I've wanted to go to WDW since I was knee high to a grass hopper- haven't made it yet. (I was however able to go to Disneyland at age 9 and again at age 26.)

After saving for years I am delighted to announce I'm finally going! I've got three cute little monkeys running around my house and I decided to take them with me. (They might feel bad if I went without them...)

The hotel and tickets were booked months ago, I've been playing around with ADRs whenever I get too bored and naturally I've been browsing DISboards whenever I can't sleep for tips and whatnot.

Last night I happened to glance at a calendar and realized I have a little over two weeks left. :scared1: Where did the time go?? I had to hop online and book the airfare real fast and now I have all kinds of little things to wrap up.

Tip envelopes: Check! I found some goodies on the DISigns thread. and I'm almost done with them.

Passports for the monkeys: Almost there. Again, I found great stuff on the DISigns thread, I just need to spend it off to be printed.

Matching shirts: Why not? I am a little cheesy like that. I'm going to try making some this weekend.

Rental car: Looking today. (Yes, I do need a rental car because I'm flying to Tampa instead of Orlando and the shuttle doesn't go to TPA,does it?) By flying to TPA instead of MCO I saved 1,285$. I figure that's worth the extra drive time.

Way to spring the big news on the short people who live here: Ummmmm.....? No, I haven't told my sweet rugrats yet. I want to surprise them, but I keep going back and forth on how to break it to them in the funnest way without causing excess heart palpitations- Last thing I want on the way to the airport is a medical emergency...:rotfl:

What else should I be doing?
 
This morning I made some tip envelopes for our Mousekeepers. We are staying in Port Orleans Riverside in the Alligator Bayou so I used a Princess and the Frog theme. I am printing these on a heavy paper, then they just fold and glue together.
