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

100 days for us now​

(counting when we hit the road rather than arriving)

Yeah for all you 100 day people. I think once my ticker goes to the 2 month mark it will go by faster. I booked this trip in January so it just seemed like forever away. I'm not at the 100 day mark quite yet.

I'm still waitning to book our Desert party at the Mk. August just opened up a day or so ago. The only thing is once I book it there is nothing else for me to really plan.

I'm still on the fence about MNSSHP my girls really want to go. I have no problems spending the money to go. Will they at least make it til 1100 or 1200 to be worth the cost is my issue. We were just going to do a DTD day,T-rex and a movie but could skip all that and do the party instead.
Choices Choices!

All my reservations are done, the days are planned, the activities roughed out...nothing left to do except pack and at 102 days out, I can't pack stuff the kids might need for summer...clothes, shoes, swimsuits....

I'm sad!!!

I packed bathing suits lol. The girls got two cute ones for their bday and they have enough suits to last the summer so this way they will have nice ones for the trip. And they are a size bigger than they need so they can also wear them next summer. I also packed their red and white polka dot skirts I bought at costco last year. They have work then plenty and with a plain white t they will look like minnie skirts. I figured I should put them away before they get ruined/lost.

I also started packing a bag of stuff to play with in the car. I figure 3+ months without some of these toys and books will make them seem more fun later.

And I may also have a tote with samples, ponchos, toiletries that I am putting aside for the trip....

Great idea with the toys! I am going to put some away too!

I have also started a bag with the same sort of things you have. I figure it will not feel like spending so much money at once if I spread it out. haha

I wish I was at 100 days out! I still have 114 to go! However I am trying to plan some fun activites for the summer so that we're not wishing summer away since it just got here

Im not going to lie though, I have started to 'pack' (put it in a disney bag in my closet till I bring down the suitcases! ). DS got 3 new disney shirts after his accident last month and two new bathing suits so I packed those right away. He has plenty of clothes to make it through the summer anyways, and he is a messy little boy so I knew these shirts wouldnt make it out of the summer alive! I also started to get the shampoo/conditioner, razors, all those fun little extras put aside as well. I need to remind myself its only June 1st!

I have 115 days and have had a tote with odds and ends I have picked up, since January! I have most clothes packed. I get good deals and have mostly new clothes for the girls. I like having new outfits since we take so many pictures, I don't wanna see the same old summer clothes. I still have to make a few shirts, the girls have I think 2 bathing suits and now I am eyeing another to get all 7 girls we are traveling with. Gotta make sure they can all fit into the sizes left. New flip flops, crocs, who knows what else I will find! =)

We changed our dates to the 11th-17th. We will still be staying at CSR

I can't wait any longer! I just made character meet and greet time schedules i just need to print it out! I didn't do that last year and I missed out on so much I'm excited to take pics with all different characters!

also anyone ever dine at cinderella's royal table im set to eat there and so excited my daughter is going to be sooo happy

 

[DisneyMom0709]

I here you with that one. Our upgrade is 750.00 beacuse we are sticking with the QSDP. I have stayed at the moderates and while I do like them. In the end 750.00 is alot of money.

I stood at Coronado Springs last year and to be honest is wasn't "great"
thats why I just picked the all stars plus it for my kids, and next year for christmas I will plan and pay on the grand floridian or contemporary.

Wahoo for everyone who is at or under 100!

We have 114 here too...

So glad I'm not the only one who has started packing! Ha!

I think the summer is going to fly by...at least June will for us. It seems like we have something going on every day!

My friend invited my girls and I to go with she and her kids to Destin, FL...and I couldn't pass it up...so the countdown for that beach trip is 11 days!

Every morning I have been making a drawing and giving it to DM to involve her in the counting...

(sorry photos are a little blurry)

Thank you!!!

I do wish that my hand would do what my mind imagines, but I was fairly satisfied with the results.

 

[basketkat]

[shenaniganzz]

We're at 120 days today. Ah well - at least it's summer so we will have alot to do to keep busy!

Is there anywhere a person can find a comprehensive list (aside form what is on the WDW site) of character meet and greet locations, times, etc.?
