[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

great update! Sounds like an exciting day. We will be at AK this day as well I believe. I can't wait to ride EE at night. I can't wait to ride EE period. I still haven't gotten the chance to.

Thanks! It should be a great day! I am really looking forward to EE at night...but you're right, fun either way! You will love it! It is a great ride! Hmmmm....maybe we will run into you!!!!

I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is awesome! I was looking back at the first post in the PTR...from you! It said that we could help each other get through these next 100+ days!!! LOL Look haw far we've come!

Sunday will be last double digit day!!! Oh. I was going to say if you were in Epcot the 10th I'd show you pix! If I take video on my point and shoot, can I put that on cd and watch it on the computer? I never did it. In fact, I never used my camera to take video at all.

Aww, we have made it quite far - together - with the help of some friends along the way

I have taken a few videos with my camera (Canon PowerShot) and they're not perfect, but they are not bad either. Nothing like the cell phone videos you see on the news, but not the super crisp-ness of a camcorder. I recommend it!

Ok...time to wrap this itinerary up and move on to some other issues!!!

So, day 9 is our last park day and it will be at Epcot. We are going to take to opportunity to sleep in this day. We will have already been to Epcot once and don't need another FULL day there, so we are doing it very laid back. I am thinking we will just grab a quick breakfast from the Mara and then we have our resort photo session booked. That is at 10:00. It only takes about 30 minutes, so we will go back to our room after and change (unless we want to wear to the park what we wore for the photo session). We are not getting dressed up, but not really dressed down like in shorts either. Anyway, after all that we will catch an Epcot bus and get over there! I figure we can be at the park around 11:30 or 12:00.

Once in the park, we will finish up whatever we want to do in Future World. Then, we have our lunch ADR at Le Cellier. We are so excited for this one!! (Well DH and I are!) After a great lunch, we are going to go over to the Boardwalk area to just check things out. We are not taking a break at all today since it's the last full day and we are making it a later start.

After a bit of exploring at the Boardwalk, we will head back to Epcot. This will be our last chance to do anything in World Showcase. We may grab a snack and try to do the stand-by line for CP??? I am not sure about this. We opted out of the package, but kind of want to see it. Andy Garcia is the narrator that night and I love him! So, it is a possibility!

After doing whatever we decide on in Epcot, we will head out and get over to the Poly for our Ohana reservation. (We cancelled our Chef Mickeys and booked this instead to free up our first night a bit!) I think this will be a nice way to end our trip anyway! I am really looking forward to this meal after hearing all the great reviews! Plus, being at the Poly, we will take the monorail over to the MK after to catch our bus home and get to say good-bye to the castle.

Then, it'll be back to AKL. I also am thinking this night will be when I have the wine basket delivered for DH. We can enjoy that for our final night!


The last day, we will sleep in again. We have a 10:30 breakfast reservation at Boma. So, everyone can get up by 9 and finish packing last minute things, get dressed and showered (not in that order). I guess we will check out before breakfast. After breakfast, we are just going to hang out around the resort and check out what we can there before catching ME back to the airport about 1:30.

And. that's all she wrote!!!

I know! I'm glad you we found each other!

Ok...I will try it! I just want to be able to transfer it to cd!!!

What time is your 12/10 Ohana ressie? Ours is 5:05P

 

[nic100308]

Sounds like the perfect end to a perfect vacation. I'm curious how your photo session comes out, maybe something to consider when we have a family. We decided to go for the CP dinner package on 12/11 (Andy Garcia too) and we will also be dining at Le Cellier. I think this is the one we are most excited about. I honestly can't wait for the fillet!!!

Anyway, don't think too much about the end of the trip, you don't want to be sad before you leave. The good news is that you have a nice long, packed vaca so maybe you'll have you fill by the end!?!? LOL yeah right!!!!

 

[exwdwcm]

love your bouncy countdown- so cute!

and yeah on 13 days! love the last few days schedule. we are doing Ohana our last night too- i love it there.

i also am a huge Earle fan. i used to travel to Orlando 3x a year on business. tradeshow there all time--anyhow, no matter where I was staying on business, i would always rent a car and drive over to DTD at least 1-2x during my stay just for Earle! lol

the trip looks so great- i can't believe it is so close now. i am a week behind you. Will you guys be doing any live updates on this thread or FB or twitter or anything? I'd love to sign on and watch if you are!

13 days--I wish I was there--but then you'd have to do something to me.

