**Official** November 2011

[julesdamom]

This time next week we will be on our way to WDW!! I've made our ADRs but keep checking for any openings for restaurants that weren't available since this was a last minute trip. I got an ADR for HBD for 5 people on 11/7 for dinner but it wasn't a Fantasmic package. Any chance I'll still be able to get one before then?
Also, we haven't been to Disney in years and I'm trying to catch up on what to do. I've been looking at the crowd forcasts. I know the parks with EMH usually have a bigger crowd forcast, but if we are there for RD and hit the big rides first, isn't it better to do that, then move on to a less crowded park later in the day? We are planning on hitting one park in the a.m. then taking a break at our room then hitting another park for the evening. Is this a good idea?

Sorry about your lack of online checkin; hope you get a quick checkin when you arrive. DH did the online checkin last night and it wouldn't work for him either. It took him forever because it kept saying there were errors, but he finally got it. Have a great trip.

Thanks you too!

I was at Target this morning and in their dollar bins at the front of the store were packs of 15 glow braclets for $1.00

My vacuum just broke, but you definitely win! I would be freaking out. I hope you can get a repair man soon!

Mine just broke last night too! I dropped (pushed) it down the stairs. I HATE that vacuum. I'm hoping for a Dyson this time around.

Was this an "accident"? I've been through many vacuums, and the Dyson is definitely the best so far. And why would I say a broken vacuum is the best? My DH was able to get it working 100% again. Whew! Although, the warranty would have covered the repair for free.

Um..why YES! Of course it was an accident. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. My birthday is in Dec. and I told my husband I wanted the Dyson as an early birthday gift. He doesn't want to get it for me because he is afraid my mom will yell at him for getting me a household item.

On a crappy note...my oven broke tonight too. (And I LIKE my oven). Burners work but no stove. Sheesh. Looks like we eat out or grill for the next few days (or pasta). Leave for Disney in 5 days so I'm not going to worry about it until we get back. I'm really going to need this vacation,

180 out we made all our ADR's one of them being the Fantasmic dinner package. My Frantic friend was looking around and saw that the day of our Dinner Fantasmic was canceled!!!
So like any nut we got on the phone can called Disney Canceled the dinner Ressie ended up with the SCIFI. Not a bad trade! after a while i stopped to think HEY all i wanted was the vip seats! why didn't Disney call ME? Why did i have to find out for myself? So i wrote an e-mail NOT snotty not written with my hand out like gimmie gimme. Just i thought it was strange that they canceled fantasmic without tell me or why was i able to make the ressie in the beginning, I mean what would have happened if we did not know? show up for the dinner package and there is nothing there?!?!
Disney called me said what a well written letter it was and I can pick up my VIP seating on a certain day!!! they DID NOT have to do that and i told her this SEVERAL times I was more in the mind set of "oh crap is this the way the trip is going to be?!?! is there going to be issues?!?! Can't have that this is our happy place!
I LOVE DISNEY they really do care about keeping magic and people happy!!! Of COURSE i wrote another email stating how nice the women was who called and went over and beyond to help and make our trip it's best!!!

Disney magic right there !!


One week, that's 7 days !! from right now !! i'll be in Orlando !!!

 

[daraddg]

[NOLAdisneymom]

[dreamcatcherkwe]

7 Days!!!!! OH MY GOD I SHOULD PACK.

 

[hilaryjudsong]

I just got reservations at O'Hana's for breakfast on November 30. My girls are sooooo excited!!!!

Now, if I could just swing a ressie at Chef Mickey's, we'd be doubly psyched! Still looking daily for anything between November 25- December 2.

I have all the vacation clothes stacked up and some other stuff I've bought. I still need to go get some toiletries. I haven't put anything in a suitcase b/c I figured my toddler would just "help" me unpack it all. I'm not sure where I'm going to hide them while I'm packing. They won't fit under the bed.

I have so much to do!

 

[peekinglemer]

We fly out Tuesday morning.

Once I leave work today at 5:00 I am officially on VACATION. Going to use the weekend to pack and get everything ready. Last year we were on a cruise over Halloween and I wanted my DS to have a chance to Trick-or-Treat in his own neighborhood this year so that is why we are leaving on Nov. 1st.

Can't believe my waiting started at 144 days out! (Although the actual planning was over a year ago). Anyone else almost SAD at the thought that our vacations are almost here and they will be over just as quick?

Got Mickey Mail today those luggage tags are cool

Getting the luggage out this weekend and working on our packing lists. This trip is so hard for packing since the weather in late November can be unpredictable. Unlike the past 3 summers in July when it's the center of the sun HOT!


21 Days
