Does anyone know if they are still allowing you to get a large soda for a CS dining plan meal? They did in '09 but I'm not sure if they still allow it, it worked great for sharing!

Is white an attractant? I would rather not get the love bug's attention, unless it has bitten the DH and he gets jonesing for a smooch! I love the pics, everybody! I will post one tonight when I get home, I can't access photobucket from my work PC or the links from my iPhone. Does anyone know how to best protect yourself if you're taking BP medication in the parks? I was just diagnosed with hypertension (shocking, since my BP has always been super low), and they put me on a BP medicine. It tells me to stay out of the sun. Trying to figure out how that's going to work! I could ask on the DISability boards, but I thought I'd see if anyone here knows first hand.

sorry i didnt answer sooner..i had to work and don't have access to a computer. I lived in florida for 9 years and found that if i wore darker colored clothes, love bugs dont bother me. But if you wear white, they seem to swarm you. That's my experience, others could be different...

My brother's GF wore white and sat in some chocolate. Of course we were in Epcot and the boys were on Mission space. So here I am wiping her butt for her. The cm that walked by made a joke. I told him he really didn't want to know. It was actually really funny.

reminds me I need to pack the tide stain stick

That is too funny. I have lived in FL my entire life and never noticed that. I guess the only time I really notice them is when they are either dead on my car and I have to clean em off or when I drive through a swam and cannot see out the windshield. Thanks for the tip! You learn something new every day.

i am soooo glad i dont live in fl anymore, but the love bugs kill me when i come down the softball worlds. but i deal with it...its like the magic of disney makes it all worth it!

 

[MissLiz]

I think all of my tips have been listed already, so I don't really have anything to add to that, but I would just like to mention that love bugs creep me out.

I had never seen one until I went to WDW and, at first, I could't figure out for the life of me why a bug would have two heads! It took me almost the entire trip to figure out what was going on.

We decided to breakdown and buy a portable DVD player for the car tonight. We were going to get a dual screen one, but the reviews we read weren't that great, so then we were going to buy each of the girls one...until we start looking and DD2 kept pushing the buttons and making the DVD freak out. We decided she might be a little too young for her own, so if they decide they want to watch a movie, they will just have to share.

 

[MissLiz]

Hey! I just realized that my ticker shows days now!!! Awesome!!

 

[Marblies]

not at Disney. We haven't seen very many bugs at all. They have good pest control.
That being said... we did see this one at MK:

It walked down the ramp at Mickey's Philharmagic and under a door

No worries. Jiminy's cousin was taking a quick break and was back for photos and autographs about 10 minutes later.

Oh duh!! I didn't even think of that!!

That is why I don't wear white, period.
I have been looking for clothes for my trip and I keep seeing really cute white pieces, then I see in my future what it will look like with a big wine stain or, now, bug stain on my butt. No thanks!!

Oh no!

Does anyone know if they are still allowing you to get a large soda for a CS dining plan meal? They did in '09 but I'm not sure if they still allow it, it worked great for sharing!

Sure can! Just have to request it.

One other planning tip I don't think I have seen listed here. Each person in the party always makes a bucket list, broken into Really Need, Would Like to, If we have time, O.K if you want too and Not on your life. We take all the lists and put them togather so everyone gets a chance to do what they want to.

That is a great idea. My must do this year is the nemo show at AK. For whatever reason we never have seen it. My youngest will tell you the dino simular to dumbo at the AK, TSM and Tea cups. My older dd really likes the shows. Dh is all about the thrill rides and so am I. So we do alot of FP.

 

[KELLY]

Went and had my pedi done there is no way I can make it next week. Anyway I wanted a MK blue. But nothing was really close. So I pick up a bottle of purple and look at that bottom the name was dusk over Cairo. Perfect Indian Jones was the first thing I thought of. Seriously I need help. LOL

 

[Mom2Cody06]

I just looked at that list on the first page for the first time! Wow! Is it too late to add me on it? I'll be at POR from 9/7 - 9/17.

We will be at POR from 9/12 - 9/18.....I can't wait! Welcome to the group!

We will be at the same resort for a few days..15th-17th and my dd and I plan on making MK our first day on 9/15 and Epcot on 9/16!! So, we will be on the lookout for you!

Sounds like a LOT of us will be at POR the same time....how exciting!

Here's our breakdown:

Tuesday 13th- Chef Mickeys/MNSSHP

We will be at MNSSHP the same night!!




We don't have a definite plan, All we have "planned" is our ADR's and MNSSHP. We usually go with the flow and where ever everyone feels like going that day. This is the first trip where we have made ADR's for anything than a character breakfast....So I guess that is one or our firsts for this trip....lol

I am starting to schedule our last minute things before the trip....the boys will get their haircut a few days before we leave (our neighbor is our hairdresser so she just does it at home for us), I am making an appt do get my nails done and a pedi..I think I am going to go for red tips with white polka dots and a bow on each ring finger and then just red tips on my toes...very Minnie Mouse like....lol. I am also a last minute packer so I will probably be packing the Saturday before we leave....but I just have to pack for the boys and myself since DH will pack his own stuff. Some more last minute things I have added (thanks to all the advice on this thread) is a power bar for all of our phones, cameras, Cody's DS. Decorations for our windows, nightlights....etc

Has anyone used OSR? We are getting a double stroller from them and I was wondering about the size of the name tag on the back of the stroller....I wanted to make something for it and maybe add some DIS color to it....

I tried searching for shout on FB and can't seem to find it/ What am I doing wrong?

We have made lists with the kids about what they want to do the most. I think all the disney parks will be easy, but at Uni I think DH and I might divide and conquer. He's kind of afraid of roller coasters so I may be taking the bigs and he will be spending time with Dr. Seuss

Thank you for posting this! Funny thing though, it says that it will arrive within 6 weeks. I really hope it gets here before we leave. This is a great free sample for the trip!

 

[disneychic2]

Question: Why are we all still awake?? Going to bed now. 'Night everyone.

Ha! I didn't even think about that!!! Samples usually come within a few weeks...although you are leaving way before me. OH well...it will come in handy at some point I'm sure.