Can you believe the weather there right now? I bought long sleeved t-shirts and am thinking I need to see how many shorts I kept out.

Accuweather.com has predictions 15 days out--they are pretty on target with their predictions. I remember thinking 15 days away from June 30 "they are crazy--how can they know it will rain all that day?"

Well. . .they were right: this was 3pm on June 30--

Anyway--13 days from today:

High 76, Low 54. Pretty nice.

 

[Happydog]

Wow!!! Getting so close! How exciting! itineraries look great! Good to slow down a bit, I am sure it will be fun! Ohanas will be a great final dinner!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

sounds great!!! By next week here in Cincinnati it's going to be in the 40s. I thought for sure that the weather would stick in the 60s till Dec 10th...my dad laughed! Oh well!! That 76 looks pretty good to me!!!

Oh....not until 9:35. We are going for a late one to get tons of park time in!!

Thanks Nic!!! I am excited for the photo shoot! We have not done a family picture since the little one was around one or so. I didn't want to pay oop for the CP so it is up in the air for us...we'll see! I am definitely getting the fillet!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMM Good!

I know...too much to think about now to worry about it being over!! You are right...I may be ready to get home and do Christmas!! Maybe!

love your bouncy countdown- so cute!

Thanks!! I am loving it too!!

I have never done Ohana but based on the reviews, I am thinking I will love it!!

Their sandwiches are great, right?? We have eaten there every trip!!

It is soooo close that now the days are dragging!!!! I will not be doing any live updates...sorry. But, as soon as I get back, you can be sure that I will get a TR rolling out. It will start slow probably because of the holidays, but not to worry...it will be there! LOL

Ha! You can come along and just stay right into your vacation!!

I have been looking on accuweather.com...our first full day says 80 degrees!!! I will take it!!

Wow!!! Getting so close! How exciting! itineraries look great! Good to slow down a bit, I am sure it will be fun! Ohanas will be a great final dinner!

I know!!! I am so excited and feel like it went so quick up to this point! But, sadly now it feels like it is dragging!! The waiting game!! I am really looking forward to Ohana!

sounds great!!! By next week here in Cincinnati it's going to be in the 40s. I thought for sure that the weather would stick in the 60s till Dec 10th...my dad laughed! Oh well!! That 76 looks pretty good to me!!!

Yeah...getting cold in PA also! It has been in the mid 50's, but it is working it's way down! It is bound to happen...it's almost December up north...stinks!!!! I think for Black Friday they are saying 30's here.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Um....guys....I have some wonderful, awesome spectacular news!!!!!

Disney just saved me a bit of money!!!!!

I got the pin offer in my e-mail tonight for the merchandise credit!!

If you don't know what this is, you can buy a $500 Disney card for $395 or a $600 card for $445 or a $1000 card for $695.

I was planning on $1000 or so for spending (excluding adult drinks and tips and food or snacks after we are off the dining plan). So, that saves me $300!!! The best part...it never expires! So, if we don't use it all, I can save it!! I think I will manage to spend a nice chunk of it and then I can get more Christmas presents there than I originally planned!! WoooHooooo!!!! I am really excited about this! I had my eye on one of these babies ever since I saw the thread originally!!!! So, the rest of you...be on the lookout!!!!

 

[Trentmom]

That is awesome deal

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

OHHHHH I am jealous! Can you buy 2 $1000 GC? *hint*hint*

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

That is awesome deal

I was super excited!!!! I've had my fingers crossed for it for a long time now!!

I know!!!!!

OHHHHH I am jealous! Can you buy 2 $1000 GC? *hint*hint*

I asked actually....thinking of a couple of my Dis buds...but no such luck! You pick one card to buy and that is it. Sorry!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Only 12 days left!!!!!!!!!

 

[nic100308]

So totally jealous!!!!! I've been keeping my fingers crossed too!! I could still get it, how many days out are you? I hope I still get one! I know there are exclusions on the card, I think I read that it could only be used in DISNEY store (so nothing in WS) and I thinking I remember reading that you could not use it on food or drinks (no worries we have free dining). Anyway I know that that $1000 is the best value, but I'm not sure that makes sense for us. LOL good things it's not an issue right now!!!

YAY, we're getting so close. I'm going to scope out the River Roost drink menu and decide what I want. I'm usually a beer girl, and if I get a drink, drink I always get a gin and tonic, but this is vacation so I think I need something special!!!
