we'll be there!!! i'm so excited i can barely contain myself! my in-laws are taking us (hubby, son and me) with hubby's 2 step-sisters and their men... there will be 9 of us total!

it was a horrible morning at work and i just decided to check my personal email and there was one from hubby...saying if you want to go, we're going! like i'd turn down a trip to disney!

we're staying at a house off grounds. i'm excited to see what that's like, but i'm already completely lost about how we'll get there and all those logistics.

we have 5 day tickets, no park hoppers. never done that either! but we'll actually have 2 free days during the week to go swimming at the house. i haven't been swimming at disney in a few years!

i made a to-do list of things on our off days... SHOPPING! we're finding the outlet store this time. lol we will use the GPS this time. lol

in walmart they have the cutest disney outfits for boys...FINALLY boy outfits! i had to buy a cute tye dyed mickey shirt. thomas will be decked out every day in a new disney outfit!

can you tell i'm excited?!!! i didn't think we were gonna go cause my in-laws took forever in deciding and i thought we'd never get the places we wanted to eat at since it's the opening of food and wine fest. but we did! i'm really surprised!

now here's my question for the people that drive to the parks...

if you park at MK, need to leave mid-day and come back...

do you pay twice to park?

i think that's one of the biggest worries i have with being off grounds and having to park at the parks every day. i've always just jumped on a bus to a resort.

i have 4 months and i already can't sleep at night thinking about our trip!

and i'm even more excited i can visit this board...i was too depressed to visit it when i didn't think the trip was going to happen!

so hi everybody!:flower3::flower3::flower3: i can't wait to hear the happenings so i can get good info for the trip....

 
Sorry I can't help with the parking question, but...
Congratulations! I'm glad you can go - what a great surprise! You seem ecstatic - Happy planning!:wizard:
 
Congrats on your trip! Keep your receipt and you do not have to pay again. You could even go to another park and not have to pay again.

I've stayed offsite at a vacation home before (in Davenport) and the drive is very easy. My sister recently bought a vacation home there so that will be where I stay from now on since no one can beat the price (it's free! :woohoo:). I enjoy staying in a home - downtime is so much more relaxing.
 
we've never driven before either, but i read your thread and couldn't help commenting!

i LOVE hearing how excited people are to be making another trip to the world!! i know i always get excited when my dad says we can go again... it's always up in the air (although he hasn't said no yet! :thumbsup2), especially since both my brother and i are in college- which costs almost as much as a disney trip! :lmao: haha maybe exaggerated a bit...

but have an awesome time! i always love when people are super excited to be going again!
 

i'm seriously excited! if i could figure out a way to get hubby to move down there or just closer, i would! we're pros at dodging hurricanes in new orleans, what's a few more in florida?! lol

i got a job 3 months ago after being unemployed for a long time and it's been really horrible the last few weeks...you may have heard about that little oil spill...so the thought of going to disney is the only thing running thru my mind while i'm stuck being tortured at work.

thanks for the tip on the parking. i'll be sure to let my in-laws know.

my dad gave me my love of disney and i'm sure he's looking down on me saying sarcastically, again?! LOL
 
Sounds like a great trip in the planning here. Enjoy the planning and the trip. :cool1:
 
I'm going to move this to our happy dance board.

To answer your question about parking, I believe that you just have to show your receipt to get back into the parking area. You only have to pay once a day, and you can just show your receipt at any park later in the day.

If you have further questions about parking, check out our transportation board :)
