September Check-in - September has Arrived!

[Dlikester]

My DD7 goes back to school in a week and a half and I swear she'll bring home bugs and viruses. My DS4 is susceptible. I'm not a germaphobe but I'm worried he'll get sick before we go. We just have to hope for the best.

My son is 46.5 with shoes on, he can do Indiana Jones, yay!!! So glad I measured him for stroller rental.

Just doing one day at Disneyland Park and one night at the Best Western Park Place but it still counts, right? Check out my ticker for the countdown. The big "to do" on this trip is the Fantasmic! Dessert package. Got it booked for the 9:00pm show and we're ready to go!

all the reservations are made, tickets and gift cards are here! photopass+ is in the mail, making autograph books today, cant wait!

UPS tried to deliver my package and wouldn't leave it without a signature. And then I realized I didn't do pp+.

I've been so behind on this trip. We leave on 9.3 for San Diego, then to DL on 9.7.

At DLH 9.7-9.10.

Great idea on Autograph books, I must do that

Went to the Dr today and got a letter for customs for my meds, as well as travel sickness tabs. I so hope we don't need them but my son has had issues

I also got probiotics lol, I'm so scared of us being sick

Just heard from the Travel Agent - tickets and vouchers are ready - we pick them up tomorrow 16 days to go I have been putting it off but now definitely need to make the kids trip diaries, any good tips for things to include? Also, need to start on the packing list as I am working up until the day before we fly out

Are you doing physical ones or online? I am setting up blogs for my kids to do and send back to their school classes but the thought of autograph books & trip diaries I'm thinking I will make up proper journals, places for tickets & photos, ride photo's, day by day photos. We are doing a world trip so ours will be a bit different as we can do all the different air trips etc. I think spaces to store bits from hotels, restaurants etc. My kids like collecting little animals that come on drinks, special straws etc so I might need a folder with storage space.

We do the Disneyland ones and preorder them from the Disneystore website as you can save 15% with multi purchase.

We have also used snapfish to create personalised hardcover books that cist about $8NZD. We used this for Busch Gardens & Universal Studios.

Well our 2 broke out with chickenpox on our 2nd to last day of our WDW trip last year, got us "stuck" in Orlando for another 10 days so we are super paranoid (although I would rather be sick there than here)

I was planning on going old school with a journal that they could write in and leave space for sticking in photos and other mementos. Or maybe I could put the prompts for the journal into a word document then they can type it in as they go and then put it all together when we get back. The younger ones can do a power point or iMovie when they get back to share with their school friends. Thanks for sharing, hope you have a fantastic time on your big trip.

Work trip down to LA on Sept 25-26, so I'm going to hang out through the weekend and solo Disneyland! I'm going to check out the Halloween party on Friday night, really looking forward to experiencing that! I should at least try to find a halloween-y shirt to wear...

Aside from regular halloween festivities and the re-opening of Nemo on the 27th, is anyone aware of anything big going on that weekend? Just trying to gauge crowd-level. I think touring plans has it at a 4 for both Saturday and Sunday, but I always take their info with a grain of salt...

I don't know of anything else going on over that weekend, specifically. Whenever I learn of something big happening on a certain date, I put it in this post of the Halloween Time Superthread.

The 25th is Rosh Hashana, someone told me that this is why there are longer hours on the 25th and that it may cause a small increase in crowd levels that weekend.
