Driving I have to admit is WAY cheeper. For example to get to Springfield VA takes me one tank of gas and 10 hours (ok I make multiple stops so the girls can stretch out their legs).

We received all our documenation from Disney yesterday and it did include the luggage tags.

We have one more ADR to add: Planet hollywood on 7/25 at 1:15pm.

I can't remember who asked about bags that we take to the park. I use one by Travelon it kinda looks like a mini back pack. I love it, it has several compartments. I bought it from QVC. They don't seem to carry that style any more.

I added your ADR to the master list on pg. 7!

Driving costs a lot less for us than flying for 4 people and then renting a car! Even with hotels, gas and food!!

I did it! I did the online check-in! I had no intention of doing it until I read some of you had done it and I don't know what came over me, I just signed on and did it! I hope it works out in our favor! I'm nervous!!

Okay, new question everyone, to help pass the time. Are there any souvenirs that you are absolutely going to buy? I need some more t-shirts and sweats, stuff from the Basin at DTD, pajamas, stuff from France in Epcot for my students and hopefully some soccer stuff (at Epcot - especially England) for the World Cup! Those are the must haves - anybody else have anything that they absolutely must get on their upcoming trip??

I'll end up buying a lot of stuff as usual. But what I absolutely need is another pin binder.

I've done online check-in 2 times already. Had no problems

 

[Kurby]

is it worth me doing the online check in when we won't be arriving until about 9pm?

what's the advantage when you arrive late? all the good rooms will have been taken with morning and afternoon arrivals

Yes, your info and keys will be ready for you. No waiting for you while they create the cards and such.

Were you happy with the room locations?

Yes, I was. But if you have a specific room, I'd phone wdw or the resort to tell them, and mention you did online check-in already.

 

[Robmom]

I just did my online check in!

Thanks, Nikki! And I PROMISE not to change any - I've been doing that for the past 3 weeks!

Okay, new question everyone, to help pass the time. Are there any souvenirs that you are absolutely going to buy?

Those are the must haves - anybody else have anything that they absolutely must get on their upcoming trip??

I don't know what I am going to buy since I just went to disney store online and bought two disney parks t-shirts - one says "I'm going to Disney World" and the other is the black glitter castle shirt. I also bought the 5 disk cd set of park music - it has everything I have been looking for. I knew that I would never buy that cd set w/DH he would think I am nuts for spending $60 on Disney music. I also bought a 3 pin set that was on sale for $8! My order shipped today and it says I will have it by Thursday! So now that I have blown over $100 and haven't even left yet...
I would like to get something different...guess I'll have to keep my eyes open! Any suggestions....

I was just thinking about this earlier today!
Vinylmation! I bought myself 2 last year and want to keep my collection going! So...I will buy 2 more this trip!
Basin!! I didnt buy a lotion there last year and was unable to get it before we left...so hopefully they still have that scent and I can pick it up this time!!
I also had written down that I wanted to get the kids some cereal bowls and cups.
That's all I have right now....I am sure that list will grow while we are at Disney World!!

I'll end up buying a lot of stuff as usual. But what I absolutely need is another pin binder.

Pin Binder?? Where did you find it at?
Have not seen that but it sounds like something we need for sure!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I just made the executive decision that we are NOT going to DHS on the morning of the 4th, like originally planned, before hopping to Epcot around noon. It's much to risky! I know it's very rare for Epcot to close because it's so big but if I showed up at Epcot at noon and they told me I couldn't get it, I'd be devastated! It's not worth the worry!

So Epcot all day on the 4th! Maybe we'll sleep in a little since we'll be up late that night and get there around 10/10:30....we should definitely be safe with that time.

Oh who am I kidding?! You KNOW we'll be at rope drop!

(This conversation really happened in my head as I typed it!)
