[Tinkermom76]

Love the update!! How nice of you to get all of those gifts for your family LOVE your Mickey luggage and your scarf. Awesome

I believe you meant to post this on exwdwcm's PTR

 

[Tinkermom76]

So I decided today was a good day to take a look at my "Disney drawer" and see what I have in there and what I will still need. I have some great stuff in that drawer so I thought I would share with you

This is my folder that I will keep all my important papers in so I know where everything is

Last year when I first started planning my trip it was gonna be in Jan and with my mom, brother and so so we were gonna get 2 rooms which meant I needed lots of mousekeeping envelopes. Since only the girla and I went I have left over to use this year

of course I have the much needed shoe rack to hang on the bathroom door

this is my tube of glow sticks, pens, lanyards, note pad to keep track of stuff for my TR and the kids safety tats I got last year

Necessary toiletries

Rain Ponchos

I found this cool thing at the dollar store.. I figure I can hang it on the shower rod and clip our bathing suits and stuff from it.. I actually bought it for Great Wolf Lodge but it will work for Disney too!!!

Here is Emma wearing my Christmas light necklace.. love this thing

Much needed scale so my luggage doesn't go over weight... southwest lets me have 2 bags each so I'm packing extra bags!!!

Also got this at the dollar store and it has suction cups so we can put it on the shower wall and put all our stuff in it

And of course these are Eryka's autograph books from last year, there is still a few pages in the 2nd one so we will bring hers and Emma's that aren't finished and they can get autographs from characters we dont have yet (I made a list)
Emma has the Tink books

Now I just have to figure out what we still need then I'm good. Gotta make the packing list soon!!!

The best especially since it was up in the air a few times if we were even gonna get to go this year

The Purex completes are a great idea!! I have to see if they sell that round clip thing at my local dollar store! Love it!! I doubt I left a lot of time for swimming, but you neve know, LOL.

I love the Purex completes!! I even use them at home with the adult clothes. I recently got a bunch of coupons and got the refill packs for $1.97 for 24 loads at Walmart! I was a happy gal!!! Needless to say I have tons now! Its cheaper than buy the detergent and fabric softener seperate at that price! But then again, I am a HUGE coupon shopper! I have cut the grocery bill in 1/2 since I started.

The round clip is neat... I was so happy when I found it!! I am really hoping we get in the pool quite a bit, the girls love it!

I love them, they just started to sell them in Canada not too long ago and I was extremely happy when I found them!!!

Aaaaaah! Where did you find them? I've been looking for those things since I saw them here on the DIS! They're perfect!

You're folder looks like mine aren't they great? I actually found a lime green one and had to buy it.

I really want to get one of those shoe holder things too. Two actually... one will actually hold shoes. I hate how they pile up at the doors.

Your mousekeeping envelopes are so cool, love the glitter glue.

Rain ponchos -- can't believe those weren't already on my list and I love that Christmas necklace!

Saw them at Dollarama the other day but I got mine a Zellers

Thanks I'm not very creative but I am better with glue and stickers than I am electronically

Rain ponchos -- can't believe those weren't already on my list and I love that Christmas necklace!

I forgot them last year and paid $22 for 3 at MK for me and the girls

I can't remember where I got the necklace but I will be looking again this year... probably the dollar store

 

[Tinkermom76]

I wanted to get an update done today but I was at the school helping get everything ready for fall fundraising and just got home and now I have to start dinner

I really want to say I will post an update tonight but since Dancing with the Stars is on I'm not going to make any promises

Oh ya....


45 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

I see a trip to Zellers in my very near future.

Woot to 45 days!!!!!

The lime green folder I got was a chance sighting at Walmart. It's smaller so I use it for our passports, birth certificates and health cards. Great for border crossing. I thought I had a picture of it but I can't find it.

The bigger one I have looks like yours and we use it for park maps and Times Guides and pocket itineraries, stuff like that. The front holder thingies are great for holding the KTTW cards too.

I never thought of putting the KTTW cards there, but I don't usually bring it to the park, just the paper with my must dos and my reservation #'s... everything else stays at the hotel

Do you fly out of Buffalo?

I bring this with me and we pull it out for stuff all the time. It's the perfect size to hold just about everything. Yes, we fly out of Buffalo - way cheaper then Pearson and, unfortunately the Hamilton airport too. Man it'd be convenient to fly out of Hamilton.

Last year we flew out of Toronto but back to Hamilton... that airport is soooo easy

Getting an update ready now........................

Day 7 Wednesday December 15th

When we get up in the morning we will head over to the food court and get some breakfast.

After breakfast we are off to:

Last year we sepent a lot of time in Camp Mickey Minnie so this year we aren’t going that way. I wanna run and grab fastpasses for EE for Eryka and me and then we can head over to the safari for all of us to ride

We have never seen the Nemo musical so I want to check the time for that then make sure we get to it.

We want to walk the trail and see the beautiful animals

We want to make sure we see the parade at 3:45. There is EMH this night till 9pm so we should have time to Head to Rafiki’s Planet Watch (Emma will love this) then spend some time in Dino land (no I am NOT going on Dinosaur, I love Eryka but maybe she can ride that some other time by herself)
If there is time we can head over to Lion King (mom has not seen it) and if the characters are out maybe get a pic or 2

We missed Santa Goofy last year so that would be the first one to do

This is my fav AK pic from last year

Rafiki made Emma hold baby Simba like that

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Ah Baby Simba.... what a cute picture. I can't wait to explore this park without melting into the sidewalk. :scared

No Dinosaur?? Aww, how come?

I always make fun of Emma for being a scardy cat but I am more than happy to sit on the sidelines with her... not so much scared cause I loved rollercoasters when I was younger but now I'm old and they don't really agree with me. I have my teenager to take her on the rides at Canada's Wonderland and at Disney I will have to take her on some but I can't go on them all

We have every year but this summer we only went twice and the lines are so darn long... Disney has spoiled me I LOVE Fastpasses!!!!

Why aren't you going to Disney next year? We are since Eryka turns 9 and it will be the last time she goes for kid price.. lol
