OFFICIAL October 2009 thread - LET US KNOW YOUR PTR LINK!

Yet another going to Disneyworld airport/airplane dream. The airplanes in these dreams never fly the way they are supposed to. This one was driving down the highway. Also forgot my passport. Guess I need a passport to go to Florida now. Forgot someone's luggage again in this one. Always happens.

I'm not stressing out or anything.

Kidding aside..last trip I switched purses before our trip and I got to Indy airpoirt which is about 4 hours away from me and I did not have my license with me! I was trying to leave the non important things like Target card etc behind and I ended up not having any photo id whatsoever. Luckily the airport was very understanding, they did pat me down and go through my carryons, but they let me board. My mom had to overnite my license to me! talk about a way to start a vacation!

I can't believe they let you go! I would have just cried. I am super freak when it comes to checking and rechecking tickets, passes, etc. but I know I haven't ever checked for my ID more than once. I will keep this in mind.

Hello! We will be there for a very short trip: Oct. 9-12, and will be staying at the Poly. DH has a conference during that time, so it will be just me, my mom, DD 5.5, and DS 3. Cheers!

I normally do too...but on the way up there I could have sworn that I had seen it...guess it was a figment of my imagination!! I was stressed almost in tears, I had plenty of things with my name on it but none of them had a picture. Good news this was the only glitch in our trip and we had a great time!

Whoo hoo! Just saved some money on my stay! I saw the ad above "save at least 28% on resorts" and called my TA, as we had added 1 day onto the end of our DVC stay, and they took $38 off of my 1 night at ASMu! Only $84.32 TOT!!!
I love these boards!

We are arriving 10/30 and staying until 11/6 not sure if we belong in the Oct or Nov. thread. We have 25 people coming down for a Grand Gathering, all going to the MNSSHP on Halloween! We decided to extend our stay a full week for DS (turning 8) birthday! I booked our ADRs this morning including dinner for everyone at 'Ohana and birthday breakfast at Chef Mickey's! To keep everyone as excited as me, I have been sending out trivia questions starting at the 120, then 100 day, now 90 day mark. So far I have given out a 6" Mickey, a few Disney jibbitz (for crocs) and a couple trading pins to those who have given me correct answers. Funny how my mom has gotten every question right, I guess that's were I got my enthusiasm from! This is too much fun. I can't believe it's only 90 days away!!

Our family is heading down Oct. 10-16! Just making plans - don't know which day is best for MNSSHP, would appreciate any input! We'll have me, my wife, and our two kids, 6 yo son and 3 yo daughter!

They say during the week is better than the weekends as far as the crowds go. We will be going the 13th ourselves.

I have my suitcase next to my cedar chest at the end of the bed. I keep stacking clothes on the chest that need to go into the suitcase instead of putting them up in the drawers. I am sick...

I have went out and bought my kids each a Disney back pack and I have started buying little things to keep them entertained on the plane. I plan on getting my glow sticks and ponchos today and I have a very lengthy list in my head of stuff that I need to buy and pack. I am debating on going ahead and packing my husband's clothes since Disney is the only place he wear shorts..he would never know that his stuff is missing!

My cases have been packed for the last month!! Of course that won't stop me taking it all back out and putting it back in at least twice before we go

We were all booked for the ultimate celebration trip for September. (I am finishing my PhD and my birthday fell during our vacation week.) Alas...yucky job cuts forced us to think about our plans, so we cancelled September. After looking seriously at our plans, we are planning a much more simplified and less expensive trip over Halloween. I am so excited!!! I love Halloween at Disney and the weather should be much cooler!

Oh...we are planning to be there from 10/30 - 11/4
