We are soooo proud of Justin...he has autism...didn't talk until he was 7 and now he has graduated WAY TO GO JUSTIN

That is fantastic! Congratulations to Justin and your whole family!

Wow for keeping a secret!! I did it one time. It worked until we got to the airprot. Than they knew where we were going since we don't go anywhere else. LOL

49 days!!!!

I am altering my dining ressies, curse of planning! always trying to figure out what i would like and what would be a bigger bang for my disney dollar!

ps. to all you SAHM i applaud you. my ma didn't homeschool me, but she was president of PTA, my brownie troop leader, always involved. Your kids will cherish all of the time they share with you. I know I am so thankful for every moment I had with my mom

72 days left today! My ADR's are done, no more switching around. I am so happy with how they turned out. I offically ordered my MNSSHP tickets for 9/27. I also gave up and ordered matching shirts for the halloween party off of etsy. Now that Ive finished all that, I feel like I have nothing left to do but wait!

60 day mark!

DH has gotten involved in putting together the packages for the kids. So far we have little mister fans, a couple of pins, and some stickers and a tshirt for ds. I'm still trying to find some new jammies that the dd will like and possibly a disney tshirt.

I can't pack yet. I've been losing weight (5 pounds so far) and I have no idea what's likely to fit in 2 months!

I've been not so active on here (work's been busy) but I hope to keep up better now that things have calmed a bit.

Too funny....I was just thinking this past weekend that I really need to get the suitcases out to get stuff packed!!! My DH thinks I am crazy but without me, where would he be? I do ALL of the planning Happy packing to the rest of our September group!!
67 more days!!!!:cool1:

WAY TO GO JUSTIN!!! So wish I was gonna be there but work insists I stay and work and I am making Disney spending money and all....Can't miss out on that.

Also what Norma fails to tell you is our kids know they are going somewhere but their somewhere they think is Daytona beach. I have just told mine it's cheaper to fly to Orlando so we will rent a car and drive to Daytona...Haha Daytona....wait till they see me walk to the Disney bus or if we decide to tell them on the plane....we'll see....would love to just drive to the entrance but that means renting a car for no reason. Anyhow---yeah us for not telling our kids....we have so many surprises for them...we have each bought things for all 6 of them....they will forget about the cruise and FE cause we are providing the FE!!

Last night, DH and I decided that there will be no more ADR changing!!! We are done!! Of course I have to force myself to not look at the website to check availability, but whatever....

I do have a couple that I will have to cancel if my DSIL, DBIL, and DN decide that they aren't going, but I'm not replacing them if we do.

I made that SAME decision last night!!!

I am such an indecisive person but I have decided I am happy with what I made and no going back!!!

I looked at my list realized my entire trip was planned around food and no time for the "fun". What is the point? So I cancelled all the lunch ADR's and kept only dinner.

Now my only planning is buying clothes!!!

The only thing I'm looking to change is I have a lunch and would prefer a dinner on that day since we are doing PL. I'm stalking the cancle thread on the dining boards.

Question, my SIL decided rather late that she wanted to join us at Disney. I already had our agent book our dining and by the time she asked to join we weren't able to just add her on. Part of me wants to tell her "oh well I told you to decide earlier" but on the other hand she is flying with my MIL from England to meet us there...

So the question is, if we cant get her on the reservations is it really that big of a deal to just show up with her and ask them to squeeze an extra chair in? My other thought was that I have a 3 year old and he is pretty small. So he could really sit on one of our laps or just squeeze in where ever. We of course are continuing to try to get her onto reservations but so far we have had little luck.

Yes and no. It would depend on the restaurant, their seating and the fire codes.

Wow, that's big time! Congratulations!

Thank-you!!!

62 Days for us! Almost at the 2 month mark!

I don't know about anybody else but this trip seemed so far off but I feel like our summer here is flying by! We have been so busy that the trip seems to be creeping up on us! Once we hit 30 days I'll make the countdown calendar for the girls...doesn't seem too far our for them that way

I really need to find all my little Disney piles of stuff and organize them into one place before the trip to make packing easier, lol I'm alway so last minute with that stuff

We are also attending 9.27 MNSSHP and will be buying our tix once get to WDW. We are turning our tix to APs and will be taking the advantage of little discount. Anyways, we had the same thought. Matching t-shirts for MNSSHP. It's too hot during that time in FL and I don't think I could survive in our costumes.

Glad you got your tickets. There is no MNSSHP the week we are going. But we have lots of stuff planed for the girls.

60 day mark!

Yeah for lossing weight.

Last year we had 2 extra people twice and were told both at garden grill and crystal palace it was no problem. My stepson lives iin Fl and met us there for a few days. We paid his room,food and tickets. He also brought his GF at the time but she paid for her own food and ticket. So it can be done.

Thank-you!!!
