few more hours & it will officially be fall, goody, goody gumdrops - not

mac - ive never tried mailing a box to WDW. how does that work, u send it to urself @ the resort? i used to have staples deliver water until they put the kabosh on that. We usually stop @ Goodings or some other place, still the prices for groceries, even soda & water r outrageous...cost of living has to be a killer in MCO. btw, make sure to eat a MM rice krispie thang for me...more stuff stuck on it the better

andy - no spoilers please, yet how did u like hero? i tvo'd it for later in week & watched house instead

Good afternoon homies

Afternoon all ...

2 weeks from tomorrow and we'll be in Florida!!!

Evening all. Got my hairs cut today for the trip. Day off tomorrow, gonna start washing up my shirts and getting preliminary packing started. Watching Heroes right now. Be back soon.

Glad to hear you got all your hairs cut not just one hair ...

i packed my folders.
that's it so far.

i have separate folders for the motherland and the darkside.

as long as i have my tickets for everything, all else is immaterial.

clothes are highly over rated.......

i did buy two boxes of cookies to put in my suitcase.

looks like i am good to go.

My folder has been ready for a while now ... park & HHN tickets are in my wallet ... no cookies for our suitcases but there will be some "friends" making the trip with us

the good kind.

it is like the girl scout smores.

chocolate with carmel in them.


i'll probably eat both boxes up on the plane on the way down.
unless i eat them up later this week.....

Will you be sharing those cookies with the rest of us???

i did pack up a box to mail to myself at the resort.
it is a goody bag type of box.
that's all i can say so i won't spoil my surprise.

i took it to the post office and had it weighed.
holy cow.
it will cost me $42.xx to send it ......


it will almost be cheaper to take a second suitcase and pay the $50/rt for it.

i planned to pack light this trip and take only the basics to wear.
i figured one suitcase and it wouldn't be packed tightly.

i'm taking 2 now.

if i over pack and go beyond the weight limit for one suitcase, that would be an additional $100 to 150 extra charge.

i have spent my free time shopping for the box.
i think i bought too much stuff.......

i should think about packing the clothes suitcase........

I always overpack - you'd think with all the trips we've taken since 2003, I'd have learned to pack light ... and I think I know some of the things in that goody box

i have been sending boxes to myself at the motherland for years.
i put in it candy and edible items.
also toss in glo bracelets.

just address it to the hotel you stay at.
at the bottom left corner, list your arrival date and name and over that, HOLD.

never had a problem with it.

they keep all boxes in a cooled area.
that way my peanut butter cups don't melt and get swishy from the suitcase i carry with.
i time it so it arrivals the day before i do.


just taking a few minutes break from working to come here to see the homies!

of course i will share my treasures with youse!!

i usually pack the night before i leave.
i'm already stressed so what problem is it to be more stressed at that time.

this time i did the folders up as i received tickets and emails.
nothing like looking for that type of items at midnight, hours before i leave the house.



this year i did put aside a couple of pairs of shorts and tops, socks a few weeks ago.
we haven't had summer weather yet here so i figured, why not ....

Picture day for my ds's on Thursday..they can't just say the pose & colour of the background I have to choose....5 different poses, 5 different colours ??? I want it EASY

In 1 week today I will be in FLORIDA!!!!
We are having one heck of a humid day here....it is the first day of fall today!!!

 

[donaldduck352]

everyone.Looks like alot of homies heading to Orlando real soon.Don't worry its plenty hot and humid here still,so pack shorts!!

 

[keishashadow]

picture day @ skool, most always goofy...whatever happened to handing kids a comb before their turn?

i have a feeling most of us don't sleep the night before our vacations anyway, why not pack then to pass the time?

mac thanks for the detailed scoop. Honestly, im surprised the resorts still accept packages anyway...thinking possible security issues

CSR is the only one that has a charge for holding parcels for guests.
any of the resorts at the motherland that are also convention centers have that charge too.

man, have i been busy today.

i'm just now getting back to the thread.


i decided this evening to repack my suitcase of surprises.
i had to take the stuff out of the box and it still weighs 42 lbs.

one nice thing about it, i'll be coming back home with an empty suitcase or maybe just dirty clothes in that one.
that sounds like a plan!

i received my mailer from the darkside today.
good things happening for ap holders up thru the 15th of october.
woo hoo......

tonight i plan to clean out some shelves in my basement.
tomorrow is garbage day and i always have to throw something out that is useless.

dawnna, i know you are excited about your trip.
i hope it is the bestest one this year for you!

where is scotlass?
i have her pb cups all packed in my goodies suitcase.

if she fails to show up, i'll have to force the homies on the RIP tour to eat them up......

We don't get the mailer - I think because we live outside the US

... and no worries - if you don't get to give scotlass her PB Cups, you can give them to me ... I absolutely PB Cups!!!

 

[Mad Hattered]

Get back to packing, Donkeys!!!

 

[macraven]

Get back to packing, Donkeys!!!

i'm still playing on the computer and forgot to do packing.

thanks for the encouragement homie....

 

[RAPstar]

I haven't started packing yet. I at least did get some of my clothes washed. Mom still has to unpack before I start to pack (we only have one suitcase). But I do have a duffel bag I could possibly use. I will check in a few with what I've washed and see how much room I have.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all and Happy Hump Day!

Two more days until.....HHN 19!

I'm glowing with the news of Blackstone's purchase of Busch Entertainment.

 

[keishashadow]

morning all

no mailer here, yet

 

[circelli]

Thanks Mac..... I believe that EVERYONE deserves a GREAT vacation but DH needs this more than he can imagine...there is nothing like seeing your kids get that smile on their face and start jumping up and down adout The Cat in the Hat
My ds's suitcases are packed, my suitcase is half packed with DH's stuff...I keep changing my mind about my stuff
Get your garbage out homies it's WEDNESDAY

 

[Coach81]
