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

7 days from today right now we'll be at the airport waiting to board our plane :dance3:

I can hardly wait! And the kids are just busting at the seams!
 
Ha ha! That is very true! And we can wait it out together! :goodvibes

We can start our own thread - the "END of Sept 2011 - We are going to Disney World!!"

I really need to get myself going here - leaving three weeks from tomorrow and haven't even started a packing list yet :scared1:. This is a surprise trip for my son, so I have to be sneaky about the packing....

I've already ordered a cake to be delivered on his b-day, but I want to put together a basket of stuff to take for him to open that day. I'm thinking a Hidden Mickeys book would be good - any other suggestions?? 11-year old boys are tough!
 
After cruising Disney, I would highly recommend it to anyone. We had never been on a cruise before, and I'm so happy we did!

Hard to believe one of our own has already come back! Looking forward to hearing more. A cruise has always been a maybe-someday thing for us. The girls are gorgeous!
 

THEREYOUSEEHER.....your kids are beautiful! So happy you had a good trip



:banana: T minus 2 hours 30 mins! :banana:

I wanna thank Ms. Harper for keeping up and starting and continuing this amazing thread! This was by far the best thread I've ever been on! You have all been so supportive helping me plan, plot, and post things for my trip! I thank you all my Dis September friends.

Got up 45 min early to finish the very last of the house chores before we get the kids up and off to school.

Until next week....
Yes, thanks Harper!!! Have a great trip!

Tomorrow is online checkin day :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I'm off to Disney World......:wizard:

I'm so excited for you! Have a magical vacation! :wizard: Thank you for such kind words. I'm glad that this thread was as awesome as it was. I just updated the first post when I needed to, all of you made this thread "home".

I agree, LHarper is great and this is the best countdown thread ever :grouphug:

Thank you! :goodvibes

We leave tomorrow :cool1:!

SO DO WE!!!!!!! I hope you have a magical vacation!!! I'm so excited for everyone that our trips are either now or SO soon! :dance3:
 
How am I supposed to get anything done for the next two weeks? All I want to do is obsessively DIS If they could combine this pic :surfweb: with this pic :yay: it is what I feel like.

LOL! I feel the SAME way!!!!

We have 18 days to go and I have offically started my final packing list! Ive managed to get past DS birthday and his party so now its time to focus on vacation!! :woohoo: C'mon September 23rd!!!

I have so many things piled on top of our suitcases...by this time last year I was totally ready to go! I need to get on the ball!

40 times? That's easy - Peter Pan!
Here we goooooooo

Me too me too!!!! I just love that one!

Yeah I think Soarin would be ours too :)

My daughter would ride Soarin' over and over ALL day long!

We just got home about 2 hours ago, and the trip was amazing!

I'm so glad you had such a nice time! The pictures were gorgeous...as are your girls!
 
Lol that makes me think of a fun question for everyone to help pass the time - being the 40th anniversary, if you could, which ride would you ride 40 times - mine would be the Teacups!

I can't seem to pick just one, so I'll do what someone else did and give my 40 time ride for each park: MK Mickey's Philharmagic, Epcot: Soarin, HS: RnR, AK: EE! Great question!:thumbsup2


There you see her: Thank you so much for the pics! You're little princesses are just adorable!:good vibes Hope more details about your trip are coming when you've rested properly. And thanks for the tips about cruising Disney. DH and I are thinking about a Disney cruise in the next couple of years. Thanks for the info.

ShhhQ: Thanks for today's smile!:goodvibes

We can start our own thread - the "END of Sept 2011 - We are going to Disney World!!"

Don't worry, when we get back and are reading about all of you getting ready to go, it will be OUR turn to be so jealous! :rotfl:
 
In 24 hours from right now we should be on Magical Express pulling into DISNEY WORLD!!!! :yay: :woohoo: :dance3: :cloud9: :cool1: :banana: :goodvibes Nope I'm not excited at all.... :lmao: :rotfl2:
 
Well we are back!! My camera sort of had issues threw out the trip. So we had to use photopass more than the normal. So I guess I will be buying the CD. Since I got maybe 20 pictures with my camera. We didn't get one family shot with all of us. :headache: My youngest was sort of not having pictures some days.

We had a awesome stay at pop. The cms there were great the resort activites were great for the kids. We saw a movie a couple of nights. I just wish they would have had the movie in the same spot. For whatever reason the kept moving it. I wish we would have had a day of resort time. We did plan on it. We went to DTD for lunch and after that it poured the rest of the day. So we did the arcarde and older dd got a cacture done at pop.

The highlight had to be my older dd got to play guitar hero with stich before the meet and great started at the MK. I think the photopass guy must have taken at least 25 to 30 pictures.

