Official January 2016!!!


We leave Saturday EARLY morning!

All packed for the trip! Only my computer to slide into its bag, and us to walk out the door!
I think...now to fret for the next day if I packed everything...

And if I packed stuff in our carry-on that should not be there...
And if I got all the chargers....
And if I got writing utensils for the homework packet DD8 got...
 
One week and a few hours!!! Think I'll start packing this weekend.... But I should probably finish putting away all the Christmas decorations first :scratchin Oh, and last Sunday we had friends over who are going in March & doing the KTTK tour, which we've done. So DH turns to me & asks which tour we're doing this time?? But when we booked Club Villain he said let's skip a tour :confused3 Maybe I should ask him if I should try booking one. I certainly don't mind lol!!
 
I have no idea what else I need to do to prepare for this trip. I have packed (and triple checked my checklist) my checked bag and carry on, all my documents are in a folder except my boarding pass, and I wrote down a bunch of notes in my trip notebook as well as a souvenir list. What does everyone else do to help pass the time when they're not at work? I'm just so excited and anxious that I don't know what to do with myself! :laughing:
 
only 2 full days left, leaving at first flight out Monday morning. Sort of packed last weekend, basically figured out what outfit each family member would wear each day and coordinated/organized which Princess dress DD5 will wear different days. Today started putting things in carry on vs checked bag. I keep putting more in my carry on than in check b/c I'm scared something will happen and we will lose our bag with the precious dresses or matching Mickey shirts for Chef Mickey's reservation on Tuesday morning! Our first time going and I can't wait!
 
I kept forgetting to post here, and now there's only 2 days left until we leave for our 5-day trip! I'm going with my little sisters and their friend, and this is going to be a big trip of firsts for us! We were just there in March for our first official WDW trip, but we were with their school group and didn't get to see all of the parks or tour the way we would have liked, and we were staying off property. I think this time around will feel a lot like a second first trip! This will also be my sisters' first time on an airplane/in an airport in all 18 years of their existence, so I'm super excited for them. I'm hoping they like flying as much as I do, though I suppose a 5:45 AM flight isn't the best introduction!

We haven't packed yet since the Orlando weather seems to be just as indecisive as Houston's, but we'll be getting around to that tonight. I should probably finish painting the Magic Bands too, ha!

Hope everyone else going has a safe journey! :boat:
 
2 days for us as well!!! We are beyond excited. Our DD4 woke up with her ear hurting so we took her right up but luckily it was just some wax pressing on her ear drum...All better now. DW took her to get their nails done with minnie designs. Im excited to not be getting up at the crack of dawn this trip taking an 11:50am flight instead. Looks like a bunch of us are heading down at the same time. Have fun everyone!!
 
Ok, so I put away the Christmas stuff today, now it's full on Disney mode!
We begin our drive down one week from today!!
 
7 days! we have 7 days!! :moped::smickey: I am starting to pack today, but it's kinda hard when you are trying to keep it a secret from your kids:scared:
 
Anyone else staying at AKV? We're there for 3 nights & it's our first time staying there. I had to convince DH to give it a try, he's stuck on the BW & since he's old he doesn't like change :ssst: So a few weeks ago we got the letter that they're doing a soft goods refurb during our stay. I really thought nothing of it until people over on the AKL thread on the Resorts board started saying it'll suck lol!!! We've never stayed at a resort during any kind of refurb and I really want him to love either AKV or the Poly (our last 2 nights) so we can take a break from BWV for awhile...... Anyone have experience at a resort during a soft goods refurb?
