Press 1 if you will be dining within the next 7 days!!

[princessjv]

Your going to Disney!

Glad to hear that you got the priorities right! Bummer that you still gotta get your 'stuff' together!

 

[sorul82?]

I believe I left off at the beginning of March. I decided that we didn't have enough pins, so I acquired some more off Ebay. Also, I ordered the wrong size Crocs for DS9, so I got him another pair. I ordered the 6/7 thinking this would be the next size after 4...as in big kids, not babies. I mean they had it listed after the 4. Next I ordered the W7/M5. He is a growing boy afterall, plus the M4 wasn't available. Well, those were a little big and since I had been coveting the kid's Mickey Crocs, I checked to see if the M4 was back in stock. And tah dah, it was! Great, now everyone has Crocs except DH, out of stock. Next it was time to focus on acquiring a camera. I let Mr. Slaw handle that one.

I tried to force myself to focus on the ADR's but it just wasn't happening. It's March Madness Baby, I couldn't think about anything except basketball. Speaking of which, did ya'll hear about the UNC mascot? He was walking back to the hotel from a store in NJ and was hit by a car last Friday. He died Monday morning. It is very very sad. I am pretty bummed. But back to early March, I still can't do ADR's; still too many choices. So what do I do? Shop some more! If anyone says that Disney is expensive, just say, "no, getting ready for Disney is expensive."

That is horrible!

Agreed!

We now arrive at mid-March. Since my b-day was the 19th, I decided to treat myself to a Bagallini. And I decided that Mr. Slaw needed some crocs and more pins. So, a few clicky clickies, and I had ordered more stuff for our trip. Best Buy had to go and put Disney dvds on sale, so I stocked up for our road trip. Oh, and I decided that I nor the children had enough lime green attire, so to Target I went. Now we arrive at this week. The clock is ticking which gets my blood pumping. The more I have to do, the more I get done. I'm still struggling with the ADR's, hence the name of this pre-trip report! I have dialed Disney Dining many times this week, each time taking great pleasure in pressing "1" since I will be dining withing the next 7 days. BUT, I still haven't nailed down a plan....too much going on in my spinning head. Ya'll will be happy to know that I have packed. Instead of carefully coordinating each outfit according to the park du jour, I just threw everything into the suitcases. I was going to do the zip loc bag thing, but I realized that must be for the younger kids. By the time I crammed shirt, shorts, socks, and undies into the bag, it was rather full-ish.

Now that we have arrived at today, as in we leave tomorrow, I am really in panic mode! You probably won't hear much from me til this evening. To top it all off, the temp agency just called and wants me to interview at 1:00. I would say no, but I really really need to get back to work after the trip. So, today I will be:

1. interviewing at 1:00
2. last minute shopping
3. oil change and inspection


Let's add my latest crisis: Easter! Do I buy everything today? What do I do with the chocolate? We plan to turn off the AC, so the house will get hot, hot, hot. But, I don't like to put choc in the fridge. Oh virtual friends, what do I do?

And my house is still a mess!

 

[TEminnie]

Hey--just hung up with Disney dining--and she said all restaurants are getting filled to capacity next week so to make any changes now. Tried to get into spoodles but not available till after 8... Too late for us.
I just PMd you about the croc exchange!
DD10 wants to know how old he is (now, i am on the wrong thread!)

 

[Katiebell]

Do you have a friend/relative/neighbor who will store chocolate for you in their cooler house? Better yet...do you have a friend/relative/neighbor who will BUY chocolate for you if you give them money and tell them what your kids like? That way you don't have to shop for rabbits right now...

Hurry, hurry, make your ADR's!!! (Waiting on the edge of my seat for the next installment...)

Don't worry about cleaning the house...get all the dishes washed and take out the trash...make sure there's no wet towels that will be lurking in the washer until you get home...and the house will still be there when you get back

PS...good luck on your interview

Plus have you really got a ton of bags???

1. interviewing at 1:00

You're probably there now, hope it all went well good luck

See now if you lived over here you would never have that decision to make Do they need chocolate this year we buy our DD's a pressie instead, could you give them to MIL?

And my house is still a mess!

Forget your house, even if you clean before you go it will be dusty by the time you return so why bother A friend of mine insists on changing all the bedding before she leaves on holiday even if she leaves at like 3am

You probably won't hear much from me til this evening.

Lastly if I've gone to bed before you come back have a great time and remember to do lots of singing and skipping

This is know as "Stress Shopping". I do this. Do I have enough....? You can always use more....? You're just like me!

I have dialed Disney Dining many times this week, each time taking great pleasure in pressing "1" since I will be dining withing the next 7 days.

I called Disney Dining last night and when I heard, "If you will be dining with us in the next 7 days, press 1" and I totally giggled and thought about you, S'late!

I was going to do the zip loc bag thing, but I realized that must be for the younger kids. By the time I crammed shirt, shorts, socks, and undies into the bag, it was rather full-ish.

Yeah, I only do it for the little ones. But I pack my clothing spreadsheet so I know what goes with what.

1. interviewing at 1:00

Good luck!!

Buy everything in Disney World! Easter's comin' early kiddies!

And my house is still a mess!

I say clean the house. I can't stand coming home from vacation all tired out and then having to clean the house as well as conquer the trip laundry! Just sayin'

See now if you lived over here you would never have that decision to make Do they need chocolate this year we buy our DD's a pressie instead, could you give them to MIL?

I do the same thing, Jo. Minimal chocolate and a couple nice little gifts.

A friend of mine insists on changing all the bedding before she leaves on holiday even if she leaves at like 3am

You say that like that's a bad thing?

 

[DisneyJo]
