I can't stand clutter and with 5 people in the same room it's unavoidable. Having the shoe slots to stash stuff was awesome! The girls always knew where the hairbrush was, sunscreen was easy to grab, makeup went in one... 
Your countdown looks great! I think relatively loose plans with room to tweak each day/night based on whatever is definitely the way to go.
Hurrah for more Mickey mail. Can't wait to get mine- probably another month or so for me. Going in mid-Oct. No PTR for me... I'm not good at keeping it updated. Although from time to time I am bursting with excitement and briefly consider one as an outlet.
ITarget. So many good things there. Especially when you are buying things for vacation!
If you got your Mickey Mail today I should be getting mine tomorrow!So glad I could inspire you to go spend $!
The Disney box will change your life....it is great to keep everything all in one place.
Yes, you were quite the inspiration to todays trip! 
You will looooove this; it's such a sanity saver!
LOL!! I can't wait to test drive it!! Great idea, gotta love DIS and DIS friends, they are a wealth of information and good ideas!!
That's what I use for Cole for every day but for the trip, I wanted something bigger so the other boys have a place to sit and I hate the way my Maclaren tips when the kids get out! LOL!! Silly, huh? But it will make your life SO much easier than mine getting on/off buses, etc. 
) and eating at one of the CS places. Otherwise the idea about just the moms hitting MK sounds like a great one!!
I love your countdown calendar- so cute!! Tomorrow is 30 days for us- we get to start our calendar! Woo-hoo!
Yay for more Mickey mail!
Have you thought about taking the boat to DTD on your last day for a few hours? I love just strolling around, picking up last minute souvies (although this could get dangerous with the kids!
Day 3 is our 1st day at Epcot!
So when we get to the park, we'll send Adam and Todd running for FP's for either Soarin' or Test Track, since no one but me, has rode on it before.
I'd go for Soarin' (one of my favorites ...) - besides, since you'll be doing Turtle Talk, Figment, and having lunch at Le Cellier, that will minimize your walking by keeping you on the "right" side of Epcot ... And don't forget the "new" Captain Eo show and just hanging out in The Living Seas and checking out the critters ...
We'll probably hit Nemo, never done Turtle talk with Crush, so that seems like something we should check out, for sure. Most definitively, dudette!!
Or...i was thinking of checking out the Kim Possible? Has anyone done this before? thoughts? Will the boys like it as much as the girls? Or are they still too young? Any input is appreciated there! I had fun doing Kim Possible!! Not sure what that means ...
I love those early flights!!!! Let's see....we land around 9am so at 10am I'll probably be on ME!!! 
4 weeks from now, I'll be in Orlando!!!!
that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi guys!
We got more Mickey mail today! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ethan showing you all (don't mind the messy hair!)
I was busy today....we made our trip to Target and picked up some things and we organized our new Disney bin (thanks Meghan!
First, some treasures from Target!
Our new Disney bin, rechargeable batteries, toothbrush covers for the boys, toothpaste, chapstick, sunscreen and a hanging shoe organizer to hang in our "closet" at POR for the essentials (again, thanks Meghan!) to get things off our sink area!
I dug out our "Disney stroller", I bought this second hand before our last trip with the boys, it's a sit n' stand, it's heavy but it is perfect with the kids, Lucas still gets tired if we walk too much and of course Cole needs a place to ride still. I paid $50 for it and we've used it at zoos and that sort, too. It's too big every day for me now, and I went back and forth with bringing it and thought about renting just so we didn't have to lug this with us, but why spend more money, right?
I also found our lost and found tags for the boys shoes today, too! I love these, they are waterproof, you write all the childs information inside so god forbid you lose your child, someone can help them. They just velcro to the childs shoe laces and your done. I am thinking though I need to get new ones, they have our old cell phone numbers inside. But I'll see if I can neatly scratch it out and write our new numbers 1st. If you have children, these are great for Disney and any events that are crowded and your child can easily get lost. Tracey bought them for her kids, too, on our last trip.
I made a call today to Disney dining, I got an email announcing buffet lunch at Chef Mickey's for a couple of weeks in September, we have a ressie for our 1st morning there for breakfast. I thought maybe lunch would be better since we are going to be at HDDR the night before and maybe we wouldn't want to rush? No luck in getting a ressie though. So then I tried for our last morning, thinking this would be a fun way to end our trip, no luck there either. Guess it wasn't meant to be and we'll just keep our current breakfast ressie.
I guess that's about it for now....gotta get the wild animals, I mean boys fed for dinner!
still waiting for mine to come, cat wait till it does
. Fingers crossed for both of us that the school will be cool about this! oh well if they arnt.. were goin anyways! 
4 weeks from today I'll be busy running the boys to school, Cole will be home with me "helping" me pack the last minute things, Todd will be at work.... I'll be anxiously awaiting Ethans arrival from school, he gets dropped off at 3:45 p.m. so we can head to Boston to pick up Todd from work. Our flight is at 8:15 this night, we should get to Boston by 5, to Logan by 6....hmm.....thinking about this...wondering if I should be picking Ethan up from school so we can get an earlier start?? This won't leave much time for dinner before our flight after check in, security...right??
im gonna collapse. 
Only DIS friends would appreciate Mickey jammies!
I ADORE those jammies. Off to walmart.com to see if I can find some for myself.
Aren't they so cute?!!
Hmmmm...I say leave the kids at the pool with the Dads and the Moms head to MK for a few hours.
Tie Dye is a lot of work, that is why I have bought mine.I just don't have the patience for it.
I hope you have fun at Target. I love buying things for the trip.
Guess who got new vacation jammies!? Yes, me!!
Take a look!! Aren't they cute?
a little bit closer so you can see the design!
Not bad for $12, huh? I couldn't pass them up, they were too cute and with Mickey on them, I couldn't leave them!!
