Forgot to mention that I used Amy's transfer papers for our June t-shirts. They are great. Just make sure you follow the directions. I have washed ours a few times and they still look as good as new.

oh thanks great to know. I am anxiously awaiting for them to arrive!

Just found your PTR (better late than never, right?) and how could I resist?! Anything from a fellow Phils/Eagles fan has to be good right?! My Dh leans more towards the Phils while I covet my season ticket so the Birds! We are a sports family, no doubt! So now I am really excited to find these NFl designs! We will be in Disney in Oct and the Eagles will be playing Monday night (away of course) so I am thinking some shirts might be in order!

Love all of your planning, I have gotten so many good ideas from you! I just might steal your packing list Since we are staying at the Dolphin, no ME for us but our ground transport will stop at a store on the way to the hotel, I plan to buy my diapers there (DS will be 18months, heaven help everyone on the plane with us!!)

Can't wait to hear more!! Love that there are so many locals around here! Oh and BTW was the garlic fest in the Poconos?!

Great lists! I love looking at other people's ride lists. Ours are very similar. I did my Ridemax plans for MK today, and I was amazed at how much you can get done in a day if you get there at rope drop. Our first full day there, we are basically touring from 9 am-1 pm with lunch in there too, then a big break to rest and do Ohana, then tour from 7 pm-9 pm. It says we can do 14 rides/shows in that time! It says all of Fantasyland can be done in 1 1/2 hours. And none of the waits it gave were over 15 minutes. I was very encouraged by that. We got so much done in that plan, that our other full day at MK is mostly repeats. I like this, because if we fall off the plan, we still have it scheduled in somewhere else. Anyway, just wanted to reassure you that you should get tons done!

Your DHS list is very similar to ours as well. You can tell we have boys, all this stunt show, Indy Jones, Jedi stuff! Although I actually did not put the Jedi training on ours. Griffin is really shy and won't want to get picked, but then he'll regret it when he sees what they do. Better to just dodge that bullet, I think! I hope you do RnRC. We went on it in 2001, and I remember it being awesome! We also took off Little Mermaid. I didn't realize it's a 30 minute show. I just don't know how many shows the kids can sit through, and I don't think they'll care if they miss Ariel. Griffin says all princesses are gross anyway!

Keep the lists coming, I love them!

 

[Porturican]

Hey there its your friendly SF Giants fan! thought I'd jump over to ur PTR from Devons Mommys PTR. I'm subbing in! Yayyy our trips our coming up SOON!

good to know about MK cause after I made the list I was like wow thats alot I want to accomplish. Now that I am writing everything out I feel like we dont have much time for anything between the meals, parades, naps, etc. So I am glad you posted those comments. I think we will be ok.

Yes it is all the fun boy stuff on the list so I guess thats why little mermaid got on there (for me) I dont know why I put in on cause the boys wont be too interested especially cause ryan go totally freaked out by ursula at disney on ice last year. Im sure that will be one we dont check off! It was worth a try though

Weekend of 9/12&13 I plan to pack. 9/13 is the first football sunday so out comes my sign......"we interupt this marriage for football season". My dh always goes to his friends house who has the football ticket so I wont see him much on sunday. Maybe I can talk my parents into taking the kids so I can have some time to do everything without being bothered. I can only hope.

Week of the 14th I have 2 dinners after work. (Drug reps sponsor these talks by physicians at fancy dining establishments). Cant pass these up. I have one tuesday and thursday. Other than that I plan to chill and relax. If thats what you call it!

How is everyone else's plans coming along?

Looks like you are good to go!!!

I love the ......"we interupt this marriage for football season". To funny!!! I too am planning everything around the Eagles game!! Nothing will get done those days, so I am not even going to plan to do anything... Everything will either be done the day before or after!

Ah!! One of my best friends is a drug rep... Yeah, you can't pass up those dinner!!! Way to good!!

My planning is going pretty well I think... Just wrote a list of things I need to do before we leave, so I am hoping to post that in my TR by tomorrow... I seriously feel like I have so much to do that I am going to forget something or not have enough time to get it all done, but then on the other hand, I feel like our trip is still SO far away!!

 

[jana616]

Your plans sound great! I have our Ridemax plans, but I think maybe I need something like this on index cards or something, small to fit in my bag. You'll never confused about where you should be next! I don't even have all our confirmation #s in one place yet!!!

I know you told me to stay off the boards this morning, and you were SOOO right, but I mopped, cleaned 2 bathrooms, and have done 1 load of laundry so far (in an hour and 15 minutes), so I decided I get a break!

I hear you on the drug rep dinners. My DH is a vet, so they get those a good bit, and sometimes the doctors wives get to come-yum! One time they took the entire clinic (like 30+ people, and spouses) to St. Elmo's Steakhouse, which is way $$$$). The total bill was $4,600! Is that insane or what? And we wonder why drugs cost so much? So two in one week, enjoy! Just getting you ready for all the good food headed your way at WDW, right?!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Your plans look great! Everest is awesome.

Love the football sign...that's hilarious.

 

[Gabes_mommy]

Your plans look great - you are so organized, I am officially impressed.

That Football sign is CLASSIC! Love it! Good luck getting your parents to take the kids for the day. My Inlaws had my DS for the whole day last Sunday and it was so nice to have some me time.
