato soup at BOG either.

Breakfast is harder for us. I'm gonna go check out some pictures before I decide.
