We'll, I'm here! Sadly, my husband is not.
The new meet and greets for the princesses and Mickey and Minnie are awesome though and I've already seen several t-shirts I want. They have some shirts now for Philharmagic and I now DH will want one.
Ohh... I love Philharmagic. I'll have to look for that one! So sorry about your DH, that totally stinks!
We had them, but dd and I had never seen any of them. She's kind of a scaredy cat, too and did the whole 'watch with a blanket to pull over my face' method of watching some parts..
I've never watched any of them either! DH and DD1 have, DD2 is still kind of on the fence about pirates, I'm afraid it would send her over the edge!
I didn't need the FP--even with the rain, the waits were 15 for the princesses and 10 minutes for Mickey and Minnie!!!
I forgot ! I could see the new castle in Fantasyland off in the distance.
I don't know if we'll be able to reschedule or not. We like breakfast and I already changed CP so I could make the Tangled m&g.
Too exciting about the M&Gs and castle. Did you read on Theme Parks that Flynn is leaving Tangled on July 3? Get that one in early if you want to see him. So is Naveen.
That is my dilemma, too. I did it last time and it worked except I didn't get my requests. This time I don't have any requests but am secretly hoping for some magic because I did note on our reservation that it is our 20th.
I've just about decided that for us, a few hours later for room ready is worth the chance for a better view. It seems like online gets you in quicker, but not necessarily in the best rooms. I think they take it to mean you are in a hurry to get your room if you do online, but we always get to WDW really early (6 or 7) after driving all night, and tell them we'll wait for the view we want.
Okay.. today was a "Disney day".
With the package I booked I was supposed to get a $25 gift card and a Disney Carry on luggage. I did not get these. Boooo.... I felt bad bothering this TA because she was just filling in for mine. But, she did find out that I get the GC at check in.
So glad you'll still get your GC, too bad about the carry on, but if you don't need it for this trip, ITA, small snag! You're going to Disney World!
Ok, this is the response I got from my TA about my Mickey mail on the 22nd"No worries, I actually checked on it yesterday and it shipped to me Monday, so expect to receive it today or tomorrow! DH is certainly deserving of the R&R, glad you are able to make it happen!"I found a friend to bring my garbage can into my garage the day we arrive @ my mom's house But I found out that the lid to my cooler is now missing so I get to buy a new one of those on the first. I feel like I'm forgetting something but I'm not sure what
Maybe it will be there tomorrow, which I guess is today now.

Glad you got your trash taken care of. As for forgetting something, I'll share some of the stuff I have done/need to do maybe it will trip your memory: scheduled USPS to hold mail, paid bills due while we're gone, pet sitting, charge camera and video camera batteries, check and dump memory cards, get small bills for tipping, fill up gas tank, give our cell and my father-in-law's phone number to next door neighbors and alert them about being gone,call CC and debit card co. to let them know we'll be using the cards in WDW, and on the way down, start drinking extra water,

. Double check park times and ADRs and print everything out, send those docs to phones and itouches. That's just some of it. I have a HUGE list I need to accomplish! Don't know how many electronics that need charging you are taking, but we always take a power strip to plug them all into.
I have done it and it was fine, but when I have not, it did not seem to matter much. I do not think I am doing it this year, because I am worried about our room location. DH is still having a hard time walking and I would like a room close to the elevators......so in case we have to change it. I also want to have our park tickets removed from our room key so we can upgrade to APs..........
I agree totally with you. Seems like it helps to get room early, but it might not be where you want. How exciting that you are getting AP's!
Watched Hook with my daughter Anyway my daughter LOVED it! I am so happy because I love that movie!!!! PS I have nothing else I can really do to get ready and it is bugging me ... ok well I could clean more ... but I much prefer to procrastinate on that one
When does your DH get in? I've never seen Hook either.

I have sooo much to do, I am starting to stress a bit. Well, a lot! Speaking of cleaning, I feel the need for my house to look it's best when I leave. Why is that? I'm not worried about how it looks now.

AND, the last thing I do before hugging my dogs goodbye is put pine sol in the toilets so the house smells better.
1 more assignment done!

Just one more stands between me and packing and getting ready!

Still no DVD player.

DH is off until we leave next Thursday, so he can help. Hopefully. He worked on the SUV yesterday, deemed it okay to drive, so that's settled. I keep having this sense of impending doom, and I know it's the OCD me that feels the least prepared for this trip. I'm usually packed by now, and I don't even have a clue what clothes anyone is wearing!

In fact, I'm not even sure how much

needs to be done! Any extra time I have, I feel like I am cramming for a test and trying to learn all the stuff I've missed out on here, like I didn't even know HM had a new queue????? Oh well. In a week, I will have spent my first night there, and will hopefully be sitting on my laptop looking at giraffes before heading over to BLT to look at my castle! So I'd better get it done!!!
