Great!! Who knows, we all may run into each other! I'll be the one with a giant grin on my face!

[girlieeee]

So excited.

Starting to freak out that I won't be able to pack it all and be ready in time.

Just bought MORE stuff for the trip:
Travel size Aloe in case of sunburn
Travel size diaper wipes
Swim trunks for toddler

Kids are getting really excited too, even the little guy. He watches Disney movies and when the castle comes on (intro) he says "We're going there??" I say "YES!! For your bithday, very soon!" and he gets sooo elated!

45 days from right now, we will be settling into our home for the next 10 days!! Can't wait for May 25, it is getting so real!!

Starting the actual packing tomorrow, I think. I have the lists made (of course I am sure I will be adding things up until the last second!). The kids are excited....they love to take a Mickey head off of our countdown calendar.

Getting more and more excited!!!

I'm looking at my countdown calendar just now and noticed on Saturday I'll have 30 days! .

I need to make my packing list but I'm glad for our Owner's Locker that we have in Florida. I don't have to pack a lot of the little things. We went this route so now we have more room for souvenirs, .

Looks like we will be there around the same time! I can't wait!!!

Me either! It isn't coming fast enough.

This month seems to be flying by... But that could be because we are in the process of making an offer on a house too. Everything seems to be happening now. I say 'I can't wait!' and it could be used for Disney or our new house. Our new house is located near the city's little downtown area and I for some reason keep calling it Downtown Disney... It is not even on purpose, so I guess I have Disney on the mind.

27 more days staying at old key west 8-13 maybe I will finally see some sun, can't wait for the scavenger hunt!!!!

 

[girlieeee]

I wanted to do the scavenger hunt but can't imagine doing it with a toddler in tote. Maybe when thee kids are bigger.

I'm jealous of those going doing Pixar Weekend! What a great add on. We have 46 days until we hit the road and our kids and I are so excited!!

 

[ocalla]

Looks like everyone is getting very excited about their trips!!!

One thing to remember, Don't Wish the month away, because before you know it your trip will be over with!!!

As excited as I am, I really try and enjoy the last few weeks that lead up to my vacation.....................I know, I know "Crazy Person".

We're at 32 days today! I cannot wait! First trip ever with the kids & 1st time for all of us to Disney. I packed a bit more today... have all of our outfits figured out (still need to buy myself a shirt for our HS day and need to get DH a nice shirt for our last night's dinner at 1900 Park Fare!)

We will be arriving the last day of the Pixar weekend but I think we're going to skip it. I'd love to go BUT I'm worried about huge crowds and I really don't want my kids to have their first experience at Disney standing in line for hours to meet a few extra characters... ah, I sure hope they still have the regulars out on Monday when we go to Epcot.

I want the whole MK experience the first day. Really hoping this works out

Disney has big plans for their Pixar characters the weekend of May 13 to 15, 2011. That’s the last few days of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival and it’s dubbed Disney-Pixar Weekend.

Although Disney hasn’t officially released much information about the event, an Attractions fan (JL_Davis on Twitter), told us they’re planning on having multiple meet and greet areas with Pixar characters all around Epcot. This includes some characters never before seen at Walt Disney World. This is also the same weekend the Cars Tour 2011 will be stopping at Downtown Disney.

• Banners will be hung at the Epcot auto plaza designating it Disney-Pixar Weekend.

• The Green Army Men from Toy Story will be at the Epcot entrance handing out maps to all the character locations.

• Carl, Russell, and Dug will be appearing at the fountain stage, along with an Up inflatable house.

• Mike, Sulley, Boo, Smitty, Needleman and George from Monsters Inc. will be at the Universe of Energy.

• Mr. and Mrs. Incredible from The Incredibles will appear at Innoventions West along with Frozone.

• Wall-E will be meeting guests at Mission Space.

• Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater and the Rust-eze girls from Cars 2 will be at Test Track.

• Living Coral stiltwalkers will be appearing at The Seas with Nemo and Friends.

• Flik, Atta, Gypsy and Slim from A Bug’s Life will be at Village Traders in World Showcase.

• Remy and Emile from Ratatouille will be appearing in the France Pavilion.

• Buzz, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Lotso and Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story 3 will be at the American Adventure.

• A theater will be set up at World Showplace with a “garden” of photo stills from the Pixar movies. Guests will be able to listen to informal discussions from Pixar and sneak peeks at Cars 2. There will also a Pixar gift shop set up with some exclusive merchandise.

• Watch for the Cars 2 logo on Spaceship Earth after Illuminations.

In addition to the weekend events at Epcot, the Cars Tour 2011 will be stopping at Downtown Disney. (Click Here to see if the tour is coming to a town near you.) At the tour stop, fans can meet Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Finn McMissile and Mac Truck. There is expected to be a inflatable obstacle course and a classic car show.

As always, everything is subject to change as the event draws near. But it looks like a great photo-op weekend.

 

[Marshay]

It looks awesome!! But I'm sure it'll be crowded, too. At least all the chacters are spread out to help with the crowds. The lines for the rides may actually be quite small!

Only 2 more days until I start my 30-day countdown, too!!

 

[budafam]

I spoke too soon... we got our Mickey mail today!!! I wasn't sure if we would get anything since we're not flying but yay!!! I registered the photo pass already, pre-ordered that to save $50 and we also got our gift card from our Visa rewards with the FREE money on it Super exciting day!

We have 2 countdowns going on and I am tempted to add a third but DH would think I'm crazy We have a countdown chain which the kids love & then a white board where we're writing the number on everyday. We started at 70 and I can't believe we're this far already.

This month will go by quickly due to Easter and so many other events we have going on. Then the beginning of May is just going to fly by.

Anyone else doing Disney Movie nights? We started this a few weeks ago and that's helping the time fly by even quicker. I think half the fun is the anticipation though, right?

 

[Jasperann]

I got Mickey Mail today!!!! So exciting! Love the new tags, so cute!

I can check-in, in 10-11 days!!! Not long now. Everything is just speeding up!

 

[Holly324]

What do you all think about Pixar Weekend affecting the crowds? My kids are HUGE Wall-E fans, so I know they would love to meet him.

Getting closer everyday!
