Gotta love bounceback! 10th ann. & family vaca PTR-9/201o-WE'RE BACK!

[DB of ODL]

I so want to get the suitcases, yes...plural....cases... out of the attic and start packing! Joe packs the night before. No kidding. And if we have a flight any later than 9 a.m., he is packing the day of. It drives me nuts.

As a general rule Dudes do not pack clothing any earlier than 24 hours in advance. Usually it's 8-12 hours. Reasons why are simple. We may want to wear what we are packing the day before and the second reason is we may need to do laundry prior to packing.

Cases? Really? Airlines must love seeing you roll up with your megabags. With the ridiculous pricing they have for checked baggage it might cost you as much for the baggage as it did for the flight! I'm planning on having one bag and maybe a carryon. I'm bringing my laptop so I can unload pics as well as video from my camera. Now I'm not gonna take pics of banners and weird stuff like you do but I'll probably take pics of the family and whatnot.

Which cousin is going?

I just wanted to pop in and see how your weigh in went today.....I was up one I have no idea why, but I'm trying to look on the bright side that I'm still down a total of 12...I want another 10 before leave....I did 6 km cross country walking tonight. My chubby buddy was on vacation this past week and man did I miss her....she was down 2. I was so proud of her, but she worked hard with her exercise while they were at their cottage....I don't even want to think what my weigh in after 2 weeks in Disney will be

Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and sending good vibes your way

Last second packer , yes! Even when we leave for our summer vacation for 4 weeks! Can't do it any other way and I am quite good about NOT forgetting important things. Forgot the DLRP ponchos in February, but that was it!

This used to be my mom's walk in and when she died some of the shelves got adopted to be my storage shelves - but it is only for toothbrushes and stuff which I only buy when they are on offer or I have a coupon.

I envy you for being able to pack and not forget anything!

Lol, bless ya

I take the day off before we fly and spend most of it packing. I tend to pack at least three times, hate doing it, wish we could have someone do it for us. Don't know what I would be like if I had to pack the night before, nightmare!

I usually work up until the last minute so I end up putting everything in the suitcase the weekend before we leave.

Check out my new ticker

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

That is great!!!! I'm so glad you are going to see your "fav" Dis people...what fun you will have. Stop by my PTR if you get a chance.

Sophia, I make a LONG list before I pack and then double check it twice the night I pack to be sure I've not forgotten anything.

That's a good way to do it as well. I love lists!!!

Everyone, meet my brother.

Thanks for thinking of me. Guess what? I didn't go. Yep, I said I was going to and I didn't. Now I feel bad about it.

Congrats on being down 12! That's awesome. I'd love to be down 10 more before we leave but I think I'll be happy with 5!

I'm 45 day dancin' today ........... Who wants to dance with me?

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I've still got one dilemma left. That's our photopass session. I have pre-purchased the CD so I'm ready in that respect.

I can book our session 30 days out. I want to book at WL and I want to book on our wedding anniversary. We're not going to a park that day and plan to take it easy. By the way people, this is freaking me out, to say the least!

I was thinking that I'd book for after our breakfast at Kona. We've done pictures at the Poly twice now so I am ready to try a different resort. I thought we'd do breakfast and go back and get the session done. That way we'd have all day to do whatever it is that we're going to do before our dinner at Yachtsman and then the Wishes Cruise.

My dilemma: Do I do the matchy-matchy clothes for our pictures? I really, really want to. My thought was white Disney polo shirts and brown shorts. I dunno. I just can't make up my mind here and no one wants to do the matchy-matchy with me.

One of our friends from work is moving to FLA and he will be joining us on the 17th. I am hoping that I can talk the family into a park that day. I just can't see sitting around all day. It will make me nuts!

My cousin will also be there and she's not really done much of Disney aside from a Make A Wish trip with her daughter when she was alive that didn't go so well.

I don't know what to do................ HELP!!!!!!!!!

 

[All7OfUs]

YES!! I'll dance with you!!!

​

Now, onto your dilemma:

If it were me, I'd explain to everyone how much the pictures mean to you, and how much you're looking forward to the trip and the photos in particular. Maybe they'd be more apt to dress in the shirts and shorts with you?

And yes, I'd definitely go with a different resort this time. WL is so very pretty!

 

[KatMark]

I'm here to with you for 45 days.

Were you able to change your Maya Grill ressie? Are we set for 6 p.m. on the 19th?

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

YES!! I'll dance with you!!!

Thanks for dancin' with me.

I think they'll all cooperate with me on pictures...just not sure about the matchy-matchy stuff. That's okay though as long as we get our pictures done. That's really what's important to me.

I can't wait to see where they take you at WL for pictures!

I haven't changed the ressie yet for Maya. I did check availability though and it looks like I can get 6:30 or 6:45 so we're set for 6!

I'm looking forward to meeting you and Mark!

 

[inkedupmomma]

I like when people somewhat match in pics! So I vote for that lol!

as far as a resort day, I say, give the boys a resort day and you head out on your own!!

I kinda like the sorta matchy stuff too. Let's see what happens.

I don't wanna give them a resort day on my anniversary. I'm thinking that would be a craptastic day for Joe and I to not be together, right?

We can't wait. It's on my itinerary which is my Bible on my trips.

[Victoriasmom98]

Just thought I'd stop by and say HI!!! Trying to get through your awesome PTR!!! This will be my honeymoon, too, so maybe in 10 years we'll be back with an anniversary trip report!!!

der..forgot the anniversary.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Yay for 45 days!

WL sounds like a great choice for the photopass session. As far as the clothes go, could you all maybe just wear a solid top and brown shorts? I don't know, I am no fashionista so I probably shouldn't be giving advice. Atleast I tried. LOL.

 

[dizneeat]

Here's to 45 days!!​

As far as the photosession goes - I'd go for the matching stuff! It always looks so neat when people have matching things in those photos.

Hi! Nice to have you along!

Disney is such a great place for a honeymoon....and an anniversary.

I am stressing myself out over this decision. Why is what to wear such a hard decision to make?

Thanks for dancin' with me. I have such a hard time deciding on what to wear. I really think though that it would look nice if we did match.

ME, I'LL DANCE WITH YOU...

We did the matchy thing last year when we had our photo session. Now, having said that, we weren't identical....we wore navy and white, I didn't care that it was navy tops and white bottoms or vice versa, but it did look really sharp....I have two of those pictures in our wall unit

I think the navy/white would look good or white/khaki. I would just go with a color theme to match (like above post), but not the exact same clothes.
