EEEK my boys just decided they want me to embroider shirts for them. I hope there are enough yucky days to get them done. I still have one more lanyard to make!

Took me 20 mins to get my FP booked. We got all the times we wanted. Phew all that worry for nothing.

Now I can go over my plans again today and make sure I haven't missed anything.

Maybe the crowds will be lower this year

We did ours recently and it was painless as well I am with you on hoping it means low crowds! Just finished on-line check in for PORS (the third and final resort reservation on our triple split stay). Feels good to have FP, ADR's and resorts booked! Now what to do to keep busy

 

[think-like-tink]

Lower crowds would be nice.

My fastpass opens tomorrow. I have not had time to really organize times. Lol I am off work for my daughters grad tomorrow, but have told her that until FP is set we do nothing. Hopefully I can sit during my sons baseball tonight and coordinate time.

Agreed!!!

Up-to-date again with the list- sorry to those of you who have been waiting a while. I've not been on the DIS much, and it wasn't notifying me of new posts here when I did pop by! D'oh!

We're now 47 days out. FP+ day was awful (took four hours!) but we got everything we wanted, and then I was able to adjust times a couple of days later when I thought about the plan a bit better. Looking forward to riding Soarin' a lot!! I'm staying away from videos of the new rides because I want to experience them first hand. Cancelled our JB package as we got a FP+ with no problems. Hoping the issues with FEA are sorted by the time we get there!

Did online check-in this time (didn't bother last time). Need to pre-book our seats (we get last dibs as we fly without kids, and I certainly don't want to spent 9 hours of my wedding anniversary sitting apart from DH!). ESTA is all sorted. Currency will be tricky (thanks Vote Leave... sigh :'( ) as the rate is awful, but it just means fewer treats. We'll probably cancel one of our ADRs, and stick with 3 over two weeks.

Other than that, I'm busy. This time next month I'll be in France with 50 teenagers, so that's kind of the biggest thing on the horizon right now!

I'm not actually stressing about FP too much since out of 5 of us, its only two who want the big roller coasters. At this point I am just booking the whole family into each ride and boys and I will wander/ride quick easy ones while we wait. I may go back and rearrange later, but at this point as long as we get the must rides quickly I'm not worried.

The problem I'm having though is I am booked Aug 27-Sept. 03. 3rd we check out and 1st is a non park day. The 2nd however I plan to go to HS. When I click for my FP options, the calendar that opens only shows August. I cannot find my September dates. Can someone please help so I can finish those last few FPs.

@figmentfan423 What are you making?

Glad to hear your trip is back on @hsmamainva

Friday is July! Which means I can say I go NEXT MONTH and I can see what films will be available on the plane. Hoping Zootropolis is still on the list, as I LOVED it!

The only thing I'm making are sandwiches for our first day of driving so we can keep stopping to a minimum.

Wow ... you are way more talented than me lol. I wish I could make some original, unique items. If it can't be glued, taped or stapled, I can't make it It's a good way to pass the time before your trip though.

Nope. Not the only one. I am having 2 shirts made for DH and I. We will be celebrating 20 years of marriage.
