Never too early, lol.

Remember to put them in zip locks for each day and label. It makes it sooo easy if you have kids to get it out, look for the day written or numbered if they can't read, and it keeps them clean. I do this for everyone in my family. You never know what hands are going through your luggage!

I do this too and it works out great!

Im just so frustrated without those hours! I can't plan which days we'll be in which parks and because of that can't choose the restaurants!! My call in day is not until the 6th but this is driving me crazy!

I just read a trip report where the writer dressed up as Darla. The author was Lynn5700. She posted pix. It was a good outfit.

Yup!! She got the idea from Lynn! I follow her reports and my niece saw her dressed up as Darla! Although I am sure she will change her mind 10 times before we go!

I am mentally packing!!
Just like I am mentally making my ADR's! Come on hours!!!!

Never to early for that! I like to plan our (DD, DS, and I) outfits according to which park we will visit. Sadly, my DH does not plan his outfits by themes of the parks. Although he will wear a certain shirt if we all are wearing them (Mickey or something).

I have been telling my husband that I have ordered surprise matching shirts for our trip...he's starting to get a little worried about it!

OK...so when's too early to plan my outfits for this trip?

I have been thinking about this too...I would love to get the kids all packed at least!

I do this for my kids! So much easier!

What are you guys packing for October weather? I have been down there before in Oct and Nov but it has been years! I know to bring a light jacket and such, but I am just not certain what to pack!

 

[DreaGirl]

When we went in mid-October 2 years ago it was HOT HOT HOT! We had packed a light jacket and a pair of jeans each and we didn't use them once.

I think for this trip we will all wear jeans on the plane and then if we need them, we'll just wash them. I'll also bring a hoodie for each of us.

The TA site still has the 2008 hours for October... Hopefully later today!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I know, I keep going to the page and hitting reload, thinking it will magically turn to 2009!

 

[lustergirl]

Finally down to 3 months- woohoo!!

Finally down to 3 months- woohoo!!

Did you make your ADRs?

 

[mickey2minnie1]

This is torture! I keep looking and I see it but the hours are not there. Surely a couple of hours cannot make a difference. They have to already have them.

 

[DreaGirl]

Where are ya'll looking?

Do PM EMH really bring that much more park traffic in, and about what time does it start to get busier?

Here is my tentative plan:

F 16th: (Arrival Day) Grocery shop, settle in, get to Epcot for Illuminations & Food & Wine Festival
Sa 17th: MK (hours 9a-11p), bfast at CRT?
Su 18th: DHS (hours 9a-7p), MNSSHP (I figure this will be our least favorite park, so I don't mind leaving it early)
M 19th: Epcot WS (11a-9p) After going to MNSSHP the night before, I thought we might enjoy a lazy morning.
Tu 20th: AK (hours 9a-5p), late dinner for DH & I at Cali Grill?
W 21st: Epcot Future World (hours 9a-7p, PM EMH)
Th 22nd: DS's birthday--MK (hours 9a-7p), and yes, it is AM EMH, which suuucks, but at least it will be our 2nd day at MK, and it is his birthday, after all. Dinner at Chef Mickey's. DTD in the evening for birthday shopping.

Of course, the ADR's have not been made yet, hence all of my restaurant choices are ?'s, with the exception of Chef Mickey's, which is non-negotiable. My boy wants to eat with Mickey on his birthday, and he will!

As a reminder, we are off-site, non-park hoppers.
