**The Official January 2012 WDW Thread**

[Marshay]

Ok...so I am obsessed as usual. I never post, never reply, always am on DIS though! I think just read and read!

Tonight I just had to post that I am so over excited. We cannot pack too much yet as we are not telling our DS6 until Friday after school. Leaving Saturday morning.

I am listening to Reedy Creek Radio right now- awesome way to get in my WDW mood!

What I wanted to share though..... I scored Ohana ADRs for this SUNDAY dinner at 5:15- OMG. I have been checking forever and finally tonight something popped! Everything at CM and Ohana kept giving me after 9 p.m. .....not going to happen for us!

Also received the Kim Possible DVDs from Amazon today so he watched several episodes. He has no idea why- but liked them! We always have the kids watch movies of the different rides/attractions they will see even if they don't have a clue as to what our plans are! Makes it so much more fun. Tomorrow night is a Nemo night....etc.

For anyone recently at LegoLand- any updates to the bad reviews from when they first opened? We are going no matter what so I know what to expect. I think going with the right expectations is the way to handle all the negatives. DS6 will love it anyway.

And yes....I am an AccuWeather Lover/Hater. UGH I did a bit of a happy dance when I saw high 70s though!

Welcome!! Glad you joined us!!

I hope you can join us at the Dance party on Monday night!

Score! on Ohana

I'm definitely interested in what you think of Legoland. We were gonna go but decided against it since all the reviews were so bad. Maybe things have gotten better now that they've had a few months and crowd levels are down.

I just saw this thread, only 4 more days for us To anyone who is there right now: how are the crowds? This is my DHs first trip to WDW and only my 2nd trip so I am really hoping we will be able to do everything we want to in the 5 days we are there

come 5 pm tomorrow our vacation officially begins We don't start the drive until Friday morning but once hubby is done work tomorrow night... it's vacation time lol.

Just booked a room for Friday night. We will stop about half way and we have our room booked for SAturday night and then check in to OKW on Sunday WOOT WOOT

We've never done the disney junior dance party. The limited videos and photos I can find ... it sure looks like fun. anyone been before? feel free to tell me ALL about it lol. I think DD will love it and looking forward to meeting with some Disers. Are we meeting anywhere in particular or just keeping an eye out for LGMH?

It's almost Disney time

It's almost Disney time

Last year we went to something similar but not toward the very end and all the characters were gone. However the CM had hula hoops out and were playing with the kids and my daughter had fun.

I just changed my schedule this week so we can go to the party and make it a priority. I imagine if last year's was fun w/o the characters, then this one should be tons better and even more fun!

As for meeting - you can go to my PTR and look at the first post for a photo of my family -- or just look for a really tall DH and me and look for LGMH!

But then again, I may just shout out -- any Dissers here??

Hmm, maybe we need a special passcode!!??

You are welcome. Do they have room requests during online registration?

Just one more week left! Going solo, and for the first time ever...this is going to be quite an adventure!

LOL a special animal call or something

Ok I'm ready to leave now. I've got all the medicine packed into one ziploc baggie, toiletries in another ziploc baggie. I have all our sock and underwear in ziploc baggies. one baggie for my, one for DD and one for DH lol because I always hate digging around the suitcase looking for the socks that ended up buried at the bottom.

almost all the laundry is done. the only thing left is the bedding tomorrow.

clothes are packed... a smaller bag with a couple days worth of clothing is also packed.

most of the food other than the cold stuff is packed.

the van has been cleaned... inside and out

I'm on the search for more songs for the ipod

other than that... we are ready to go

To online check in or Not???????

We just have a standard room at All Star Sports would love something close to the food court...

So do I online check in and request that? Or show up and check in and request?

On a side note we will be in Disney for my Birthday. And honestly I have had some pretty horrible birthday. From when I was little having a winter birthday party stinks, 1/2 the kids wont show up cause they were sick or it snowed...one year I did a 1/2 birthday so I could do a pool party and yeah it snowed in June...and as of recently the last few birthday havent been great either, almost got fired one year (I quit 2 months later thankfully), hubby was out of the country or 2 years and last year he ended up working out of town and all my lives in Mass...

So anyway thought I just might mention to the CM that I never have good birthday so planned a disney trip to make up for 33 horrible birthday...and hope for some disney magic (of course not expecting it but it would be nice if something did happen)...

So do I check in online?

We leave on Saturday!!! I'm at the point of super excitement, and I need to start packing! It's a trip with just me and my mom and we are so ready to be in Florida!!! Can't wait to get on the ME and be headed right to the World, and right now I'm about pinching myself that we will be there Saturday night!

 

[brobrosmom]

You are welcome. Do they have room requests during online registration?

Yes but I think it was just things like ground floor, close to transportation, pack n play, and refrigerator. I don't remember seeing if you could request a specific building.

Online check in had the option to select close to transporation which would be close to the food court. Not sure which way has better luck.
