Hello to all,
I just decided to let you all know how glad I am to have found these boards, even though our trip is less than a month away.
I have utilized alot of your tips and was able to get early PS's at a few resort restaurants that I wanted to try.

This is my 4th trip. Stayed off site first time with my parents, stayed off site on my honeymoon, went in 1996 with DD and DS and stayed at the Fort Wilderness cabins. Never ate at Disney and we ran around like nuts (using the Unofficial Guide for touring.)

This trip was sort of last minute, and, yes, we're paying through the nose for our package, but my DD is so excited to be going back to WDW...my DS isn't coming along, hasn't come on vacation with us for several years now,so he's staying with grandparents and hanging out. My DD is 14 and can't wait...doesn't remember much of our first trip when she was 7 so she's been looking at the photos.

We're staying at the GF because my DH really liked how it looked when we were there before. The pictures are great and it's on the monorail.

So, you'll be proud of me. I think I'm getting the hang of this...why, you ask? Today I bought one of those plastic shoe holders for my bathroom toiletries and also three lime green bandannas for our luggage and rental car antenna! Those simple things have finally gotten me into the "Yeah, we're really going!" Disney spirit. Thanks you guys!:wave:

Oh yeah, I bought a Passporter too. I am a Virgo afterall!;)
 
Welcome to the DIS::MickeyMo

Hope you find lots of helpful info here and if you don't find it, never be afraid to ask:tongue:
 
We didn't even have a computer in '96 when we last went. I am amazed at the plethora of Disney sites that are available. So much more comprehensive to get the latest news on rides, park hours, weather, etc. as opposed to one single guidebook.

As you can see, I am now playing around with clipart...my DH keeps saying, "I hope you're getting all the plans finalized." Oh, sure honey, no probs...Heehee...;)
 

May I ask about the tips on the bandana? and the car rental antena? I appreciate your tips on the above.
 
I saw somewhere in my research that if you tie a cheap bandanna around the handle of your checked baggage, you will be able to find it easier on the baggage carousel at the airport.

Same thing with the bandanna tied around the car antenna...so you can find it amongst the thousands of similar colored rental cars in the parking lots.

Of course I saw today that the DISshop online sells lime green DIS luggage tags and a cute lime green DIS styrofoam antenna ball that serve the same purposes! ::yes::
 
Oh my gosh. I just browsed the shop online and tomorrow I will buy some luggage tags !! and the antena ball too!
Dare I buy a t-shirt! Lime green. yikes! heee:yo-yo: :bounce: :Pinkbounc :wave2: :goodvibes
