Awesome. DOes that mean we can send the kids in one direction... and us go in the other? Im checking out prices.. and there dont seem to be to many places for a family of 6 to stay. Oh well.. we arent taking a vacation until the babies are like 18 months, so we have time.

You should investigate renting DVC points... we could never afford to go as often as we do without them! You could get a lovely 1 or two bedroom with a kitchen and living area. And a whirlpool tub!

awww those bags for your kids are too cute and I really love the cameras, I want one for myself! haha

That sounds lovely! I need to research that. Thank you!

Just don't pick the high season. The prices are really scary!!!

Port Orleans Riverside, or Wilderness Cabins might work too. I'm not an authority or anything, but I did alot of research when we were going. I also wanted to get 6 people into a room. I think you will have an advantage, as your babies are young enough not to count. Well you know what I mean............they count, but not as a paying customer.

Here are the surprise/welcome bags. I'm debating buying Pal Mickey and have him waiting in the room too with the bags or if we will just go buy him as a family.

This is Morgans I was too lazy to spread out Jakes. The only difference is he has a blue Mickey t-shirt and a Lucky dalmation. His cameras are different but they are pictured below. Actually they both have the beach mickey and minnie one and they Morgan has the princess one and Jake had the cars one.

yes that is a full thing of Halloween Oreos for each child. Dont Judge ME!!! Actually I knew they were daddy's favorite cookie...

Your kids are going to be sooooooooooooooooo excited. I love the bags, goodies and cameras. I wonder what kind of pics the cameras will take? Really cute ideas for birthday gifts and holidays too!

Shawna, last I was told, DO NOT take film with carry on...it will ruin the film...

Morgan has a Tinkerbell digital camera but we cannot find it. I have no clue. Probably left it at a sleepover or at the dance studio. If these get lost no big deal I guess. I just threw in Disney Dollars into the bags as well!

Shawna, last I was told, DO NOT take film with carry on...it will ruin the film...

Ok I think I've got it figured out. Jeff is going to go ahead through security with the kids leaving me with all of the electronic equipment that needs to be checked by hand outside of the scanner. I'll hand them the disposable cameras and beg them mercy not to flash my kids with them. Hopefully at 4:30am they will be in a good mood and keep my secret safe.

The list is getting done . Your not online right now so your probably working really hard giving Samantha no a bath, LOL. I love the gifts bags, they are so cute! Where did you get those Disney camera's? I would love to pick up a couple for the kids. Your family must be so excited since you leave in the very early morning . I'll PM you my cell number.

I had to read your report when I saw the title. TN is my DSs (2yo) favorite movie. DH has to watch it w/ him, so he can fast forward through the naughty parts. DH says Bhake & Bake & then ds says that just happend. Also, I was changing him at the beach & he was naked. He started running around the parking lot saying, I'm on fire, I'm on fire. When were drivin he's in the back seat yellin "I wanna go fast, I wanna go fast". And he wants to name his soon to be little bro Ricky Bobbie. This kid cracks me up.

"You wanna see the real world of male modeling? The one they dont show you in magazines or on the E Channel" -Derek Zoolander

"Yeah, I guess" -Matilda

Zoolander quote for this one folks!

Jake and I made our count down calendar while Morgan was in dance lessons yesterday (before her party) We are coloring each Micky head with black marker so you cant see it when its time to cross that days number off.

Here it is and my lovely male model Jake.

I know we have a lot of ELF fans on this PTR so notice the shirt! He likes to sleep in my shirts sometimes.

And another Will Ferrell classic t-shirt First one to get where this quote is from gets a virtual prize!

I'm sure I'm way late on this, but its from a skit from SNL. By the way, I love that song.

Hey Shawna,
Only hours to go now!!!!! I don't know about you, but I'm sooo excited for you!!!!!
That list is getting shorter and shorter - and the bags are so cute.
You're making me feel really inadequate as a mother, as I have not planned anything like that for the kids.......my idea is just to arrive at the hotel and bask in their reflected adoration that I have organised all of it for them.....
I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for you with your room requests - I'm sure WDW will provide you with personal butler, spa, maseussse (sp?), and cute margharita guy no prob.
If I don't get a chance to post again before you go - have a blast!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear all about it!
for the trip!

NoSamantha is the priority this morning!!! She doesnt know it yet!

I got the cameras at my local Frys grocery store. Walgreens had them too. They were only $5.99 at the grocery store. I figured why not give them two since they have 27 pictures the kids, esp Jake, could easily snap away 1 roll in a days time! I PM'd you back!

Ok I am adopting your family! Sounds like you guys would get along great with us. "Help him Tom Cruise, Help him put out the invisible fire!!!" We always say "THAT JUST HAPPENED" Too funny. I'll carry the theme to my TR. I will be reusing quotes and bringing in many others. I've got Talladega Nights and Wedding Crashers on the ipod for the plane ride!

I'm sure I'm way late on this, but its from a skit from SNL. By the way, I love that song.

I'll give you a prize anyway!

Thanks Di! Just think when I get back you'll be down to 2 weeks! I'll have a margarita for you! Didnt Kathleen get back yesterday?

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Last night I thought I had lost my 10 day water park and more tickets. Luckily Jeff found them. That was a close one. I said "No one goes to bed til they are found" He said he assumed that as he was heading to bed.

Today is concentrate on getting to dog ready to go to Grandmas. Then last minute stuff. I think we are all ready. I dont have a single pair of shorts in the suitcase for Jake though. Woudnt that be funny if I forgot his shorts entirely. Yeah, I'll get those in there before I give the dog a bath. As soon as he wakes up

I get to print my boarding pass in a half an hour. I'm waiting like a kid!!!!

 

[addictedtothemouse]

You leave tomorrow! I'm so excited for you.
I never think of cute ideas for the kids. I tell people it's because I'm not "crafty".

 

[inkedupmomma]

im so stoked for you!
