Heels are easy to get a hang of but the pain in your feet never goes away

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!


Thank you! I am all packed and ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took a different bag this weekend so I wouldn't have to un pack then pack then un pack then pack

Makes sense! So you'll have lots of unpacking when you get home? Your dress was so cute! I love the color.

Yep I already unpacked from this weekend and unpacking from Disney will just be me throwing everything into the laundry so it shouldn't be too hard

The pictures of the campus are so pretty! I'm work at a university with 400 acres, so I get to take lots of pretty pictures especially when the Uni takes hikes.

Your dress is a wonderful color! Perfect for your skin, Caitlin (sorry for spelling your name wrong before).

Oh, and sory Dawn for the laundry chores.



Everyone ready for the countdown to turn to HOURS???

What university do you work at?

I loved the IU campus with all of the old buildings! Most of Eastern is either brand new or being redone so we don't have many buildings that look old and beautiful

Thank you! I love my dress

No problem about spelling my name wrong when you have a name with about 20 different spellings you get used to it

One Day!!!! See you THIS weekend!!!

I can't believe it! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it this all still seems unreal

Thank you! I did have a very good time

It's hard to believe but in just over 36 hours we will be on an airplane bound for WDW! I feel very blessed that we are able to go (AGAIN!) and that I have a DH who is so encouraging and supporting of our "girl's trips". While we're hanging with Mickey, he will be stuck at home with his worst work week of the year INVENTORY but despite that he's been nothing but excited for us

We're getting down to the wire and I think we're just about ready to go I checked the show times on Steve Soares website and filled in the itinerary, made our lgmh and stopped at the bank for singles for tipping housekeeping and bell hops. Tomorrow morning I'll be up early to do our adrs for August!

 

[dawnbu40]

So I posted about an hour ago how everything was set and I was thinking it was all going to go smoothly.....

Well.....I had out my Disney file and as I was looking at the airline reservation I noticed something I had missed before. When I booked online it had somehow given my mom our last name I went to the website and tried to see how I could fix it and there wasn't a way to do that. I called their "customer service" line and after a 40 minute wait got through. I explained the situation and told the rep I know my mom's name and would not have put the wrong name and that somehow their system had just assigned everyone our name. The rep told me she had to contact her supervisor because "WE NEVER CHANGE NAMES" When she came back she told me they would change her last name but it would cost me $75! On the positive side I guess it's good they didn't make me buy another ticket

Sorry about the name mix-up but just think:
There's no place like Disney...
There's no place like Disney...
There's no place like Disney...
There's no place like Disney...

Have a great trip!

Not only are we packed the car is loaded and ready to go to the airport

Well, that's not nice! They should have least considered the possibility. It's just a name change, easily done, they didn't have to charge you.

I understand not accepting word, but if you came with documentation to the airport check-in, they can easily issue a new ticket.

Like someone said, 'think disney, think happy thoughts!'

Hours Countdown!

 

[dawnbu40]

Thanks! I was pretty pleased that we got everything we wanted and they were all within 10 minutes of when we wanted them


24 hours from now we should be having lunch at Pop

Nice ADR's!
You'll have to tell us how the Clam Bake at Cape May's is...
I forget - are you doing Dining Plan this time around?

 

[WrightFamily06]

That darn Air Tran , that's terrible that charged you for the name change !

At least though everything is taken care of though and there should be no bad surprises 2moro only magical ones !

The ADR's for September look great there is a few on there we didn't care for but it's been a couple years since we have ate at them so I will be interested to see what you think of them

Thanks! We all like seafood and since we heard they added crab legs to the buffet, we decided to give it a try. We have free dining from our Bounceback offer but we do have more adrs then credits. Caitlin and I aren't big eaters so we'll share a couple meals, I have a gift card for TRex and at California Grill we're just going to do sushi and an appetizer.

Yes it would have been really bad if we had gotten to the airport and they hadn't let my mom board

We like to try new places each time we go so the only recent repeats are CRT and Tony's (dale loved it so much in sept he insisted we go back) and we haven't done LeCellier in about 8 years! I also think the food tastes better when it's free

 

[I Believe In Magic]

Have a safe trip!! Can't wait to see the updates. You guys are going to have so much fun!! Bring some of the sunshine back to MI please. lol
