[disneydreamin247]

Oh man. I know in 9 days I'm going to be so tempted to do online checkin!

 

[Tinker1972]

just under 3 weeks til our first adventure begins!!!! Time to start packing...but 3 night shifts to go first, before I can really focus on preparing!!

 

[sillylily]

I got Mickey mail of sorts today; it was my paid in full invoice. Where's the rest of my Mickey mail??? I want to throw a tantrum, and it will look something like this! (It was the closest thing I had!lol) I still have 23 days, so I don't want to stress it too much yet, but I'm waiting impatiently!

We'll be there in 2 weeks! Only 4 days til I can do online check-in! I think I'm done fiddlin' with our ADRs now, unless I can find one we like for Monday 9/19. Here's how our's stack up:

Thursday 9/15 5:55 Artist Point
Friday 9/16 8:25pm Cape May
Saturday 9/17 9:10am Crystal Palace, 8:05pm Wishes Dessert Party
Sunday 9/18 5:35pm Narcoossee's
Monday 9/19 No ressies - we'll be at Epcot this day, and we love stopping at the CS places in each country to try new things!
Tuesday 9/20: DH taking DM&FIL to Fultons, 6:10pm, me and kiddos have ressies 4:45 at 1900 Park Fare before MNSSHP!
Wednesday, 10:10am Kona Cafe breakfast before going home.

The only ones above we've done before are Crystal Palace and Narcoossee's. We wanted to try some new ones this time around. Since we're a group of 7 and we only planned 3 months in advance, it was pretty tricky to find ressies at any of the places we wanted to eat - but I'm pretty happy with what we found.

 

[anjalee6]

The ADR list in all updated as of 7:30 tonight.

And.....We FINALLY got our list Mickey Mail. Luggage tags and package information in the mail today! I feel like we have been waiting forever.


So...at school I always number the kids at each table. They each get specific jobs each day. Well, this year in one of my many Home Depot trips, I picked up lots of paint samples. I asked the man behind the counter how many I could actually take and he said, "Take what you feel is necessary!" He he he! He obviously doesn't know a DISer when he sees one. Anyway, now my kids are color coded with Mickey heads. They LOVE them and it makes it very fun to say a hundred times a day. "Ok, if you are a red Mickey or a blue Mickey." Love it! I have taken my Disney obsession to a whole new level. I thought you guys would understand my need to share.

This thread is incredible. I'm so glad I found it. It's been great sharing ideas and thoughts and the agony of waiting. But September is finally here.
For those of you leaving on your trip have a magical time. We'll be looking to hear from you.

Ah! DS's birthday was a success today! Made the day FLY by! I managed to even pull down a suitcase and condense the three totes Ive been putting things in here and there in for the past 4 months. Very exciting!! I realized though that I completely over bought for DS. He has 20 new shirts We will only be there for 10 days, and two of those are travel days so we really only have 8 full days. Oh well! I guess now I dont need to worry if he gets stains on any of them!

DH and myself on the other hand are really lacking in everything! Only 22 days to get it together!! Cant come soon enough!

 

[Strawberry's mom&dad]

We r on the Disney Dream RIGHT NOW! It's unbelievably beautiful. Off to have a guided tour of the ship!

I watched the dream leave Port Canaveral on my computer today. They zoom in real close and you could see people waving, some one in Aqua duck. Oh how I wished I was on that boat. Next May We will be on the Fantasy

Have a great trip

 

[Strawberry's mom&dad]

DH found good price on airfare and times that work around her school schedule to have DD join us in WDW for 3 days. She will be there for her dads birthday
Now we just have to change one ADR on OCT 1 or just eat around the world at the wine and food expo.

 

[basketkat]

I leave tomorrow!!!!!!

6 day Banana Dance

I really need this vacation!! 4 more days of work. It has been crazy around there ALL SUMMER and the only thing keeping me going is knowing I will be OUTTA HERE in 4 days, 3 sleeps.

In 6 days, at this exact time, I will be packing the car with last minute items, and almost be on the road!!

I still need to print out our paperwork stuff, ADR list w/confirmation numbers, revise the "PLAN", get pedi, do last minute packing stuff. I found the arch bandages I was looking for finally (painful feets=not good).

Off to work I go... (need more coffee)

The second day of September.....that means it getting closer :banana:

I started packing our toiletry bags last night and putting together packages of DS' pull ups and baby wipes and such. I was watching Big Bang Theory reruns as I went through everything and sorted into ziploc baggies when DH came upstairs and looked at me incredulously as he asked what I was doing!



Duh, packing for Disney. He just doesn't understand the obsessive need to list and pack.

 

[L-Harper]

5 days to go!!!

Today is a great Friday. Probably one of the greatest Fridays ever! Today is DH's last day of work for SIXTEEN {16} DAYS!!!!!!!
