September 2011 - The Planning Continues! (2nd Thread)

[ThereYouSeeHer]

I'm just loving everyone's stories! What a great question that was, I hope more people will post their memories.

I have a question of my own: What medicines can't you leave home without?
My list already has Tylenol/Ibuprofen for kids/adults, Benadryl, Immodium, Migraine Rx for DH, sudafed. What am I forgetting?

I would add a topical cortisone (anti-itch) cream for rashes or bug bites!

Ok....for all of you DCL cruisers....I posted this on my cruise thread and thought I'd share here too! Pics of my FE and autograph pillowcase!! LOVE how they turned out!!! The extra pocket on the FE at the bottom really isn't for anything, lol. I just wanted the extra graphics added.

Very cute!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Thanks! I'm excited! This will be our first FE participation......never even heard of them until this past year! I've got some great FE gift ideas I'm working on too! I'll post pics later this summer of those when I get them done!

Isn't it funny how you cruise Disney, cruise Disney and FINALLY find out about FE. It took me to my 3rd one to find it.

Oh I bring swimmers ear drops too..and the anti itch cream. forgot those. I actually have a spreadsheet packing list for our cruises. I will have to look at it for more ideas. I usually pack the same for WDW so I can have instant access to anything I need. I actually have a zith antibiotic...wonder if it's still good I get the powder in one container and the water to mix in another....I only combine if I need it. I have never needed it but since our first ever cruise DD(2-at the time) developed hand-foot-mouth and I know anti's won't help but it woke me up to be prepared.

Fe?

 

[ThereYouSeeHer]

Fe?

I assume you are asking about the cruise FE? Outside each cabin door is a fish hook, so cruisers will hang a mail pouch from it and call it a Fish Extender. In advance of the cruise, cruisers will join an FE group. As part of the group, you surprise other cruisers with gifts in their FE (mail pouch) throughout the cruise.

We booked our flights! We booked our flights! We got awesome flights out of a close small airport at great times. We will be getting into MCO at 9:40am and will be leaving MCO at 7:00pm. I feel that with these flight times we will be getting the most out of our first and last days! I'm so excited! It definitely feels more real now.

Ugh! I am going crazy! I have most of my Disney box packed, summer clothes are bought, package is paid for, dining reservations done, outfits for mnsshp bought and reservations at pirates league made.

I need something to keep me busy until Sept. I think I am too good at planning that there is nothing left.

Wahoo!!! That is super exciting for you guys!

We still don't have flights home... they were about $45 cheaper EACH yesterday...I waited until I put my little one down for a nap, and that fare was gone. I was SO mad at myself!!!

I here you. Today is the first day in a while it hasn't rained. Plus it is nice out. So I'm going to take the kids out after nap.

I still owe a bit on my pacakge I think like 300.00. I went to make a payment today and the disney sight like normal is wonky.

We have made our PL reservations,dining reservation and made a order off etsy for the girls PL shirts now just sit and wait. The only thing I have to look forward to is buying MNSSHP tickets. Still hoping fd will be re-released and then I will owe nothing. Disney will owe me so we may upgrade to a moderate.

Same here. We have our trip almost paid off (owe about $399) and every reservation was made BBB, ADR's, and car. Just waiting on MNSSHP tkts and free dining. I am still going to call back every week to see if anyone has cancelled their reservations for PL because I know my daughters would love that. Other than that I have nothing to do but sit and wait.....

LOVE LOVE LOVE your fish extender!!!! Did Tiffany make that for you? Gradysmommy on ebay? She is awesome. I have had her make me soooo many things

We just upgraded When I originally booked we were hoping for AKL CL, but there were no CL rooms available for that week. I didnt want to change dates-because we want to be there for our 10th wedding Anniversary. We were told to keep trying-well I called back yesterday-and it was available-and it was only like $200.00 more-totally worth it. Now I just need the Passholder rates for September to come out-modify and pay in full.
The IPO contacted me today and we booked all our dining, safari's and dinner shows. We got everything we wanted-and the times we wanted. I'm waiting for my storm cloud-b'cause it can't be this easy. LOL. I cant wait!

Unless my kids were having a hard time in school, I have no problem. I hear it is harder to do in high school...

When you talked to the people about PL reservations did you try making them separately? I was told there was no room for my three kids the day I tried to make my appointment and after talking for awhile she just meant all at once and I could book two together and one separate, only ten minutes apart. I thought it was odd they didn't explain that offer that initially and just told me to call back and check for cancellations. I mean it is only ten minutes!

Going to go put some more stuff in the disney box.

My boyfriend keeps asking what we can do! I told him we can go through all of our spring/summer clothes and make a list of what we need and put what we want to get rid of in the yard sale box. We also still need to figure out what we need to do to get our delivery order made and with who. Get our seats reserved on our flight. We are waiting for MNSSHP tickets to go on sale too...and everyday between now and then I need to convince him we need to dress up!!
