Hey guys! thought I would pass along some news...I subscribe to touring plans and TGM and touring plans has DRAMATICALLY dropped the predicted crowd levels during our planned dates!!!

 

[timandlesley]

Hey guys, so things have been crazy behind the scenes with Disney planning.
Our Crocs arrived this week. I got GREAT deals at CROCS.com so we all have brand new crocs for the trip, pics to come.
Tim and Lauren went down to the nearest Disney store (45 min. away) today and got some GREAT deals, he bought 3 tshirts for me that are now my favorites, I can't choose just one, some for him, for the kids, bathing suit for Lauren and sunglasses for the kids, pics to come on those too
JUNE HOURS ARE OUT!!! I've been like a mad woman with my calendars, Tour Guide Mike, Touring Plans, dining plans, etc. trying to get everything to work. I'm waiting on Tour Guide Mike to post his best days which should be soon and I'll have our June schedule done and will post, so stay tuned
Well, gotta get back to planning but wanted to update ya'll, stay tuned We're getting CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing pics. of your new purchases. Exciting now that you know the actual hour now I bet! Sure makes it a lot easier to plan. We are planning our first ever trip to Disneyland and they wait SOOO much longer to put hours out. We go in May and don't expect the hours to be out until possibly the beginning of April.

I'm so excited that June hours are out!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Can't wait to see the pics of all the purchases!

I can just imagine the whirlwind of planning you have been doing -- it's been the same for me since June hours were posted.

 

[lmillercrew]

Yeah shopping!!

 

[Trentmom]

Can't wait to see all your great deals

 

[disneyfan61]

I love seeing the pics of all your "loot". Can't wait to see the latest!! I just got some cute t shirts from disneyshopping.com. Now if Spring would just get here!!

 

[MegansMom]

I noticed Lesley that you reference both TGM and UG for best days to tour info---are they pretty similar? Does one offer better advice over the other? I was just wondering if I should look into checking out TGM---never have used him before. Thanks for your help! Glad to hear that Tim got some CRAZY good shopping done!!!!

That is our favorite store--we seriously are regulars there.....I'm pretty sure the staff recognize us when we walk in!!! (I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing?!?!?!!? ) I like to go in there for quick walk throughs alot because you never know what you are going to find on sale---they are changing their sales all the time!!! I'll post here if I ever see any REALLY good sales for sure!!! A dis meet would be LOTS of fun---Megan and Lauren are the same age! I'm glad you found some good things!!! Can't wait to see them!

Hey guys, so after this coming week is over we will officially have less than 100 days until our trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I've been neglectful the past few days it has just been super busy around here the past week.
I will take pics of our new CROCS and Disneystore purchases here very soon and get those up.
I'm still waiting on Tour Guide Mike's best days.
What we did decide though is on our check in day at SSR I have planned a morning off/downtown Disney morning/afternoon and we want to eat at the new T-Rex restaraunt, it sounds fun. So I am planning for that and eating out of pocket. Looks like DVC members get a discount. Does anyone know if they take reservations for it???? Has anyone eaten there???? Would love any advice on that.
ALSO, I read somewhere that now with Magical Express you only get ONE LUGGAGE TAG PER PERSON???:confused3 Is that true? Does anyone know more about that. Going for as long as we are I am going to need more than that, and it was part of the reason we were flying Southwest so I could put some food in extra bags, etc. and not have to pay for the up to 2 bags per person. If this IS the case I'll make each of the kids take their carryons loaded with snacks so we have room for souveniers on the way home.
Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend. It's supposed to be 72 and sunny here tomorrow. YEAH!!!!!!! We have circus tickets for tomorrow night, should be a good time.
Also, Lauren got a major haircut, it's above her shoulders now and sooooooooo cute, I just love it, we'll have to post a pic!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! I'll be posting my final itenerary and dining itinerary soon so be on the lookout.

Hi Lesley,

We ate at T-Rex in Jan. and we really enjoyed it, you get a ton of food! I'm not sure about the reservations part but we walked up and it was about a 20 minute wait I was surprised.

We got two luggage tags apiece when we went. I think that I remember reading that if you needed extra you just call and they will send them to you.

Hope this helps!

Hey guys! I was so happy to read your post because that means alomost 100 days for us too!! CAN'T WAIT! I have read that you can make reservations at T-Rex. I believe you have to call the restaurant directly to make the reservation though, I don't think Disney will do it? I HAVE NOT heard that about Magical Express! Interesting! Have you heard about the shipped items fee? I believe it is $5 per package for bell services to hold your packages! We are still going to ship water but all this nickel and diming is ridiculous! Have fun at the circus! Can't wait to see all your pictures of your purchases!

Enjoy your weekend---I know we will with this amazing weather we have been having lately---hope it sticks around for good!!!! Can't wait to see all the pics of your new goodies and Lauren's new haircut---I bet she looks ADORABLE!!!!!

 

[mylag1rl]

Hi Lesley - Can't wait to see pics of the new crocs and Lauren's haircut. T'REx sounds like a fun meal. Not sure if this helps but when we went back in August you received two luggage tags per person. That could have changed.

 

[pmama]

Yep I'm pretty sure I read that Magic Express only allows one bag per person now. I'm not sure if they allow more at an extra charge or not.
