The all New *OFFICIAL JUNE* 2011 thread! Some like it hot!

[SnowWhite33]

They were $1 which I thought was pretty reasonable for a 2 pack!

I already bought ours in the box. I bet I could have used my $1 coupon and made them free too

Just 28 more days to go!!!!

It will have been a year since we've been to WDW and in that time there have been changes and new things to look forward to:

-New interactive ques for Winnie the Pooh and Haunted Mansion
-A change for the hitchhiking ghosts at Haunted Mansion
-New acts to see in the China and UK pavilions at Epcot
-New resort mugs
-Newly renovated Lego store at DTD
-New Meet and Greet spots with Mickey/Minnie/Princesses/Fairies
-All new Star Tours 3D!!!!
-Phineas and Ferb meet and greet-FINALLY

I bet I've missed something, but with just this list we have so many new things to do!

I've been lurking a lot on this thread, and like many of you, I am getting SO anxious for our upcoming trip.

I don't have a crafty count down calendar because my family and I don't live in the same house... I think that is one of the reasons I am looking forward to this trip so much.

Last August I made the decision to go back to school for an advanced degree. My husband and daughter stayed home and I moved about 100 miles away. I see them only every other weekend. It has been so hard for so many reasons, but most importantly it is my daughter's senior year of high school. I've been there for all the important things (prom, banquets, etc.) but still feel like I have missed so much. I know I am doing this for the right reasons and in the long run my family will be better off for it but lately it has gotten harder.

This trip will allow us to spend 11 full days together AND at the Happiest Place on Earth. So.... I guess this post is just to say that this trip is even MORE anticipated than the average trip.

37 days to go!

We will be at CSR 6/6-6/15, so some of our dates are overlapping. Have you ever stayed at CSR before? This will be our first trip there as a family and I'm so excited about it. In the pictures it is just beautiful We will be requesting the Casitas bldng 4 or 5.

If you have booked a package and paid it off, you should be seeing your Mickey Mail any day now. It never hurts to call and ask about it though.

Well, it is with great sadness that I tell you that we have had to cancel our June trip. I actually cancelled a couple of weeks ago, but I was too sad to come on here and remove my ticker!

My dh is probably going on strike in June, so obviously it would be wise to put the trip off for now. I will hopefully begin planning another trip as soon as everything gets settled with his job security. I will just try to focus on the positives like more time to save for the next trip, as well as more of the park expansions being complete! Have fun on your trips everyone! I may be joining the June 2012 thread soon!

New acts to see in the China and UK pavilions at Epcot:

Do you have any info about these two new acts? I had heard the acrobats were taken out, but I hadn't heard what they were replaced with. And there's something new in the UK too? I hope they still do the World Showcase players there -its one of our favorites!

Hope you have a fabulous trip! And yay for having your first post be on this June thread!!!

Let's talk luggage!

We need new luggage and really can't decide what to do. Last set we bought was 6 years ago and was about $60 for the set. Pretty happy with how long it lasted and how much it's been through. 2 trips per year flying and several more driving.

but....we now travel significantly more. So I'm thinking I should really buy some nicer luggage. Have also read the threads about people liking the drop bottom duffle bags. I've looked at them and they really look much more flimsy that what I'm used to so that worries me.

Do any of you Junies have luggage opinions?? Help a girl out before I start stressin'!
