Our Oct and Dec Pre-Trippie, It’s a Two-fer! UPDATED - need luggage help!

[WDW Poly Princess]

I'm so excited that we're going at the same time! Everyone else seems to be a few days before or afte me!


I see that you were smart enough to reserve BCV back when it was still available!

On the Crocs- be sure to break em in before the trip! (Lesson learned the hard way!) The little bumps under your feet are so uncomfortable to me at first, but a couple of miles of walking in them wears them down to be much more comfy! Also, throwing em in the dryer or putting them in hot water for a while helps make them softer! I totally recommend trying them on at the mall, though- sometimes even among pairs that are the same size, one pair just seems to fit better than the other.

Have you tried eBay for Disney luggage? I just did a search, and a ton came up!


Your son is SO cute! I hope you're planning to take a billion pictures of him at the World!

Thanks for the tips on the Crocs - you know I would have not broken them in!! That would not have been fun!

We were so excited to get BCV!! We are DVC, and had to wait until we were 7 months out from the trip (b/c it's not our home resort). . . I love the location and being in walking distance from MGM and Epcot. We've stayed at the Yacht Club before, but never at Beach Club, so it will be a new expirience for us! We are very super duper excited!!!

I'm going to check e-bay now. . . that's a really good thought! Thanks!

Thanks for reading! I cannot wait until DS is your daughters age. Right now he is almost sitting up on his own, and he wants to be mobile so badly, but cannot crawl yet. He LOVES Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Club House! He's going to be great fun at Disney!

Hi! I'm fairly new to the boards and kind of a lurker though I have stepped up the comments lately! Anyway, found your Pre TR through your siggie, when you posted somewhere else. Enjoying it so far. Subbed!

Anyway, if your son likes Little Einsteins, you might want to do the character meal at Hollywood and Vine in MGM. It features Little Einsteins, as well as JoJo and Goliath. Just a heads up.

More Halloween week pre-trip reports are popping up. It's common knowledge that all the smart and cool kids hit WDW on Halloween week (and now I just offended eveyone not going that week)

I'll be down that week, but I'm way too lazy to do the pre-trip report thing. Instead, I'll try to keep up and follow along with these reports that are popping up.

Keep writing, and I'll keep reading ...

Thanks for coming out of hiding! I was thinking about ressies at H&V, but little kiddo is only going to be 10 months. . . and I don't know if he is going to connect the small figures on TV to the real "characters" at H&V.

I think maybe our October 2008 trip will be our first H&V ressie (we are planning on staying 10 days! It'll be our first LONG Disney trip!

Awesome - you will probably see us lugging around munkin and all his gear. . . our first vacation with him should be very interesting!

Do you have kiddo's? Is this your first Halloween trip? We've been during Halloween a few times, but have NEVER been to MNSSHP (if you can believe that!) What kind of Dis'ers are we????

Thanks for reading!

I'll be reading along. Are the grands going to sit or are you staying all together?

Sounds like a plan!

For October: My parents are really big into Disney, especially my dad. So, I think we will be staying together for the most part. Although, for our anniversary on the 29th we will be splitting up, and DH and I are going to have a special dinner. But, I've been to Disney with my parents many times and they hold up fairly well!

For December: My In-laws are not that crazy about Disney, and I think that we will be together most of the day, but I am currently scheduling that DH and I will be going out in the evenings alone for MH's.

Did I mention that I love evening Magic Hours!!??? Heck ya I do!

No kids for me (that I know of) ... I'm living the gloriously fun life of the single corporate fast-tracker, full of 60 hour work-weeks, global business travel, and neverending project deadlines

My parents have a nicely sized R/V that they take down to WDW ~once a year. I'm flying down to meet them in Ft. Wilderness for Halloween week. This will be Halloween in WDW #2 for me. We did the same last year.

With all the pressure and stress associated with my job, WDW is one of those few places to escape it all. Between staying on site, and DDP, pretty much everything is taken care of for the week, and I don't need to follow anything about the outside world.

Halloween week has good weather, low crowds, and my fav ... the F&W Fest. It was a no-brainer to to visit with the parents again during that week. We have some relatives who are DVC'ers, and I'm pretty sure they are going to be staying at the BCV during that week as well.

No MNSSHP for us, but we'll be hitting the Aventurer' Club on 10/31. Last year we did the Haunted Hayride at FW on 10/31, which was great, but could be very intense for smaller kids.

As far as the luggage goes...DD doesn't have her own. We pack it in with ours. So, DH usually has his own and DD and I share. Although for this trip I am going to mix the suitcases so if one gets lost one of us doesn't lose all our clothes. It would probably be mine too with my luck!

Does anyone know where I can get some cute Disney luggage for DS and his gear????

Hi Married Him...I found you from Dawn Maree's TR! I love the baby pics and the wedding pics! I hope someday one of my daughters wants to get married in Disney! So what did you decide about DS's luggage???

 

[__disneygirl]

Hi! I just discovered this pre-trip report and i'm really enjoying it. I love the idea of doing a two-fer! I've never seen anything like that on the boards. Also I must say that your son is just adorable! He's perfect! I loved looking at your wedding pictures also... my DREAM is to have a Disney wedding one day and you looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to read more

Hello - I love reading other Pre Trip REeports, especially those going the same month as me. We're December bound too. Can't wait to hear more.
