I've used these packing cubes for years. They do make the packing much more organized.

probably a long shot.. but is anyone doing WOC dessert party on the 9th?

I am not the OP, but I use compression packing cubes. They sell just packing cubes that do not compress and compression packing cubes. Here is a link to what I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZYT2V3X?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
They have a double zipper and they have made it so I can bring enough clothing for our 2 week road trip to not have to do laundry. Everything fits in my Vera Bradley Disney duffle.

Doh! I wish I had seen these or asked earlier! I don't think I have the funds left in my budget for these this time around. Oh well! Next trip!!

Speaking of next trip, my hubby keeps saying his biggest fear for our current trip is that I'll get home and just start planning another one. I keep saying, "What's wrong with that?" If only he knew.... (in my head I'm already thinking maybe WDW next!!! )

Lol, DH and I typically start planning our next trip while we are on the current one!

I’ll do you one better, my DH and I start planning another trip while we are planning the current one even though they will be years apart!

There are 2 cycles in life; planning a Disney trip and going on a Disney trip. Thems just the rules.

I think I thrive on the planning/anticipating Disney trip more than the visit!

Forty-five minutes until the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade to Disneyland!

Yay! I am so excited to watch that in a few weeks when I am there. I’ll be catching it live on YouTube tonight though

We are settled into our park and fly hotel so we can catch our 6am flight from Portland down to SNA. I can't believe we are at one more sleep!

I'm so excited August is here, and it's so fun to share the excitement with all of you lovely people! I'm wishing all of my fellow August travelers the most magical experience!! Safe and happy travels, everyone!!

(I'm down to 3 days before we leave for our trip, and 8 before we enter the gates!)

Oof. We're on the 6AM PDX-SNA a week from yours - next Sunday. I can't wait, but I know it's gonna be hard getting up to get to the airport on time!
Enjoy!

I am so excited for everyone on this thread! We leave on our epic journey on August 10th and after seeing the Grand Canyon we head to Anaheim! August 14th is our arrival date! It is a dream trip with 9.5 days in the parks! We are going big for my daughters’ high school graduation celebration trip!

Yeah... I’m thinking of that 3:00 am wake up call.

Yeah... I’m thinking of that 3:00 am wake up call.

On the 18th we have the 6am flight from Sea-SNA. This means I should go to bed at 7pm which is not going to happen.

Thanks for all the live updates and photos. Getting me excited for our trip!

 

[NorthernCalMom]

Fireworks last night (seen from our hotel room—we lucked out with the view). This morning we’ll drive back home. Trip report to come. I’m looking forward to hearing about all of your trips!!

Sitting in the Alaska Lounge sipping complimentary espresso while waiting to board a flight to Disneyland makes up for having to get out of bed at 3:00 am.

Let’s go Disney!
