Kohl's sent me a discount code, so of course I couldn't resist ordering a few more things for Izzy. And it was only like $6 total for all three items, shipped. 
How could I not get a shirt with a snorkeling kitty on it?
I also ordered a couple pairs of shorts. I paired up all the shirts with the shorts/skirts she currently has and I think we will be just right when the new ones arrive. 
Ooh I love the little dresses from nana and papa. Cute! Actually all the Hawaiian stuff is cute!!
Thanks! That was sweet of them to think of Hawaii attire as a birthday gift.
Lol at the specific pj requirements. Caden does that too.
Ha, these silly kids.
Last week, it was very important to Izzy that she wear the doggy top with the kitty pants.
And I'm totally ignoring potty training signals too cause I don't want to have a newly potty trained kid at Disney world. Haha. I get ya!
Yes, it just seems so much more complicated! I understand if they've been trained for a while, it might be easier, but so new to the concept and long flights and pools and all scares me.
However, if I thought it could get her into the kids' club, I'd try. But my understanding is that they are firm about being potty trained AND over 3 years old - not one or the other. Hmmm, I wonder if I can keep up my record of never having to change a diaper in an airline bathroom.
Or, heck, maybe there's a full changing station in First Class.
wow, packing for such a trip sounds like such an undertaking!
It's different, but not too bad. I'm used to WDW and it's similar, but some new things to consider. At least I don't have to be too constricted by luggage allowances (other than fitting them in the car).
With regards to pool things, we have for both our older kids these floaties that we love. Honestly, not sure if they are "puddle jumpers" but taking a quick look at google images shows that either they are or something super similar. They just make it so much easier for little kids to keep their heads up above water. So definitely suggest that. Not sure the official rules but even having something like that on might help with the lazy river too
I ended up ordering one from Target. Figured I might as well try it on in advance at home and see if it fits and if she likes it. If so, I'd love to have it there for her to use, especially when it's just the two of us.
The new pajamas are super cute!
Thanks! The DIS made me do it.
Might be a silly question but does it get cool at all at night there? I know some "hot" places still get cool/cold at night - might want to think of a sweater/sweatshirt or two
I know we'll have warmer clothes for our travel days (MN in November...we'll be wearing at least light jackets to the airport), however, I might throw in a few more things for each of us. I do get cold easy in the A/C - I was just in AZ for work and I was so glad to have my fleece...for indoors! My boss (well, boss' boss), was totally right when he warned me that many places seemed to try to make up for the outdoor heat by keeping their A/Cs set to "popsicle".
Not sure if Hawaii is the same way.
Love the clothes! (And the PJs
I'm so excited for your trip! You're going to have a blast!
Thank you!
I think we will have an incredible time!
Love the clothes! My baby girl is 19, but I sure loved buying her clothes when she was little! She hates to shop, so I will just relive those fun little girl shopping days through your report. Lol!

Thanks! Haha, glad to help! I'm not a big shopper, but it is fun to put together her little outfits for our trips.
Thank you!
For the pool, I think all you'd need to bring is the waterproof camera and room key. The pool float might be nice for the lazy river, that is a good idea. Aria was okay with the disney life jackets (and is under the 30 pound minimum weight requirement) and in October was able to swim solo with it on (I didn't try it in August). Since she is in swim lessons now and I have high hopes she will be swimming solo by February I haven't looked into anything beyond her boating life jacket, so I don't know about those life jackets you mentioned.
That's what I'm thinking - don't bring much to the pool. Especially now with the camera - no need to consider bringing the phone too. I was noticing Aria's Disney lifejacket in your pics - she seems okay with it, so that's good. Gives me a couple options to bring the one and also have those available.
For your flight though, my first thought was "Izzy will probably stay awake until you board, so be prepared for that" LOL. With all the craziness of getting through security and finding the gate, I bet she'll be wide awake. Nice that you have that full day there though to enjoy the resort and get in another character meal and fun dinner as well. The departure lounge sounds nice!
Well, if she stays awake, that's just all the more sleep she can get on the flight.
I hope, at least. I'm still not sure how the time change will be affecting her at that point...it will be 4 hours later than home, so I don't know if she'll have fully shifted by the end of the trip or what. We'll see, I guess.
Those jelly shoes are SO cute.
Thanks!
Will you be doing photopass while at aulani? Could you post lots of details about it if you do? Thanks!

I will be trying to do Photopass. My understanding is that it is the same price after as before (i.e. - no pre-purchase discount), so I'm going to get as many as I can and then see if it's worth buying. What I "know" about it now is this (gathered from DIS comments, so hopefully reasonably accurate):
*There are photographers by the beach around sunset - this is one thing I want to take advantage of!
*There are NOT photographers at the character breakfast or character meets. Really strange and disappointing!
*You can view your photos on your in-room TV. I like this idea!
*There is some sort of scavenger hunt where you get pics from different locations and get free prints.
*They take pics of you in the water. Not sure how you get them - I think you may have to go through and find the ones with you?
*You can get the CD there or order at home after adding borders, etc.
I'll be sure to include our experiences in the TR!
I just love all the Hawaii themed clothes. Bring the sundresses, it is warm every day. You will only need a very light jacket or sweater, just in case the air conditioning is a little chilly. Have a great time, you will just love Aulani and the Island.
Sounds great, thank you!
I love all the cute outfits! Jelly shoes were my FAVORITE when I was little!
I remember loving mine too!
It must be so nice to be packing dresses, shorts, and bathing suits while it just keeps getting colder here.
Yes indeed! We've had pretty decent weather here for this time of year, but it's going to be dropping off soon, I believe. I'm sure we'll be happy to escape to the warmth and sunshine!
Hope you had a ball cleaning. 
I guess that fits my "bad timing" rant. I am going to have to find some back-up clothes for her unless they show up tomorrow.
