I'm Tempting Fate.... a PTR frought with peril and terror!! Updated 9/3!!

[jenjolt]

OOOH...Having an Owners Locker sounds like a great plan...you can really store stuff in there just for Disney!! I can't wait to check it out with you YAY!!!!


Disney beach towels...I should get one of those...maybe I can find one at the Disney store here in Austin!!!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

OH Owner's Locker stuff!! now I'm going to put all this stuff in the locker in September, but since it is related to enjoying WDW regardless...I'm going to put it in this PTR, is that OK with all ya??

So far here is what I have....

• 3 disney princess beach towels
• 1 pirates of the carribean beach towel
• bandaids
• bandaid blister blocker bandages
• hair gummies for the girls
• curling iron (i hate to mess with taking them)
• shampoo (full sized)
• conditioner (full sized)
• kids shampoo (ful sized)
• nightlights (4)
• 1 bath and body works hand soap

I think that's all I have for now...

some things I know I want to get yet for it....

• Dryer sheets
• laundry soap (will get on our WDW wallyworld run in Sept)
• drink lanyards
• small can coffee... it'll be good for Sept and Nov, then I can toss the rest. Still cheaper than buying the nescafe swill blech!
• sweet and low packets
• a couple smaller sized toothpaste tubes
• gold bond powder/other powder

I know that my lists will expand/contract a bit yet. I am excited about the locker... i think it will make my travels much simpler!

Hey Paula! I'm 99% positive that we're going to get an owners lockers too! I know it sounds silly but getting one makes me kinda excited. Not as excited as the DVC purchase, but excited.

I've been thinking of things to put in it too. I haven't written anything down yet but I probably should that way I know what I need/want and can pick it up when it's on sale at target or wally world or someplace!

2 things I know I'll be getting for the locker are an air mattress with a pump and a small brita water filter. Then the laundry needs and tolietries etc.

I actually just posted a thread in the DVC Planning forum asking about OL yesterday and got such a great response!

One of the posters mentioned binoculars for viewing the animals up close at AKV. I think thats a great idea!! I maybe looking for binoculars soon!

I am really excited about my locker too!! binoculars is a great idea!! We actually have a pair, that NEVER get used anyway... so maybe that can go in there too. I love the idea of getting the full sized shampoos... I also remembered to add body wash and hairspray to my list today and the laundry stuff. It will be great to have access to all that without hauling so much on the plane every time. I'm thinking of putting in a small game/card/uno or something like that too. We go on the off seasons and sometimes, the parks close early and your stuck just watching tv... might make for a nice 'evening in' option... what do you think??



Oh LL!! I picked a name....

Pixie Dust and Paraphenalia!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

How cool to be planning for an Owner's Locker! Love the name you picked out too!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Might I suggest those nifty laundry sheets instead of liquid detergent to put in your locker? I think Purex sells them but they are this sheet that has the detergent in them so you put them in the wash and then when you switch them over it acts as a dryer sheet/fabric softener. We LOVE them.

And most importantly....have you come up with a wonderful name for it?

I'll have to look for those... I've never seen them around here, but since I never heard of them, why would I have looked??

Those would be rather convienient


Glad you like the name!!

Is it wrong that I'm most excited about my locker packing lists???

I dont usually do a whole lot of pre-trip shopping (except for a new Vera, that I'd have bought anyway, but WDW makes a good excuse to) However, since I have to buy 'locker stuff' I'm pretty excited to jump on the shopping train

Glad you like the name.... I've been struggling, because once LL mentioned "mouse droppings" (which is hysterical!) I couldn't get that one out of my head long enough to come up with my own name

Hi everyone!! I planned on doing something exciting here yesterday to celebrate our Double Digit Dancing!!

Well...I didn't

What I DID do was order our Park Tickets!!!


I had planned to order them by July 31st anyway due to the usual price increase the 1st weekend in August. GOOD THING I KNEW THAT!!!

I ordered 5 adult and 1 child 8 day park hopper tickets.... thru undercover tourist with the Mousesavers discount..... for a grand total of $1656!!

Ouch!!

But the good news... the UT prices were $17 off the WDW gate prices so it was a savings of $99!!

Today Disney announced the price increase.... 6%!! So I actually saved $173!! Yay for ordering tickets last night!!


They are supposed to arrive 8/15.... but I've read a post earlier that UT called the poster and told her they are totally SWAMPED and expect delivery to take up to an additional 15 days! August 30th is fine by me too. I just need them before September 25. I ordered a discounted ticket for me so that when I go in September I can go right into the park on arrival, then upgrade to a DVC AP as soon as I get a chance.

I plan to upgrade Ellie and Allison's tickets in November... so that we are all set for next year


Ok....
Room...check!
Airfare....check!
park tix...check!


wow! almost all set! ADR day is 8 days away... I really hope the November park hours come out soon!!

[arilvdc]

[Charleston Princess]

[jenjolt]

Great deal!! I'm so glad you got your tickets before the prices went up WOOT!!!!!!!!!

YAY for ADRs coming!!!!
