Insert Catchy Title Here - An August PTR

[OhioDisneyLover]

Beka, it sounds like you have it under control. Really, it does. Seriously though, you seem to have a list going and at least you KNOW what you have to do...unlike me who always freaks out about 3 days before we leave! Organized until departure...that's me. I can't wait to hear all about the trip when you get back.

Well, my MIL is finally here. We're making a list tonight of stuff we need to do/get tomorrow. I also dropped off some stuff to get laminated. I can't hardly stand it!!!

I barely slept last night. I was in & out, and woke up before the sun did. Now it's time for before seeing the chiropractor & running errands today.

We're hitting up:
Home Depot
Wal-Mart (of course)
Food Lion (they have healthier snack options than Wal-Mart does)
?? I can't remember where else.

We finally have sitters for the dogs lined up, so I'll give them the run-down on Thursday.

I totally forgot to get the Hidden Mickey guide & the Imagineers guide to EPCOT & AK. Dang it. Too late now, cuz our bookstore doesn't have them in stock.

I remembered last night that we don't have a case for the camcorder. We probably need extra tapes for that too. I also wanted to get a Gorilla pod (I think that's what they're called) for my camera.

Lots of shopping to do today!

So I'm really late finding this PTR but Wow Go YOU! You guys will have a fantastic time! Connor is adorable
We we are also using my MIL's timeshare at Sheraton Vistana but she won't be coming with us she already had a trip planned for TN. We will stay with her 1-2 nights in TN on our way to FL so no hotel fees that way at least. I hope you like it there. I have so much stuff to get done before we leave. We will do 4 days at DW and 1 day at SW. The kids think we are only going to SW though. I have been putting Disney movies on lately though
Can't wait to read yout TR when you get back

Better late than never, I say!

My MIL is trying to get a refurbed unit, so if we get one, I'll be sure to take extra pics for ya!

Have fun! I love that you're making it a surprise!

YES on the camcorder tapes! Last year we bought extra ones and forgot them at the stupid resort and had to buy some in the MK! They weren't ungodly expensive, but just annoying and more than we intended on spending! i think I am going to buy John a Flip video for his bday this year.. then I do not have to worry about the camcorder at all..although I will bring both just for a comparison!

Also, i wish you would have told me about the hidden mickey book, I would have sent you ours to use! and thanks for the reminder cause I would have forgotten it for this trip (well Kayla got it from "Santa" this past xmas and she would have forgotten it) and then the Disney trip would have had a pity party moment! It is now safely in the do not forget bin!! Thank you!

Yeah, I'm late for everything.

Good Luck getting a new unit. I'm going to call tomorrow and ask about that, too. I keep forgetting, too. I hear either way the rooms are nice. I just don't want to hear a bunch of construction going on.

Thanks I can't wait to see their faces

Did you get your last minute shopping done? I still have some things to pick up.

All done! If it's not bought by now, it's not gonna happen!


I finally found a bag for the parks. It's little, but that's what I wanted, and it's functional.

I also finished Conner's stroller tag:

The front says "Conner's Stroller"
The back says "If found, please call XXX-XXX-XXXX"

I'm going to tie a lot more of that ribbon the stroller when I tie the tag on, so it'll be even more obvious. I had the main tag laminated, then went to HD to get the MHs & "laminated" those with packing tape. I used red, yellow, and black, with ribbon to match. I think it's cute.

I'm trying to finish packing. Apparently, that is 100% my job. Thanks DH. Just for that, he's doing the chicken dance with me on my b-day in front of everyone at the Biergarten. If you're in the area on the 18th, stop by. I'll be the one laughing maniacally.

That's all for now. I might be on here before we leave in the morning while I dry my hair.

YAY!!!

Have a GREAT trip!

 

[Beka]

It's before 5am, I'm up, showered, and caffeinating myself.

I slept a good 4 hours last night, the last 3 hours were spent catching cat naps & watching the clock.

Time to finish up and hit the road!

Thanks for sticking with me in the PTR!

Hey all! We got home last night, about 7:30 or so. I can't wait to get started on my trip report, so I'll post a link here as soon as I get started. 99% of my pics are on my Dad's laptop, about 3G worth of space, so he has to burn a ton of CDs for me and mail them. He'll get that done tomorrow & Monday (or so he says), so I'll get started as soon as I get the discs!

It was a great trip! Can't wait to share it with you!
