31 days! tomorrow i can finally book our off site arrival night hotel on points. Its getting real! Like 2 weeks ago I invited my daughters boyfriend to join us. I was able to get him a room at POP and are reservations are linked so hopefully we will be close to each other. I got his Fast Passes set up to over lap ours, and yesterday I was able to get a single BOG PPO Breakfast. I have rearranged our dining plans to stretch our free dining to cover the 5 of us rather then just 4. I think I am all set except for the offsite hotel and MNSSHP tickets.

Sat 9/9: Arrival at Offsite Hotel, Dinner at Friendly's
Sun 9/10: Check in at POP, spending morning doing photo shoot with Daughter, MNSSHP @4
Monday 9/11: Blizzard Beach, Relax at the resort
Tuesday 9/12: Animal Kingdom RD, DHS later in the day
Wednesday 9/13: PPO BOG, Mk till noon, Epcot afternoon, Back to MK for HEA and EMH
Thursday 9/14: Typhoon Lagoon, Disney Springs

I wont bore yall with my spreed sheet of how to use QS and Snack credits to fed 5 people on credits for 4

Oh goodie...'cuz I may have you know 1 spreadsheet for park hrs plus what parks at what days and includes events going on (EMM, EMH, MNSSHP, HHN complete with color coding too) and then another one with all the attractions/shows/walk-through stuff listed for all the parks plus it's color coded for Tier 1 and Tier 2 FPs plus coded as MS=Must See and TP=Time Permits, then another 1 with all the shops I'm interested in going to including CityWalk and DS, another 1 for all the places to eat (with TS highlighted).

THEN there's the MS Word documents and lord we don't even want to get into those.

And because we're going to both WDW and Universal...yeah it's a lot of info

LOL! and ours are at a complete standstill! Website says it's one stop delivery...we will see. I've seen many posts about them traveling over the place before they land where they are supposed to.

First post -- but we're leaving in 26 days, Sept. 4-9 staying at POFQ. So excited, we go every September, but got Magic Maker for the first time. My husband is a photographer by trade so has always been skeptical, but I want him in some pictures this time

Oh and our Magic Bands haven't BUDGED in like 5 days.

 

[prettypatchesmsu]

Our Magicbands just shipped today! I know it takes forever for them to be delivered, but I'm excited to get them and decorate them!

We arrive the next day and leave the 14th. We are staying at PoP.

Since so many of us are looking for things to occupy ourselves with... How about we start a conversation about what we are most excited to be bringing to WDW? A lot of you have mentioned travel bins, wardrobe, etc so maybe we could see what everyone's bringing. It may just jog someone's memory who would have forgotten something!

Yes! I've treated myself to 2 new pairs of ears (rose gold and sequin Marie), a cute t-shirt that says "Belle is my BFF" with some roses on it, so I have to track her down, Target has the best selection of men's Disney t-shirts so I grabbed an Ariel one for my husband. He wore it last night to see a band play and all of his hipster friends loved it (lol). I grabbed a poison apple polka dot print t-shirt @ Uniqlo that is GREAT, I also have my Epcot Adidas sneakers ready to go, a snap back baseball hat that says VILLAIN on the back (I'm a #VILLAINGIRL), a t-shirt on the way that says "race you to the castle" with a cute glittery castle AND finally I got Mickey and Minnie monograms for our Magic Bands. But you know, there's still 26 days to go...I'm trying to convince my husband we need Disney tattoos next

Oh my goodness you are going to look so cute in 26 days!! I'm definitely also trying to convince my DH on Disney tattoos

Sounds like some great Disney themed stuff, I don't really have too much for this trip.
I'm trying to do a Disney tattoo I have a space above my ankle for it I just need to come up with the design. I was thinking the castle silhouette and a bit of that water colour effect but I did think of trying to do WDW, DLR and DLP Castles combined somehow.

So are you saying we should take a quick run to Target?? Those shirts sound awesome!!!

I have a Tinkerbell tattoo but I want a Mickey...just havent decided where yet..lol

 

[Bex258]

I'm loving the t-shirts on target. I really want the Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers one. There's a Mickey women's one that I could have sworn I saw in Forever 21 on the US site about a month back that I really like, maybe it was Target I was looking at.

Still don't fully understand Junior women's sizes though, same with Hottopic (their conversion chart gives me odd numbers....we don't do womesn sizes in odd numbers) I'm usually a UK 10 so a US 8.
Also Targets small children sizes....I'd be buying for my friends little girl so I don't know her height/weight but she is 2 in September but I'm buying ahead slightly so would 2T/3T be the right size?

Junior sizing is similar to a teen girl. So precurves, prebaby lol. So smaller.

I have a 2yo and she's in 2t, some 3t (like tees bc they run small).

 

[disneydarling07]

So these are the headbands that we found at Five Below that we are going to use as Mickey Ears..lol

 

[amyharris0919]

My big update: FINALLY got our air fare booked! That is such a huge weight off my shoulders!! I've been enjoying reading everyone's posts about what they're excited about bringing along. I think I'm most excited about today's other purchase, new luggage!! OMG, we have needed new luggage for so long! Got a 4-piece set, then splurged and also got myself a 3-pc set in a pink leopard print.

Quick question...if any of you have an SLR camera, how do you carry it around the park? I typically just hang it around my neck, but that gets pretty tiresome by like mid-afternoon!
