Ok I'm going to hope that the following week is just as good as this looks!!!!

Me too!

i have a silly question im sure but we are driving so we wont get luggage tags or anything but will we still get some kind of Mickey Mail since we booked a package through Disney?? Just curious..Thanks

Yes, I would think you should receive your info packet from Disney. . . It has all your info and vouchers in it.

You will get Mickey Mail.

We are driving but got luggage tags.

Thank You!!! My dh gets the mail on most days so he will be the lucky duck to see it first He wont open it without me though..yippee..Im excited

Doing the 30 Day Dance!!!!!!!!



I had Mickey Mail like 3 straight days. I was disappointed when nothing came yesterday.

But I should still get packages. I have an order out for Crocs for dd and I to wear to the airport and an order for some trip stuff (luggage tags, card holders for our lanyards, pens, an extra autograph book).

I am just about finished with our memory books...just need more printer ink. Now if I could just get those t-shirts made.

And at 5am this morning I was able to secure a Crystal Palace reservation for our dinner on our MK day. Had one but it was for 2 people cuz I didn't count my baby. It's 2 hours earlier but I'll deal with it. Might even work out better.

You still get luggage tags, they aren't ME tags just luggage tags. We've gotten them both of our previous trips and we always drive.

Just look for the blue envelope to arrive! At least it was blue in the past when I received one Mine probably won't arrive until next week or week after.

Hi all - I haven't been on here in weeks. Trying to catch up on all the new posts. I hope all of you (and your families) are better. Time to start thinking about what to pack and checking the long range forecast. Talk to you all later.

Guess what I got in the mail today?

I got a Photopass card?! I never got one in the mail before. I was like I have a couple photopass cards. This one has the same design on it that the birthday one that we used last time. I am still bummed about that. We had a birthday photopass card that gave us 20% off our order. We activated our account and had 30 days. We got really busy towards the end of the 30 days and accidentally didn't get to the site in time to order our pics. Now they're gone forever!

The photopass letter says to Register this card before your trip to receive special offers and much more!! I'm going to register it RIGHT NOW!! I wonder what they'll offer me?

 

[MichaelaMouse]

I haven't gotten my Mickey Mail yet....well, I got the Magical Express package but not the package one yet. I'm sure that last time we got it before this point. Should I be worried??

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Our mail came right around 40 days out. Those of you who are 2-4 weeks out and haven't received your stuff should definitely call!

What about putting your child on the state insurance program for children? Check into it. There is no shame in taking advantage of what the government has available for your children. You are just reaping back some of what you have paid in taxes. That way you won't have the worry of medical care for the kids while your dh is out of work. In PA it is called CHIP (or at least it was, I think they may have changed it). I'm not sure what it is called in the northern most southern state. Might be the same thing. Btw, my mil's family is located in the same state and her father was one who used to set the explosives in the mines fifty years ago.

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. CHIP. I think its called CHIP in most states. I don't know if there is a cost, but if there is, it would be based on what you can afford. It is your tax dollars at work, so you deserve them. Its for your children afterall. My friend had her children on it in West VA until she got a new job (with a health insurance company in fact).

Magical express stuff or your package vouchers? From what I uderstand the ME tags come about that time, and the package vouchers later. We don't fly,so I don't know aobut ME, but our package vouchers are usually mailed out at 30 days, and get here a few days later.

Well, I am posting from the hospital. My son's asthma flared up so we had an ER trip and are now spending the night. Hope to get out tomorrow we will have to see how it goes.

Ack! Stick a fork in me, I am DONE! I quit! After I posted the other day, we ended up in the ER for a day and night. DD2 has impacted bowels. No idea why or what is causing it. We were sent home on Monday to try at home treatment. Followed up yesterday at her Ped office and go back tomorrow. Not sure what the next plan of action is since she still isn't pooing much. Her CT came back good. Just alot of poo. Our medical insurance ends in 10 days! So I am really worried that if something goes wrong or she needs to see a specialist, they will turn us away since we don't have insurance.

My vans appraisal is insane! $920 for a cracked bumper and broken fog lamp!!! They have to replace the entire bumper. Its crazy. Our deductible is $500. It was suppose to be $250. I have a investigation into why it was changed. It feels like we are in a monsoon and can't get out!

But onto the good news, we did rebook our trip. We are booked from June 5-12 at AKL Pool View. We didn't want Savannah and DH wants close to the Lobby and Pool. So I get to do ADRs all over again in Dec. Hopefully this trip will work out. Probably not, but we are going to try. DH still doesn't have a job. So we are making plans without knowing what we can plan for. Several jobs in the area have set vacations like the job he was at. So we may be out of luck with this one too. I dunno... But we couldn't just cancel. It was to heartbreaking. We have never been so early in June. We normally go the 3rd/4th week of June. Atleast it shouldn't be as crowded. But I was really looking forward to going during the cooler weather! We did get our other trip refunded, well, all but the $200 that we moved to our new reservation. Right now, I feel we need the money. Once DH is working again, then we will pay it off. ::knocking on wood::

I'm hoping that all will be well for you both soon.

Hi.....new to the thread! We got our Mickey Mail today! We got a Photopass card that we can pre-register in our papers. I'm guessing this is something new Disney does? Anyway, if I register the card,will it expire 30 days from the time I register it or 30 days after the first picture is put on the card? TIA!

My ME tags came around 40 days and then the package/vouchers came about 2-3 days later.

Have any of you been following this thread: "Pictures where kids hate the characters"? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2547660
I'm sitting here laughing helplessly on a night when I really, really need some laughter.

Just finished washing and ironing DGD's Alice dress that she's planning to wear to breakfast at 1900 Park Fare.

I'm just so amazed that we'll be leaving in only 24 DAYS! (seems like only a couple of weeks ago when it was months away)

Got ME tags awhile ago, and the rest of the Mickey Mail last week. Printed out all my ADR confirmation emails to bring with since two are still missing online, but the CM I spoke to was able to confirm all of them for me.

The way I understand the Photopass card is when you arrive back home you download all the pics you had taken in Disney using that card , then you have 30 days from that point to place your order, so you can register the card now before you leave.

You might have seen it before, but we don't have cable or watch much tv so it was lovely for me to dream for a moment
