July 2012 Resort and ADR Lists Thread...Countdown to Disney!

[anjalee6]

Question of the day...

Unpack when you get there or live out of the suitcase?

We unpack toiletries and small things like that but our clothes we typically leave in the suitcase and just unpack and wear as we go.

 

[anjalee6]

Disney tomorrow, the day is finally here.
You're all packed and ready; now it's time to cheer.
Hope your trip is merry and filled with special things.
And that you are surrounded with the magic that Disney brings!

We unpack when we arrive. I am too OCD to live out of the suitcase

Question of the day...

We unpack everything. We stay in a 1-bedroom villa for 10 nights at BWV. The kids' clothing goes in the drawers in the living room below the TV. Our clothing goes in the dresser in the bedroom. And we unpack all toiletries (except for the "just in case" meds, like Tylenol, etc.). I do laundry while we are there, once in the middle and once at the end before we leave. All of this really makes it feel like home!

Disneyworld July 14th Trip Report


July 13th


Returned home from work at 3:00PM. Midori and I showered, dressed and moved the luggage to the driveway. Driver picked us up at 5:00 PM and delivered DD and I to the DFW Marriott, north of the airport. Checked in our room and went down stairs to eat dinner, fell asleep at 10:15 PM.


July 14th


Received a wake up call at 2:30 AM. Cleaned up, dressed and went down stairs for a breakfast snack at the Coffee Cart. Marriott shuttle took us to terminal A, Gate 35 for check in at 4:30 AM. Boarded the plane at 5:50 AM and settled down for the flight. Midori log in to the GoGo internet and watched you tube videos and chatted with her friends on her Ipad. Departed DFW 6:20 AM and arrived Orlando at 9:50 AM. Boarded ME immediately and drove off within 8 minutes. Dropped off Key West, Saratoga and arrived POFQ.


The check in lines were full so we were directed to check in with the Concierge. Kelly our agent told us that there were no more standard rooms available because they were sold out so if we wanted to stay at POFQ we would have to accept our free upgrade to a preferred room over looking the River / Garden. At first, when Kelly mentioned no rooms because of sell out I was nervous, then I listened to the rest of her conversation and then realized PIXIE DUST has been sprinkled, I was gleaming with smiles. We accepted and walked over to our room and settled in.


Wego Shopping called about 11:30 AM to let me know that she was at the front drive of POFQ with my grocery order. Met the driver, paid, tipped and walked back to the room with my order. Midori and I walked over to the food court and ordered Chicken Nuggets with F.F. And a Cheese Steak Sandwich, purchased a refillable cup and enjoyed our lunch. (Decided not to eat at Earl of Sandwich) no reason other than we were super hungry NOW!!! and wanted to eat.


Rode the bus to DTD to shop at World of Disney for friends of Midori. Purchased a Perry stuffy for Midori and then returned to the Resort.


Midori decided to rest and watch TV and chat on her I pad with her friends while waiting for me to unpack. DD fell asleep and slept until 9:00 PM. Woke up and said she was hungry. We walked over to the food court and purchased BBQ Ribs and Chicken Nuggets with Mac and Cheese. We placed our food at a table and walked over to the condiment station to get Ketchup and eating utensils. Ketchup was being replaced so I waited. 3 Cast Members walked towards me with a Cupcake and a Balloon and shouted to the 100's in the food court to join them in wishing and singing Happy Birthday to me. WOW!!! another dusting of PIXIE DUST. We sat down and enjoyed our meal and walked back to our room. DD wanted to change the color of her finger nail polish so I repainted her nails. We then settled down in our comfortable beds and watched TV until we fell asleep.


July 15th


I woke up at 4:30 AM and walked around the resort for exercise and enjoyed coffee on a bench over looking the river. Came back to the room to do my morning worship and now starting our trip report. Today is MK day with extra hours in the evening.

Sounds wonderful so far! Geez, Midori must have been exhausted to sleep until 9:00 pm. Glad you enjoyed your first day and the cupcake and Balloon were a wonderful touch. That sounds like so much fun! Hope today and MK is a great day!

Are you celebrating something special this year at Disney?

This year we are going a week before my DS's birthday. We couldn't go on his actual birthday, but we made it as close possible.

Other than that, this year is pretty low key.

Are you celebrating something special this year at Disney?

We are celebrating just being able to go to our favorite place for vacations! However since my son's bday always falls during the school year we decided to pick out a day during this trip to celebrate an "unbirthday" for him and make it his special day!

To all those leaving tomorrow have safe travels and a great trip!!!!

RMBH: Love your trip report so far! Sounds like you and Midori are making the most of your time thus far! Look forward to more. Happy early birthday wishes to you for tomorrow.
