[jillianjewels]

First Pre-trip Report.

Me:31 I love the sun and I think it likes me too. Not much of a thrill seeker. But I love the whole disney experience. Third trip to WDW

DH: Loves rides and he is a child at heart. If I change to another resort I might need a new DH. He is very type A. Second time to WDW.

Buzz 7 He is a total thrill seeker. He is a very picky eater. Second trip to WDW.

Twinkle 2 She hates to go fast or anything that moves. She is a screamer so if you are there in December and here a child that sounds like a howling wolf but looks like an angel. you found my girl. She loves food and will try any thing. First time to WDW.

Dec 8-12 AKV MVMCP 9th
Dec 12-15 off site condo 2 bedroom Buena Vista Resort and Spa
Dec 15 BCV
Dec 16 OKW

So you think I'm crazy. Well our 9 nights are costing me $1073.00 in accomadations. My husband says that the 6 months of work does not equal the time and effort for a TA to do my job. I assume all of you can do the math and see that I scored a pretty sweet deal with renting some DVC points. We have a car and we pack light DH loves to laundry while we swim . Shh he doesn't know I'm sharing that.
This trip is a surprise for the little ones. We just went to Disneyland this last Feb. We told them we would do WDW in 2009, and I lied.
We have decided for our nights at the resorts to do dinning plan. We added it all up and it was a savings and we love food. I will share my ressies with you tomorrow.
So now all I have to do is keep my kids healthy for 30 days.

28 days!! I'm starting to organize the clothes and the kids supply bags for the long flight.

 

[jillianjewels]

We are flying United Airlines. They charge $25.00 for the first bag. I'm going to call them today and pay our bagage charges. I know that doesn't seem that exciting, but it gets my vacation juices flowing. Living in the Northwest is nice if you like rain all the time. Not me. I love the sun.

I went to United website with the intention of paying the bag charges. To my surprise they added a new flight and it would put us in MCO at 4:30PM instead of 7:30. So we have decided to fly stand by that morning and hopefully we will get on the flight.
I have been pondering how to tell the kids that we are going to Disney. I decided to do a Advent Treaseure Box and on our day of deparure there will get miny tickets in the box. When they get out of the bath I have wrapped up a cute all Disney outfit.

My DH and I are going to be at the same MVMCP. I'm so excited. (That was in the voice of the little boy in the commercial.)

We'll be there the same time as you - Dec 6-14. We have some of the same dining choices picked out, but on different days!

I'm subscribing

I can't believe that I will be at Disney in 3 short weeks. With the Turkey and the trimmings time will fly by. I have got the major things packed. We are still debating about putting the 2 year old in a car seat on the plane. We will this weekend, because we will be gone right up until we leave.

I keep pumping my kids with vitamins and washing hands and cleaning everything. It sucks having sick kids on vacation.
Thanks for those of you viewing my random thoughts. Please feel free to chime in..

Yesturday the cold started by last night the baby temp was 102 and this morning she says her ear hurts. We will be making a trip to the doctor today. I had planned on getting caught up on laundry . We are just a few short weeks away and panic has set in. I'm having nightmares that we won't make our ADR's and I will forget what resort we are going to next. I plan on making a resort photo session at AKL.
Stay Well!!

Hope they get to feeling better soon.

 

[jillianjewels]

Yes, I have added another resort we will be staying at Saratoga Springs in a 1 bedroom. My kids colds are all better but Dh is now getting sick. So this bug should be behind us in time for our trip. I'm getting super excited and it's getting harder to not spill the beans to the kids. Hoping for lots of sunshine and zero colds.

Well yesturday I went to our local holiday fair and bid on a few wreaths. I won 3 of them I was shocked and surprised at the same time. Since we won't be putting up a tree till we return this is a great way to start the season. They did come with giftcards and 7 dvds and 8cds and a ton of candy. All for a little of $100.

Thanks to a good friend and some clever packing ideas. I managed to cram everyone stuff into 1 suitcase and it only weighs 42lbs. The weather looks great, I'm super excited to tell the kids. Only 2 more sleeps.
I wish you all safe travels. Regarding past posts everyone in my family is well. Yeah!
