Thank you!

I post on another sports forum (Oklahoma Sooners) and they have a few meteorologists who seem to think that Saturday might not be much with the presence of a strong cap but Sunday east of 1-35 could be interesting. Stay safe.

80 days! Love love love seeing that ticker go down

Did anyone else do anything toward their trip today?

I added another Disney gift card to our ever growing pile. And since Starbucks is there I added more to that as well. I also added a bunch of change to the jar.

Well, I keep reading this thread and thought I would add our family to the list! It will be myself, husband, DS 12 and nephew 12! We're headed down from Portland, arriving July 8th and staying through the 12th and staying at the DLH. I think I'm the most excited one of the bunch . Hope the crowds aren't as bad as I anticipate....sure can't be any worse than the previous Halloweentime visits...can it? :/

Thanks and you too.. Since you and I are close to each other we'll probably get it at the same time if it hits.

[Cali Girl At Heart]

Woohoo!! Today is the day...I get to buy my Ridemax software and the REAL planning can officially begin!!! I've been anxiously awaiting the 90-day mark and it's finally here!!

Yes, I admit it, I'm a Disney maniac!

So if I want to book dining reservations for July 19 and July 22, do I call two months out or 60 days out? And for Fantasmic Dessert package on July 20 ( my bday!!!) is that exactly 30 days out?

We've been on a Saturday in July and it wasn't nearly as crowded as our Halloween trip last year!

Hmm. Favorite music. That's a hard one. I love so many! I love the Tiki room. If it's Christmas I love the Main Street loop. Love it! And at dca I love the songs mater sings at the junkyard jamboree.

You can do this online or call in. Today you can make dining reservation for June 25th so if I counted the dates correctly, on May 21st, you can make reservations for July 19th and then everyday after that for the next day of your vacation.

I am impatiently waiting for our day to get here so I can start our ADR's... Before we changed our minds and decided to migrate west to DLR. I had already made our WDW ADR's. You can make reservations 180 days out for Disneyworld.

Waiting for 60 days has been a little to much for this guy...

"How Do You Do?" in Splash Mountain.

That's my favorite by far

Howdy to all the new Juy-ers!!!!

My trip to Las Vegas is over, so now I don't have to split my vacation planning time between LV & Disneyland!

My MIL took care of DDs while we were gone and one thing I suggested Auds do with Grandma was to look at the Disneyland books we have and view web sites so she could get more ideas of what she wants to do. Her basic attitude is "I just want my granddaughters to be with me and have fun". Which is great! But I also want her (and my SIL) to come up with things to get them excited too. When Grandma left she said she might go out and buy the same book I have (Unofficial Guide). Yay! She's getting more excited!

Glad you made it back home safe... hope you have a super time (Pleasure and/or Business) Looks like Grandma is getting ready for Disney..

You all have great song choices.. Love them all too... have weekend to everyone.

-- Would you keep my DD's BF Bailey in your thoughts on Monday.. 14 year old girl having open heart surgery. Putting a pace maker in.. doctors are very optimistic that she will recover quickly and go home in 2 days..

WOW!!! Medical Technology has really moved on...

So I was looking at our dates for both our Disney Trips ( Going to WDW in Sept after DL in July ) .. I find it amazing that I have my WDW dining all planned out and booked but I am still 76 days out from DL and can not book any dinners yet LOL ... So as a WDW vet I am still learing things about DL .. we are 4 adults and 1 child staying in the DLH my question is we picked the DLH for our 12 year old son and the fact that our 22 and 19 year old girls can go back to the resort and never have to leave Disney Property .
I am thinking of booking a world of color package but am still unsure if it is worth the money ? Has anyone done this ?? I think since it is our first trip it maybe soemthing that is worth it but with 5 days in the parks is it something I can just get a FP for ? Also the lines for Elsa and Anna are they just as bad in DL as they are in WDW ? I want to go see them but not one person in my family is intrested ...

We don't realize how lucky we all are sometimes.. a 14 year old needing a pace maker Hopefully everything will go smoothly and she'll make a quick recovery. Best wishes to her
As we say in Ireland; I'll light a candle for her I hope your dd is ok about it!

Back to your question: Hate to admit it but 'It's a small world' is a favorite of mine
