[maidmarion]

Yea for first steps and trips fast approaching!

How do y'all make these CM friends? I need some CM friends to hook me up with all the previews!

Thanx to all my "WL buds" for wishing me a happy 46th!!! I ESPECIALLY loved the Hugh pix (and H2 !)....woohoo, Fred, that is SOOOOOO cool; you are down to 2 days!! Bet yer doin' the HAPPY DANCE!!

 

[AspiringCindy]

Eh Hem! Did anyone notice my post count? Actually, maybe that is not such a good thing...THE FOUR DIGITS! It just means I like to talk(write alot) and spend way too much time on the disboards. OOps! Sorry Kim! I just looked over at yours!

I just picked up one CD of WL photos. If anyone would like for me to e-mail them the pics to post on a site, LMK.
Some pics are the same that I sure others have, like looking up from the falls to WL.
But I also have some nice photos of the views from the room, the boats, beach area, geyser going off and sedate, the sink area, table/chairs, view as you walk in the room.

Fred,

I haven't posted much since my intial posts a few weeks ago, however, just wanted to wish you a great trip. I look forward to reading about your experiences when you get back. I can't wait till I'm down to single digits also

Posted this in the Disney for Families forum and didn't get much of a response. Maybe a couple of teachers (right?) can help us out...

Learning: What question should we ask WS CMs?

I have been trying to figure out how to get the most out of the World Showcase for my two DS 6 and 7.

I thought maybe we could ask a CM in each country (i.e. at the Kidcot stations) a question - the same question for each country - to compare the differences. Anyone have any GREAT ideas for a question that would have different and terrific responses from each of the countries?

Favorite food, holiday, ...

Thanks for your help!

Mary

PS - FRED - you're not waiting til you get back before posting, right? We're going to get daily updates with PICTURES!?! right?

How about..."What do you think is the best part of World Showcase?" or "If you had 3 favorite things about World Showcase, what would they be?" or "What makes your country so much different than the other countries here in World Showcase?"

Hope those help???

Wow! Tough crowd.
I'll see what I can do. Can't promise EVERY night but hopefully every other night. Pictures will come as well. I can't wait. I feel like I am taking you all on vacation with us.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE DOWN TO 2 DAYS ALMOST!

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!

Could someone fill me in on packing clothes in ziploc bags? I know there has to be some great reason for this. I assume your using really big ziploc bags? TIA!!!

 

[MLbooks]

Loubelou -

A bunch of people on the boards swear by 2-gallon ziploc bags. Tip I read - pack each day's outfit (undies, shirt, shorts, socks) in a ziploc (for kids and DH), so no questions about "what goes with these shorts? etc - and results in quick and easy morning routine. I've also read they are a good idea for packing things in when on Kali Rapids, etc. (or for storing the camcorder in a locker - if the items in above locker are wet...)

They didn't have any in Walmart the other day... Maybe Corky will check in before her trip to let us know where she got them...

Loubelou - getting excited??? We are! Less than 2 weeks - see you there!!

[MLbooks]

Fred -

thanks for your ideas. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Have a GREAT trip!!

Mary

My DH is a Giants fan, too!

 

[FloridaCat]

You are too kind, but I sure do hope we can met at some future trip.
I wish a hundred schedules could be worked out and we could book the entire Lodge for WL VETS. LOL
I also hope the weather holds for you as it is great right now.

Don't soak up all the magic, save some for the Cat.

I found this on the Disney Tips board, you should be able to find your answer here along with other ideas. I hope this works

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I have been having a hard time signing into the boards....anybody else??

I got my 21/2 gal ziplocks at Target.......they seem to all have them. I can tell you that I think it could be one of the best travel tips I have ever received......they really do help save space, and it is a no brainer that they will save time.....I can't wait to find out if they save wrinkles as well....I believe that we will be taking one less med suitcase due to using them.....we'll see how crazy DH thinks I am then~~

We are just about ready to go....little more laundry and packing and some last minute house cleaning and we are ready to fly....can't wait!!

FC.......you can bet I will leave some magic for you!! I hope you have a great time!!

Fred,

I am so happy for you, the time is here.

Have a great trip. Make magic for that beautiful family of yours. Tons of pixie dust coming your way. Just believe.

...have a WONDERFUL, SAFE, and MEMORABLE time at WDW....we'll be with ya in SPIRIT!! (I wish I was there right now for my 20th anniv !)

some more CM ???s:
1) What is one thing a visitor to your country should not miss seeing?
2) What is your favorite thing about the U.S.? Least favorite?
3) Does WDW capture the true "spirit" of your country at WS? If not, what would you change?

 

[Ratpack]

Fred, what is the email to send my WL pics to? Is it listed on the webpage?
