As our departure date is less than a week away I can barely contain my excitement 
. Im so overly prepared, in fact, that Ive run out of things to do to prepare for the trip. I finished packing earlier this week (suitcases are underweight to allow more than enough room for souvenirs), printed off all necessary paperwork for flights, check in, ADRs etc. All my planning spreadsheets have been edited several times that I am now very satisfied with my end results for our overall itinerary. Forever 21 and The Disney Outlet right near our home had a great selection of Ts and tanks that we are very much looking forward to wearing while were there.
We only booked this trip when we were about 40 something days from departure, so everything thus far in terms of planning has been very go, go, go!!!!
Our Travel Party Includes:
Myself 31 (but really a 10 year old at heart
)
DH 28 (turning 29 while were there
)
My DM 61 (first trip to the world since 2000
)
Well be spending 8 days, 9 nights at Pop Century in a preferred room hopefully in either building 1, 3 or 10 (did online check in this time around so well see if we get our requests honoured). We have a 5 day hopper and will be spending 2 days at US/IOA with express pass on the 1st day and 2 park entry on both (very much looking forward to experiencing the WWoHP
). We will be on the QSDP, as we decided that the plan up from here would be too much food. Plus when we priced what we would be spending on the ADRs we booked in relation to upgrading to the deluxe dining plan there was about a $400 difference, no need to pay the extra $400 for food if were not going to eat it!!
Well be meeting up with my DMs youngest brother, his wife and their son (12) who will be flying in from the lovely islands of Trinidad & Tobago. Our trips are criss-crossing and our first few days will be their last few days (with better planning we could have all been there the same time, but dont even get me started on that
). Luckily they will also be at Pop, but dont have hopper tickets so we havent figured out exactly how much time well be able to spend with one another.
We have ADRs for the following:
-50s Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios (very much looking forward to my first PB&J Milkshake)
-BOMA (Mom is really looking forward to her first visit here)
-Kona Cafe (yummm Lapu Lapu!)
-Whispering Canyon Cafe for our last dinner.
We will also be dining on one of our Universal nights at Latin Quarter on their City Walk.
So, I guess thats all I have to say on this for now. Will be spending my last 6 days before we go on MB and around the web looking for any last minute tidbits that will help me out while were there. Cant wait to get to WDW to have the time of our lives and then to return home to re-live the trip as I write my TR!
This is my journal (made from a notebook I got at the dollarstore and then added stickers to) Inside are all conf#'s for ADR's, park schedules and (below) I can keep track of our dining credits.
These are the window decorations we made in celebration of DH's birthday (plus its fun!!
) Going to hand using window suction cups so we don't damage walls or paint.

Supposed to be rain here tomorrow morning at departure time, not exactly thunderstorms, but I don't think its going to be pretty.
