Please Help Me I'm at Risk

What's a Y.E.S. ticket?

I'm getting antsy! On Saturday, I checked my airlines to see how much it would be to get my flights changed to 2 days earlier and it wasn't half bad but I called WDW to see about adding a couple of days to my stay and it was almost $1000 - no way lol dang it.

My friend who I helped to plan for is there right now so I can't do any more with that. I ended up having Embroidered ears and an autograph book delivered to her daughter in their room. It's her first time there after all

Y.E.S. is Disney's Youth Education Series. There's a LONG thread about it on the Budget Boards. It's an opportunity for kids to attend a 3-hour class on property. Registration also entitles the entire travel party to obtain discounted park tickets....such a great deal!

The airfare was a killer for me too! I ended up booking with JetBlue for my flight to WDW, and Southwest for our return flight. I did manage to get a great DING! fare for the return.

We did the give a day promotion so will do the fast passes at all 4 parks.

I did buy wicking/coolmax shirts to help with the heat, of course this was a tip off the boards. I figure coolmax in the am and our disney T's for the evening.

My only possible planning thing would be to order a Slipper or a birthday cake for myself for one of our meals but we get dessert already and most places have fantastic choices for desserts plus how much do I REALLY wanna celebrate dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn turning 40?

I can't really think of more planning to do.

I tried to see about extending our visit by a day or two, but it was just too much $$ to justify it. I paid today. I guess pretty soon I can order my Disney Rewards card haha.

Three weeks! Just three weeks until our vacation!

All day long, I've been saying to the kids, "In exactly 3 weeks from now, we'll be..." (on a plane, checking in at AKL, riding the bus to MK, etc.......) I think they're getting a tiny bit sick of me! But y'all understand, right?

Since our ADR's were settled eons ago, I spent the day making a loose plan for our CS meals, according to which park we intend to be in each day.

Got any other ideas to keep me busy?

We will stay 7 nights at wdw then 1 night at universal, my dh and I are thinking of adding another night at universal.

The slipper sounds delish but we are on the dining plan as well, kind of hard to add more desserts.

Oh I checked rental rates today needing to add a day if we add the extra day and the rated had come down. We are picking up a car the day before we leave disney for universal and getting back to airport. Dollar.

Well I just did the Relay for Life and someone from our team walked the whole 12 hours. I noticed how similar the feeling was to walking around WDW after I came home to nap awhile... sore tired legs, swollen feet... only I'm not going back out to walk for hours again today like I would at WDW... are we nuts to love it so much?

Congrats. I'm looking for disney shoes.

I've done the overplanning thing and the procrastination underplanning thing. To tell the truth, we have always had a better time just winging it and eating wherever we could and going to whatever park we felt like that day....call me strange.

Oh, I plan EVERY last detail! I love the planning so much! BUT, when we get there, if there is a glitch and we can't do something on my plan, I don't sweat it in the least... I will NOT be one of the commanders who tells everyone where to be, and when... and then gives you just enough time to enjoy it before it's time to move on again... I want to be the preson with the plan that is there if we need/want it, but can totally abandon the plan in the interest of spontaneous family fun! It's a fine line, but I'm going to do my best to be that person!!

After neglecting thoughts about my trip for awhile I had a dream about it last night - well a nightmare. We were there on our first night having a great time when I remembered the Illuminations Cruise I had booked and MISSED

Now I am sure I will have a tough time convincing my kids to head that way when it's time to look for a decent spot to watch Illuminations. I may have to tell them on the way over haha

The dreams always come. My Niece and nephew have been visiting with us for the week so we have been quite busy. Ready to dig into my disney stuff.
