whats a pressed penny book??

I'm wondering that too. I didn't know there was a book for them.

I'll begin on Thursday night the 20th, since we plan to leave around 7 or 8 p.m. on Friday the 21st. Due to arrive sometime in the early afternoon on the 22nd.
I have to work until Thursday and still finish getting the bathroom here at home ready for the contractor to start the remodel while we are at WDW.

LOL, we usually go in April - I pack our suitcases while putting away our summer clothes in October! When the wind is howling and the snow is coming down, it's so nice to think of those packed suitcases sitting under the bed...

pressed penny books hold all the pennies you can "press" from various machines around the "World" Disney World that is. Or other vacations as well. (We started at Disney but have books with pennies from road trips out west, etc.) All the resorts have machines, all the parks, DTD, water parks. . .not sure where else. It just cost fifty cents plus your penny altho some machines have pressed quarters for $1 plus your quarter I think. most are pennies. way cheap souvie and kids love it.

There is a list of each and every penny machine and what penny press they offer but I don't remember it off hand. just google WDW pressed pennies and it should pop up.

DD is already in bed for night but I think each book holds 64 pressed pennies. Hers is full. She's getting another this trip. She just focused on the countries in Epcot last time.

oh and those mini M&M tubes? they hold quarters and pennies great. stack 2 quarters and then 1 penny and then 2 quarters and 1 penny. . .

I must really need a vacation!!!

I'm not going to Disney until June and I want to start packing now.

We'll be doing a 4 night Disney cruise and 4 nights in WDW this summer. We made reservations 18 months out for the cruise. I've been putting stuff away since! New t-shirts, laundry detergent samples (from Target), baggies,.... stuff bought specifically for the trip that we won't be using until then. If you actually start packing now, I'd be sure you had a detailed list of what you have packed.

Me Too! 19 months out I started collecting Pirate gear, bag for the parks... never too early!

Maybe I'm wacky, obsessive or plain bored... I recently became a stay at home mom and so I have a ton of time on my hands it seems like. I find myself going to the store going... 'Oh, I could use this when I go to Disney' I've placed all these things in a box and basically I'd only need my clothes and passport and I'd be good to go!

My trip is in late September, lol... I'm crazy!

Well, I normally start the month before and I gradually add things to the suitcase. I have a really detailed check list that my DH made to ensure I dont forget anything. But I still get soooo excited I start early!
