Here is a link to apply for your postal vote for those of us who will not be here to vote.

Takes less than a minute. For those of you away over the election date this will make sure that you are not fined as long as you remember to pop it in the post

Yay! Disneyland have finally put their parade/show/fireworks schedule up for dates up to the 16th!

Now I can do some REAL planning

 

[Frosted]

One month to go exactly today before our trip to the UK and France! 31 sleeps.

Almost feels too close - lots on during the next month.

Picked up my cash I ordered today - feels like I am ready to go. Just need to get through a couple of birthday parties, a trip to Adelaide, school camp and a spring clean of the house! And packing!

Just booked a week at Disneyland hotel for the last week of our long vacation , moving from Residence Inn where we are now. I haven't stayed at DLH for so long, since I was a child actually. I think I was about 10 the last time I stayed. In recent years we have always stayed at GCH, so really looking forward to a stay at DLH.

YAY

4 weeks today this is the part I lit's nearly here, now is the time I have to dose everyone with vitamins and become paranoid about germs, the time where people want to catch up and I make excuses because I don't want anyone getting sick it's a bit easier this year no one knows we are going

did I mention I don't like August Weather what's with all this rain it's much nicer being in the USA at this time of year

Agreed, you will love it! I'm hoping our VGC stay will live up to our DLH experience, lol.

You guys are making me nervous! I have a horrible feeling I'm going to fall in love with staying onsite and either want to stay there every trip, or sign up to DVC on the spot!!!

 

[5ofus]

And I KNOW that two nights onsite is not going to be enough

 

[5ofus]

OMG SO excited

So... DH doesn't know I've booked two nights for us to be squished into a studio at the Grand Californian, the kids don't know that we're even GOING to Disneyland and now I've booked a Cabana at the Disneyland Hotel for our first afternoon!!!! We get to ride the monorail slides (well, DH and I will love this, don't know about the kids!) and kick back and relax all afternoon while waiting for our room to be ready. I'm so crazy excited about this added little extra

And a big thank you to my wonderful DVC renter-outterer who was wonderful enough to make the booking for me. She's the best!!!

 

[Michaella]

Yay... booked our Halloween tickets for our last night in the USA... October 11th at Disneyland.....

It will be the day after we have left WDW

I am prepared to bet that you sign up to DVC whilst you are there maybe you should start working out how many points you will need

I may have already spent half a day working it all out. I deleted it all though. DH reckons we can't afford the boys' school AND DVC and still be able to eat so I think he might put a stop to it all.

Maybe a small point purchase is in order just enough to bank & borrow every 3 years it's just locking in the price of future vacations

 

[alicia1506]

I need to do this too. We're in the teens now...yep, 19 days to go. There is a shocking bout of gastro going through the school I work at (and where my girls go to school) as well as colds, coughs and tonsillitis and then hand, foot and mouth as ds's preschool. I won't keep them at home unless they're sick, but no gastro....please
