I like to be prepared too. My biggest debate right now is the poncho. Do I bring it?You? Enabler? Never!I tend to carry way more than I probably need in my purse, but I like to be prepared.
I do!LL - I didn't know you had a cat named Sully!
You and CP inspired me to just go ahead and order some clothes for Tom. I got him swim trunks and two pairs of shorts form JC Penney. He won't wear shirts from there so he is on his own with shirts for summer. I'm not feeling the baggalinis either. I see why they are popular but they just don't do it for me. I ordered the mini hipster. Since we will have the baby Tom will carry a regular backpack and I will have the mini hipster for cellphone and KTTW and sunscreen and that is about all it will hold I believe. I say get the cute bag because otherwise you may buy a very expensive in park purchase of something you may never use again.[COLOR="Purple" Madeline actually doesn't wear glasses anymore. In first grade she was diagnosed with amblyopia. One eye was extremely farsighted, which is uncommon in children. She had prescription glasses to correct for the farsightedness in her eye and a patch to wear over the other eye so that the farsighted eye could regain its ability to see at a distance. The patch had to be worn a ton, including time at WDW, because she was already 7 when she was diagnosed, but it worked. Her vision is about 20/30 and surprisingly, she's outgrown the farsightedness.
I have amblyopia and so do my mother and sister. My sister is the only one who had to wear a patch. We both got treated by great docs very early and we both only wear reading glasses now. My moms was not caught properly and she is legally blind without her glasses. My eyes used to actually cross. The patch my sister had to wear was waaay worse than they are now. She had to wear it all but 30 minutes of awake time. It was a large bandage that went on her skin. People thought she had lost her eye. And after that she had to wear glasses for 4 years that had a foggy patch on the lens. It was way better but still not great. But fortunately it worked and she is great. Luckily my kids show no signs of it. I get their eyes checked every 6 months because of the heredity.
[quote="cjackearl, post: 31530346"] George-hasn't had new shorts for a few years because he doesn't buy anything for himself. I'll have to pick them up for him. Any store suggestions?
I also printed out a ton of stuff on photopass from the stitchinkingdom site. I'm in a photopass share this trip. Last trip we got NO photopass pictures taken so I'm anxious to try this out in June. Any tips?
Finally, I was inspired by LL's bag decision '09 to take a look at my bag options. I use a hipster as a daily bag, but I just don't think it's quite big enough to be my primary park bag. I mentioned to my MIL that her new Bagallini was the type I was considering for my Disney bag and she offered to let me take it. I tried to decline but she was adamant, so I took it. Here's the rub: I don't really like it.
Now, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and free is definitely a good price and I certainly don't want to offend her, but I just don't know. Maybe it will grow on me if I use it around town and like how it works.

Spring fever! Cleaning, sorting, shopping, organizing!
I feel like I have accomplished so much just listening to you all!
Seriously. I am slowly picking up steam! I mulched all day. And I bought crocs!
What kind of crocs did you buy?
I have the Disney Poncho. I bought one after it rained horribly our first day and ruined our dollar store ones. Then....I didn't need to use it for the rest of the trip.
Isn't that one of Murphy's laws?

Sorry my replies are so out of order.
Mulching somehow keeps getting pushed to the bottom of my to do list.

Thanks for all of the great pictures!Hi there - I am new to the boards and just found your report. We are going to be there at the same time as you, so it has been fun reading about all of your planning. You actually have inspired me to consider writing a pre-trip report myself, since it's so nice to have all of your info in one place.
All of your plans look great so far. You know what is funny is that I was comparing your itenerary to mine and we only overlap parks on one day (AK). I just think it's so funny how much time & planning goes into these trips and even when visiting at the same time, everyone comes out with a different plan.
Writing this trip report has been much more fun than I even anticipated and you're right, it is so nice to have everything in one spot. If you start one, let me know and I'm there.
IT was ubber crowded (it may have been the time?) but trying to keep my eyes on them (just worried someone would fall or break a bone!) among the other kid chaos in there was a little stressful... I think maybe when it is less crowded would have been better --not sure about the "when" -- I guess your older DD might not really get into this one now?
