The "Dumbo or Die" Pre Trip report.. updated 9/5

[justakrazymom]

I have my planner all reorganized and ready to go..in fact I just put it in the Stow n Go part of my van to be sure I don't forget it..lol..318 hours and counting:

The cards I made with park hours for whichever park we plan to be in, our ADR info and parade/show times. I keep this in my backpack once we are in Disney.

TP info sheets:

Pockets for each day.I throw all receipts in there at the end of the day so once we check out I can compare the charges.

DME info, our mickey mail, our photopass + voucher and MNSSHP tickets.

13 days and I am even more ready now!

[justakrazymom]

I was thinking of packing my dd's luggage now because she has so much stuff...with all the laundry done it is making it hard to put her clothes away. However... I suspect I would be saying the same thing. Just how full her closet and dresser remain after I pack!!!

[justakrazymom]

I just did online check in for resort #1.. we are now at 8 days until we leave!

 

[justakrazymom]

The van we are taking down is all ready to be packed.. so anything that can go in will tonight. I've also packed all 3 younger kids totally. The boys will be wearing the same 3 outfits in rotation for the next 7 days but that's ok..they don't go to school so no one will really notice..lol

188 hours til we head south!

 

[ZehnJahren]

Are you going to write another TR? Can't remember what you said. I'm thinking about doing a live TR while down there this time.

Yep..sure am..but def not a live one. I really want to NOT use the computer and such while we are on vacation. I may pop on to say things occasionally but mostly I want to live in the Disney moment!

I was thinking about doing it from my phone. After all, you stand in line and have all this extra time - I'm going to be on my phone anyway, since I use it as my camera, why not just narrate during the trip. Then I can come home and fill in the blocks.

Well, if you do a TR, I'll be following along! Maybe I'll see you in the parks!! I don't see a "day by day" itinerary for you guys, but you never know!

We'll be in Epcot on the 19th and AK on the 20th, so I'll look for your family when I'm walking around. If you notice a short blond staring intently at you (while trying to figure out if it's you or not), say hi!
