roll call....

me in 3 sleeps

Huh! I thought you were going on Thursday? I make that 4 sleeps? (or are you going on Wednesday?)
Mind you, it will be 2 sleeps before you blink an eye!!

5 sleeps for me

I've just finished putting all our hotels and sightseeing spots into the TomTom as POIs - now hopefully we won't get lost in the wilds of Texas!

The clothes are ironed and hanging up, undies in neat piles, I've sorted through all the travel bits-n-bobs this afternoon and selected all the plugs, locks, eye masks, cushions etc we'll need.

The suitcases are out from their hiding place under the stairs and dusted down....tomorrow I'll start filling them.

I am LOVING this slowly-packing-over-several-days instead of having an exhausting do-it-all-in-one day effort. Thanks DISers for sharing your methods

2 sleeps, getting anxious

Getting my hair done tomorrow, I can't wait for the head massage when they shampoo it!

Nearly finished packing, just last minute bits to throw in, would it be weird to take an empty suitcase? I could fit all my and DS's things in one suitcase with space left...

Not long now! We always take an empty , or lightly load 3 cases to 2/3 to ensure we have room for more stuff on the way back. Mind you in 2011 we had to buy a case anyhow as we run out of room!

Yay for all you lucky people leaving this week!!

Still 10 sleeps for me. Work is driving me completely mental at the moment, it is so not a good time for me to be away and will be hard to stop stressing about it when I'm not here..but I will do my best to try, hopefully a day or 2 into the trip I can relax (until the frantic phone calls and facebook messages begin anyway!)

Yes, well worth having! - there are a lot of free Apps that are only available on the US Itunes store ( including the official Disney ones for the parks, Disney Mobile Magic and My Disney Experience. )

I have the same password for both my accounts - just one less thing to have to remember. Am planning to stock up on US iTunes cards while I'm over there too - so I can redeem them on my US account and buy some of those dirt cheap books and movies!

Safe travels becpee!! Early to bed tonight...!!! I know it never happens here either! And then I'm up super early too on my travel day! At least it makes me feel tired enough to sleep on the plane at 4pm!!
Looking forward to your report!

So exciting! I'm sure you will have a great time I wouldn't be sleeping tonight either...

I have been meaning to ask the September crew if you have done online check in for WDW? What does it entail? Is it worth doing? Thanks!

I've decided not to do online checkin. I've been following the tips on the Yacht & Beach Club Thread in the Resorts Forum and they suggest that if you want the option to see if your room allocation suits you and to change it if necessary then it's better not to do online checkin - we don't mind waiting to get our room if it means we'll have a nicer view/larger balcony/closer to the lobby/Epcot etc.
