November 2012 Code Watch!!

[Smileybug]

Last year I had a 3 ring binder that I kept everything in. It was sorted by days, and each day had sheet protectors that contained our itinerary, ADR confirmation numbers, meal invitations, tip envelopes, MVMCP tickets, etc. I liked the binder and will do that again, but I didn't like having our daily itinerary on such a large piece of paper. I'm also going to make one for my DMIL. I think it will be a cute keepsake for her.

Soo... I have decided to make little 4 x 6 albums ($1 plastic albums from Walmart), and put all of our itinerary information in it. It will be small enough to fit in my cross body purse, but will have all the information we need. I've been working on Day 1, and here it is. I got the design from one of the DISigners on these boards. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The page next to it will contain all of our ADR numbers, and other information.

There is another DISigner with cute pages for planning... financial, travel, resort, etc. I love all of the wonderful DISigner stuff on this site.

This is exactly what I do. The binder has all paperwork and general info that I collect. Working on it also keeps me sane. But I carry the little 4x6 photobook that has also been decorated with all of our info in it. (ADR's, time schedules and such.)

Good morning ya'll.

Happymom,
That's really cute!! Now I'm thinking of starting a binder of my own!

 

[Happy Mom2]

We are planning a Thanksgiving trip for 2012 as well. We are going to go Nov 16-24th. Can't wait!!!

Welcome!!! Mommyof3 will add you to the front page. When you know where you're staying post that also.

Great minds think alike!!

Happymom,

Do it!! They are so much fun to make! I use the DISigns on this board, and use Photoshop to edit and add our information.

I'm also going to do a 4 x 6 one for each of my kids, but leave out some of the details and just write "SURPRISE!" so they will have something to look at too. I'll include it in their travel totes with lots of goodies - we have an 11 hour drive.

Hi

I am new to this thread.

In just 365 days we will be heading to WDW!!!

We'll be stay at AKV from Nov. 6-15. It will be our 4th November trip. We love WDW in November!

Someone asked in an earlier post about savings timeline -
December 2011 - 1/2 DVC rental
April - August - 1 WDW hopper ticket e/o month
September - 1/2 DVC rental
October - pay DDP
Disney gift cards from son's scrip program at school throughout the year - spending money, Wild Africa Trek, etc...

This way costs are scattered throughout the year. Sometimes I might be able to do 2 things at once, depends on the rest of life!

Happy planning!

Hi!! We like visiting WDW during the holiday season. Great decor and holiday magic! But, it does get cold on certain days. We had to don our gloves and jackets on some days! But we did see some people swimming in the pools on warmer days. I think a safe bet for you will be to go in the early fall. It's still warm so swimming is very possible. And the the crazy summer crowd would have gone back home, which would probably be the best part.

Good luck with your planning! I hope your dh does indeed agree to a trip for you guys next year!

Ok so last week I said I had a UTI well it didnt get any better so back to express care I went yesterday and the dr said I wasnt getting any better so I got yet another antibiotic. I had to be home by 230 to pick our neighbor up for a bday party we were going to, on the way home some lady rear ended me in my truck! Yes the same truck that just got painted and has to be painted yet again! UGH!!!! So last night our neighbors GF started a fight with the neighbor apparently involving me! (lets back up to 2 weeks ago when she txt me to come outside to tell me that she and her bf dont want my DH over there because he is soooo horrible) and whay, the neighbor didnt say that and the gf is saying its all my fault. I have no reason to talk to these ppl what so ever. I dont like her. BUT wth drag me into her web of lies??? and to top it off, she lied to him about everything that was said... I do not understand some ppl. They feed off od DRAMA!!!! I just wanna be happy in my little house, with a fixed truck and no UTI, dreaming about how I have Disney in 25 days and I cant do that Ok so enough rambling...I have new ppl to add

Hope I and everyone else has a great day!!!!!

mommyof3princess27,
Hi and good morning to you. I live at the other end of the world and was about to get ready for bed when I came across your latest post. Had to reply and send some love your way. I'm so sorry you had such a stressful weekend. Firstly, I do hope you get to feeling better real soon. Those UTIs are not fun. I normally have to drink cranberry juice by the gallons when it happens to me. I find that it works well together with the meds. Do take care!

As for your neighbours... Well, some people thrive on drama and chaos. It does sound like your neighbours might fall into that category. I'd ignore them and keep to myself for now. Given some time, perhaps eveything will blow over. In any case, be good to yourself and concentrate on getting better! Think of things that make you happy. Like Disney! Dis hugs to you!

UTI's suck more than almost anything. I hope you feel better soon. I had them almost continually after my second child.

And I have ghetto neighbors too. It just makes you wonder sometimes how people can live that way...


As for me, I hit Target this morning to get cat food and found they had retro Disney planners in the dollar spot. I got a Mickey Mouse monthly planner (big one, like 8X11) and a small Mickey and Minnie pocket planner. I figure I can keep one in my purse and one with the other planning supplies. Hopefully I can put payment reminders in there so we can get the trip paid off easily. Anywho, they also have Princesses magnetic dry erase boards so I got one for our resort door. Yay! I also found the cutest Disney Princess barrette tree on Etsy that I want to pick up a tree for. I figure it's a cute window decoration AND way to store bows while we are there. With two girls, we have a lot of bows...

Saying goodbye to my new-found November friends, as my husband says that November is really not a good time for him to be away from work. Now, we're either looking at hot June or taking our 8th grader (or will be) out of school. DH thinks we should take him out of school the week before Christmas break next year, but I just don't know the wisdom in taking older kids out of school. Tough decisions to be made...
I really did like my little November spot, and am very sorry to have to leave it! Hope all of your November trips turn out fantastic!!

That is awesome about the monthly planners!!

You know, anytime in Disney is the best time. But I know re-working a vacation can be a pain. Good luck with getting just what you want.

Ok which week gives us the best chance at a discount, do you think? Our dates are flexible as long as its after October 20th. Is anyone else booking their dates praying they get a discount? I'm not sure we will be able to keep our trip if we don't get a discount!
