Sept 2007 My Affair w/Mickey -- Complete!

[Trentmom]

My DH laughed at me too. I wonder how many bags SW will let us check per person? I really need to find out some of these logistical things.

Yeah, it is mostly alphabetized...I'm anal that way....the only ones that aren't are the ones I modified -- got to fix that!!

I'm hoping to do one large suitcase, one smaller one, one carryon and my purse. DH will have another large one.

So 4 suitcases for the 3 of us!

When I told DH I wanted to just do 3 suitcases, he laughed at me...

Here ya go rentyanta:

For each ticketed Customer, Southwest allows three (3) checked pieces with size limitations for each individual piece.

Marshay...did DH laugh, because he thinks there is no way you are going to get away with so few bags

Tell me something..did you actually sit and alphatize them or did you put them in a program that does it for you

Thanks for the info on the 3 bags...hmmm, we can take more now!!

Yes, DH laughed b/c he knows we need more -- actually, he said he wants one bag just for all the camera and video equipment, one for his clothes, one carryon and a personal bag -- that's 4 bags just for him!!!

I just combined all my packing lists into one in Excel and yes, I sat there and put them in alphabetical order and thought nothing of it to do so!!! But now that you guys are all commenting on it, I guess it is a bit ******** to do that...

So we could take 15 bags? for the info. I wonder what the size limitations are. Thus far I have 2 fully packed, DH will have one, and I see 3 more for the kids and I. I also have to check a fairly empty one to bring goodies home in. DH has to bring his clubs too. So it looks like we might get by with 8 including the clubs.

Wow....we took one large, one small and one carryon.........

My DH would flip if I tried to take that many bags...


It is not ********...I was just would have no patience for that. I think in access or excel, even...there is a feature where it would alphatize itself for you

Wow....how many people are going??

I am not sure on the measurements...but if you have a normal set of luggage, then don't see a problem.

Just keep each weight under 50 pounds, or you will be charged a fee....

We were right at 50 with one

Yeah, but that would have been too easy!!!

we always carry an extra bag (duffel or large purse) in case our suitcases are close to 50 pounds...then if we need to we take some stuff out of the suitcase and put it in the bag and take it on the plane with us -- it beats paying extra $$$$ for the overweight bag.

Ok, that makes sense.

Me and my dirty mind! Sorry!

I went there too Tat!!!

There are 5 of us. I think we'll be closer to 7 or 8 including DH's clubs.

That is a fantastic idea! I plan on packing or checking an empty one for all the stuff we'll be bringing back.

Awesome! I am glad you found something! Are the people there nice?

They all seem very nice. They are super busy, so I have not talked to all of them..but they all say Hi and how are you and normal stuff....

It pays well...so that is another plus

So today I went to Wal-mart and bought some Micky Mouse Clubhouse figurines for DD, her toothpaste, body glide stuff, blister bandages and 2 tank tops.

And how could I forget the Disney Trivia cards on my packing list? They are great for waiting in lines. I'm doing my final laundry tonight and then packing tomorrow.

Now going to watch The Illusionist, as it is due back at the library this week.

Disney Trivia cards...what a great idea

I had a dream 2 nights ago....I was reading the dis and saw it said you only had one more day til your trip and I ran out to the computer in a panic in my dream, to make sure I wrote you a goodbye message..

I was so afraid I had missed you

Actually, I had trivia cards on my list...just had to get them out of the game boxes.

Well, if you saw any of the FDM (Fuzzy Disney Math) going on over on RentaYenta's TR, you'll see that we only have 2 more days to Disney, so it's getting so close!!

Today I laid out the clothes for DD and me to wear, coordinating the colors. DH reluctantly said he would do the same. This should make it a bit easier for us to find each other -- no more, hmmm, what was he wearing! (And our pictures will look better too!)

Also, my DH surprised me today with this -- our light-up green MH for the stroller! He made it tonight all by himself!!

And here is what it looks like not lit up:
