The NEW Official November 2010 Countdown & Planning Thread ~ Come join us! (Part 2)

So I was not going to do online check in, but today I can and now I am thinking should I or not. We are driving, not flying so the airport part doesn't matter. We have put in a request for connecting room since our oldest will be sleeping in her grandparents room, we have always been given this. We also requested first floor because my DH will be using a cane and my grandma had knee replacement and my grandpa hip replacement this year. So, will doing online check in help or hurt our requests. We have never used it before so I don't really know what to do. Seems our requests have been met fine before but I just don't know. Suggestions???
 

Checked in Online today! So excited. Trying to get things organized and my lists made so don't forget anything. Have one dining reservation I wasn't able to change. Have a list of all the stuff to do this weekend and get everything but last minute stuff packed. We leave Thursday so I know work will be crazy so have to get all the stuff done on the weekend. Have fun everyone who leaves soon and who is already there.
 
Oh No ! I am sure it will all work out but I know you surely did not need the added stress. One year right before we were set to leave my DH crown came off his front tooth, there was no time for the dentist so we picked up adheavsive at the pharmacey and he was extra carefull while away on what he bit into :rotfl:

Sending all you guys extra :wizard: that everyone recovers before your trips ! :goodvibes

In July 2009 my mother in law came with us for a week at Saratoga. I think it was our first day, I pulled a bag of Chocolate UFO's or whatever they're called from Trader Joe's out of my grocery bag. They were supposed to be in the cooler, so they'd melted into a big lump. We were chipping off bits of the chocolate with a knife when my mother in law bit into a piece and her lower front crown broke off. :scared1: She had to wait 8 days til she was back in Texas to have it fixed. She had to go the whole trip smiling carefully so noone could see the hillybilly gap in the front!!

Oh.. and I had my nuclear stress test and Echocardiogram today. I moved up my follow-up appointment so I will know for better or for worse before the weekend. I was hoping, good news, and then I can spend the weekend packing!! I only have one bag packed, but that doesn't count because its always packed. I have a Disney World canvas boat tote that I keep packed with the Disney essentials: sunscreen, lanyards, ponchos, water spritzers, my travel wallet (contains DVC membership card, Choice Hotels card, AAA card, Winn Dixie card, Disney Visa[when I move it there] and some cash), Disney umbrellas, lime green Mickey heads).

You people with the packing list need to add some underwear and socks!! :)

this one is from our 1 night trip we took in March.:) The best unplanned trip ever.

sorry these are so big and obnoxious.
 
Peanut, I will keep an eye out for you. We check in on the 18th and leave the 26th.

My DD14 was given two huge projects Fri. One is her Science Fair project and the other one is on Blackbeard. DH is helping with science which is due Dec. 6th. And the social studies is due while we are gone. She will miss the International Fair Night. She wanted to build a replica of Blackbeard's boat. I told her to go simple and write the research paper. She is in a Spanish Immersion program so I can't help with the translating but I think this will be much easier for her.

We leave Friday and I too now have a sick kiddo in the house! Yesterday I was hoping it was just weather related, maybe he was a little run down (he went to his first UNC basketball game Fri. night). No such luck ~ today he woke up with all the gunk!!! :sick: I guess we'll be taking a trip to the Dr. today. Gotta make sure my "bug" is all better soon!

Just had to say, "GO HEELS!" I went to Carolina. Hope your son is feeling better soon.

Wow, my DH was lucky it happened before we left I guess and not while at WDW, the temporary adheasive worked well enough but he had to be so careful not to bite directly into anything so he did complain a lot during our trip. LOL @ hillbilly gap, I know what you mean its funny :lmao: now but was not at the time.

Best of luck with the test results, I am sure they will turn out good :goodvibes
 
Hey fellow travelers!! Have y'all checked the weather today? I just went to Accuweather for my daily update...all our week (next week) the highs are now 80 and the lows at night are 60..so it's still warming up! So..take out some of y'alls jeans/capris, and add more shorts and tees!!! LOL....I am doing laundry today and will hopefully be about ready tomorrow!! Thurs is a crazy day...so it's pretty much 'killed' in hopes of usefulness for any trip-prep!
Got my tires rotated yesterday...had the sub detailed and waxed..ahhhhh..... I looooove my clean car!! Also got gas..but will get more Fri for sure...its a loooooong way to our airport!
Well...I am off to start sorting laundry!:yay::laundy: I have never been so excited to wash as I am when it's Disney time!!:rotfl:
 
For anyone travelling between Nov 14-21...here is a pic of my family...if you see us say hello:thumbsup2

I'll be sure to say hi if I see you, we're arriving on the 14th and I'll have my lime green DIS turkeys thingy on my bag. :)
 
I love that if I don't like the forecast on one website I can just pick another one and keep looking until I find what I want! Crazy how they don't have the same stuff listed.

I couldn't sleep last night and I swear its because I am so excited about the trip!!
 
At work today physically but mentally already in WDW...

I leave tomorrow

Tonight is last minute packing/running around apartment with girly!roommate spazzing out

Tomorrow AM is SUPER last minute packing (mostly my everyday makeup) and well it's DISNEY DAY! :woohoo:
 
Just checking in real quick...

I have 1 more work day (today) before our trip. DH will be home Thursday. I still have a gazillion things to do, and we leave this weekend for FL.

I am just a teeny tiny bit STRESSED!!!
 
Us too!!! :thumbsup2

Bad news: We all have bronchitis, and DH is getting a strep test this afternoon... Hopefully the cortisone shot and Zpac will make us all better!
yuck!!! i hope you guys get well soon. I just looked at the forecast agian, and now the frist 2-3 days ar predicting rain! Of course it has changed like 5 times in the last 3 days.

I just tried to check in online. I got a weird message at the top about not being able to verify the shipping address or party names, that i needed to try agian. I did it agian and got the same thing. When I checked my email i had 2 confirmations for online checkin?? I guess I am going to have to call.
