September 2011 - We are going to Disney World {THIS MONTH}! (Third Thread)

[L-Harper]

I went to Walgreens too and they didn't have any window clings that I could find. I asked someone and she looked at me like I had 4 heads and 18 eyes.

Just two weeks until we go! Could anyone comment on bringing a camcorder with you on your trip? We don't own a camcorder, but have been thinking about buying one for the upcoming trip. NOthing like the last minute, right? If you bring a camcorder, are you glad that you did?

Thanks!

My husband bought me a Flip Ultra HD for my birthday with Disney in mind and I love it! I haven't used at at Disney yet obviously, but I've used it around home and it takes nice video. The best part is that it is tiny (cell phone sized!) so it will be easy to stick in our bag (or pocket) and have with us at all times. I have a DSLR so carrying another large piece of equipment isn't an option. I plan to use it a lot this trip - last year I took mainly photos and very few video and found myself watching the few videos I did take wishing I had more.


....

Both of my boys have snotty colds but I'm okay with it - we leave a week from Monday so they should hopefully be over everything by then! If they aren't feeling better by Tuesday I plan to take them in though, hoping DH and I don't end up catching it next.

My friend/neighbor has kids getting over strep and MRSA and we've been around them without knowing, so I've been super paranoid we're going to come down with one of those lol.

so we leave in 3 days and my students have gotten me sick. I Lysoled everything daily, and even wore my hand sanitizer on my key chain, but it was no match. Grrrr. I woke up yesterday with a stuffy nose (went into denial) and I got through my day...today whole other story...sore throat, sinus problems, headache. I must admit defeat-Its a cold. I told my hubby I am laying in bed all weekend! I'm kicking this now before we leave Tuesday. Hoping to anyway.

I leave Monday am and im feeling a little off. At first i thought it was allergies, but it seems a little different. Broke out the giant bottle of vitamin C! Hope you feel better and have a great trip!!

2 DAYS til I hear Welcome Home @ the Wilderness Lodge Villas!!!!

For the first time ever, I have.... MICKEY MAIL!!!!!!! I stopped at the mailbox on the way in for work. When I got out of the car, I had this big, dopey smile on my face, and Sommer asked me, "Mama, did you get your Mickey mail finally?" Instead of answering, I just , which made her laugh at her crazy mama. 21 days away, and it suddenly occurs to me that this is really happening. After years of planning and waiting, WE ARE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!!

We've got the sniffles in SC, too. It's allergies for us; today has an air quality alert out. It's hotter and muggier here than in Florida, so it was a good day to go get some pre-trip shopping done. I went and bought all of my odds and ends, like tissue and a Tide to Go pen, high sunscreen chapstick, and silicone hair wraps. I also finished up the clothes that Chris and I needed to get ready. I bought four pair of capris for me, along with five tees and five tanks (we're actually going to be in Florida for eight days, so I'll still end up doing laundry!). I bough Chris six new tees. WalMart had all of their tees and tanks on CLEARANCE, and I paid $3/each for them! I'm working on organizing my binder, then I'm going to start packing stuff into suitcases. I'm getting there now!

Sillylily, I'm dancing with you! This is soooo exciting. It's a party now!

YAY!!!!! Isn't it the BEST feeling ever?!?!

 

[sillylily]

Yes indeed, and I am hollering "Peanut butter jelly time!"

YAY!!!!! Isn't it the BEST feeling ever?!?!

It really is, it totally made my day! Now, where's basketkat?? If she got Mickey mail, the day will be perfect!

 

[haven_alise1997]

Yeah for Mickey Mail! Glad everyone is finally getting theirs.

Sorry for those feeling icky hopefully all better before ur trips

Went to walgreens found a vampire Mickey lighted thing lol to put in the
Middle of the window then some cute clings with Mickey as a cowboy, Minnie
In witch outfit an Donald as a devil. My dh just shook his head

 

[disneydreamin247]

I'm REALLY hoping my breast milk is extra full of antibodies so the little one doesn't get sick before we go. The big one will be fine. Please, milk, don't fail me now!

 

[Marblies]

Would it be unusual if you don't dress up for MNSSHP?

No, you will be fine. Lots of people are coming as themselves (which could be scary) or wearing a halloween tee.

 

[haven_alise1997]

So I am stalking the line apps today an the touring plan site had DHS as park to avoid an line for Toy Story is currently 35 min wait Rockin Roller Coaster 10! With this bein a holiday weekend I think an hope we all will have it made on wait times!!

 

[anjalee6]

We are all sneezing too and my son's asthma has been really bad lately. Lots of coughing and difficulty breathing, but we all have really bad ragweed allergies.

Hope everyone feels better soon!

MICKEY MAIL!!!!!!![/SIZE]

Still no Mickey mail here....I'm waiting to hear back from the travel agent, but I'm guessing I won't hear from her until Tuesday with the long weekend.

I'm so sorry for those of you who are sick, DH told me earlier today that he isn't feeling well so we were out buying Vit C drops and cough drops for him today too . I'm hoping whatever he has doesn't pass on to the rest of us Sending healthy vibes to all!

When we got home there was a box at my door from Disney Shopping...my purple Sketch crossbody came today And I was really happy with the placement especially buying it sight unseen I can't wait to wear it!

I ended up placing a second order before the 25% off park merchandise expired and I got DD8 the pink sketch wristlet, a Minnie cupcake vinylmation, and a Disney bracelet, all will be put away for Christmas presents! I decided to add the Dooney balloon cosmetic bag to my order too for myself while I was at it And I was able to get the poster of Mickey shaking a Police Officer's hand for DH...I plan to get it framed and it will be one of his Christmas gifts. So I was happy to get the great discounts/free shipping and get some Christmas shopping out of the way too

Mickey Mail is the best!!!

No, you will be fine. Lots of people are coming as themselves (which could be scary) or wearing a halloween tee.

This just struck me as extremely funny

The wait is the hardest part! Hope your TA gets yours to you soon!

 

[skater]

We leave in 5 days and DD has a terrible head cold. Poor thing, I'm treating her like she has leprosy . (She's 17 - wouldn't want you to think I was neglecting a little child). I'm so worried I'll get it - I was really sick the last time I was at WDW . Hopefully, the rest of us will stay well.

Out of my head, BOTH of you! I was just looking at the wait time on lines for TSM going, "Geez, WHY are people still getting in line? The park is closing!"
basketkat, that stinks! I really was hoping you'd get yours today too. We will dance extra hard for your Mickey Mail when it comes, my dance may take up a whole page. Here's a nice little jig for being UNDER the three week mark for both of us!

the whistling guy is DH, he doesn't dance!)

 

[anjalee6]

Basketkat, don't worry. We usually go through a TA and it always takes about a week longer than other people, so hang in there. Iknow it's frustrating, but you'll get it.

 

[dizziedupbaby0127]

I checked our Walgreens too and NADA! No Halloween stuff at all; I'm so I wanted window clings! and we leave in 5 days

We usually get sick when we get home from Disney, so I guess I can't complain, but I told DH I have this weird feeling about someone getting injured before we go, so we need to be extra careful. I hope everyone feeling yucky feels better! Remember frame of mind can do wonders!

I would love to meet some DISers this trip, especially since it seems 1/2 this group is staying at Pop! If you see me say "HI" I have a DIS sign for our room and might have a LGM on the stroller and our bag (if I remember)! Oh and my name is Miranda, but I would respond to Dizziedupbaby,

Two weeks from today I will be sitting at CBR, rubbing my tummy after a great dinner at Ohana's! Where will you be in X days?
