The NEW Official November 2010 Countdown & Planning Thread ~ Come join us! (Part 1)

[lizzyb5280]

which is why I am not looking at anything!!! I will want to change my stuff around if I keep looking...I will wait till closer to time..... I am still thinking I might change my days around a little bit...we typically do DHS on a Monday...I did it a different day this time...I feel like I need to go back and change it....do any of you tend to do a certain park on the same day of the week each time? I think though with the crowd levels being predicted to being so low, it doesn't really matter what day I do what!!! Hopefully!! I just really want to avoid any park that has an EMH time....I think other than that we are good!!

FWIW, DHS has PM EMH on the Monday you are there. (AK also has AM EMH that day.) So it sounds like if you want to avoid EMH parks, you'll want to stick with your current plan and give up the Monday tradition.

I'm at work, getting ready to be done for the day and then we are heading to a graduation party tonight and back to the beach through Tuesday.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and a good Fathers Day to all our DH's!

They look interesting, never seen them before, you will have to let us all know how they work out. I have to look for a new pair of tennis shoes, the ones I have are a lil worn on the soles

Packing: do any of you use those packing folders/sleeves or cubes? I think I am gonna get the folders for dh for sure...that man just hasn't mastered the art of packing...he tends to overpack and stuff is just horrid looking in that suitcase!!!! I love the stuff by Eagle Creek....I think it will help us get along a lot better if he has those!!! I stress over stuff like that and think about it everytime I walk in and see those clothes hangin out everywhere!!

I did the zip-lock bags labeled by day for my 4 kids last yr...worked AWESOME...made for more space in the suitcases and kept everything neat and organized for their clothes for each day...no confusion in the morning for the kids or DH!

I just packed up DS for BSA camp for 1 week and did the same thing

Dchi - go to visitflorida.com/share I think you send a postcard from that site to yourself/family member, the resulting email will take you to another part of the visit florida site & you should then be able to register for a SW code. It took a full week for the SW code to come. There are blackout dates. Try this thread - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2476089

Thanks!
Michelle

Who was the email for the SW code from? Was it Visit Florida or Southwest? I signed up almost 2 weeks ago and never received a code?

Initial postcard email was from Share a Little Sunshine [invitations@visitflorida.messages2.com]

I went to that site & then registered for the SW code. The SW code came from Southwest Airlines and Visit Florida [SouthwestAirlines@luv.southwest.com]

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

I just booked DS16's flight down to Orlando on SW. He will fly with my mother and stepfather. He's riding back with us. We're leaving 2 days earlier and he can't miss more than 2 days of HS. I'm letting him miss the Mon. and Tues. of Thanksgiving week.

I have one in Elem., one in Middle School and one in HS! They will be in 3rd, 8th and 10th. Can you tell who was the SURPRISE?

I think it is more a question of how bad do you want to see Rick Springfield? .....Myself I would stick with going 11/10 during F&W since it is one of the reasons we planned our vacation when we did, also last year at F&G I loved seeing and hearing Paul Revere & Raiders ...it was a real blast from my past

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good morning November friends

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. We had a wedding to go to last night, a graduation party this afternoon, and then of course Father's Day tomorrow. Not sure what we will do after Church, whatever DH wants I guess!

I did the zip-lock bags labeled by day for my 4 kids last yr...worked AWESOME...made for more space in the suitcases and kept everything neat and organized for their clothes for each day...no confusion in the morning for the kids or DH!

I just packed up DS for BSA camp for 1 week and did the same thing

I used to do that for the boys. Until they went and got big on me! I could probably still do it for DS8 1/2, he's pretty small for his age. But DS11 is nearly as big as me!

I have one in Elem., one in Middle School and one in HS! They will be in 3rd, 8th and 10th. Can you tell who was the SURPRISE?

 

[sjs314]

If anyone is interested I found out about this offer on Dis late last night and ordered one, picking it up today will make a nice surprise for DH......The code is GOBIG8X10 and is good thru today 11/19 I believe

 

[tree320]

Who was the email for the SW code from? Was it Visit Florida or Southwest? I signed up almost 2 weeks ago and never received a code?

Just make sure you send it to yourself. It is the person who gets the email that gets the $25 off code not the person that sends it. I the email right away, then had to click on something to say yes I wanted a code. The code took about a week to be sent.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I got a new ticker!!!!!!!!!!!

It stinks to start over, but my old one was boring me. Oh well, it's still the same amount of time no matter how you look at it!


How about a QOTD??? I don't think we've had one since last weekend when we were still posting pictures!

I hope this wasn't already asked. . .


What is your favorite Disney snack?

There are so many good ones. . . But I'll have to go with a Dole Whip Float!

 

[KSBelle]

QOTD--Pineapple Dole Whip----YUMMY!!!!!!

This morning I was able to book the Magic Behind the Steam Trains Tour. I had been trying for along time to book it but they kept telling me that they were not sure it would be running because of the expansion and now today they let me book it. I just hope they don't change their minds. Have any of you done this tour?? and how did you like it????

 

[Farmersue]

I am so excited to join the November group. It will be just me and my husband as my 2 teenage boys don't want to come. I went to the travel agent on Monday and they had no club level rooms available with the 40% off pin but when I called to book on Thursday, the wonderful guy at Disney said there was a room and it only cost me $94 more. Grabbed that room with a savanna view!!! I am sooooo excited as this is our first trip to Disney since 1998. With a dairy farm, not always able to find someone to cover for us but the boys will watch over things while our milker takes care of the cows.
I have booked Crystal Palace Dinner for 11/16. Thinking of doing Mickey Merry christmas party but not sure if it's worth the money. Also, what is people take on Mickeys Backyard BBQ?
Can anyone point out how I can do the ticker? Thanks for all the wondrful info I have gotten already and all the info I will get in the future Sue

Welcome to the November Group ! I have never done Mickeys Backyard BBQ and this year is our first time doing MVMCP also but I am sure someone here can tell you more about both.

 

[Px4]

QOTD: What is your favorite snack?

Like everything else, I can't just pick one! You are seriously asking way to much of me! LOL So here are my favorites!
Dole Whip Float
Cinnamon Bun from MSB
POPCORN! Do they have their own special butter there? Cause I could seriously eat a bucket or two a day on my own! LOL
And of coarse, Mickey Bars!
