***Hey, Hey! Come right in and plan, OFFICIAL OCTOBER 2017 thread!!!***

Here's 3 of the pins I'm making to wear. I had made some as hair bows for a friend's little girl to wear in July when they were at Disney, since I don't have much hair, I thought I'd make pins to wear each day. I am also making Tinkerbell and Rapunzel.

Two weeks today, in about an hours time, I will be heading home from a half day at work, so we can then head to the airport!!!

:cheer: (All the happy feels!)

 

[Disney & ME]

To those who have already received your Magic Bands, when is your trip? Just wondering how far in advance I will receive my magic bands from the day we leave. 38 more days!!!!

So excited to get our Magic Bands today for our trip starting 10/7.

 

[MakingThePlan]

Tomorrow is the 30 day mark for me! We paid off the trip today and I see our Magic Bands are marked "Pending". Exciting!

I am very jealous about those who get Disney mail, and magic bands shipped!

23 days out. Second set of MB's has shipped. I am going travel size shopping this week, to start getting the packing moving forward. Pretty sure I need to replace all the small medicines, as it has been over a year since we have been to WDW (heck, almost 2 years!)

We did Amazon last trip, and I think we will order through them again, as the DH has a prime account. I am getting "really" excited, as we have not had a real vacation since we moved to a new state. (I dont count the trips to CA to visit family and such, even though they do include DLR).

After this trip we are on lock down for a couple years again, as we are planning a trip to Japan. Gotta soak it all in this trip!!

You and me both! 40 days and nothing. I know Magic Bands haven't shipped yet, but I have never waited this long for even my Magical Express stuff. Torture!

Hey fellow October travelers!! I've been following along on this thread, but haven't been posting. I'm happy everyone's planning has been going well, although I wish you September people would have been able to travel when you planned. I would be devastated if I had to reschedule my trip at the last minute .

Anyway, I had something I wanted to run by any mid-October travelers here. My husband and I will be attending the cake decorating class at Amorette's Patisserie in Disney Springs on 10/19. Unfortunately, this is our last full day in Disney, and there's no way we're going to be able to eat the cake that we decorate before it's time to go home. So I was wondering if anyone here might be interested in taking it off our hands. It's the full size Classic Mickey cake. If you bought this at Amorette's it would cost $55! The cakes are already baked and ready for decorating during the class, so you won't have to worry about it tasting good, although I can't promise it will look as amazing as the ones you can buy . Let me know if you are interested. I can meet in Disney Springs between 10:30-1:00 or at the Poly before about 2:30. Again, this is Thursday, Oct 19. Please help me get this off my hands. I'd really hate for the cake to go to waste!

UPDATE: The cake is spoken for!!

I'm 35 days out and still haven't gotten anything either. Magic Bands should be shipping next week but what is Mickey Mail? We are not using magical express so we won't get luggage tags for that but what else usually comes in Mickey Mail?

You get some discount coupons. I got mine last week shortly after I paid of my package.

2 more done!

I will be in DS on the 19th! We have a 12pm reservation at T-Rex. If no one else chimes in I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I can't in good conscience turn down cake.

Awesome! We have a reservation at 11:30 at Homecoming, so maybe about 11 would be good. I think I only need one more message (after this one lol) to be able to PM. I'll get that and then we can coordinate. Just let me know that you for sure want it and I'll edit my previous post to say that it's taken. Thanks!

I think 11 would work, we can sort out the details in PM. So awesome of you to offer! I'll definitely find some way to pay your kindness forward during my visit.

Does anyone else hate this "limbo" period? "60 days" mark has passed, plans finalized, final payment made, Magic Bands are still a week from shipping. We leave 35 days from today and every day is now crawling by. Is it too early to start packing?

I'm still ok - it's like Christmas I love the build up! I get a little anxious the couple of days before and don't like that feeling. Had a few little parcels arrive to start the prep - glow bands, ponchos etc!

I have my packing lists made and the stuff I've bought for the trip sitting in a suitcase. If I could start the real packing I totally would! In the meantime I'm making and remaking my touring plans to pass the time. Oh and rewatching disney movies!

We arrive same day as you - I think possibly a longer journey for us!
