Quick question for everyone: Do you think the Frozen events at DHS will severely impact late August crowds?
I use TouringPlans to track the crowds for my dates and they have changed several of the crowd levels for the last week in August and I was wondering how much of an impact this will have on the usually low late August crowds?
Thanks!

I seriously cannot wait for my MagicBands to show up! It's so exciting waiting for Mickey Mail
I also have a countdown going on my phone! So excited.

Does anyone here use Twitter or Instagram during their trips? It would be awesome to "follow" some of you as you're at WDW in August!

I'll definitely be using them during our trip! My twitter handle is @wildvictorian and my instagram is @coloredimage (when not in Disney-mode, I still post a lot of Disney along with various nerdy and writer things). I'd love to get some new friends on there

Ah awesome! It might be cool to compile a list of Twitter/Instagram handles so we can all live vicariously through each other's trips!
Mine is @TracyAnne90 (both twitter and instagram)

How are you decorating yours? I'd love to see pictures!
I've seen some people selling decals on etsy and online and those look awesome. I'd love to see what you come up with!

We decorated our first set by putting clear top coat nail polish as the bottom layer. Then I used purple nail polish to create Mickey heads around the band. I then put glitter nail polish over the whole band and then finally put another layer of top coat over everything. I did something similar for mine but used different colors. My DH only wanted his center Mickey Head black so I used black nail polish for that one.

I think there will be higher then normal crowds at HS all through the summer because of the Frozen events, but I don't think it will severely affect HS and I sort of feel that there will be little to no effect on the other parks or at the resorts. I guess we'll see.

A little self-absorbed (sorry ), but I just purchased this purse to use in the parks. I think it's a good size and won't hold me up too much in line. Would be interested to hear anyone's feedback..

That's the same size and style as my Disney purse. It's the perfect size for my ipad mini. Hope you love it like I do.

That's good to hear! I found it online at kohls; I had a 20% and some kohls cash so I got it for free. Yeah, free's good! I think the brand is Donna Sharp.

The worst thing happened today. My step son broke his arm at his grandma's house. He fell off the pool ladder. We won't know the severity of it until tomorrow. He broke it in two places in the middle of his wrist and elbow. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. 28 days to go.

Oh no! I hope he's okay.

Oh no! I hope he's okay.

Thanks! We talked to him tonight and he seems in good spirits. He's 5 and a trooper. I think he will be ok to get on the rides he's 42" inches with a cast. He will be bummed if he can't swim at Aoa. I think his mom is going to try to get him a waterproof cast!

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry to hear this! Hope it's not as bad as it sounds!

Thanks. The X-ray showed a tiny break. We are praying if he needs a cast it's only for three weeks or so. We leave four weeks from today. *praying*

I am finally coming out of the first trimester fog and finally starting to feel better....my appetite is back now and ready for all of that yummy Disney food!!! (That's after I lost 7 pounds in the 1st trimester....)

Glad you are starting to feel better.

We'll hopefully they can give one of those waterproof ones that allow him to go in the pool!
