OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

[disneybarbie]

Hey Everyone:

I just switched my Chefs de France ADR's for the San Angel Inn. Has anyone ever eaten at the SAI? My bf and I are eating a lot of "meat and potato" type places and I thought that this would give a little variety..

Any help would be most appreciated.

XOXOXO

I have eaten a at San Angel Inn several times & really enjoyed it.. I always feel sooo full after eating there tho, so if you don't have a big appetite I would probably say skip appetizers or share one!
it's a beautiful setting & amazing to feel like you're outside in a marketplace


I actually looked on Home Depot's website to find out what these LGMHs are!! .. i am going to print one out that Lois posted on here, not sure what to do with it tho... think i might go buy a LG plastic bracelet to wear.. there's a lot of neon accessories around lately so it shouldn't be too hard to find one! ... i'll be looking out for LGMHs and hidden mickeys in the parks now!

36 days to go!

Flipflopmom.. thinking of you & your family

I hate to do this, but I just cancelled our ressie at SoG and changed us to POR standard view and added a date. So we will now be at POR from 07/16/09-07/21/09. Also added two nights at those others parks in Orlando.

I don't think I ever gave you the rest of our ADR's, and if you could include SimmerBaggins for the same ADR's that would be great.

Monday July 20 @ 6:00pm Tutti Italia

Tuesday July 21 @ 12:15pm 50's Prime Time Cafe

Thank you for doing this. It is fun checking out who else will be there same time as us. Keep an eye out for us. I always have a camera around my neck, with a red/black backpack camera bag with my LGMH! Hope to see others!

So, I will be down from July 5 - 13, and am bringing my own Pack n Play. Since we have two and don't use them much any more, I am hoping to find someone in Orlando who wants it after our trip so I don't have to lug it back home. It's in good used condition.

If anyone is interested, I check out on the 13th so you could come get it, or I could leave it at baggage check at my resort.

PM me if you want it!

It's been a long time since I posted here.

Just wanted to say I'm still here. And in great need of a vacation. I feel like a rubber band that's gonna snap.

What/who is ME? I just paid off our balance and haven't received any magic mail yet. Should I call someone too?

Tara

The Magical Express is free but you need to sign up with Disney in order to you it. Just contact Disney or your TA to make the arrangments. You should recieve your documents from Disney some time after 45 days. If you reach 21 days out and have not recieved anything you should call but I would not panic until then. Lois

That is a great description of how I feel right about now. My kids are going nuts with tests and homework this week and finals next week. They are only in 6th and 9th grade. I feel like school won't end this year!

As much as I am looking forward to our July vacation, it will be nearing the end of summer too. DD starts band camp a 10 days after we get back.

 

[Grandma4ever]

34 days and counting!
I too am about ready to snap. If things don't slow down while going by faster I may not make it to July. I feel like I am just going to bust I hope I have some energy left for when I get to play. I have decided to take two extra days off before we leave so that should help. Lois

You guys don't even want to know our schedule for this month. I'm starting to panick thinking I won't get it all done.

But on a happier note, I got my Mickey Mail today!!!!

You don't know how bad I wish that was true! But between the two kids??? LOL I know I'll get it done, but sometimes I wonder!

 

[WLfamily]

I'm right here with you guys. School has been out here for almost two full weeks, sounds great huh? NOT! My ds has started baseball, at least 4 games per week. He starts football camp on Monday and has to be there at 9am through Thurs. and my dh was kind enough to schedule the kids next orthodontist appt. for next Friday at 8:45am!! My father-in-law has decided to come for a visit, which is great, but he will arriving two weeks before our vacation and leaving 5 days before we are to leave. Of course I have a teeth cleaning scheduled for the kids and one last orthodontist appt. scheduled 3 days before we leave...and somebody has to pack!!! Do you ever ask yourself if all the stress preparing is really worth it??

 

[Grandma4ever]

Do you ever ask yourself if all the stress preparing is really worth it??

Yes, each year I ask if it is worth all we do - Saving all that money by going without all year long and in the end the answer is a resounding -

YES!!!​

Project Graduation Monday night, clean up Tuesday morning 23rd (restuff shed will all decorations in a useful way). Ballet Rehearsal 26th, Ballet Recital 27th... DD's 7th birthday the 1st!! Not even planned yet. DD21 said she'd do it. whew! I have so much to do my hair is wild (getting to look like Rosanne Rosannadanna), it needs cut & color, my nails need to b done!! I can't find the time. I can't wait to leave Stress City!! WDW I miss you so!

Now the wonderous countdown ticker that made me excited is stressing me out! I am so indecisive about stuff, I just need to make decisions and GO WITH IT! My current list of stuff to make decisions about:

1. how to id my kids. Not so much worried about the 9 year old as the 2 year old. Thought about those silicone bracelets, and letting them wear on ankles, since they will be wearing crocs?

2. To ship a box or not? I have a big box of "stuff" deemed necessary by my DIS friends... When do I ship it? How do I get it home if the car is packed full?

3. To order something from the florist? I have lanyards, autograph books, trinkets from Dollar store that I thought about adding to the box of stuff in Mickey gift bags and not ordering anything else!

All these need to be decided now so I can get it done!!!

 

[tinkerbell60]

How soon after you make your final payment does the Mickey Mail arrive? I am booked under the 4/3 package and wondering when we will get our goodies.......

Try planning a two-week disneymoon AND a wedding at the same time!!! I know as soon as school gets out, I'm going to be a madwoman! I've been trying to put everything off, I keep saying, "I'll worry about it when school gets out." I know it's all going to hit me at once.

Once I'm on that plane.......

You may not need everything that we on the DIS have said. Look at your family and the items you feel you will most likely use and take those. You will be at the world and able (at a cost) to get most other items. I have never needed to send a box ahead so can't help you with the time frame. With the extra luggage fees it may be cheaper to ship it ahead. If driving I don't think I would mess with it. If it would't fit in the car we wouldn't need it but that is just me. I am sure someone can answer your question.

I have never taken a 2 year old but I would guess if a lanyard would remain on that could be a way of IDing them if they go away. Gotten like if I am found please return me to:

WDW seems to send papers sooner. You will be gitting your from DCL and they send them about 21 day from the strat of your vacation. You will get two sets of luggage tags one for your stay at WDW and one for your cruise.

I think I am glad that I did not have a big wedding either time!

33 days and a wake up TODAY!!!!​

 

[PopArtGal]
