***The Official April 2016 Thread!***

I feel like I have so much to get done, nothing to do right now, and no time to do anything all rolled into one torturous little ball!

We are at 26 days today. I'm working on finishing up a research paper due on Thursday (but I need the almost-final draft done today so a few people can review it), and then I can start focusing on packing for Disney! Our first set of MBs arrived on Saturday (DD was ecstatic!) and yesterday was the last day to customize our second set (split stay). We haven't received the DME luggage tags yet, but I need to call them today anyway to make sure they have the correct flight info. I thought I updated it when we changed our flights, but I can't remember now...

I got mine on Friday I think? About a week after I got our MBs. Of course it didn't have our updated info on it so I fixed that Friday afternoon.

25 days left for us! We got our first set of magicbands on Saturday and the other set is in the mail (we added an extra night and our discount was full so had to book a separate reservation)! Does anyone know when DME stuff usually comes! I assume any time now?

Might start packing today!

We're going 4/23-5/2. Our MK days are planned for 4/26, 4/28, and 5/1. 4/28 was EasyWDW's most recommended MK day for the week - so I just have that small worry in the back of my mind that the new "After Hours" event could make it more crowded when I was really looking forward to going at a lower crowd time. The good thing is that we will have multiple days at MK to fit everything in that we want to see/do.

Beesly- I am in the same boat with my family. Our MK days are 4/24, 4/26, 4/28 (see you there!). I think there might be some small impact at 7pm, but the "after hours" ticket might also make the earlier part of the day more manageable. Since it offer little value when added on to a regular day ticket, it might have people rethink their plans and go ONLY in the evening, thereby making crowd levels better for the early afternoons. We are a RD family so we are sticking with our original plans, but the only way an "After Dark" ticket is worth it is if you are doing something else before 7pm.

Well, I happen to have a very lovely 10yo son who is NOT being raised with that entitled mentality. Let me know if you want to sort out an arranged marriage. My three sons are being raised to know that if you want something, you have to work hard for it!

Hey! Sounds like a plan! My hubby and I were pre-arranged by his father, and we'll be celebrating our 19th anniversary in May.

25 days until arrival for us! Setting things aside to be packed, but haven't broken out the suitcases yet. I am thinking about shipping sun screen, aloe, soaps and shampoos, etc.

I've got a decent list of items saved on amazon. Does anyone have feedback on shipping to a resort?

My favorite Disney memory: getting a High Five from Goofy. Completely unplanned! He was walking towards me (going to take a break, I guess) and we both put our hands up at the same time. It was so cool!

 

[efam]

6 days for us!!! And I'm still trying to get that BOG ADR...

 

[ReyFan]

April 16-24 at CBR.....Our 4th stay since 2006 at Disney and our second time at CBR. It's been a few years so it's time to go back...even though the kids are now teens.

I really did love the look of CBR when I stayed there two years ago. Hopefully I'll go back sometime soon - hope you enjoy it again!

So my plan yesterday was to get my suitcase out of my storage unit today (I miss having them in my hall closet - soon it'll be back to that!) but I ended up having to run a different errand after work and went home a different way. So I stopped today!

...and I didn't have my key with me. Oops. I don't have a meeting tomorrow so this time I'm definitely (hopefully) getting my suitcase! And hopefully my ears....the chevron ones in my profile picture are MIA. I'm hoping that I tried to make life easier for myself and kept them in my suitcase so I knew where they were this trip.

16 days!! I didn't get my DME tags yet tho. I'm getting worried. I'll call today.

 

[Tattylou]

Ugh...I just called and they didn't have my flight info!! This is the 3rd time I've called to give it to them so not sure why that keeps happening. Anyway, she said 7-10 business days til they arrive, which is cutting it close bc I leave 2 weeks from Fri!!!

 

[Hezzy04]

How many days out should we be getting luggage tags? I'm 23 days out an was assuming any time now...?
