Question? Do the rooms have ipod docking stations on their alarm clocks?

QUOTE=tambam500;42447881]Got my ME packet today!!!! i'm so excited 31 more days !!!

I know this may be a dumb question to all of you veterans but This is my first Disney trip since I was 12, and my DH and DS(8) first trip ever. Could you please tell me what comes in the ME packet, and what else I am to expect to recieve and when. I thought my TA said that we would get our tickets when we arrived at our resort (POP), but now i'm thinking I made that up. So anxious to get something. I'm 44 days away from leaving, so if I'm getting something, it should be prett soon right?

Thanks![/QUOTE]

In the ME pack you get your vouchers for the ME bus and luggage tags. There are also vouchers for things like golfing and free video games. I can't remember if those are personalized or not but I am learning towards they are. When you check in you get your KTWC and it has your dining and park tickets on there. Unless you have a seperate ticket like the MNSSHP. That I have to go pick up at the Will call window at MK. A few years back we went to the luau and picked those tickets up at the Concierge.

The golfing is fun but we only used the PH voucher once.

I almost forgot that we wanted to go on the haunted hayride. I better write that down lol!

Not all of them, it depends on where you are staying. To my knowledge, the deluxe rooms all do.

Happy September! Now we can officially say we're going to Disney next month!!!

Loved flipping the page on the calendar! Next month! next month! next month!!!

Me too! Me too! SO EXCITED! 51 days!

And my baby niece was born this morning (photo on the other oct thread, so check her out, the little cutie pie!).

52 days today! Again, the second half of the "tens" really drags. But the fact that it's September and we can say we go to Disney next month is, how shall I say, AWESOME!!!!!!! All those going end of September - well, don't talk to me. NO - I take it back - talk to me!!!! And tell me everything, live, as you're there!

Some good financial news for a change - I just found out they are moving DD up a room in day care, so that means our monthly charge got dropped. She just got moved to the room she's in only 2 months ago, so it was a surprise they are moving her up so soon, but they said she's really ready to move. They said she's developmentally ready and one of the most mature kids in the room. That's my girl! Fooling them all! I know she's developmentally on point, but maturity is always the question since she has no siblings that I can judge from. I'd rather she be in with the older kids so she can toughen up. She's a bit of a baby. She has the ability to be tough, but whines because it works, you know? Well, she whines to her daddy because it works. I just walk away.

Anyway, that means I might actually be able to put some CASH toward this trip now! I don't want to jinx it, so I say might and knock on every piece of wood I see around me, but LORD, something has to start to give around here!

OK, enough with the saga of my life. We all have our problems, don't we!?! It's why we're going to Disney NEXT MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are at CBR. It's a mod.

CBR didn't have them when I stayed there last, but that was 2009. You might want to check the resort threads. They should know for sure!

I got Mickey mail yesterday!!!!

It was not my vaca info, it was my annual passes! This means we are getting closer. I am sooooo excited. I called my TA friend and she said I would not get my package info till October, . Oh well, at least I got my passes. I'm not sure I am liking this TA stuff, I like to be in control of my vacation planning, I think I am having more anxiety turning over the reins to her, but I know she will take care of me. I'm just not use to someone else planning my vacation.

I am still under the weather, I have caught dh's crud now! Last week the stomach bug, this week the upper respiratory bug. I will try to work on the list today or tomorrow.

to all the newbies on the thread.

See ya'll later, gonna go die now.

We are holding reservations on 2 rooms at POFQ for the end of October. I paid one room at Day 75 - about 12 days later received an ME package for the three of us in the paid off room. ME tickets and luggage tags only. No discount tickets and such associated with our package. I will pay for the second room next week and will expect the ME package for the second and perhaps the other goodies will come separately, later?

Better now than later when in Disney at least.

Feel better!

 

[physiciansalt88]

My family and I will be there from October 27th - November 5th. I can't stinkin wait. We were originally going to go in January, but just moved our trip up to October. Which is when we love to go. Unfortunately that doesn't leave me much time to save up money for souveniers. Pooh.

Ewwww!!! We'll be there soon! 51 days for us today!

Hey, t, aren't you the Keen lover? I just ordered these today from Zappos. http://www.zappos.com/keen-sula-camo Reviews say they are pretty wide and I'm hoping they'll work with my inserts and I thought they were cute enough for shorts, capris and jeans! Do you get their shoes or sandals?

I do love my Keens Actually all 5 of us have Keens now Here is the link for the ones I got, Brent's daughter got these, too...(I can't post pictures from work)

Then Mariah got the Heliotrope color, Brent got a black pair and Ellie got a black, gray and purple. Ellie's are a different brand, but are just like Keens.

Ah, the sandals. Do they have removable footbeds? I know some sandals do, but I don't know if Keens do. I can't put my orthotic in the sandals. I do hear the Newports are the most comfy, though!!

If only my stupid foot would heal!! Grrr! I swear I'd be happy as a pig in, well, you know, in a new pair of Teva flip flops the entire trip but I can't do it with my neuroma. (There needs to be something stronger than that. or better yet )

They don't have the removable footbeds. The straps are kind of melted into the sole(if that makes sense?). The guy at the shoe store said that's why the shoes aren't always 100% the same, that one strap may be just a little off from the matching shoe for the other foot. I guess the straps are dipped into the hot, melty sole?

Who knows, he could have been full of poo and pulling the wool over my eyes, too!
