Where are you staying?
See, nothing to difficult. It's not like it's a pop quiz!!!!
(can you guys tell I need to escape the nuthouse today?)
can I join you....my DD last day of summer vaca today....I'm so ready for a bit of quiet around the house!!
We leave in 28 days Staying at Pop Century Oct 5th - 15th 
Soooo ready!!!!
we are at 36 days
My hubby was practically bouncing for joy this morning: it was the first day of school for us (all three kids go) and he is Mr. Mom; so, now he gets peace and quiet for about 3 hours a day. Poor thing. It's okay, I just have to tough it out for a few more hours.
I went to the dollar store again today (3rd one I've tried) and AGAIN they are sold out of ponchos!! 
I mean really, did people think the ponchos were going to help in the hurricane, or were all these people going to Disney??? 
Anyway, I'll probably stick some in my Amazon order now. We opted for fun shirts instead of costumes. So here they are:

I'm thinking I might add a bandana to mine and call it a day. I thought it was cute.
Well off to a meeting!
So I ordered my Halloween tshirts for me and DH. Yay!

Honestly..... I just needed to see my ticker.
we're doing an anniversary trip too we're doing an anniversary trip too 
How exciting to receive Disney mail! We received our luggage tags and travel info today. We bought extra batteries for the camera at Amazon and they came today too. DH and I are sooo excited and time is flying.
i felt that way at DLR last weekend. I know WDW inside and out pretty much, especially since I worked there and drove around quite a bit. But I felt completely lost at DLR and had to *gasp* actually look at a map! lol!OMG. So, big surprise in the mail today! Our Magical Express tags arrived.
On another note, we went to DL today just for a visit (we are local after all), and all I kept thinking about is how weird it's going to be to be at a park where I have no idea where everything is like the back of my hand. LOL. I told DBF he has to study the maps so we don't look like the usual newbies.
Have a great, and safe holiday weekend everyone.
WDW is a LOT bigger and more spread out, but I am sure you will get the hang of it! When we stayed at CBR, we enjoyed staying in Jamaica or Aruba and walking over to the Old Port Center across the main bridge, it was such a pretty walk each am to get breakfast! I think there are buses that stop all over at each section, but not sure which has the fewest stops!
we used space bags and loved them!So I think we are 33 days away today; will have to check my ticker after I post. Yikes! That sounds so close!
And at this point, I feel that I've done all the planning I think I can do; well, at least until after the first MNSSHP reports start coming in! So I've focused my OCD/DIS board obsession to packing.
I was reading some older posts about packing folders and cubes. And I would love to try them. Do any of you use these? People suggested checking Marshals and TJ Maxx for discounted ones, but I went today and couldn't find them near the luggage items. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place?
Please feel free to give me insight on any tips you all may have!
Wow ME tags, people in the 25s already! i can't believe we are getting so close! We are at 38 days, i can't believe I am in the 30s!!!!!
