YOU are going for quite a stretch!!! WOW! Amazing! But I understand coming for a true holiday abroad you gotta make it worth the while! Seems like you found a great deal with Disney, etc. I can't wait to catch up and get all your plans.

Looking forward to it!

great to see you. Thanks for coming over. We are coming for a few days longer than we usually would. Normally we do 14 days but decided we would take a beach break as well so 17 days was just right. I love the planning part and even enjoy packing. For us that's all part of the excitement

Seems we have a problem with our ticker Need to look at this. We were listening to the podcast this morning and Pete was talking about dis tickers will go and take a look at this. This was a good way of seeing the triple digits gradually moving to the double digits Only a few days till we move out of the triples so I'll get onto this quickly.

Happy easter weekend

Passporter!! I have the 2009 and 2010--I could not resist it. I need to fill it out but have not had as much of a chance yet.

Cute books! Great clothes for your trip! I love picking things up in bits and pieces--makes it much easier on the pocketbook that way.

I'm loving passporter still got things to fill in but it is really good Shopping is great especially when its for your vacation I'll need to stop buying as I'll not be able to bring it all with us

It's official now we are in double digits

I am a bit behind as I missed the 100 day mark. Two reasons, or excuses I suppose. I am back at work so it is busy busy in the house and I have lost our ticker. Not sure what has happened to our ticker Not had a chance to look into getting it replaced yet.

So what's been happening. Well finally DD2 passport photograph has been done and the form had been finished Now it needs to be posted off and we'll await the return hopefully with a complete passport. Our passport office are really funny with the photographs so they may send it back. ESTAs are still outstanding I need to wait until DD2 passport has been returned and these forms need to contain all our passport numbers.

We are just about to make our final payments

Shopping has continued, I'll do another shopping update, think I need to stop now as I haven't looked out what they already have and really do not want to take too much as that means less space for the shopping we will buy

Haven't planned any disney afternoons/evenings expect for the odd evening when Gran and Grandad have dropped in and we have looked at some things on the web and planned our ADRs. Oh we have been watching old videos of previous trips, kids do get a bit fed up so they only get watched in small timeframes.

Yay for double digits!

The DIS blocked the site with the tickers. It had some sort of virus or something. I got mine from the DIS, or there is another website where people are getting them that is still safe. I don't know what it is or I would post it. Sorry I'm not much help!

I can officially report that DD2 passport form has officially been posted off and should return in a couple of weeks That didn't take long Another item ticked off.

Children are on school holidays at the moment and for once we have had a week of not bad weather The weekend had some sunny weather even warm enough for no jackets what an achievement in April. It has even stayed dry since then, let's hope it keeps going

Had to get holidays authorised in work this week so it looks great on the wall planner all those days marked off

 

[smithpack]

I am glad you were able to get your holidays authorized by work!! That would not have been good if you couldn't get off the days that you have booked.

Do your kids have to get pictures with their passports?

 

[Charlefours]

for being in double digits!! How exciting--your trip is going to be here before you know it!! :

for getting the passport off! Now it will be great when it ends up in your hands!!

Looking forward to the next update

We need to get their photographs taken every 5 years. Adult photographs last 10 years. It is hard getting their photographs when they are babies as they have to be quite specific. They do relax things a little with babies but you cannot be showing any teeth, the background has to be neutral, the photograph has to be an exact size and it needs to be a shoulder and head shoot. We still have enough time to get another photograph taken if they do not accept what we have submitted, keeping fingers crossed

Not too sure what happened with my reply to your post so I've put it in again. We need to get their photographs taken every 5 years. Adult photographs last 10 years. It is hard getting their photographs when they are babies as they have to be quite specific. They do relax things a little with babies but you cannot be showing any teeth, the background has to be neutral, the photograph has to be an exact size and it needs to be a shoulder and head shoot.

Well so far we have not had anything returned on the passport front so thinking that is maybe a good sign. They generally return something quick quickly if there is something wrong the photograph, maybe I am just telling myself that

I had lots of pics to post of all the purchases, kind of shopping update but DH deleted them to free up some space on the camera when he DS, DBIL and DN when to see the wrestling the other week. So I will try and get some interesting things posted over the weekend and do a proper update

 

[Happydog]

Oh nuts on your pics being deleted!! I hate it when that happens , and sometimes I do this to myself!!!

Wow, I am just under two months until our trip and you trip just behind! It is coming up quickly, isn't it!!??

 

[Charlefours]

Darn your pictures got deleted!! Hope you and yours are doing well!

 

[gallmcduck]

Yey I have to report that DD2 passport has arrived I will do photos again for this pre trip but not had a chance yet to re-take all the shopping pics since DH deleted them. Having to work really interfers with your DIS time I do need to schedule a weekly slot and not just a weekend slot. Maybe I will get that I phone

So what's been going on. Well is was DD1 4th birthday on wednesday and she was got so many lovely presents. DSIL was just fab DD2 loved them. One thing mummy loved, loved them all but I will post this one, was a playsuit for the beach So cute that I had to buy one for DD1, I will post a pic of them, wait till you see them just gorg I had to buy a match for DS too. They will just look so cure on the beach at clearwater. I know it is not disney but it's part of our vacation and will provide us with some well needed rest before we hit the parks again

We've been planning again and thinking about our first night. We really want to do something so we are thinking that ourselves and DS may take a wee boat trip to DTD and head for something to eat at EOS We don't want to take away our first morning goosebumps but need to just get that first night buzz too. What do you think?
