I do believe we have Aldi around here, but I've never been to one. Thanks!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Just had to stop in and do a little 10 day dance!!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Love the 10 day countdown. If you are at 10 days it means I am close too! Ohhhhh I cant wait!

Not long now!! Woo-Hoo!!

I've already stolen your countdown chain with Disney trivia. I hope it is OK to steal your 10 day ideas. I won't do all the same activities, but you have given me some great ideas.

Thank you so much!!

It's not stealing...it's sharing!!

Hmmm..strange. If I put several smileys in a row sometimes one of them will show up in the post as the words instead of the smiley. Must be a glitch....I'm sure it's not you!

Happy 10 days Missy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't the Mothership just beam us directly to our hotel rooms?


Well, my online check-in was pretty uneventful. How was yours?

 

[cjackearl]

10 Days?....We should be dancin', yea!!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Now he's dancing!! (But I know what you mean about the smileys showing up as words sometimes... I think it happens if you do a bunch in a row...)

By the way - I'm anxious to hear about your online check-in. I've read that there are boxes you can check off for requests - what are the boxes? I'm just wondering what choices they offer. We have a few requests that I've already put on our reservation - I'm not sure how it's all going to work out... Should I do online check in or not???

I'm pretty sure your requests stay in the system even if you do online check in. The "boxes" only allow you to request a crib, refrigerator, and I think something else??

As I told Missy - we requested building 16 or 18 and second floor. We got building 14 and second floor. I didn't ask to change it and ended up being very happy with the building we got (very close to everything). Doing online check in saved me quite a bit of time when we got there because the line was horrendously long and online check in has a separate line from everyone else.

Thanks! I think I'll do the online check-in and then call to confirm our requests. My primary concern is being near our family members who arrive later in the week. But I guess I can't do much about it since they are arriving after us.

Happy 10 days Missy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Single Digits Now!!! (Had to get rid of the dancers..too many images but thanks for bustin' a move!)

Can't the Mothership just beam us directly to our hotel rooms?

I was thinking of trying it the Mary Poppins way and going outside with my umbrella! I just want to GO!!

My online check-in was quick and painless!

10 Days?....We should be dancin', yea!!

I totally sang that when I read it! LOL!! Thanks for the dance!

I did it yesterday after consulting with Carissa. It was very easy and quick. I figure anything that can save me time once we get to the resort is a good thing. I believe that any requests you make concerning building choices are with your initial reservation..the only options you have online are a refrigerator, a pack and play, and a trundle bed. I'd try it if I were you....you can always make changes when you get there if needed. I figure you may have to do that anyway as requests are never guaranteed.

So helpful Carissa....thanks so much!!

Good choice! Saving time in line sounds so good to me!!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Can you believe I'm finally in SINGLE DIGITS!!?? I am starting to feel the pinch a little and worry about whether I can get everything done. I'm sure it will be fine, but I feel like I still have A LOT to do and now only 9 days to do it!

Oh well...it's still worth a dance!



Last night was the first of our "10 Days till Disney" Celebrations. We had Mickey Sundaes! They were so fun to make and especially fun to eat! They didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped because I don't own sundae glasses, but they were still cute and the boys enjoyed them. We were also babysitting for friends, so the little girl in the pics is theirs...she's a doll! Without further ado...here are the pics of our day 10 celebration!

Enjoying Mickey's Ear!

 

[cjackearl]

Single digits?! Wahoo!! Thanks for the great pictures. The face Isaiah is making in the first picture made me My 11 year old DD has made the exact same expression in several pics lately. We also get the "peace out" pose a lot. Ah, tweens.

 

[carissanboys]

Even without the glasses they came out great! Weren't they so tasty??

Love the toothless smile!!
