Online check in is down!!

I still haven't decided if i'm doing on line check in or not. this is helping me go with no. LOL.

Meanwhile, my day has gotten off to a terrible start at work, and if i don't find caffeine soon, i might hurt someone. only 10 more days until vacation!

Anyone else going stroller-less for the first time? I'm a little nervous about Ellie! She is 7, so 2 years older than the last time. She can normally run circles around the rest of us, but that is a lot of walking for short little legs!

So for those of you that ship a box of snacks, how far ahead do you do it?
And for the DISer that mentioned ordering smirnoff ice from GG, where did you find that on the site? I was looking all over that site for beer for my DH. I was thinking I should order from them b/c I want waters and juice boxes and stuff for the room and that stuff is pretty heavy to ship I assume.

My DD was fine w/o a stroller at 5 yrs old. You can always rent one if it comes down to it.

Online check in is complete!

We are! My daughter will be turning 6 this trip. I hope she gets tired so she will sleep well. My daughter is a bundle of energy most days We used it in the airport to manuver around when we went two years ago but she walked almost everywhere we went. If worse comes to worse we will rent a stroller at WDW.

You can put in a special request on garden grocer. I think there is a box for it. I called and they added the Smirnoff ice. Be prepared for sticker shock though! It was 10 bucks for a 6 pack. Luckily we aren't drinkers! (a six pack will probably last me all week)When we go on our cruise I do plan on stopping at a liqour store on the way. I sent our boxes to WDW and the cruise ship about a week ago and they are being delivered today. We arrive at the resort tomorrow.

On another note I did our online check in with Southwest. I purchased early bird check in for me and my oldest daughter. We got boarding positions 47 and 48. (really I don't think this is worth it. I can just see everyone grabbing the window seats before we get there. My youngest DD and hubby got B group and boarding 7 and 8. So we will see how it works? I didn't even purchase it for the way home.

Yay!! Hope you have a fantastic time!

On another note while getting dinner yesterday DH comes into the kitchen saying we should watch a movie with dinner. Fine with me, he goes to pick one out. He comes back with Aristocats and Pinocchio. He said he's never seen either of these! So we watched Aristocats last night and will be watching Pinocchio tonight. lol He hasn't watched nearly any Disney movies, yet we have most of the classic ones.

My DD is 8 and we plan on just seeing how she does. She is tiny and not used to walking for hours each day. I don't think she'll have any problem in HS or MK (because of the layout), but AK and Epcot can be killers for adults! I just think we are all happier if she is happy.

I'm so jealous of all you single digit-ers! I think I'm almost the last one to leave, it seems like. We were planning on leaving the 17th, but pushed it back a week since Free Dining was blocked out that week. 12 more days! 3 more days till I can pull out the creepy guy dancing!

Remember that job I was talking about earlier? I just received the offer. OMG I cannot believe the awesome package that they offered me! I'm still shaking!!!

Yeahhh! Congrats! Take it take it take it!

I'm planning on it. I just hate that when I leave where I work now it will basically be a bridge burned. And not on my end. I'm very sad that I will be leaving everyone and some of them will basically see me as dead right away which is very sad on their part. But I know that's how they are.

I have never received a sign on bonus before and it eases my mind about Disney spending!!!

I'm almost crying I'm so emotional. It's ridiculous!
