Morning Laugh (or afternoon or evening depending on your location)

So DD2 is still in pullups. Thank goodness for this trip. We are trying to potty train and so I tried on some shorts with undies from the new summer stuff we bought (size 24 mo and 2T)...WAY TO BIG!!!! Tried on an old pair (18 mo.) still to big. Tried on a (12 mo) pair that happened to be in the Goodwill box...slightly too big! I have no idea what she's going to wear on our trip in July and our cruise in Sept. if she doesn't gain some 'booty' weight. Guess I need to invest in some one piece rompers.

Your little one sounds like my now 7 year old. Her tush is so tiny that she can still wear some 2 and 3T's and she's 7!!! She normally wears a 5T, but we gotta cinch! My suggestion, sundresses! I sew, and I made some really cute ones with matching panties that cover the undies. I find that custom made clothes work best for the tinkerbell crowd. If you can't sew or don't have the time, look for sundresses of all styles. She's 2, so you don't have to worry that anything will be too "babyish"!

last December we visited POR and couldn't do online check in since we had booked through Coke rewards, got there about 3 pm and anyone who went to online check in was in and out quickly -
I'm going to pack all summer clothes, but bring a sweater and a pair of jeans or two just in case!

You booked through Coke Rewards? How did you do this? Were you redeeming coke points? How many did you need for a booking at Disney? I am a fan of Coke points. I do not let any other soda in my house so we get the points!! I think I have about 1200 now. I haven't redeemed in a while. What's the deal?

By the way... I Dole whips too!!

30 Days

iheartdolewhips- Thanks for the information. I am going to do the online check in and whatever happens, happens. Then I will come back and share my experience, LOL

10 days!!!!

I am no longer worried about the weather in Florida - my latest, unfounded fear is that another giant snowstorm on the East Coast will delay our trip and screw everything up. I get nauseated just thinking about it!! I wish we could just leave today, the waiting is killing me!!

same here, we are flying out of Clevelan OH and it is about 1.5 hour trip for us and I am so worried there will be a blizzard and we will not be able to drive there. I "KNOW" it will be warmer in Disney than it is here, so that is not my worry anymore, after weeks of 20 degrees I would be estatic if it was only 50 each day, LOL! But I would LOVE it if it was 70's or better.

It's 40 hear today, and that feels like a heat wave. Very sad. Def. packing shorts. And some warmer stuff for the evening!

Yes! It's under the MCR Points Plus section and under hotels. It's random which hotels they have, so you can't necessarily book whatever you want. I watched it a lot at the end of last year when we were looking at going and it seems like they just randomly rotated between some of the Disney property hotels having one or two available for a date. I remember seeing ASMu, CBR, POR, and AKL at one point or another for the dates we went. We stayed two nights, had about 80 Coke points, and got POR for $80 a night. Even the values were about $85 when we went and a room at POR would have been $175 from Disney then. It was a STEAL!! The only things was that you have to pay in full whenever you book and you can't get the dining plan, but that definitely worked for our short trip then, plus we saved more money on the room than we would have booking through Disney and getting the dining plan. I haven't seen them have any of the Disney hotels yet for this year (looking at dates in March and May), but I've still got my fingers crossed I'll see them again.

And Dole whips are the best!!

No problem! I think it's always great to try something! I think CSR is our favorite resort.

Thanks for the idea. I don't sew but will definitely look to go that route. I really can't complain..she was born at 24 weeks weighing 1lb 4oz. She was in the hospital for 5 mo. so to have her home and doing exceptionally well..I'll take her small frame size any day.

Just because we are 3 weeks from disney magic, today i went to dollarama and bought ponchos, glow sticks, travel toothbrush ends, and some extra bits. Then I went to Walmart and bought myself some minnie mouse p.j's and my daughter some Donald duck p.js.....they are so cute!!! with the t-shirts and capri length pants!!! I got some tea, coffee filters, 2 pairs goggles for the kids and did up our mousekeeping envelopes complete with the tips!!

wow, at this rate I will be ready by next week.....then what will i do?

ahhhhh..... the lead up to the trip is as much fun as the trip!...o.k almost.
