Going back to our 'happy place" w/pics link to my trip report( 9/7)

[zigzagzerr]

Sounds like you've gotten everything included!

I think our plan is the get the fp's for EE, then do Dinoland, Kali, a show, EE with the fp's,

then grab fp's for the Safari before lunch.

Safari and then whatever we feel like after lunch. Till we're too hot to go on.....

Sorry for your cold, my daughter has the same thing. I told her she only has 3 more days to get over it.....

 

[dismom9761]

I hope you feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think your plan looks very doable! I think you could even get EE done before lunch! I know your fastpass will be pretty early in the day if you get if first thing. I love AK!

HI!I am feeling slightly better. Last year I got FP first thing and they were good at a little after 10:00am. We love AK too but it is sooo hot.

Since it's my first time....sorry I can't offer any advice but I wanted to tell you that I love that picture of your dad, he looks like he's having so much fun!

Hope you feel better soon!!!

That is my favorite picture of him that whole trip.He went to WDW expecting to watch the grandkids have fun but not thinking he would be able to do the rides.He was surprised at what he COULD do.

Sounds like you have a good plan too. We are going to do Safari first because we heard that the animals are more active before it gets too hot.Plus I just wanna get it out of the way. I am feeling a little better today but Tyler is getting the cold and Peyton is complaining about ear pain. As long as everyone gets sick and better before we go it will be alright.

I wanted to post my plan of attack for MGM tonight but it has me stumped.I think I will go back to packing.I think ziploc therapy is just what I need.

HI!! Thanks,that's my favorite picture.

When I booked this trip I booked it with one day tickets for all of us.I had not decided how many days we needed or if we wanted hoppers.Well I have decided on six day tickets and hoppers.I was going to wait until we got there but mom and I realized that if we paid for them now we would get the points on the Disney Visa. So today I called and it is done!!!!

My next dilemma has been carrying my baggallini.Last year I took a backpack and had it stuffed to the max. Could I really go down to the baggallini?I know I read that it holds alot but....well here is what I need it to hold
Baggallini
chapstick
mine and Rachel's sunglasses
Rachel autograph book and pen( i don't have it yet so I used the old one)
bandaids
cash
cell phone
debit card
penlight
hand sanitizer
health insurance card
small notebook for report??(I haven't decided about this)
Rachel extra outfit in ziploc
small book w/ ADRs ,etc
pen for me and sharpie
ponchos for me and Rachel
park tickets
tissue pack
wipes
Rachel lanyard
a few snacks
sippy cup(she doesn't usually use one but we drink Crystal Light and I did not want all her pictures to have a purple ring around her mouth. I will actually take an insulated one and have to get one)
It worked out perfectly!!There is still room to spare!!

hey amy

i know its been a coupla days, i am nearing serious panic mode just knowing that you are so incredibly organized....can i brag and say that i washed our new tshirts and i bought a few pairs of shorts AND I have started laying out the items that we wont need before our trip...

but i do need to let you in on my happy surprise....I rolled $123 in coins last night while watching the Braves..

bart wants a purty green bag like yours to tote

 

[dismom9761]

15 days left!!!!

Here is a picture of Peyton wearing his cousin's Hannah Montana wig.

Now I am going to go try to figure out how to plan my MGM day.Any advice????My problem is we spent two days there last year and only have a half day there this time.

 

[punkin413]

my advice: skip the great movie ride and narnia!!! i'm just saying that because we thought they were both huge wastes of time. my must-dos for MGM are RnRC, ToT and beauty and the beast. i enjoy some of the other stuff but none of it's required in my book. but that's me. can you list everything off by importance and do the most important stuff first? it's not a very big park so it's no big deal if you have to backtrack a little. i hope you're going the second half of the day so you'll catch fantasmic!

If you haven't visited Steve Soares WDW Live Entertainment site already, it's worth a look-see! Gives you the show times before you arrive so you can plan a little easier....

Well the only things I have layed out are the kids Disney tshirts and the stuff for my Baggallini.I have sooo much todo. I think I will pack this weekend and the kids can wear what is left over next week.
$123 is great!!!I need to roll my silver change but I was hoping to get the jat full first.

He can just carry mine in the parks. I think he'd look purty in lime.

I agree about the Great Movie Ride but my dad likes it. I think it may be because its air conditioned.Our must dos are RnRC,Beauty and the Beast,Little Mermaid,parade,Star Tours,Animation drawing class,Playhouse Disney,and the Highschool Musical Pep rally.Plus I would like it if Rachel could go to the concert that is happening that day. It just doesn't look like that is all gonna fit in one day.We have ressies at Coral Reef at 6:00pm,so we need to leave by 4:00pm??We will be coming back on another night to see Fantasmic.

Why no RnRC??That is our favorite!I forgot abot the Muppet movie!

Hi!

I think she said no RnRC becasue it's closed from 9/4-10-/4 I believe. What day were you planning on being at MGM?

Love the pics again!

Just starting your report but had to tell you how CUTE your kids are!!! My dd used to be a huge Mary Poppins fan and when she turned 4 my Mom (who is British) called her pretending to be MP. Dd totally fell for it and it was great! We saw the show in London last Nov. and really enjoyed it. Back to reading!
