I have moved over! 11 Days to go and I have barely started getting things ready. This trip seems so different than our past trips since we are hitting the water parks for the first time. The crowd levels at the water parks have me a little worried Anyone have any great advice on what time we should go, where we should sit, or our how our general approach to the day should be?? Will we be ok to leave our bag and towels out or does that stuff need to be put in a locker?

Counting down the days

Tomorrow...Tomorrow...I love ya...tomorrow... it's only a daaaaaayyyyyy awaaaaaayyyy!






I will probably check in once more today but by this time tomorrow - about 10am - I will be landing in Orlando!!!
Everyone have a wonderful and safe trip!!! See you in 2 weeks!

We've always left our stuff out, but I guess that's risky because anyone could take your stuff. I try to bring no cash, and just my room key, plus towel, sunblock. So basically nothing worth more than the cost of the locker. I'd get to the water parks early, they often close in the summer by 1 ish. If you want to do one, I'd be there by 11 am at the latest.

We went on a day they had EMH - we got on a bus at 7am and were at TL before EMH started. My kids were able to hit all the major slides before the park even opened at the regular time of 9am. I definately recommend getting there early. The waterparks can be confusing so pick a spot with an easy landmark so everyone can find it.

I keep debating whether to change a couple of my reservations. I was reading last night at barnes and noble and thought perhaps I should have picked Jiko instead of Cali grill as our one NICE dinner. Or perhaps I should have picked Cape May Cafe instead of Biergarden for our Epcot night. Online ADRs are killing me, because I can switch at will

Unless you can't get the ADR you want, which is what I'm running into. I've decided I really want an ADR at T-Rex, but absolutely none are available for dinner during the entire week we're there.

 

[MountNittany]

Why don't I remember that building??

For some reason, I can't either. Does anyone know what that is?

Have a great trip everyone!

Okay, I am going to try to download the pic I took of us on the 4th, waving to all our July buddies just to post.



So I could only figure out how to download a HUGE picture or a clickable thumbnail. Rather than everyone, I wanted to give you a small one with the option of scaring yourself. Beware!

Yay There you are. Thanks for posting you beautiful picture - What do you mean beware -. I'll be keeping an eye out for you and amyzoo since I know we'll all be there together. Also txmom2princess who used to post on this thread will be there with us. she actually lives in the same small little tinie tiny town as me. - What are the odds?

Wow! I can't believe that I am only 6 days away!

I sort of jealous of all you that have had Disney dreams. I still haven't had one yet. Maybe one will come tonight.

Okay - my middle child, DD9 (will turn 10 while at WDW), came to me today and asked if I had washed any of her clothes. I told her that she should have plenty of clean clothes in her drawers. She said that there was nothing in there, none that matched. Puzzled, I went and checked her dresser and sure enough she was right. What happened? Well, for the past two weeks, I have been sneaking in an outfit or two of the kids' clothes into their suitcases that I have in our bedroom. Since our trip is a secret (it's been very hard keeping this secret ), she had no idea where all of her clothes were. I had to pull an outfit out of her suitcase, with the door closed of course, so that she would have something to wear! I guess you can say that maybe I got a little carried away with packing!

That is so funny. I'm proud of you for being able to keep it a secret. When I was researching Disney I was trying to keep it a secret and every time I got on the computer one of the kids popped into the room so that went out the door fast.

I'm also stressing about the online check-in.

Don't think I'll do it.

It was so simple - don't stress - just do it. You can always call to check that it went through

Okay a big YIPEE to those of you leaving tomorrow. Have a great trip.

And Grandma4ever. I too and up for adoption all I require is an occasional hug.

 

[figmentfan0724]

we are leaving in 16 days, and i have lots to do. I still have mounds of laundry, which I have started today and cleaning. I also like to have my house immaculate before i go on vacation so I have nothing to do in my post disney depression. I have a long weekend this weekend from work so I should be able to get a lot done! I can't wait to leave!

 

[PopArtGal]

Hey guys, I started a thread about the online check-in if you wanna check it out.

I've completely lost it. I went and bought Huggies diapers for the DS1 for our trip because they have the mouse on them. I usually go for a cheaper brand. Like Mickey will care that the baby has disney on his butt!

Pace on the other hand, thinks it's great and will not let me put pants on him. He keeps pointing and saying "mowwwwse"!

SO cute! Disney character underwear were a huge help when I was potty training my older DD -- her favorite Disney movies were Lion King and Little Mermaid and so I bought her underwear with Lion King and Little Mermaid characters -- it made potty training really easy because she didn't want to have an accident on her favorite characters. LOL Hey -- whatever works!

For some reason, I can't either. Does anyone know what that is?

It looks like somewhere in DHS on the Streets of America. I rarely walk back there.

So did you do the online check in Come on don't be a scaredy cat

 

[buffettgirl]

I didn't do online for one reason. We're arriving VERY early tomorrow and I have also requested adjoining rooms with my parents - however - I'd rather have a room available at check in vs an adjoining room if that were possible rather than waiting till 3pm for a room. So I figure it was easier to just tell the check in this when we arrive.. maybe...

 

[meanmom121]

You may be right but on online check in they left you put in what time you plan on checking in - I assume so they have your room ready when you arrive

 

[disneydaycare]

mowwwwse

It's even cuter when you hear it!

I can't wait to see his face when he sees the Mowse for the 1st time. I could cry right now and am sure I will when it happens!

 

[LuvMySoldier07]

10 days! tomorrow i'll be in single digits! i cant believe we are on page 7 of the new thread already.

 

[flipflopmom]

There is a thread in Theme Parks from someone there now that says to bring bug spray, there are mosquitoes everywhere!!!!! This Diser said they've not had problems with them until this year... One more thing for the suitcase!
