We haven't gotten ours for this travel date either, I'll watch the mail anxiously for a few days. That will give me something to do!

My travel agent has my luggage tags! She was waiting until the rest of the paperwork came before calling me. I may just have to go pick them up now...it is too exciting! My magic bands should be shipping tomorrow too!

I'm all for efficiency, and congrats to your travel agent for wanting to have everything at once, but I'D WANT MY TAGS!!!

I'm glad I am not the only person that would make a special trip to the travel agent to pick them up...lol. In reality, her office is right down the street from work, so it wouldn't be a big deal to pop in and pick them up. I may do that this afternoon...I need some Disney in my day today!!!

 

[AZMermaid]

Got the email that my magic bands shipped!

You know, for a group whose trips begin in less than a month, we're awfully quiet...

I am ready. Just confirmed this week that we are still good to go for the 2nd half of June. Ready for our week at WBC and then Orange Lake for a week. Half of our FPs are booked with a dummy campsite reservation for a night. APs let me get an additional 5 days worth from that campsite reservation. Now, I just have to wait for the 30-day window for the other days.

Too much end of the school year stuff to do still!

To tell you the truth I have not been too excited for this trip. We haven't been since 2011 and all the changes and the planning you have to do now is not giving me the warm fuzzies. I feel like it will be too regimented and not fun. Plus we haven't been in summer since 2008 and it looks like crowds will be really bad and I refuse to stand in line for more than 30 minutes for a 90 second ride so we will probably not be riding anything much either. Just not feeling it.

I tweaked my fastpasses a bit. I need to stop looking at them! Basically- we are doing a PPO BOG hoping to ride 7DMT. We later have a FP for 7D. I feel like there is a 60% chance my 5 year old will not want to ride again. She knows she needs to ride everything once and after that- she can decline. Later that day, she is doing BBB and she and I have FP to meet Cinderella and Elena while DH and DS6 have FP for Space Mt. which I decided not to make her try. Then we will all meet back for CRT. Anyway, I realized if I moved the Cindy FP back 30 min and she doesn't want to reride 7D, I can possibly change the 7D FP to meet Rapunzel/Tiana. That's a tricky FP to get early same day, but I will try. I guess I could even make it for after Belle which is after lunch and the boys could just hang out or do the teacups or something for a few minutes, with FP it shouldn't take too long. So that is my update!

Very true, I was going to post an update last night but fell asleep early instead!

My magical express tags arrived on Monday, yesterday I got my magicbands and the booklet for my trip in october. I'm pretty sure the mail lady thinks I might be insane.

It's been so incredibly chilly here that I can actually start look at packing outfits for my son. Other than that, I'm trying not to fiddle with anything. 23 days to go! We arrive on May 28th.

Tall the changes and the planning you have to do now is not giving me the warm fuzzies.

Yes, I already know it is going to be super slammed. All the planning has taken the Magic away. You cannot do anything on a whim any more. If you don't schedule it, you aren't going to be able to do it. But, if you schedule A, it is possible you will never be able to do B and C because you did A.

I'm a little depressed as it seems June 2 and 3 arrivals shipped today but mine hasn't...and I'm June 3 too. Bummer.

If you have a good plan, you'll be fine. I went last year, my dad refused to do rope drop and we still never stood in a 30 min line.

For me, I finally got my ToT fastpass when I wanted it (boys are doing ST), which in turn allowed me to get us all Indy ones, and we will all be finished tapping by 12:45 and I can jump on and try to get us Fantasmic ones as our 4th.

We were able to change plans on the fly last year. Not for say 7DMT, but plenty of other stuff.

Really not trying to be rude, but my suggestion is to reserve judgement. If you go into it thinking negative, you sometimes make it so.
