Chelsea is a doll! I love her enthusiasm. 4 days!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I love your little travel goody bags! Zebra print! Yay! And the cheetah Mickey heads are very cool! Chelsea is cracking me up with all of her excitement, although I can't say that I wouldn't be exactly the same way! I found my Minnie ears from last time I went when I was unpacking from the move, and wore them around the house all day long. I can't wait to see what ears she designs!

With the cheetah Mickey heads, I just used a Mickey head punch (I have them in several sizes and styles) and punched them out of some cheetah print scrapbooking paper.

about wearing your Mickey ears around the house -- I kid you not, Chelsea has worn them constantly since she found them Sunday night. The only times she has taken them off were to go to the library, Target, and the pool.

We had those exact same travel books last year when we went to wdw, or was it the beach, or virginia? anyway we had them but I can't remember where.

Great car bags!!

Thanks! I found the books at Target at an insane clearance price. I was so pleased with myself.

5 days!!!!!!! so exciting! love the sunglasses/mickey ears look. i'm diggin it.

You'll be seeing a lot of the sunglasses/ears look in just a few days! I love that Chelsea has no problem expressing her personality.

YAY for 4 days!!!!!!

Those cars bags are just great. Everything you make seems to have some amazing sense of fashion. Lol.

That's too funny with Chelsea and her ears and sunglasses.

I bet everyone in your house is like this:

Thanks! We are a tad on the hyper side!

By this weekend I will probably be glad I have some extra time to do a few more things around the house. I do hate to be rushed before I leave.

My son actually took the news about the stress fracture and not playing better than I thought he would. I think he was fooling himself when he said it didn't hurt.

We are staying in a 2BR in Kidani. There will be 6 of us all together - DH, me, DS14, DS16, Nephew, and DS16 friend. Unfortunately, I did not have enough points for a savanah view so we have a standard view. But I think I can cope if I take my morning coffee into the savanah viewing areas!

Looking forward to your final itinerary. You are super Organized!

I don't like to feel rushed either -- it makes me all panicky and nervous about forgetting something. Oh, now I am super jealous -- a two-bedroom at Kidani -- what heaven! Do you own DVC?

I give the illusion of being organized, but I don't know how organized I really am.

Did they put a cast on DS?

You're getting so close!!

Yeay!!!

Oh, your DD is so cute! I would laugh my head off at that too!

Love the goodie bags! So fun!

It was so unexpected -- she has a great sense of comic timing and knew I would whirl around ready to chew her out.

4 days!!​

Tell Chelsea when she makes her own ears to try several ear pieces and beanies. We found that the snaps that hold them together were a bit loose on some of them. I can't wait to see what she chooses!

Thanks! We are super, super, super excited!

Oh, that's good to know about the ears and beanies -- I just told her and she said, "Okay, got it!"

Chelsea is a doll! I love her enthusiasm. 4 days!

Thank you! She is definitely my hyper, excited child!

Time for a few more pictures of what you'll be seeing soon!

The view from a lounge chair by the zero entry area of the pool.

And then, there's these things!

This is such a nice pool.

It won't have the same kids in it, but Chelsea and Connor will look cute wading in there to get cooled off after a day at the parks.

Baylor has been giving Bo the stink eye.........

I wore my Minnie Ears to work one day. In all fairness, it was Halloween, and I was dressed as Minnie Mouse. (Although no one else in my office was dressed up.)

After meeting Baylor....I can completely picture this!

 

[TarzansKat]

Boy, I had a devil of a time with the DIS this morning, and I know I wanted to say something really witty, but now I have no idea what that was.

I love the picture of Chelsea!!! She looks so dang cute, modeling her "Disney vacation look." I can't wait to see what kind of ears she makes.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

After meeting Baylor....I can completely picture this!

The pictures are good....

 

[heatherlizz602]

Jackie...I've been following along for your trip report since the beginning and this is my first post. I'm a horrible lurker. Chelsea and Connor are so adorable. You guys will have so much fun!! Its getting so close I bet the kids are real antsy!!

 

[xoktenox]

I think MeMom wants you to pass out or something posting all those amazing pictures of AKL 4 days before you go!

MeMom we want Jackie to not have a heart attack due to the beauty of AKL before she gets there!

I crack myself up sometimes. 4 days!!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

4 days​

Thank you! We are partying non-stop at the house these days!

In 4 days you'll be in the Happiest Place on Earth!!!!!

I think I have said that and several variations about twenty times today!

Time for a few more pictures of what you'll be seeing soon!

The view from a lounge chair by the zero entry area of the pool.

Oh, that is so going to be my view soon!

I love all the signs everywhere!

And then, there's these things!

Oh, and this is so going to be my meal in a few days!

Look how little Brooklyn is!!!

This is such a nice pool.

It won't have the same kids in it, but Chelsea and Connor will look cute wading in there to get cooled off after a day at the parks.

I overheard Chelsea telling Connor all about the zero-entry on the way back from the pool yesterday! We are huge pool people and are so looking forward to relaxing at AKL soon! Thanks for all the great pictures, MeMom! I needed an AKL fix today!

Baylor has been giving Bo the stink eye.........

That's great!

I wore my Minnie Ears to work one day. In all fairness, it was Halloween, and I was dressed as Minnie Mouse. (Although no one else in my office was dressed up.)

What a great idea! We have hat day at our school every Thursday -- I should get a pair of ears to wear!

After meeting Baylor....I can completely picture this!

I haven't met him yet, but just from pictures and the 1900 Park video I can picture it!

Boy, I had a devil of a time with the DIS this morning, and I know I wanted to say something really witty, but now I have no idea what that was.

I am looking forward to seeing her ear design as well.

When you remember your wittiness, please come back and share!

The pictures are good....

Oh, I cannot wait to see them!!!

Jackie...I've been following along for your trip report since the beginning and this is my first post.I'm a horrible lurker. Chelsea and Connor are so adorable. You guys will have so much fun!! Its getting so close I bet the kids are real antsy!!

Thank you! I am glad you have been enjoying the PTR -- please post more!

Nah, my heart feels fine -- well except that it is filled with LONGING to be in Disney RIGHT NOW!

OK...I'm going to kill my DH (and the "D" isn't standing for "dear" at the moment! ). He came by as I was reading your post and I was on the last picture of the pool. He stops, looks and says "What park is that at?" I tell him "It's not a park. It's a pool at Animal Kingdom Lodge. *deep sigh*" Then the stinker says "Have we stayed there?" and walks off LAUGHING. He KNOWS that AKL is my dream resort and that I LONG to own DVC at Kidani Village and he is TAUNTING me. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Who wants to help me hide the body?

You can hang out with me and CP on the balcony of our savannah view room. LOL

 

[MeMom]

Now, girls, violence is not the answer.
What would really show him is to go ahead and book that dream trip and just send him the bill!

Make it a good long trip, too. Two, maybe three weeks.

 

[julezdisney]
