[Chicago Mo]

Mo, we went last year at almost the same time, we were mid 70s during the day, wore shorts, at night more like 50s, wore hoodies and jeans.. It was def a mixed bag!

i just saw this... ignore the last one... SORRY!
so i am going to pretty much pack the entire closet, GOT IT!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Disney sent me ME luggage tags yesterday. We're not flying. Wish we were... We'll get there eventually.

Pretend?

you can still use them just for identification purposes?

Me too. Three cold outfits, three warm ones, and do a load of laundry half way thru the trip. Dang fickle weather.

I think we might be related. I started telling DH about all the things we need to do, and he said - ITS ALMOST THREE WEEKS AWAY, SLOW DOWN.

[Lilo&Stitch]

9 days left!!!! and for some reason cant do online check in? Been trying 2 days now and keeps coming up with error, system update,your info doesnt match our records....but when I sign into the site itself my reservation info comes up fine, all my adrs are there etc its just an issue when I click on online check in...anyone else having this problem?

I had no problems checking in today, I signed onto the Disney site and the option to do on line check in was there so I just clicked that and had no issues did you try calling ?

 

[Lilo&Stitch]

this year in Chicago is supposed to be horribly cold and TONS more snow then last year..

THIS makes me Ive been telling everyone i'm staying in Florida and cancelling the return flight !

Where the heck did you get a party bus ? we're debating asking family to drive us to Midway or taking a cab, our flight is at 6 AM though so we're thinking cab might be a better option

 

[weswife]

Sooooo excited!!!!!! We are at the 1 month mark! My kids have been saving $1.00 per day sice we were 100 days out. We counted the $$$ tonight, they are so excited looking at their savings

I know what you mean!

I've been doing laundry non-stop so that everything I need to pack will be ready and there won't be any waiting for me when we get back. (Uh, besides all the vacation clothes that is....) And the stinkin' people in this house keep wearing their clothes and making more laundry for me!

 

[fiveofus-la]

Our trip is in 3 wks, 4 days! I'm sooooo excited and it almost seems like I'm the only one who wants to go! My 15 yr old step son told us a week ago he didn't want to go on the family vacation, because Thanksgiving is a time for families and he wanted to stay with his grandparents! Who are we? Aren't we family? lol Anyway, we're not making him go, he'll just be miserable and sulking the whole time if we do! This is the first ever trip with my parents, and my sisters and their families, since we all grew up and moved from home! I haven't been to Disney since I was 12 and that was a longggggg time ago! My teenager and niece & nephew think Im crazy...I made them all luggage tags, and swag bags, because I did it for my 5 yr old...they said, we're not flying, the luggage will be in the car with us and we will know it's ours!
I spent the weekend making LSU tie dyed Mickey shirts for 11 people and my fingers are still black! I'm also making an iron on design from the disboards and embroidered shirts! My niece was like I'll wear what I want! I told her I'm packing her suitcase full of matchy clothes so she can look like the rest of us! My lil sister said....ugh, we're going to look like dorks! : Is anyone else bring matching shirts???
