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

[Hezzy04]

I have been trying to organize my packing!!! Since we have 2 different reservations at the same resort (added a night to the beginning but couldn't get the discount price) we aren't sure if we will be in the same room or not. If we are told no, we plan to have Bell Services hold our luggage so we won't have to deal with bringing it there to be held in the morning (since it will be coming late on arrival night). That means I have to pack carry on bags with everything we need our first night and first full day!! Not too terribly difficult, but it means I need to decide what we will wear!!

And I know this isn't that interesting...but it somehow makes me feel better to post on our April board!!! I'm just SO excited!!

Don't worry, I completely understand when it comes to posting on the Dis to make yourself feel better about packing and getting everything in order!


I have most of my packing done! I just need to put my morning routine stuff in the bag in the morning and my charger(s) away before I go to work in the morning. I even put out clothes for tomorrow for both work and to change into for the flight. I basically just have to go to work for six hours, that's all there is between me and Disney! It doesn't seem real at all!

I'm just getting on the plane!!!!

 

[coloredimage]

[Tattylou]

Landed for my layover in DC....next plane is taking me to Orlando! Yippee!

 

[Keyneky]

This time tomorrow I'll be finishing breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table and starting Day 1 of 2 at MK!

 

[Tattylou]

I'm on the DME riding to All Star Sports!!! Almost there!!!

 

[Hezzy04]

I'm so jealous!!!! In a week we will be on our way to pick up my daughter from school early to get to the airport!!

 

[coloredimage]

I just finished my last period with students - just an hour left of work and then I'll be on my way!

8 days! 8 days to go!!!

Our little guy has been sick with a "cold" since Sunday, but it has progressively gotten worse to where we brought him to the pediatrician last night. Yup, full blown sinus infection and left ear infection. We got 14 days of antibiotics for him. The good news is, he should be fine and dandy for our trip now!!!

So many of you are heading there today! Safe travels and have fun!

@Mousemommy1 we are at 8 days, too!

Last night when DD announced that we were at 9 days, DH said, "I think you guys have your count wrong. Aren't we leaving on the 29th?" We leave on the 23rd! Luckily I gave the correct dates to his office admin so he is good to go with work, but I can't believe he has been off by a whole six days in his own countdown!

I swear my DH never knows what date we are leaving. He is constantly asking me the dates of our trips...I mean - it's vacation!!! Who forgets the date of vacation?!?!?! I sure don't.

Well, my week is up. I'll be heading home today. It's been a good week, despite spending Thursday in the room with an upset stomach (don't know if it was the "24-hour bug" or over-indulgence catching up with me). I did all my priorities, though, and had fun. I hope everyone still at the start of their trips has a great time and safe travels!

So sorry your time is up and that you were not feeling your best. Leaving day is the Pitts. Time to start planning another trip to make yourself feel better.

Packing is such a non-issue for us, we've done it so many times, and, making it even easier, we drive down. Anything that we think we'll forget to bring, but don't use everyday, just gets shoved in the glove compartment or trunk as we think of it in the weeks leading up to the trip.

The only real hassle in getting ready for the trip is reminding Verizon Wireless that we still exist. We just activated the Jetpack so we can have Internet in the car on the drive down. It is something we always seem to have to do with customer service, because whatever online account we once had for the device vanishes between trips, and (according to the customer service agent I just spoke to) they charge extra to create a new account online versus over the telephone.

Finally into the single digits. 9 days to go!!!!!

By the way, now that I'm home, I'll say I lost my bet: POFQ room assignment with no requests turned out to be 5115 (ground floor, pool side, 2 doors from the "river end" of the bldg - pretty much mirror image of where I stayed in 2014). Not the bldg 6, 2nd floor I predicted, but good spot, clean room, all happy. I went over and explored POP this year, and I know it would be fine and all, and Beach Club is still beautiful in a fantastic area, but POFQ is my WDW Home!

I'm late to this party, but I'm headed to the Contemporary in a TPV room in 9 days!!! Checking in 4/27, leaving 5/3. I have three more nights to work, and then I start packing!!! Getting so excited!! Kids have one week of school left (we homeschool) so there's no better way to start a school break!!!! Yay!!

 

[Hezzy04]

I keep playing the "one week from now" game. And since I know you are all dying to know.....one week from now I will be meeting the Fairy Godmother (or in line still) -- hopefully she is out that day, since I know she has become less of a guarantee!!
