Mine don't ship for another week but I think you guys have made me come to the decision that I won't be tracking them. I'll likely still do it though because I'll need something to do!

Anyone else get like me and get to the point where you feel like there is nothing else new for you to look up or plan?! It's like planning a wedding. There's a lot up front, followed by a little in the middle (ADRs and FPs) and then it's just waiting until the big day!

I keep messing with things - move this ADR here... move this FP there... anything to pass the time... I'm hoping for an 8am MK opening on the 4th of July so I am waiting to jump on switching up FP that day... we like to go from 8 - 10am and then get outta there!

Who is watching the live stream of Happily Ever After tomorrow night or waiting to watch next month for the first time?

We watched the last Wishes last night live... I wore my Wishes t-shirt to bed (pathetic I know)... and will watch HEA tonight... I feel like it is such a long name... so I'm working on nicknames... "ever after" "Happily" ...

Okay, true confession. I'm going NUTSO because no dates for the Illuminations Sparkling Dessert Party have been released for June. I watched them do this back in April, where it was very nearly March 31 before they opened the dates. And they are doing it AGAIN. And throwing a crimp in my Friday planning, because I REALLY wanted to do this. And between this and the MagicBand Drama, I am not feeling particularly magical at this juncture. NOT angry, NOT fretting, NOT upset, but just a smidge unmagical...

So cute!! Where did you get them from?

Thank you!

I'm feeling just a smudge as well. No updates to hours (predicable but still). Ears and McQueen tank for YDS and Disney gift cards that were projected to arrive today, did not. Work is kicking my tushy.

I need Disney time to get here. ASAP!

I'll agree with that. My pin lanyard and leia/r2 magicband didn't arrive today . Plus I'm putting in some serious time at work getting stuff done before I leave for 2 work weeks. Ready for crunch time to be over and Disney and Universal time to be here!

We arrive June 2nd and it CAN'T get here fast enough!!! Don't know about anyone else, but the hardest part for me is the month before...ADR's way finalized, FP's finalized, plans kinda set in "stone" (on paper bc something always changes there lol ), pre-check in done. If your multiple trips in, park bag(s) might already be packed...Disney ears/clothing/etc that you'd want to take. Heck, I already have the mini deodorants, sunscreen etc I want to take ...

Sitting here while work stress makes me feel crazy, and like our trip is a million miles away...I go on MDE at night purposely trying to find something to change and research...but nope, we're a done deal

In my little free time, I think I've binging almost any Disney UTube/DIS/Blogger that I'm aware of the past 2wks (when normally it could be weeks or months before I do). And when on DIS, I've been digging way back lol.

Don't get me wrong, biggest blessing ever is knowing you're arriving soon But, kinda hard to pacify yourself with OCD planning when everything's already done (and real world stress is totally kicking your butt lol)...
So sorry... just needed to vent to the only people who'd understand lol Just kinda wish something new would pop up to occupy my Disney mind (hours for more planning etc..last minute anything ha). I even have our AK/Pandora plans set. Anyway...super grateful and excited underneath...but currently in the blues

Update to Mk hours! Some of the beginning of June dates have a close time of 11pm instead of 10pm

Really?? I've been checking all day and figured it was a done deal we were waiting til Monday. Going to look now!

Oh except I can't get the dang site to load. I decided to splurge on the HEA dessert party after watching it and now I can't book it bc the site won't load!

 

[ArielSRL]

Okay so Sunday 6/4 is still a 10pm close with HEA at 9. I booked the dessert party for this day. Tuesday 6/6 is 11pm and that works out nice bc I'm planning on staying in the park late as this will be our last nighttime in MK. We will be back on Friday but we will hop to AK that night. I might hit up MK solo on Saturday 6/10 after we get back to WL from seeing the 9pm Fantasmic at DHS and MK is open til 11pm that night.

I was kinda hoping they'd extend that night since it's our last on the disney side. I guess on Saturday we could always take the express bus over to MK from HS and spend some time there before going to bed if we want to

Shipping didn't update until today, but our MBs & luggage tags arrived!

Frequent checking and never giving up pays off again! Just scored Na'vi River Journey fast passes for 6/2!!!! I can't ride FoP bc I'm having cervical spine surgery next month, so this is about the best thing ever!!! Now we have Na'vi, sunset Safari FP, and ROL FP! Plus dinner at Yak & Yeti! Perfect AK day!

Yay for your perfect plans coming together!!!

I just booked the HEA dessert party for our last day at MK! Had to completely rearrange our ADR & FP+, but thankfully I was able to do so with no issues. 31 days can not go fast enough!

 

[Roxyfire]

Well I finally got the rate I was waiting for over at Universal, $249 a night at portofino! Obviously not as cheap as the weekday rate in october but still not a bad deal at all considering how beautiful that hotel is. Plus saving $40 a night feels good too!

I started an outfit list for the boys and myself. Getting the last few items in that I ordered (more ears, a couple tanks for Will). AJ said last night that he needed to start packing...lol. He's my 5 year old. LOL. I did agree with him that we could start organizing in the next few days. Also made the service appointment for my car for the Tuesday before the trip. Picked out the design I want for my mani/pedi. It is so very close.

And paperwork for the end of the school year is kicking my bottom right now, so that just makes the time go by that much fast.

6 more days with students then 2 post planning days. Done by 5/26....then a week to gather loose ends, pack, buy anything else that needs to be bought, etc, etc.

18 days to Disney!! YAY!!!!

I'm so jealous! I still have 12 days left with students, then I fly to Salt Lake City from 6/2-6/10 to grade AP Government exams and then fly back and have my last week to gather lose ends before we leave on 6/17 - one month from today!!!! It can't come fast enough!

you guys have me all panicked. I leave in 21 days and my magic bands shipped yesterday but havent been picked up by the carrier yet. I have no luggage tags or cruise documents. I think I need to take a deep breath and a break from this page lol

Do NOT panic. It's the same thing that happened with mine, and now I have two sets. I would call about the luggage tags, though.
