July 2011:Calling all planners-Post your dates & Resort

As far as the surprise goes, someone suggested I make a puzzle and send her on a scavenger hunt for the pieces that she can put together to reveal the trip. I think its the perfect idea for a 7 year old, she will love it!
I was the one who did that :) It worked out amazingly well for us. I'm going to do it again for this trip. DD doesn't know yet that we're going.

No problem. :) I understand. You were distracted thinking of Dole Whips. :cloud9:

I haven't had a Dole Whip since 2009. I know that because it was too cold to eat ice cream last time we were there.:rotfl2:

finally, we all can say :
NEXT MONTH WE'RE GOING TO WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!
:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
I feel like I have so much to do between now and then !

I put my DD as 7 on here, just so I don't have to update it later, but she's turning 7 on June 30th! We're celebrating her bday this trip too!
My dd is still listed at 7 on here, but will be 8 on June 27th. We might have tried to go for her bd this year, but school here doesn't end until June 25th. Weekend airfare was just crazy, though.

My youngest DD will be 8 on July 8th so we are celebrating her birthday this trip too! We are leaving here on July 8th and will be at Disney on July 9th. I tried to schedule it so we could be there on her b-day but my work schedule wouldn't allow it. Before Disney, we will be in St. Louis July 1-4th so we have a busy couple weeks.

Wow, a lot of us with girls around the same age, huh?

I'm so EXCITED!!!

This reminded me of that commercial from a few years back where the guys says too his wife "I'm too excited to sleep". I loved that commercial :)
 
We're leaving on 7/19 and staying offsite. We'll be hitting Magic Kingdom, Sea World, Aquatica, and both Universal parks. We might add a DHS day - fingers crossed!
 
finally, we all can say :

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

:dance3: 7 weeks from today we should be in Disney!

Got our ressies for July 9-16 at our favorite Port Orleans French Quarter! H


:cool1:

Our list:
2000 - FQ
2003 - FQ
2006 - Offsite (never again)
2007 - CB

:welcome: we love the FQ too. It is such a nice resort:goodvibes

My dd is still listed at 7 on here, but will be 8 on June 27th. We might have tried to go for her bd this year, but school here doesn't end until June 25th. Weekend airfare was just crazy, though.

My DD turns 8 on June 17th. Lots of June birthdays.

We're leaving on 7/19 and staying offsite. We'll be hitting Magic Kingdom, Sea World, Aquatica, and both Universal parks. We might add a DHS day - fingers crossed!

:welcome: I see you are from Mass. What a crazy day in New England with all the tornado warnings and all :scared1:

Those are our exact dates and the same resort. We should definitely run into each other at least once.
 

I have added a couple of ADRs for the sake of afternoon air conditioning!:thumbsup2

July 13- Biergarten @1215
July 14- 50s Prime Time @1250

I can't believe our trip is almost here!!:banana:

We're not actually going to be there on her birthday, but shortly thereafter, so we're still calling it a birthday celebration. It's her first visit to WDW too, so it's going to be pretty special! It's kinda neat that alot of us have girls around the same age, and with birthdays all around the same time!

I LOVE the little girl on the Disney Vacation DVD, that says "I am SO excited!!" she's too cute! My DD likes to imitate her :lmao:
 
Oh cool! Will you be able to make it to the meet on the 10th? I'm sure the 3 girls would have a fun time meeting!!

As it stands right now, we're planning on being at MK that day, so we just may be able to do that! I just can't wait to try a Dole Whip, I've heard so many people talk about them....and I love, love, love pineapple...yummy!

Yep, so far I think two tornadoes have touched down. Luckily, they were pretty far away from my area. Hopefully it'll be back to sunny and warm tomorrow!

I had 4 pages of posts to catch up reading!

I can't believe it! Next month we will be in Disney with my DH! So I get to be with my most favorite person in the world in my happiest place on earth!!

I did a no no today and went to the mall....They opened up a Children's Place and I couldn't resist! I got Hailey some shorts and tank tops and Gillian some short's and tank tops and each of the girls some new sunglasses (although Meghan got 2 pairs because they were 2 for 5 and I have 3 DD's and she was closest to me when I saw the sign :rotfl:) Then we went to 2 sporting good's stores to look for new kayak shoes for Meghan..first store was a total flop, all they had were Croc's flip flops (and Meghan wanted closed toe) so we went to another one and she found a pair she liked that were on sale:banana: I also bought her some hair ties at Claires. Saturday I have to use my 50% off coupon for the fabric. I also got 2 100 dollar gift card's from Sams club today with 10 dollar Disney store gift cards. I can't help but wonder though, can those 10 dollar cards be used in the World of Disney Store in DTD?
 
Is it still a tradition for DIS'ers to show their "identity" by displaying lime green mickey ears???

Any of the DISigners have one made... maybe i could have my DIS user name on it... or under it??

I'd like to make some tags for my luggage/backpacks...maybe even our door at CSR....

Hoping that I get one HELLO from a fellow DIS'er!!

thank you!
 
Have one ADR to add: Play n Dine 11:40 July 26th

Can't believe it is finally just 48 more days until our family vacation at WDW. :woohoo: Hope all the July Diser's have a great trip.

I believe it still is the tradition. I have one on my purse every year - have not yet had anyone say anything... I was thinking of laminating it though, they get really worn out.

I added your ADR as Hollywood & Vine - hope that is ok.




I got my new Baggallini for the trip. I was a little sad when I saw it had a magnetic closure, I had looked carefully and not seen it in the pictures. Last year I had a terrible time with our APs demagnetizing and I did not want that to happen again. Anyway, I was able to do a little "surgery" and remove the magnets. Luckily they were in a spot where they were not noticeable or necessary.

Ok. I remember seeing a few people post with confusion about the lime green mickeys (granted, I noticed because I was super confused.

Quick google search brought this up:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2265261
http://www.www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2273433

And I can't decide what to try- Dole Whip, or the float! I guess maybe get a Dole Whip the first day... then if it's good, try the float after?

Thanks for finding the threads about the lime green Mickey Head. Having trouble gettting the paper off of mine so I hope I can get back to a Home Dept to get a few more since I have ruined 4. At least I still have one from our last trip but since I didn't laminate it it looks kind of tattered.

Here's wishing al the July Diser's a little pixie dust pixiedust: for a wonderful vacation.
 
Welcome! I need to go get some... it'll feel like I'm closer to the trip! :cool1:

I can put together a lime green mickey head with your disname in it :) I will work on it later today. I think I will make me one too!

That stinks it had magnets! I just got one too and I looked it up and down and don't see any magnets ... are there different models? Mine appears to be all zippers. Where were your magnets?

And I can't decide what to try- Dole Whip, or the float! I guess maybe get a Dole Whip the first day... then if it's good, try the float after?

Mmmm float all the way! But I am a float person :) My favorite kind of float is root beer with chocolate ice cream!
