I started packing, and we aren't going until 11/18!

[01Sweetpea]

I am SOOOO excited for this trip. I had to stop by Wal-Mart to pick my kids up something, and while I was there decided to get what I needed for our vacation.

I picked up:
2 rain ponchos for everyone
new toothbrushes
toothpaste
shampoo & conditioner
gel & hairspray
deodorant
antacids
bandaids
hand sanitizer
tylenol

Anything we don't use on vacation will be tossed before we leave.

I went home and got my cosmetic case out and started packing! DH thinks I'm nuts...but reality is I'm so excited and can't wait for this trip!

Don't worry you are not alone. We also leave on 11/18 and my fiance and I have started a little pile of items getting them ready for the trip.

Maybe we'll see you there!

Me too - we leave on 11/17 and I've started putting aside things to pack. I've also found myself making packing lists and potential itineraries in the margin of my notepads while I sit in boring meetings!

How is it we identify ourselves as DISers? Is it a lime green ribbon?

 

[*love*2*shop]

We dont leave until OCT 27 and IM ready to go NOW~~~ BUt im sure my hubby will think im if I pack 27+Days out! I am off to start my list etc...I feel that if i start planning/packing, it makes the days go by faster

 

[lpandorf]

Me too! We leave Nov 15 and I just paid the trip off this weekend which made it seem so real. So I started setting aside some short and tees and a few other things!

 

[TinaLala]

We leave on Dec 1 and now that it's 60 days away I got the 'go ahead' from DH to start packing I just came back from the disney store and they had long sleave shirts on sale 2 for $15 and they had Jasmine shirts - DD7 will be so excited!!!

 

[sherreis]

I'm with you 01Sweetpea. We leave the evening of 11/17 for arrival on 11/18 as well. I just bought some travel games for the boys for the car, and I just bought a shoe organizer for the bathroom door (for our toiletries). I've thrown bathing suits into one of the suitcases. I like your idea of getting new toothbrushes - I'll buy some this week. I'm trying to buy just a few things off of each paycheck so it won't seem like a lot to get ready.

Either lime green ribbon...or go to Home Depot...in the paint department there are paint chips in the shape of Mickey. The one closest to lime green is called Alien green (I think). I usually tie one or two on the backpack I carry.

I keep slipping items into the suitcases when no one's looking! We'll be at WL on 11/18 with lime green something on! Hope to see other disers there!

Is this your first trip to WDW without the kids? It's a dangerous thing to realize just how much fun you can have without them!!! We did it two years ago and we're already planning another long weekend in WDW by ourselves next year. Shhhhhhh!

-Michelle

P.S. Our pile of stuff to pack has been growing for about a month already! Each time I go to Wal-Mart I pick up something else for the trip!

 

[LoveMickey]

Oh good I can start packing now toooooo

 

[Rhongepooh]

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one doing this! LOL. . . .We leave the 11th of November also! It was just my birthday and some of my family got me clothes to take to disney so I just went on and put them straight in the suitcase. I can't believe I'm not the only crazy one!!!

 

[Carrie772]

Have a great time!

Now cut it out Sweetpea...... we're leaving 11/16 and you're making me feel bad because I haven't done a thing for our trip. Okay maybe I've done one thing. I put all the autograph books, Disney pens and gear left over from our last trip into a box. I'm trying not to forget them as I did for our last trip. I left the whole pile of them on my desk. Good job mom!

Oh wait, I have an excuse. I actually can't pack anything yet because my three DD's don't have a clue that we're going. At least my DD6 doesn't have a clue. My teens probably know we're going sometime this next year because there were a number of WDW and DVC envelopes that came during the month of September. My oldest DD is applying to college so she looks at the mail everyday. They asked once or twice, but I denied it.....so they stopped asking.

A fairy godmother is sending some postcards our way in early November. Until then I'll just have to keep my disneyitis in check. I'll have to live vicariously thru the rest of you..... Keep up the good work y'all.

See you by the pool at the BC Sweetpea. I've got to remember to get to Home Depot.........

 

[Charleyann]

Whem, I'm not crazy, not alone! I've been packing for two weeks now. Not leaving til Oct 30th.....

The waiting is driving me crazy!

[bell.of.the.ball]

I started to pack put only in my head. I have an idea what the kids are bringing. I just need to plan for myself. My husband is on his own
