:lmao: 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.

I need out of my office right now!!! It's like everyone from vendors to employees to customers want a piece of me today. And they are asking the most redundant and common sense questions. *sigh* I was thinking that the Labor Day weekend was quite nice, but now I think it was too short. :rotfl: It's okay, I just have to tough it out for a few more hours.

I need to go put on some Disney music......
 
I'll join in. I'm already done with this day. I'm already done with this week! :rotfl: I went to the dollar store again today (3rd one I've tried) and AGAIN they are sold out of ponchos!! :headache: I mean really, did people think the ponchos were going to help in the hurricane, or were all these people going to Disney??? :confused3 Anyway, I'll probably stick some in my Amazon order now.

So I ordered my Halloween tshirts for me and DH. Yay! :banana: We opted for fun shirts instead of costumes. So here they are:

Here is DH's: http://www.cafepress.com/+ceiling_fan_costume_dark_tshirt,167301530

and here is mine: http://www.cafepress.com/+ahoy_pirate_womens_vneck_dark_tshirt,171292829

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! :thumbsup2

OMG. You're pirate shirt is so adorable!! :love:

And I'll add: 31 days. Holy cow. I can't believe it's actually getting close!

I have a question for you all. If any of you have used Undercover Tourist for your park tickets...have you ever picked them up there? Or do you always mail?

This was my first time purchasing Disney tickets.
I used Under Cover Tourist and had the tickets mailed to my house. They arrived quickly and were cheaper than anywhere else I found.

Honestly..... I just needed to see my ticker. :lmao:

almost down to 30 days :woohoo:we're doing an anniversary trip too :love:

yes bought from them last yr and had mailed to me...super easy :thumbsup2
 
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. :cool1::banana::yay::woohoo::cheer2:
 
We are going to day early now, and I just changed my ticker.... YAY!!!!!:cool1:

I have started packing stuff, but not clothing yet. I am going to a friends on Thursday to try to print my transfers - I hope it works this time. popcorn::

Everything else is planned. So I guess I can go back to playing Farmville. :lmao:

We have started looking at next years dates already and I am thinking the end of April. I am hoping they will be offering a bounceback offer while we are there.

I have been able to get so many good ideas from the Disboards. I hope to run into some of you at Disney.

hope that means mine come tomorrow....we are right behind you!
 
OMG. So, big surprise in the mail today! Our Magical Express tags arrived. :cool1: And all I could think was "holy crap. We are really doing it. We are going to WDW!" I think it just made the trip all that more real to me! DBF thought I was nuts running around the house shouting "mickey mail! mickey mail!" LOL.

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.
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! :rotfl: WDW is a LOT bigger and more spread out, but I am sure you will get the hang of it! ;)

:banana: Oct 8 - 15 CBR - first time at WDW - where should we request to stay for easy transport to the park?
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!

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!
we used space bags and loved them!
 
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!!!!! :thumbsup2:cool1:

so for those talking about packing- here are some helpful hints to get ready before you go that i use to make sure I don't forget anything before I leave!

One week before…..remember to:

· Reconfirm ADRS
· Remind someone to check mail or put a mail stop through USPS

· Check any medications/prescriptions- anything need filled?
· Finalize plans and reconfirm for pets- kennel etc.
· Let school/day care know of absence- collect any work to be done
· Ensure pets shots up to date for boarding


DAY Before or DAY of…..remember to:

· Turn off lights or leave one on
· Turn off AC/Heat
· Turn off water if necessary
· Check sprinklers setting
· Water plants
· Unplug appliances
· Check windows
· Lock all cars
· Set alarms
· Lock gate/backyard
· Leave payment for lawn guys, petsitter etc.
· Write down all CC info, 800#s in case you lose it!
· Final packing!
· Print boarding passes
do doublecheck that you have park passes, CC, ID etc.

· Lock doors, grab bags and leave!
 
Hi October Peeps!

Well, I made a drastic move today (for me at least), I found some pretty good pricing in airfare and now we get to fly instead of drive!! Very exciting! I will take a 2 hour flight and a couple more hours for travel and hanging out at the airport any day over a 15+ drive each way. It's freaking me out a little-just b/c it was more money and I hadn't planned it-but I think it is the best move-if for no other reason than we won't be totally wiped from the long drive and having to go back to work-yuck!

Anyways....trip details...Me, DH, DS12, DS5 and DS4...

*10/22-10/29 POR (1st time) with FD
*ADR's made: Boatwright's, 'Ohana, Chef Mickey's, LTT, Mama Melrose's, Biergarten and Coral Reef
*MNSSHP tickets in hand
*Pirate League and Cruise reserved for DS5
*Schedule made and all ready to go

I'm as ready as I can be at the moment-happy planning to all!

Travel safe and have fun!

Congratulations, I think it's a great move to fly rather than drive. We considered this also, considering the weather should not be a factor. But we figured we'd be more rested by flying rather than driving.

I guess we will be neighbours, we are staying next door @ POFQ (same dates). We are also going to MNSSHP during our stay - we are going on Oct.23.

Enjoy your vacation!!!
