I'm beyond excited now. I just found out my 2 almost 3 yr old nephew is going to get to join me. I will have 2 of my nephews with me, both 2 1/2 wow. Am I crazy? lol
What is the lates you can add someone to your resort ressie? He will be 3 the first of June, do I need to bring anything since he wont be able to take advantage of the birthday deal? He gets in free and eats with us free since he is 2 at the beginning of our vacation. But he is already going around saying I'm 3 and he isnt just yet.

I have one for all 8 days for all 6 of us. Wow, dont forget you need to print the disigns and let them sit for 24 hrs. I was in the middle of reading yours still. Does it talk about this up coming trip? I had it still on my screen and someone logged me off my screen


Hi Jen, yes, my pre-trip/trip/pre-trip report does talk about the trip we are about to take.......it's just a jumbled mixed up mess!

I am on hold now tring to change a few of our adrs. After reading SEVERAL reviews about ohana and a friend of mine telling me that is her family's favorite resturant I just have to book there. I sure there is. I will update and let you all know how it goes.

Let me know how that goes!
We tried to get something on the monorail for our trip June 4-7 and couldn't...of course, we were looking for character meals but we tried ohana too and were unsuccessful

[I started at 7am this morning and it went straight threw. I was on hold for about 5 mins max. I had a very nice and helpful lady on the phone. I am needing to add my nephew to all of my ressies which will take us from a party of 6 to a party of 7. You wouldn't think it would be that big of a deal. Yeah right! We had to go threw each and every ressie to try and add just the one person, a 2 year old at that. Well after an hr and 30 mins I was only able to change 1 of 6 breakfast, 3 of 4 lunches and 2 of 6 dinners. I guess it really isnt that bad when you really think about it.
I then spoke to my sister around 10 this morning and she informed me she wanted to eat with us at all the meals except the day she is going to her dads in Tampa. Well then I get back on the phone at 12pm and was on the phone for 1 hr and 18 mins. I was able to add no breakfast, 3 lunch tables, and change 2 dinners to a party of 9. Well I then sent her a text and email with the info in it and let her know what cindy's cost and that I am still tring on that one, and she informed me that she did not want to pay those prices.
So I had to call back a 3rd time, yes I said a 3rd time. I had to cx the 3 lunch ressies. She is still wanting to go to crt with us. She is willing to pay the 40 bucks at crt, but not willing to pay 15 to 20 bucks at other resturants. Did I say I was ready to kill her. Can you feel the love. I guess I am going to just keep calling wdw every day until I get what I need. I really really need crt, chef mickeys, and princess story book.
I just can't wait until I am in the world and enjoying all the food. yum Only 6 more days until we leave for orlando and the kids still dont know. Wow it has been so hard keeping that a secret. I am not good at secrets.

 

[jenharring]

Only 5 days till we leave for disney!!
I am just about packed. The only thing I have left are the last minute items to add like daily medicine and that. I am still trying to add 1 to the rest of our adrs. I was able to change the coral reef to a party of 7 . One more down and 7 more to go. But I have a plan if all else falls. Thanks fo a few fellow dissers.

Oh my I am busting with excitment! I am soo full of energy and I worked all night and I have been up siince 1pm yesterday. My coworker says I have lost it. I have been bit by the disney bug and I havent been since 1998 imagine how I will be when I get there. I will be like a kid in a candy store. I am backed and ready to go. My daughter and I did go to walmart and get the last few little things we needed so we could pack them like another memory card for my digital camera and bottle liners for the baby.
I am going to take my unofficial guide to disney and my new book I got yesterday at walmart "Twilight" to the pool and just sun bath and swim all day.

Wow only 3 more days till we leave for the mouse's house!! This time next week we will be at the star wars event. My husband and son are watching star wars now. I am finishing up my jewelry that I am making to wear. I wanted some to match all of my new shirts that I made. Here are a few pics of all the luggage and things we are brining, minus the stroller. Which is a double jogging stoller. We had to have a stoller we new would fit my son. This one holds up to 75lbs in each seat. He onlly weights 58lbs right now and so I am hoping he will still be able to fit it next year.

Wow, still tring to figure out how I'm going to get it all in the van.

our new thule to go on top to the van. This will help a lot.

can't forget my new bag I got for disney!!

The picture frame you see in the 2nd picture is for our family pictures we had taken back at thanksgiving with mama and all the family. I have one that is simular, but bigger for our disney pictures. I bought it 2 years ago when we were planning trip and it had to be changed to the next year do to my mama coming into town and then changed again to this year to do me being pregnant with our little man.

 

[jenharring]

Wow hard to believe we will be leaving TODAY! I am soo excited. I am working tonight, Tuesday, well it is now Wednesday morning. We leave in no later than 7 1/2 hrs. As soon as I get off work I am going home and we will pack the van and head out. My husband told the kids when he picked them up that they were not going to school on Wednesday, the next day and all my daughter had to say was, thanks mom I didnt get a chance to say good bye. So sweet uh.
We should be in Orlando by 4pm. We plan to go to the disney outlet and get the kids mickey and minnie hats. I am also going to try and find my neice and nephews something. We will then go and check into our hotel off site for the one night. I promised my daughter we would eat pizza and swim for a while and off to bed for the big day at disney.
We are meeting another disser at 745 am to pick up a fridge. I am so not a morning person. I guess I'll have to be while at disney with my kids, which are. Hope to post live updates while at disney.

Hey that's the only way to deal with my Disney Departure Depression...lol I hope you have lots of fun and enjoy the magic thru your children's eyes...there's nothing like it! Looking forward to any live reports you post so I can relive the magic with you!
