I LOVE Target. I go in for milk and come out with 40 dollars worth of stuff because I can't help looking around . Assuming I get my usual two days off a week, I have 17 more days of work before I am off for two weeks. 25 more days until I get married and 28 until WDW!

49 days - we're in the 40s now!!! Woohoo!!!!

48 for us!

 

[FigmentChick]

Add my whoo-hoos!!!

We've hit the 45 day mark!!!!!

I'm heading to Target today, but not to get any Halloween stuff (well.....not to get any Halloween stuff to decorate with at Disney. ). DD still needs a couple of back to school things and I need a razorback bra that is not going to break the bank (I love Body by Victoria, but, goodness, that stuff is expensive!!!). A couple of the tanks I bought for the trip require a razorback. I'm not one of those people who can have a bra strap showing. I was brought up old-school and if my bra showed, I changed my clothes.

Anyway....heading over to Delaware so hubby can get Vance Woorley's autograph (for those of you who aren't Phillies fans, he's a pitcher). And we're heading to the game tomorrow and will see him pitch, so it makes it that much better.

I have a couple of stores I need to hit while hubby is in line. I might even try to stop at Borders and see if I can find Animal Farm for DD. That's a must read on my list for her. And I need two U2 CDs.....gonna see if I can get them the same price or cheaper at Borders or Best Buy.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe!!!!

I've used the travel Space bags...similar to using a large Ziploc. You roll the air out of them. 47 days for us!

Last day in the 40's!!

I have my packing list and have started gathering the non-clothing items. I'm not sure I'll have enough room for clothes!

I swear I'm worse than the kids - I'm so excited I can't stand it. . My husband thinks I'm nuts

Happy Labor Day!

 

[jsgrand0]

Only 25 days!!! We added 2 nights room only before our package begins!! Can't believe it is so close! Haven't even made packing list...will start on that tomorrow! We will arrive late on Sep 30..staying to Oct 8!

 

[two*little*birds]

33 days to go...

A little sad we won't be doing MNSSHP this trip (done it twice before) but excited we'll be trying some other new things instead - i.e. SeaWorld and Legoland.

I've seen those envelopes. So adorble. What do you use them for exactly? I would love to have a reason...

Do you just make your own packing list? I have this one from the cruise boards that is quite lengthy that I guess I could modify...just curious what every one does.

32 days!

Do you have a link for those? I had it at one point and can't remember where I saw it.

I use them for tips for our mousekeepers at the resort!
make my own list, we travel a lot so its almost second nature to me for packing and I keep all my travel toiletries together in a small plastic box, just reload if needed and through in the bottom of my checked luggage!

Do you have a link for those? I had it at one point and can't remember where I saw it.

I found them on the DISigns forum....if you scroll to the bottom of the main pages you'll see their forum title...sorry I don't remember who's thread I found it on, I have had it for numerous trips, there are a lot of them who design them and lots of other really neat items for WDW and cruises!

 

[mommy2mrb]

ooops double post...

 

[Kathymford]

brain fog. I guess I need coffee afterall...

I can help with that. . . wait that sounded wrong.

What I mean is, go to bed,bath,&beyond or walgreens and get those bra hooks, they're only $10 and turn your regular bra's into razor back bra's. Also, my new VS cotton bra has a little hook on the back in the loop between the adjustable length strap and the strap to the back of the bra that's designed to latch onto the opposite loop in the same location (hook on left shoulderblade catches loop on righ shoulderblade).

48 days! I just love posting daily just to post my countdown!

DD and I made our countdown calendar today but for some stupid reason, I miscalculated when I was gluing my Mickey heads onto the calendar (thanks for the idea, Teri!) and only put up 40, so now we have to wait for our 40 day countdown to start crossing off days. DD still has to decorate a bit with me so I'll post a pic after we do that.

As for bras, I have a bra that you can switch the straps into a criss-cross so there is no need for a racer-back. You can use it strapless, halter, regular and criss-cross. You can get them almost anywhere anymore, really, but I think mine is from Kohls.

Ok, I'm off to bed. It's been a busy weekend!! Good night all!!

Hey, Kristen (and Lisa)!!! I actually have the cotton one by Victoria's Secret. But the bad thing about that....I need hubby to actually hook me up in the back. I can't quite do it myself. I know...sad. And it's actually the darker nude color, not the buff, so I don't like it that much.

I actually got two bras off the clearance rack!!! Nude color, razorback, front clasp for $5.48!!!!! I was soooo proud of myself. Gotta love Target. DD ended up with 5 total and I got 2 for myself. Two of hers were full price, but I can't blame her....they were pretty (and soft!).


As for packing lists.....I can't even remember where I originally got mine way back when. But it is the "ultimate packing list" and I love it. I have tweaked it for us: adding medications, changing the list to "call the bank", etc. If you want me to forward it to you, let me know.

I actually did gather some more things for our trip yesterday. And I started to actually pack. There is just so much going on between now and the time we leave: the kids started school today, we have Septemberfest on Saturday (it's a South Jersey thing), hubby and DS10 have Temple football games to attend, we are participating in road cleanups, oh...and I have to get Halloween costume!

You all have a great day!

50 Days !!!!!!!!!! My DDs opened their 50 day countdown gifts - $25 Disney gift card for F & W fest, Mickey panties and Minnie socks!!! This weekend I am heading to Kohl's and hope there are still summer items on clearance!

 

[im4kycats]

Wooo Hoooo! We are in the 30's - 39 days today!!!!



and . . . wait for it . . .


Creepy Guy!

I love him.

OK - I feel better. I wonder if I'll get any work done today?

We are on the Mickey Mail watch now.

We're at 38 today. Yesterday my DS made this proclaimation "We are officially in the 30s today! Only 39 more days! That is so awesome!"

Sometimes it's hard to believe he's only 6.


In costume news, I have begun painting DH's Ken shirt. It is taking forever! Right now it's looking like a light blue shirt with a bunch of blue peanuts painted on it. I think it will turn out great, though.

DS's Mickey pants ear hat is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. He stopped asking about it, so I'm hoping he forgets that he ever wanted it so it can be a surprise. DS tends to remember everything, though, so I'm sure it will come up. I may have to tell a white lie and say that they never restocked the hat. Of course, then DS will always remember that I lied to him about it. I mentioned to my MIL that I had showed DS his sister's hat and she asked if I was afraid he would tell DD about it. I told her that DS can't keep anyone else's secrets from me, but that he could keep my secrets. DS and I are besties.

I can't believe how close we are all getting to our trips! We are all going to have such a great time! A lot of us should be getting our ME tags and Mickey mail very soon!

Have a great day, everyone!
