) trip and it is no one's last trip. There will be no marching through the parks from open to close anyway. And they're smart enough to rent a car for easy hotel returns for naps.
We had our first adventure last night - oh, the joy of family trips.
As far as I can tell, there was, uh, a conversation between my brother and his wife (where the end result was that she went to bed and he hopped on Facebook chat to vent). My SIL announced YESTERDAY that there was no way that the dinner times we had planned were appropriate because of their daughter/my niece's bedtime. She's 9 months old. That bedtime is 8pm, come heck or high water and there will be no change and no deviation from that bedtime no way no how.
Ha. This only appeared yesterday. So my brother was in total PANIC mode - and complaint mode - so he hopped online to vent. He and I looked and there were earlier times available for all (!!!) the late dinners, so we made new reservations. I called my parents to update them and, like me, their response was "oh okay," with a side of "do they still think that they're really in control of what a baby does? She's gonna do what she's gonna do!"
Then, due to some weird situation, I had dinner reservations for my parents for one night, my brother has a reservation for me and my husband, and my parents have a reservation for my bro and SIL... so I ended up being the middleman, asking my parents to change that dinner reservation. I screwed it up three times so finally the four of us (our parents, my brother, me) all ended up on Google chat to get it all sorted out.
It's SUCH an "alls well that ends well!" situation, I must say. I can't believe that we were able to get appropriate times for our dinners a month away. The fates were surely smiling on us last night.
We'll see, anyway. I'm not sure how smart bringing a 9 month old to Disney in July really is... but it's no one's first (okay, the niece's first, but she doesn't REALLY count at this point!
If that's the worst strife, then I think we're getting out REALLY lucky!!
....I did get a wheelchair reserved for the trip, too. Even my TA told me I should!
2 Ohanas every trip in exchange for DVC? Done LOL
Our character meals originally were: Cape May breakfast, Ohana b'fast, Akershus b'fast and Crystal Palace dinner. Now I've added H&V. And I got an ADR for Garden Grill on 7/20 at 8:00 pm. But I think that's too late and I'm going to cancel and lie and say I couldn't get it. Cape May and Ohana we're paying OOP for and now H&V, as well. It's totally escalating. And there are only 3 of us going.
I'm thinking if I can get a CRT and do a room service b'fast one day that'll pay for the dxddp and I can be done with all this. I thought I was set a few weeks ago
Mickey Mail arrived!!!
Now, I have a question for anyone who already received their vouchers.......did you get an actual arcade card or just a paper voucher? The reason I am asking is that a few years ago, they actually sent the hard plastic card - and mine was missing from the packet. It took a lot of run around at the resort to get it replaced, and I want to avoid that this year. All that is in my packet now is a paper voucher......just want to make sure nothing is missing.....thanks!

I got Mickey Mail today too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually had got it last week, but I had to change my reservation last weekend to add a friend of my daughters so they had to re-issue.
NOW I got the RIGHT Mickey Mail!!!!!! WOOO HOOOO
That whole changing dining plans and checking in and out just sounded so complicated to me. Especially since I am using 2 sets of old tickets already, one set for waterparks and one for major parks. I can't take any more complicated LOL

At 3 she still doesn't sleep. One of my children's best features is that they did/do love their sleep 
The t-shirts are great! Very cute.
I am all for meeting up in AK on July 6. No ADR's for us, so whatever time works ( probably in the AM, going to try to do the shows in the early PM) before we head back to our hotel for swim and nap ( and lunch LOL)
