Hi all September travelers! Been a long time since I've been here, but ours dates changes to the end of October. Everyone have a blast in September!

Are we a support group, or enablers?

There is Diser who does amazing work on invites & announcements - she made some beautiful ones for our trip - MNSSHP, going to Disney announcements... no charge - she puts you child's name on them to make is personalized... then all I do is copy into word & print... is going to add that extra magical touch to our trip for sure... here is the link...

Thanks to all of you enablers, I am sick and getting worse. Yesterday in church, I was trying to find hidden Mickeys in the ladies dress in the pew in front of me. DD leans over and says, "Give it up Mom, those are polka dots, they don't connect." What? They do at the seams...

Then today Marriott hotels sent me an email with this in the note field, 'Pop out of town'. Thank you, I will - in 5 weeks!

Check out the link I posted above - she can make things with your girls' names on them - invites, announcements... then all I am doing is copying them into word and printing out on card stock - will probably fancy up the edges with scrapbook scissors and then laminate them... here is her main page... with the ones she made for us about half way down it...

I love her work BUT.... I am thinking this the vacation of surprises. Unless Robin and Norma wanna tell the kids everything we are doing I think I wanna just surprise them with the park we are going to, and when it's time for our ADR's just say I think we are getting dinner...Hmmm maybe with Cinderella right now. I just wanna surprise them. I am thinking If Robin and Norma don't object, we will land in Orlando and head to baggage(aka Mickey bus) and girls will probably say "oh mom don't u wish U were seeing Mickey" and I will say yes.....hmmm beach , Mickey beach , mickey(holding hands out like I am weighing my options and then say well of course Mickey wins....."Anyone with me???" hoping all the kids will start saying yeah yeah and we will run to the bus..... ok that was my movie scene


Julie I thought u were surprising them.....why the going to WDW announcments???

Oh we are... just getting this stuff done a head of time and will give throughout trip... here's my movie scene...

~~ Headed to Portland, ME to do shopping for the weekend - sister & sister-in-law & fams joining cause its just what we all do normally... lol... go to Chucky Cheese Friday night for Daniel's bday, get up the next morning & have bfast out somewhere... on way back to hotel, our minivan starts to act up (according to the paranoid mom... )... our hotel is near the airport so we will just pull into airport parking lot because I don't want to drive too far (we've had car die on us while travelling before)...

I get out to check, all kids in my van cause they will want it that way... other parents get out of the other van with bags and stuff to give them... I tell them they need to get out of van because there is a problem - they need to take another vehicle... oh heck - why not a plane! Who wants to go back to school / work - lets go to Florida instead... ~~

now whether that works the way we want, WHO KNOWS...

Made our final payment today! We offically have 46 days to go from here, and I feel like time is going to fly from here on out!

DH has been working crazy amounts of overtime this past week and it looks like it is going to continue throughout this week as well! I am not complaining because all of this will pay off the rest of DS's birthday party as well as give us a little extra spending money while never even touching his paychecks.. which in turn gives us even more spending money! Mommy is definitley very happy about this

 

[jp'smommy]

39 DAYS!! I am beyond excited! So, I work at a small bank and have been going to check with tellers to see if they have any pretty new pennies. I want shiney pennies for the penny press!! They have been looking at me like I am crazy.

Its soo exciting!!

 

[MissLiz]

Just checking in!!!

We have been in the absolute panic of school shopping this past week. School doesn't start until next Monday, but we have a super packed week this week. DD9 has dance three full days the end of the week to start rehearsing for the company's winter show and then we have a full weekend, so this weekend was it for us.

Of course, all of the clothes I bought for school are going to double as vacation clothes, so in my world, I was really shopping for vacation!

DH is taking the car to have the windows tinted on Wednesday. His main reason is that it's really hot on our drives down to WDW.

We got our Sunpass in the mail last week, so we are ready to go! Kind of.

 

[Elianor]

32 days til Disney! I can't believe we are so close now! I don't have a single free weekend between now and the trip between a family visit to Fayetteville, a family visit to Memphis and two medieval reinactment events between now and Disney!

Just 4 weekends to go. Wow.

Ohhhhhh I love it!!!!! That is awesome!!! I am getting so excited. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this sound board and Robin and NOrma to call daily with our thoughts. Not sure how the 3 of us are keeping it quiet cause we are so stinkin giddy with excitement.

34 days to go!!!!! We got our ME packets while I was at the beach last week, now just have to run down to the mailbox to see if there is any other Mickey Mail there. We got our MNSSHP tickets this week and we are going on the 13th. We have ADR at WCC (WL) for 5pm and will head over on the boat right after dinner....I am so excited to check out the party I have heard and read so many good things about it.

The party IS awesome! I did MVMCP last year and wasn't nearly as impressed as the MNSSHP. I think it really adds to it that so many guests get into the mood by dressing up. Seeing the villians is the highlight for me!
The parade is simply the best Disney parade by far. Be rested and you will have a blast!

 

[mickeymouseclubhouse]

We got our Magical Express tags today

36 more days....the girls are so excited they finally get to start the 30 day countdown on Sunday so I guess I better get busy and make the calendar and find all my colored Mickey heads LOL

 

[Marblies]

Oooooo, I want Mickey Mail in the worse way. We arrive on the 14th, so it should come soon.
