OFFICIAL April 2012 DISers! 2 months and counting!

[auprincess]

Is it crazy that I've started packing?
I've been working on my packing list, with help from the packing threads, for months. Today, I decided to make a list of the things that I need to buy. When I was looking at the list, I realized that there are a lot of things that I'll be packing, that I probably won't need to use between now and then. So, I've started my Disney box.

Not crazy at all ~ my Disney box has been full for about a month. I need to get another one

We are taking our first ever Disney World trip from the 16th-23rd, and staying at Pop Century. So excited!!! Waiting for that awesome package to come in the mail.

Our family will be there April1-8, staying offsite. I'm excited and nervous about crowds, the kids can't wait!

I just noticed that the Mets have a spring training game against the Braves at Wide World of Sports on April 2nd, so I got tickets!

So, I finally have our plan. That is, until I change it again....

4/21 - Arrival day; relax at resort Jiko ADR
4/22 - open; possible DTD day; maybe Sanna on the way out
4/23 - AK; no ADRs. Hop to MK after closing for Dessert Fireworks
4/24 - MK; CRT ADR
4/25 - day of rest. resort hop or DTD depending what we did on Sun
4/26 - Epcot; ADR Le Cellier
4/27 - DHS; ADR Sci-Fi
4/28 - Departure day; resort veg; maybe Sanna if we didn't do it on Sun

Thoughts? Also, what is going to be my best way to get from AK to MK? And how long will that take??

If our trip doesn't get cancelled (I asked a son yesterday if he would stay here for two weeks and dog sit, dd who lives next door would still have to be on duty during the days he is at work), I have ADRs at Le Cellier for lunch on the 26th. Our last ADR of our trip. Surprised you made ADR for Sci-Fi. We just walked in there on our last trip, it was empty. It quickly became a restaurant we would not return to again. Sadly, there isn't a very good selection of good dining at HS. We are trying 50s Prime Time on the 22nd for lunch, this will be new to us. Not sure it is a good idea as dh really does NOT like his veggies.

Have not been to Sci Fi but after seeing a pic someone on the DIS posted of how filthy the table was, will not be going. That image has stuck with me...

We'll be there the exact same days. We won't be at the same parks any of the days though.
We're doing DTD on Sunday, then MK, then Epcot, then AK, then Sea World, then Hollywood, and then back to MK.

61 days - I drank my coffee this morning out of my refillable mug from October. Made me feel a little closer to Disney.

I have a few more shirts to glitterize today - my glitter.

I need ideas - I thought about either one of 2 things for autograph books....

1) make a book for each park (knowing what characters are in each park, thank you allears.net)

2) making 1 book separated by parks and what characters.

I am thinking 2 will be better. I have downloaded all the pages, and organized them to take to the printer, who can also bind it.

What do you think? Or do I just scrap the whole thing, and buy autograph books. My child doesn't really care, but this is her friends first trip and I don't know what she will want to do.

It's so exciting hearing that some of the April DISers are getting their Mickey Mail! It makes our trip seem that much closer.

If you make an autograph book I would just do one and separate it by park. Would you really want to carry about 4 separate books?

This is making me a little nervous about picking Sci-Fi over 50's Prime Time. I just did cause I liked more choices on the menu at Sci-Fi.

 

[bobbigrl27]

I just called and switched to a Royal Room at POR. I can't wait to see pictures!

Only 48 days to go! No Mickey Mail yet though......

I vote for 1 book - less to keep track of and less to lose.

We didn't mind Sci Fi. The atmosphere was really neat our family thought and the food wasn't the BEST but the shake was great and the neat environment made it a wonderful experience for us anyway. However we are not huge food people - if food is that important maybe avoid it I guess but it is very neat to try out. DH and DD13 were sad that we aren't going back but we want to try others this time.

Charity - hope your mickeymail comes VERY soon!!!
