August planners, lets plan together!

[Mister-Disney]

Only 18 days to go! Packing for us starts pretty soon! I'm so excited! 3 weeks from now, we'll be in the AK! Wahoo!

Wow!! I'm starting to get really nervous...we leave on the 13th! We've never been to disneyworld before, and it's sort of overwhelming! We're booked a week at CSR 15th-22nd, and then a week w/free dining at ASMu, 22nd-29th. I've got all our meals planned out, but haven't even started on the ride/park schedule.

I am joining in and doing the happy dance too. Anyone else going to have their lime green Mickey heads from Home Depot with them??? We've has such a miserable summer up here in Ontario, Canada, I can't wait for Disney... That and the kids again don't know we are going.... They think we are going to Hershey, PA....hehehehehe.... My hubby is making a DVD with a few animations on it and a friend of his is voicing it. plus when we stop at the rest centre, the kids and I will leave the van and when they come back they'll discover the Disney Stuffed animals that hubby bought.

Where abouts in Ontario are you from? I'm in Bowmanville, about 45 minutes east of Toronto. Which resort? POP for us. We leave in 3 weeks. Your kids a going to love their surprise. Have a great time!

I say NOPE its never too early. I have all our clothes packed up and ready to go (26 days left). My bag for the park is packed and stocked to go. This is our first trip so I may be going overboard early, but as soon as I got our luggage tags I packed up the bags and put the tags on..I know I have issues.:

 

[mrstomrice]

I started making piles and lists. Soon I will pack the pool and park bags. Since we are driving, I bought some breakfast items while they were on sale. The top of my closet is the holding place for all of the Disney clothing as it comes back clean in the laundry. We leave in 18 days!

Just curious if anyone has gotten the e-mail from Disney offering a discounted merchandise gift card yet? It would cost $395 for a $500 merchandise credit

 

[campbellus]

No I have NEVER recieved an e-mail with any code or discount for things and I belong to every list/forum I can find...I would LOVE to get an e-mail with this gift card code in it as I know I will spend $395 while at disney and having $500 to do it would just be a super/duper bonus!!
How can I get me one of these things?? What list am I not on to start getting these special room rate codes and other special discounts like these???
