I won! I won! Disney trip! UPDATE: WE'RE HOME!

I want to thank everyone on here as well for being super kind. I am SO glad I found this forum. Now I get to drive you all crazy with my ten billion questions about the resorts. :rotfl2:

That's what we are here for! ;) What part of NC are you from? I'm about an hour from Charlotte.

The book your friend recommended is great. Another great book is the Passporter. Even though I've been 15+ times I like to get both books every other year or so.

I live just outside of Charlotte.

Yep, I think I am going to pick those books up but I may wait and see what Disney is going to send us first. You never know. :)
 
We are having so much fun, seeing the 3 of you get so excited! I can't think of anything better than having someone else pick up the tab at WDW!

If you've never been to Southern California, you will be pleased with the weather. Even when it gets hot, the humidity is low. Most of the heat waves don't hit in June (but you never know, we've been there in April with stinkin' hot weather!) Don't forget to bring a jacket - the evenings can get cool.

It must be funny - seeing complete strangers get excited about your vacation!
 
Congrats to you _3_!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yay::woohoo::banana:

I am SO thrilled for you guys!!! And I think it's extra neat that some of you had hoped to go but couldnt - and NOW YOU ARE!!!! And you've found each other - planing and getting excited willl add a lot of extra fun to an already fun time. I came here years before my registered date for one trip and then kept coming back.... (watch out you CAN become addcited - to WDW and the DIS!:rolleyes1) ...the shared excitement of these boards is great.:goodvibes And ask any and all questions - we want to help and we will :cloud9: helping!!! (If we cant ride in your luggage we can join you in our minds.) Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!:goodvibes:cool1::grouphug::flower3:

Let us know any questions you have. Make sure you take lots of pictures for us!
 
Thanks everyone! I think I speak for the 3 of us when I saw how excited and thrilled we truly are! :cloud9:


Going shopping today for some of the little things we need (ponchos, ziplocs for dds' clothes, etc)! Woohoo!!! :banana: :woohoo:
 
I also like the Passporter book, it's the only one we use now (we kinda know the place *really* well:laughing:)-it's more of a quick reference guide and a good place to keep all the paperwork than a "how to" book like the unofficial guide. We never outgrow it, although ours is from 2003 and the elastic has snapped off it, so I should probably get a new one this year-it's a good place to keep the mountains of paperwork that always happens with a disney vacation (even a normal, non prizewinning one).
 
:banana:I can't believe things like this do happen...I signed up for the Macy's Celebrates Mom Sweepstake back in April and I am one of the grand prize winners. You should have seen me when they called me on Friday :yay::woohoo:

I got a 5 night/6 day trip for 4 to BOTH Disneyland and DisneyWorld!!:banana:I got my airfare, ground transporation from airports to Disney, Disney Resort accomodations, VIP Experiences, $200 gift card to Disneyland and a $300 gift card to DisneyWorld.

This is definately legit, I've received all my paperwork and now just waiting for a Disney Rep to call me to scheduled my flights etc.

I had resented to the fact that there wouldn't be any more Disney trips with my family due to money. My DD asks every year if we could go:guilty: Now I have a trip to DisneyWorld and also to be able to experience Disneyland too - oh my goodness!!

It will be a whirlwind of a week but I'm ready for it! We go in June :lovestruc

Thanks for letting me share my good news with you.


..that's GREAT!! You got any room for another mom???!? :rolleyes:
 
So, I did a lot of shopping yesterday! :cool1: Picked up some ponchos, ziplocs, new socks ;) and a bunch of little things we needed for the trip.

I found a small messanger type bag I think I am going to bring. :thumbsup2Originally I was going to bring a backpack, but I really don't want to be weighed down by a backpack during the whole trip. Plus my dd's are 11 and 6, so I really don't need to carry much for them anymore (ie. diapers, wipes, etc.). I figured just something big enough for money,hand wipes, camera, sunblock, etc. I mean, that's all I really need, right? :confused3


So excited. T-minus 3 weeks and counting!! :yay: :woohoo:

I just found your thread - and I think I'm caught up!! Congrats...

you were asking earlier about Disneyland - over on the DVC board a DVC Mike just returned - he posted his trip report with AMAZING pictures of his Grand Calif stay -

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2179209

you could also pm him if you have further questions - but until I read his thread I wasnt too interested in Disneyland (false of course!) but WOW!!

(oh and do go to photobucket.com it is extremely user friendly to upload your pictures, then when you make a trip report - you just copy their link - I find using ctrl +c easy way to copy the link - then when you want to paste it in your trip report its an easy ctrl + V!)
looking forward to reading your trip reports!!
