I'm so excited!!

Random question: Has anyone been in the last few months and seen if they still offer the Attractions+ photo package on site? We don't want the full Memory Maker.

Ok, after a year of counting down, we can finally say....WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY NEXT MONTH

I have been kind of MIA from this thread for this very reason...we booked in September of 2013 for this year...OH MY GOODNESS has it been a long year...but WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY NEXT MONTH!!!!

Omg...it's been tough, I ask him every other week, "What do you want to do for your birthday?" and the only response I ever get is Disney lol.. and I have to lie and say "Sorry to expensive, cant do that!"
But I have planned a scavenger hunt and everything ;] He will getting all his clothes for me to pack himself too, I made a list of what I wanted him to grab. Im so excited I cant wait

I am surprising my kids too! They know we are going to Disney but they think we are going March 2015...this will be our second visit...I made a countdown calendar and everything with a ridiculous number on it (started at like 365 and it's down to 233) and the kids have NO IDEA. My daughter said she had a dream that we went to Disney early so I've been on high alert afraid she's been hearing our planning!! LOL I think it was a fluke though because because then she started whining that March was so far away! Ahh! We are going to wake the kids up the day of the trip...I'm still not sure how I'm going to tell them though, I like the scavenger hunt idea!!

I sooooo relate this!

I sooooo relate this!

I also feel empty having nothing to stress about first it was ADRS, and if we would get BOG and Ohana and all our other must-do places (which we did). Then if and when FD would be announced and waking up to get on hold to hope that our resort wasn't sold out by the time I got it (which also went smoothly). Then FP+ day! got everything we wanted no problems. I guess I could stress about packing and not forgetting something

Which is exactly why I've already started packing!!

 

[robndani]

I feel the same way! Did ADRS, then just did FP. Now what? I guess go to Etsy and order some shirts for the family!

39 Days!

44 Days and time for the last of the prep.

We are flying out of Chicago (Midway) and are planning on staying at a hotel the night before with a sleep and fly deal, and leaving our car at the Hotel during our stay. I came across a site that is 20-30 bucks cheaper but have never heard of them before.

Has anyone ever used stay123.com before? I am all about saving money, but want to make sure they are legit so we are not stranded in Chicago the night before out vacation.

I've never heard of stay 123 before, but I did a search on Midway for around your date and it came up with three hotels, two of which I am familiar with. The one in Countryside is a few miles from our house and a nice hotel in a safe area. The one in Willowbrook is a little further away from Midway, probably another ten minutes away, and okay, too. I don't know anything about the hotel that is close to Midway.

Thanks, That helps a ton. We go into downtown every couple of months for a day trip, my boys love the tall buildings and the beach, but don't know much about the midway area.

Thanks for the input.

I finally got a PIN, unique offer code, whatever it is called. I was so excited, but am not going to change a thing. I wanted one so bad back in May when I wanted to go to POR or POFQ, but now I am super excited for POP!!!!

At least I made the list. Hopefully I will get one earlier in the planning stages next time.
