*** The Official August 2018 Thread*** - let's have some fun....

[Monykalyn]

Ds can pull back the curtain and see Woody, Rex and Bo Peep.

Yay you made it! Sounds like a fun view too! And maybe good decision to chill and rest and be ready to go for tomorrow!!

We opted out of mousekeeping in June-but we were in a cabin so we had space to spread out. I'm not opting out this trip-even though it is just 2 of us, it is DH birthday and our anniversary.

Got DD's last work schedule, I am much more sad about her Disney adventure coming to an end than she is...Ah well, we are still kicking around idea of a late December/early january trip to see holiday stuff at Universal.

Kinda sorta started gathering stuff for the trip...

Thanks all, I was on the way to Bell Services to get the groceries when I ran into the delivery guy. I asked him if he had our groceries. He said he didn't but he would grab them on his next trip. He was back about 10 minutes later. I unpacked everything and realized I forgot the milk for ds' cereal when I went to the food court earlier. It will be a short walk in the morning. Both kids are snoring so I better join them or they'll be running circles around me tomorrow.

I would like to plan an additional trip to visit Universal as well. My daughter is obsessed with Harry Potter, my son and I are huge Jurassic World fans, we all love Marvel and Minions and my son loves the Transformers.

I can’t believe August is just about here!! DD and I are so excited we just started packing last night! DH and boys think we are nuts! Getting all the non clothes stuff together, and even some of the Disney clothes and tees ( shorts will have to wait until next week since Kids still need to wear them). We were last in the parks in 2016 so pulled together that one matching set of tees and everyone still fits into their shirt except one DD (who has had a nice growth spurt!) oh well! We had another set made up anyway for this trip so we will just pack them. Also we like to do a day where we all dress up in our Phillies gear.....except DD grew out of her shirt. She reminded me she has her Eagles shirt (she had to have this year! ) so that will work....Philly sports day theme! So if you see a family where five are in Phillies gear and one wearing Eagles that would be us!! All other days are non matching! Getting excited!!

We leave tomorrow! Going to take DD to get our nails done and then pop into the grocery store for a few items. Then back home to finish up our suitcases. This Aug. thread has been fun, I'll make sure to drop in during the week to update you guys.

We leave for my happy place August 19th! I want to start packing, but my kids use the clothes that I plan to pack. My oldest DD (8) is going with a friend to the DE beaches the week prior - I'm still trying to figure out how we'll get her clothes packed. Thank goodness for the washer & dryer in our room!

 

[Mika02]

[Tulles]

We leave on Friday and even though I started packing this weekend I'm almost in panic mode thinking of all the things I still have to do. Won't relax until we're in the car on our way to the airport at noon on Friday I think.

What has everyone decided to do with regards to housekeeping? I still haven't decided whether to turn it down or not for the gift card.

I genuinely like having my bed made for me every day, did not even consider it - but $70 would be a nice bit back...
