OFFICIAL April 2012 DISers! 2 months and counting!

Oh NO.....if you are going to Disney with me, you are going to wear matching shirts. I tried real hard not to make anything to crazy looking and girly. DH's shirts do NOT have glitter on them. You tell them, they are they ones that are going to look silly b\c they DON"T have matching shirts. :thumbsup2


:lmao:
Have fun! again LOVE the shirts. I wish just saying that would work.
 
Decided last week to go to Disney! Will be there in 24 hours (need to change my signature!!!). Soooooo excited! :banana: Anyone hear anything about how insane the crowds are???

I have been checking wdwlines app daily - just b\c it's fun :lmao: and yes, it's crazy busy. But follow the typical rules - get there early and do the headliners, then take a break and go back in the evening. It seems that the nights are really bad at Magic Kingdom, but AK (open till 9pm last night) and HS really were not that bad the past couple of days.

Also check over on easywdw.com and look at the crowd calender - FOLLOW IT. Although it is better to get to each park early then to follow the calendar.

Good Luck and have fun.
(and watching the crowds these past couple of days, have made me decide that we will go next June - there is NO WAY I would go for Spring Break)
 
Wow, I'm so consumed with my own trip that I didn't realize how busy it was right now, but Duh! of course it is -- it's the week before Easter. Looks like next thursday it starts tapering down.....

Yep - starting next Thursday things seem to lower down. My DS17 didn't go with us last year and he is not going this year (he didn't want to :confused3) But he told me a couple of months ago that he DID want to go next year so we have been trying to decide between Spring Break or waiting until June - That is why I have been watching the wait times all week - And my mind is made up - JUNE!!!! Dh didn't want to wait the extra couple of months, but I will be happy to wait till June.

I understand if there is no other time then go at Spring Break, but we can wait, so we will. Now to decide where to stay. We love POP for he 3 of us, but with DS going I don't know if we will be comfortable - my kids are too old to sleep either with us or each other (DS is 17, DD is 10) DD said she would sleep on the floor at POP :lmao: However now with my new diagnoses of being gluten intolerant I am thinking we would enjoy a kitchen. DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

I can attest to that! On our last trip I made tie dye Mickey shirts for all of us. Mine was a thin, gauzy material and I somehow tore a big hole in it before we even left the hotel so I had to change. ALL DAY people, especially CMs were asking why I didn't match!!! ;)
 
OMG just had to post here -- I leave tomorrow !!!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO !!!!!
Hope everyone has a great Easter ... Hope everyone going soon has safe travels and I'll be looking for LIME GREEN! See you all the week of the 16th!!!!
 
I'm joining the party a little late, but we are going to Disney for the first time from the 15th-20th:cheer2:! I'm so excited. I've been wanting to go since I was six or seven so I can't believe it's almost here.

It's just me, my hubby and our six year old son going, and we are staying at the Beach Club. I wanted it to be a surprise, but I was too excited to keep it a secret so he has known about it since we booked our trip in January. The good thing with that is that when his behavior isn't what I'd like it to be I can threaten to not go to Disney, although I'm starting to suspect he knows I won't really act on it ;)

We are going to be there at the same time staying at the BC ( 17th thru 24th) and we have a 6 year old too.. Look for us at the pool..

We've been for spring break quite a few times now. (well our spring break b/c everyone's is different) We went the first week of June in 2007 and it was worse than any spring break! I couldn't believe it. The only reason we could think of is schools in FL and surrounding states were already out for summer.
 
We have a late flight coming in (9:30pm) and have always had early flights. (wasn't my choice but was either that or driving down:mad:)
What's MCO like at night? Is it less crowded? Should we have an easier and faster exit? I don't know why but I am so stressed about this :confused3
It's probably b/c we are staying somewhere new (off property) and we want to make a grocery stop on the way before they close.
 
Just got back from our WDW trip yesterday. Had a great time!

Will probably write up a trip report soon. How do others write them up? In Word and then cut and paste or what?
 
I'm 15 days away from being there! HOWEVER, I don't feel as excited as I know I should be. Why is that? It's our first trip. Just DH and I. No suitcases out yet, nothing organized for packing, NOTHING. What is wrong with me??? :confused3

A couple of things - 1) you must be VERY,VERY sick - go straight to the nearest ER and get checked out.:lmao: 2) Is this your first trip EVER???? or just first trip for you & DH??? If it's your first trip EVER - that would explain the lack of excitement. If it's your first "alone" trip - well go back to my first statement...but skip heading to the ER just go ahead and call EMS to come get you.

My dad and I leave tomorrow too...have a great time!

:lmao::lmao::lmao:!!! First trip EVER!!! I know, I seriously need to have my head examined. I was bouncing off the walls until I booked the trip back in February, but since then, it seems I have lost the excitement. I've had dreams about losing my travel documents, reservations and everything. It's freaking me out. :scared1:

I try watching the you tube videos, but just can't get that magical feeling :confused3 It's sad really. I'm hoping it will change soon. I am going to get the suitcases out tomorrow and maybe that will jump start my excitement. Here's to hoping, right?

Well, I fell better - If you have never been it is a little hard to get but so excited b\c you don't really understand what you are missing. I mean we have all seen videos and pictures and commercials but until you have been there.....

It's hard to miss a place you have never been too. You are going to love it, and make sure you take a moment just after you walk into Magic Kingdom and STOP, and just look at the Castle. THAT is the moment that you can really "feel" magical. I still tear up everytime I first walk in.

As my DH says - Disney is it's own world, and that is one of the reasons we go there. You can walk away from all of your cares and worries and just have fun and enjoy family.
 
i have those dreams before every trip. It always involves me being late for my flight and realizing I hadn't even packed yet! :scared1: I already had one of them last week and I expect to have a few more before I actually go.
 
2 more days until we tell the girls we are going to Disney! I can't wait ~ I know they will be so excited. I've got everything ready. We'll do an egg hunt and the eggs are numbered 1 -7, with in six days we are going to...and then I have a big box with number 8 on it when they open it they will see a big sign reading Disney World! In the box I have autograph books, Rapunzel nightgowns, new princess beach towels and a minnie shirt. I had to put the "in six days" first b/c I knew if they read we are going to disney world they would think we were leaving right then :rotfl:
