I'm here too! Hard to reply with a squirmy baby. I remember those trips where it was just the two of us - you're going to have such a good time! Congrats on getting the reservations you wanted!!

Awe, cute squirmy baby ^_^

Thank you very much! And now you'll have magic added to your trips, a cute little one to soak in the magic
And thanks about the reservations, I stalked them so hard lol

We have finally paid in full!

These past 2 weeks have been really hard on us, financially. My car went kaput and we had to rush around and get a new used car. We did get one and I love it, but it was just an extra expense that we really didn't need.
We were preparing to buy a car in early December, when we had more $$ ... guess things just sneak up on you.

We're still on 'survival' mode right now due to some major screw up at the bank. We're clinging on to our trip now more than ever lol
Though, we've decided to 'cash in' our Disney Points from our Disney card, which will help with the spending costs during our vacation

That's really what's going on in my world.

My new used car: 2008 Honda Fit (43k miles)

Oh my gosh! We got BOG Lunch Fastpass reservation window! Holy crud, so excited!
Was kind of stressing when we have to get in line for it cause DH really wants to go. So glad we can just go in, eat and go

Hooray!!! You have to report back on how the new fastpass reservations work for you!

I definately will in my TR, I am getting prepared to write my TR. Going to make sure I have pleanty of memory in my camera and that I take as many documenting photos that I can! Also will be bringing a notepad and HOPEFULLY a mini one around with me so I can write stuff down before I forget ... to include in the main notepad
As I said in your thread, I have a bit of an issue remembering things, so I just write it down as it happens. Also found that it is GREAT to relive memories

Got some Mickey Mail today ^_^

Got our Magical Express tickets and tags for our arrival at AKL ... DVC Villas! We are just so excited. We should be getting the rest of our stuff soon hopefully, but the CBR package was booked through a Travel Agent

 

[MeeskaMomma]

How exciting? Did you get magic bands? I am still confused on how far they have rolled that program out?

 

[Alysa]

Yeah for Mickey mail! That always makes an evening better. What else are you expecting from the post?

Yes, we do have the magic band for our stay at CBR Oct. 30th - Nov. 5th (free dining). As far as I know, only till the end of Oct. have people gotten the magic bands. Please correct me if I'm wrong though, the November 2013 thread has been waiting for them.

Yeah for Mickey mail! That always makes an evening better. What else are you expecting from the post?

I'm expecting our Magic Bands in a week or so (countdown says Sept.30th) and I still need the package information for our CBR stay. Since it's a package it includes some of those coupon thingies. Plus our DME tickets for our ride back to the airport
We already have our MNSSHP tickets though!

30 Days! One month until we go to Disney!!
One month from today we will be flying, on our way to AKL DVC ^_^ We are so excited about this!



Though, I just realized something today; we only have 5 ADRs ... it has been confirmed ... we have 6 TS Credits
Yeah, so here I am, 30ish days out and trying to find some restaurants. Our #1 Choice is CRT on Oct. 31st or Nov. 3rd (dinner). If we got this, I would cancel our Akershus ressie.
If that's just impossible then, I would very much enjoy a 7:30pm-ish reservation at Rose & Crown on Oct. 30th. But the only reservation that day is at 6pm ... and I want to try and score an illuminations spot! We'll see. Tokyo Dining is always a backup.

 

[MeeskaMomma]

30 days hooray! I hope you get your ADRs!

 

[Amunet]

Thank you!

As of right now, we booked Tokyo Dining for 7:30pm on the 30th. We want to try and get a window table for Illuminations. We've actually never seen Illuminations XD

Of course, if CRT or Ohana Dinner open up, we'll do those (on other dates though)

 

[Amunet]

Whooh! So figured out the whole dining situation. We added Boma to our plans ^_^

 

[MeeskaMomma]

Hooray! ixiedust:

 

[Amunet]

I'm kind of feeling sadly apprehensive about staying at CBR. For me, going to Disney means staying at one of the Port Orleans resorts ... it just feels like home to me while at Disney. You know, it's like ... I'm not at Disney unless I'm either at POFQ or POR.

Don't think we can change anything now because of our free dining promotion. But I'm feeling a bit sad. I think that's why I don't feel as excited to go, it's cause we won't be staying at Port Orleans.

Though, don't get me wrong, we're going on a Disney vacation and staying on resort, that's amazing! But ... I don't know ... just something feels different.

 

[Alysa]

I felt that way about wilderness lodge so I added a day at the end. Can you try that? Just to get your fix and yet keep your free dining?

 

[Amunet]

I would love to! But we can't We already added the day before our whole trip at AKL (DVC Rental). Maybe that will help us get in the mood?
Though, we're going for the F&W, so being so close to Epcot is a good thing, right?

 

[Amunet]

Okay, I'm going to make this list so I do not forget the treats we want to sample while on our vacation ^_^ Some are just for MNSSHP and some are just for fun. Either way, we've never tried any, so we're excited to try!
