*OFFICIAL MARCH 2010 THREAD* - Lets countdown together!

[DisneyLover75]

The marching band from our town will be down there too! My oldest DS is in the band, but wasn't eliglible for the trip this year because he is only a freshman and will get to go when he is a senior. We found out that his band will be down there for part of our stay and at the same hotel as us! Crazy! He is happy that he might get to see a few of his friends while we are down there.


I have a question for you veterans. We bought a package with a 6 day park ticket. How do those work exactly? We didn't get a park hopper option because we figure we will just do one park a day and then go back to MK our last day. I am just wondering if we get some sort of pass and then get a ticket for the park we want to go to that day or what? Is there anything that should be done in advance? This is all new to me.

Thanks!

Your park tickets will be on your room key. You won't need to worry about anything. Just do your initial plan, of going to one park per day, and you'll be fine. It will be documented how many you've used and how many are remaining via your room key.

Also, now that you've got your luggage tags, watch for your booklet of vouchers too. It'll be a big blue envelope with the castle in the clouds, and a bunch of balloons on it.

HTH

Hey I didn't realize you were going to be down there the same time as us.

Where have you been? Not on the CFWW board that's for sure

12 DAYS

Since my daughter is in college, son is wrestling all over the place I wasn't going to go back the WDW for a while, but Disney has the hook set and is reeling me in slowly! They sent me one of those 40% discount codes and well.... WDW here I come. Anyway we'll be at the Beach Club and if you guys want to stop over for a few drinks I won't mind.

Question: I've read a lot fo peopel talkign about "mickey mail" and vouchers. We are staying offsite and bought our tickets through Mapleleaf, so i am assuming we won't be getting the actual "Mickey mail", but we are eating at CRT and wondered if we will be getting some sort of voucher for that or if we just have to print out our email verification.

I also wish that Southwest was a participating ME airline. It would be so much more convenient not to have to drag my luggage to the airport!!

I think they recently added Southwest to the participating ME airlines for the value resorts! If only it were available for ALL resorts...even better!

Kids are home from school today, so we're having a little fun getting ready. Made our customized maps-- a little late, I know, but I figure if we don't get them before we leave, then we'll have some fun mail when we get back! Registered my photo pass card. Sunday hit Kohl's. My DS is growing like a weed, and needed some new tshirts, and a swim suit. Keeping a positive outlook. It WILL be warm enough to swim! Next, need to get DD to try on her shorts and some capris to make sure they still fit. I'll try mine on later. That will give them some time to make them fit

The 15 day temps are looking better - highs near 70 and lows around 60....MUCH better! I can't believe it's less than 2 weeks now. I am also praying for healthy kids - mine just got over a very nasty virus, high fevers, colds and are now on antibiotics for ear infections. I'm hoping this means the worst is behind us and that they will be healthy when we leave! It helps that they are off from preschool this week and aren't being exposed to all the germs.

I have also been stalking the 15 day forecast and it is starting to look better. I am hoing for 70's. And I am also trying to keep my 3 kids healthy. We all just got over colds, so I hope nothing else strikes. Or if it does, do it now! LOL!

Yay!!! Almost time to go

I can hardly stand waiting any longer! Thankfully I'm going to have a project that is going to keep me BUSY for the rest of the month - then I'll just have to get through the last 5 days with my packing! I ordered me some new capris today, so hopefully they'll fit and be comfy!

We ate at CRT and didn't get anything in the mail for it last year. You can just print out the email, but you honestly probably won't even need that.

What is your project for the next few weeks? I have two kids science projects to do in the next three weeks. So that will hopefully take up some time. I have to get myself and DH packed too. All the others are packed as of today. I feel like time is flying by now though. It's almost like I don't have enough time to get everything done. My DH has told me as we get closer and closer to the trip he is going to ignore me more and more... I guess I am a over thinker/stresser/you name it... lol I have three different lists going. Things to DO Before Vacation, Things to buy before Vacation, and Things to pack before Vacation. I think I've lost it. I'm sure I can come up with more if I feel the need.

Started pulling the essentials together - others think I'm nuts, but I'll be prepared!!!

I don't think your nuts! I already have a pile started in my living room... Just started it today though...

 

[tannersmama]

I have what my DH calls "my staging area" set up in the basement, with our luggage, carry ons and what not. I have put stuff in already..because we arent going to be wearing any shorts in Iowa right now. In fact its snowing now!

We are going out of town witha couple of families this weekend to the Wisconsin Dells, and then next week we get new carpet.. so those things will keep us busy.. then it will be 3/1 and only 12 days left!

You are not alone. DH got a kick out of this post because I am TOTALLY the same way.

Oh nothing too fun, just work. A client is going to send me about 500 articles tomorrow that have be edited and posted on the web by the emd of the month. On the fun side, I've got the stuff on the way to make me some Mickey tie dye shirts. I'm also going to make me a Minnie Mouse lanyard to wear my room key on so I'm not constantly pulling it out of my pocket/my husband's wallet. Suddenly 17 days doesn't sound all that long!

 

[BrittLeshea]

I just added ONE MORE ADR at Coral Reef on our trip! Definitely, the last one! I figured that since we had a breakfast at Ohana, a dinner at Epcot couldn't hurt since we're spending the day there on the 28th anyway...

 

[Vickis3js]

I haven't even started making my shirts!! AHHHHHHH I ordered DH's tees online and they haven't come in yet. I so wish I married a normal size man DH is 6'5 and well shirts from Walmart would so not work. I haven't gotten anything together at all. I so need to get on top of things. Its going to be March 10th before i know it.

 

[Jasperann]

We just added another night to our reservations. We will now be checking out on the 16th of March instead of the 15th! One more full day in a Disney Park of our choice!

You will be busy. Your 17 days is going to fly by! Hope you get everything done. I attempted Tye Dye before... it didn't work out to well... I never thought you could mess up Tye Dye, but I proved that it can be done.