We also booked a bounceback for FD for 14 nights for next year. :yay: I am gald we stuck with the QSDP it was just easier for us. Next year I am making a list of where we want to eat. Worst meal cosmic rays. Best Epcot mexican QS place was really good. POP's food court we ate here once a day but they had lots to choose from so we weren't eating the same things over again. We had 2 QS meal credits left and 8 snacks at the end. I used the 8 snacks and just bought some things for home.

We did 10 nights and 11 days and we could have stayed a couple more. We did
MK 2 full days and 1 night just for wishes
Epcot 2 full days
AK we stayed tip 3 it started lighting out so I missed nemo but we got everything else done and some characters in there.
HS stayed until around 4 or 5 the kids were getting tired

We did blizzard beach 2 days and those days we did the family raft ride around 5 times each day. So the stairs were a haul. But my kids did great. The first 2 days we were on a room only so we just did DTD and ate at T-rex OP and Planet Hollywood OP witht he 15.00 voucher. I spned 150.00 at T-rex after food and build a dino. :scared1: The girls did PL and loved it but we missed the PL parade I'm not sure what we were doing. But my youngest is a ride junkie. So she didn't care for Epcot much. I think I rode nemo with her at least 4 times.

Crowds were not bad at all. We just used FP for alot of the major rides and then went on something with a 10 minute or 15 minute wait and then it was usally time for our FP. We also had to get use to the daily showers. We bought ponches and just went with it. When we watched wished it was raining out that night but it was worth it.


Any questions ask away. They started setting up for the Halloween parties also.
 
Welcome back, KELLY!!!! It's so great to hear some reviews! I would LOVE to hear more about Pop's activities, pools, and the Goofy jets which I hear aren't working. Anything a first timer to Pop should know? How were the waits for TSM? We plan on going to HS at rope drop anyway... I just want to hear it all!!! We leave tomorrow!!!
 
Just bought my MNNSHP tickets! It's official and I'm am so excited to be surprising my "boys" with this party! (adult son and DH)party:

Hey Kelly! Welcome back!:goodvibes And congrats on booking the B to B with free dining. 14 days would be my dream...we always stay 8 days. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Can't wait to hear more details. I just remembered to include my rain ponchos yesterday. Our 10 day forecast is rain all but one day. Sounds like the rain didn't really slow you down much.

L Harper: Have a wonderful and most magical trip!:wizard: Maybe we'll see you there. I'll be the older woman whining "can't we go on RnR one more time???":lmao:
 
Sorry about the camera troubles, Kelly. Good thing you have a photopass back-up and woohoo for bounceback. You can start up a thread for next year - who knows how many of us will hop on!

L-Harper - you need to settle down girl. You're only leaving tomorrow for WDW, what's the big...oh wait, I TOTALLY get it :banana::banana::banana:
 
I guess I might be able to do online check in tommorrow I'm assuming since we check in at the hotel on the 17th
 
Wow I can't believe some people have already been and are coming home. Great mini trip reports everyone :) Kelly that's such a bummer about the camera. I'd cry if that happened LOL thank goodness for photopass. that reminds me... I need to pre order lol

only 19 DAYS here !!!!!!

Getting really excited. I think we've found a dog sitter so that's a load off.

I'm going to glue mickey ears onto a camoflauge hat for hubby. anyone have any ideas what kind of glue might be best for such a project? I'm using that foam paper stuff and then a regular baseball type cap.
 
KELLY cant believe your trip is over already! That went fast! Glad to hear you had a great time and that you booked a BB offer. I wish we could spend 14 days, but DH would never be able to get that time off in a row. One day! Cant wait to see some pictures!!

L-Harper I know youre counting down the hours now!!! Have an amazing time on your first trip to the world! I cant wait to hear how you liked it! Wishing you safe travels! :goodvibes
 
Kelly Welcome back!!! So happy you guys had a good time!! Sorry about the camera I can't wait to see the pics you do have.

Sparks19 I am not the most crafty person around but I think fabric or craft glue should do the trick. Do you have a Micheal's? If so I am sure one of those ladies there would know for sure what would work best.

So my cleaning day isn't going forward like I wish it was, at least the laundry is in the washer. I had a minor freak out this morning on dbf. Luckily he won't hold it against me. I am sure I should be doing something but here I sit on the DIS. I will get myself going in 15 minutes, I promise.;)

I did get my neighbor to watch the cat for us while we are gone. I just have to pay him in beer, although he said it wasn't necessary I figured I would leave it for him, as a token of my appreciation.
 
In 24 hours from right now we should be on Magical Express pulling into DISNEY WORLD!!!! :yay: :woohoo: :dance3: :cloud9: :cool1: :banana: :goodvibes Nope I'm not excited at all.... :lmao: :rotfl2:

Thanks! I decided to start a Trip Report. I wasn't sure if I was going to do one, but the cruise was such a new experience for me that it will be fun to document it. It's going to take some time to load all the pictures and detail the trip, but here it is:

Splish, Splash, the Dream was a Blast! 9/1/2011 Trip Report

I'll put a link in my signature, too.
