Love your "must do's" for MK!! i agree with you, Space Mtn is by far better than what it was before! (Def darker!) I hope you get to ride it with a not-too-long wait ;)

Hey(:
Aww, thanks! I try to keep everything organized, it just makes it so much easier!
Thanks, I'm really looking forwad to riding SM again, it's one of my favorite rides:goodvibes
 
**I'll get to Detailed Day 2 plans soon, hopefully!**

When I got home today, my mom told me that our luggage tags had arrived! Of course, I ran inside and right to the kitchen table (:

You know your vacation is getting closer when the luggage tags arrive

Some pics for your viewing pleasure (sorry for the bad pics, my mom has the camera, so I had to use my phone)

I'm so excited! 35 days!
 

Now that I'm back from my trip, I need to catch up over here with you. I did see you got the luggage tags, so YAY for that! Very exciting!
 
Wednesday, July 7thThis will be our first full day!!
So, my plan is EPCOT, not really sure if we'll go as I planned, because everyone else in my family likes to just "go with the flow" while I'd rather have a plan. So, just as a reminder, our parks may get mixed up as different days. But, whatever! We'll still be eating/doing the same things I'll be putting down as our initiary!

Enough rambling...

My parents will wake up before us, my dad may go to the GF's gym- last trip since the POP didn't have a gym, he'd go jogging around the POP, but the GF has a gym, so he'll probably use it.

The kids will wake up around nine since *if things go as planned* we wouldn't have had too late of a night the night before.

Breakfast in the room, as usual, my parents may use a snack credit to get a bagel or muffin at GF's CS.

We'll get dressed, get our bags, and head to EPCOT! My favorite park!

Now, for my MUST DO's for EPCOT!

-A Kim Possible Mission
Ever since our November trip, I've wanted to do a KP mission, they just look so fun! Well, I found out about them at the end of the Nov. trip (I think) so it was too late then. In Feb. we were only there for two days so we didn't do it then, and in April we were there for 5 days but decided not to do it until the summer. So now, I MUST DO it!
-Soarin'
We waited about an hour and a half-two hours in line in April with my aunt, uncle, and cousins, and I realized how much I love it! I've ridden it before, but for some reason it was better this time, maybe because I was with my cousins? Either way, I loved it!

Lunch will be at EPCOT... Mexico/China CS. Yes, like I've said before, we immigrate and bring food to other countries. Isn't that what it's all about?

After EPCOT, we'll go back to GF and take a break, before heading out to our next park- HWS!

It's open until 11pm

My MUST DO for HWS is to ride RNRC! We didn't ride it in FEB. (we didn't go to HWS) didn't ride it in April (line too long) so I must ride my favorite ride this time!

Lunch will probably be at ABC Com.

After HWS, we'll head back to the GF for the end of day 2

'Supplies' and other trip related things

We got a packet for our trip!

(There's a lot more, but those pages are more interesting, lol)

It just talks about "new" and "exciting" things to do during our trip, and actually has a lot of cool things in it!

Today, I got some new summer clothes from Abercrombie! Perfect stuff for WDW(:

I won't bore you with clothes pics, so I'll end with them there

Oh, and 31 days! Tomorrow will be the 1 month mark!!
 
I think you'll like KP. Amy loves it Emily got tired of it and wanted to go off with DH after the first one. Have you ever done Sum of All Thrills?! You and your brothers will LOVE it.:goodvibes
You're getting so close to your trip.
Your clothes are so cute. I'd like to see the rest of them if you'd like to share. It's not boring.

Gimme a second, I'll put them on(:

A CHANGE IN PLANS
It happens.
It always does.
Sometimes good changes.
Sometimes bad changes.
May be fun.
May be boring.

So, what is the change, you may be thinking. Is it good? Bad?

Well, the change is good!
Yay!

Instead of leaving July 6th, driving allll day, and then having a few hours for park time... we're doing the same thing we did last summer; we'll be driving down July 5th and stop at the same hotel we did last time, stay there that night, then drive the two hours to WDW July 6th!

A little more detailed:
July 5th: Wake up, (breakfast in the car? Chick fil a?) start the drive down to Flordia, drive 7 hours, stop in Jacksonville at...

We'll probably have Subway or pizza for dinner, which we'll eat in the hotel room.

We'll go to sleep early getting ready for the next day!

July 6th
We'll wake up early, have breakfast at the hotel, pack up, check out, and hit the road to WDW!

We'll check into the GF by noon (maybe earlier).

Plans will go accordingly from here on out, except, we'll have more time at the parks

So, let's look at the good and bad of this plan

Pros:
-Only have to drive 7 hours max on a day
-Get to leave a day earlier
-Vacation officialy starts a day earlier
-More park time July 6th

Cons:
-We'll be two-three hours away from my happy place, just sitting there, lol

Countdown
EXACTLY ONE MONTH :cool1: :dance3: :woohoo:
