Mickey Mouse here we come.The Porters PTR-TR *DAY 5 in progress pg 27*

[bentleygirl22]

Here's some pics of our little travel things The ponchos and fans came from Dollar Tree and everything else came from Target! These things are sooo cute because they are so small!

All the goods..

I'll break down what we have ...

Ponchos

Deodorants, soaps and bodywashes..

Toothpaste and mouthwash

Lotions and powder

Wipes and sanitizers...all for hands

FANS!!!

First aid kit (last vacations last year to Wis. Dells...*I* needed this!!I fell )

Laundry needs...just in case.

I can't go anywhere without this..

Everything looks great ..
another hint ..
you may want to get a pack of two Ponchos for each person in your family.. just in case one rips... because kids can be really hard on Ponchos, and it never hurts to have a back up for each person.. its cheaper to buy them for a $1 each then to have to buy a back up at disney for $15-$20 each.. know what i mean ??

Your report is going great... can't wait to read more ...

More Pics! These pics are what we will be wearing to the airport and our first day Do you think people will have to ask us where we're going? LOL

First up, our carry on luggage. This was psoted in budget board when I first joined and I HAD to get it. Total with shipping was like $29 I think. Was really inexpensive!

What dh and DJ will be wearing ( with blue jean shorts)

What the girls will be wearing ( with blue jean capri's)

My dress

Kendyl's shirt ( with blue jean shorts)

Disney shades for the younger 4 ( DJ too cool for them now )

And I cheated SHHHHHH! The Disney Store had Keychains on clearance for $1.99 each...original price $12.99. They are genuine leather. I got about 20 of them for dh and I to give to coworkers as "souveniers". We're buying real souvies at Disney for family and friends, but here's our cheaters versions for coworkers. SHHHHHHHHHH

They are too cute!

I hope we get cool buttons, too I read somewhere that you can get buttons telling people it's your firsttime there. I really hope I find where they are. I want everyone to know why I'm looking like such a kid in a candy store and why I may spontaneously burst into tears of joy

You can get your family 1st time at disney buttons at the resort front desk.. or at Guest Relations. each park as its own Guest Relations... so you will not have any problem getting a 1st time button...

I have been to disney so many times and i still act like a kid in a candy store and I always spontaneously burst into tears of joy when my kids get magical moments ... so don't worry about it your at disney enjoy the magic ..

If you are easily nauseated you may want to skip this one. Actually all you do is go and sit in this room, you never move (yet you are strapped in like you will???), and there is a big stitch in a cage in the middle of the room and he escapes and creates havoc with the electricity and such. Well at one point somewhere from the seats this awful smelling stuff (smoke) comes out.. and it smells, I could smell it for an hour after we got out of there. After that my 5 yr old DD at the time, would cry if we even got near the ride, she HATED it, and I sure didnt like it!! I was really dissappointed, and actually havent heard anyone say that they like it??? Is there anyone out there that does??? Seems like the imagineers could come up with something much better to use that space.

OH NOOOOOO! Well that's one I will be sitting out! So disappointing, but I rather sit it out than get sick and ruin the day for everyone else.

Thank you so much for being honest about that!

I agree...the Stitch "ride" is gross! We've done it 2x's, once by ourselves, and once with friends. That's the only reason that we did it the second time It may be ok for the big kids and the DH, Yeah...let's send the DH into the stinky ride with the kids

Ok, DeVine is at Animal Kingdom, sometimes, and she's kinda hard to find. http://allears.net/tp/ak/ak_art1.htm More for AK http://allears.net/ae/issue324.htm

There are at least 2 talking trash cans/recycling bins. The first at Conservation Station at Animal Kingdom (take the train over), the second is at Magic Kingdom in the Future World area. The fun thing for the adults to do is try to figure out the person that is doing the talking for the can!

Mary Poppins umbrella is at DHS. Look around once you get to the area in front of Lights, Motors, Action, or just ask one of the castmembers, I'm sure they'll help you find it. Here are some others at DHS http://allears.net/tp/mgm/issue085.htm

Fun at EPCOT http://allears.net/tp/ep/issue099.htm

Here are some little pieces of magic at Magic Kingdom http://allears.net/tp/mk/issue140.htm

Working on research for the "what order to ride"!

Yep, Joseph and the kids are definately still on for that ride, although I did let him and DJ red the review from you guys, they are still pumped, so let's see how they feel AFTER the "ride"

I am going to look at all the links and take notes! Thank you Lis! You have been my DISangel!

Ok a new hint
when you get to epcot get your soarin fast pass as soon as your get there because the line will get long .. then go to test track..... and come back to soaring

The smell that I remember must have been a rancid chili hot dog. but thats just my opinion, but even without the smell, it was a complete waste of time in my opinion. But then like I said my 5 year old hated it and cried if we even went near it, so we couldnt have tried it again if we had wanted to.

I agree with her on this, you HAVE to do Soarin!! We love this ride. Last year DD was tall enough and she loved it also! she cant wait to go flying again.

Your family is going to love Soarin'. It's fantastic!

That's adorable Amanda!!!! I'm going to have to track you down before I head out for my next trip.

Exactly right on the fastpasses for Soarin'! Maybe send 1 person with all the tickets to get the fastpasses, while the rest of ya get in line for Test Track.

We will see. I dn't know if I will do it though. If it's remotely stinky I will be sick. I am VERRRRRRRY easily nauseated. Example....NO ONE in this house can talk to me with morning breath....you must brush your teeth first. Otherwise nauseas mommy/wife I will be
