The Tucker Twins pre trip report....updated with pics and more excitement 23/4!!

Nope Simone! You are waaayyy off track!!! Your other guess of the illuminations cruise is also wrong hehheheehe:lmao: You will have to wait until the easter bunny visits to find out!!! (Or just before, as I have agreed to tell you on Good Friday.....which will be renamed pixie dust friday this year:wizard: ). Anyway, I am also trying to decide if on this trip I will be brave enough to do space mountain, splash mountain and the tower of terror......what does everyone think ?(I'm a bit of a chicken...hence I didn't do these rides in 2005 when we came). I'm starting to stress a bit too, as we really have to get shopping and get all the stuf we need E.G. we have to change aussie $ into US $, get all our meds written up from the Dr and buy more (I.e. asthma meds, allergy meds, anti nausea stuff ect)....My whole bag will be rattling!!! We also need to get little things (but important things) like anti bacterial hand wipes, power adaptor, another camera memory stick, sunblock etc. Heaps to do!! I think I will get my suitcase out just after easter and start packing (it will be four weeks early....but I like to feel organised and not stressed). We also need to check in with the travel agent too, to check if any flight times have change. We are looking forward to flying in premium economy this time (with air new zealand), as 14 hrs to San Fran is a long time!! We then will have another 6 hrs to get to WDW:eek: Anyway, its only about 8 weeks now!!! How exciting!! We are also looking at maybe coming over when we have annual leave in December (start of Dec) for 10 days. Hopefully if we book in June we will still be able to get a hotel???? Anyone know? See you soon for another trippie update.
 
Hi there, it's been a while since our last pre trippy update!! Things have just been soooo busy. We bought a house in the last 2 weeks (now a place of our own to decorate disney style!) and works been MAD! Anyway, if you have been reading this pre trip report, you will know Rach had organised a surprise for me which she was going to tell me about at Easter. So, I am going on a wishes cruise YAY:cool1: She has organised the bigger cruiser which has piped in music for the fireworks. So we hop on at the Contemporary marina and go for a cruise around for a bit before Wishes begins apparently. Can't wait. We will also be joined by our friends Sue and Jane on the cruise so it should be a fun evening. Well, in other news, Rach and I are avid listeners to the Dis Unplugged podcast and I emailed them a while back to say how much I love the podcast......guess what....I get home from work last night and there is a huge package waiting for me from the Dis Unplugged team!!! I was shocked as in it was 2 YOMD flashing WDW photo albums, 2 YOMD flashing mickey ears, 2 epcot DVDS, a WDW cd, brochures and maps of all of the theme and water parks and DTD and you'll never guess what else..... A PAL MICKEY:banana: We couldn't believe it!! They just don't know how wonderful we thought this was! We were going to buy a Pal Mickey when we arrived but what with buying the house and Rach's dog Holly having to have $2000 worth of major surgery we were going to forgo buying one, so we are totally THRILLED, can't wipe the smiles off our dials:)

So, 25 more days to go!!! We are having a few set backs with our flights at the moment which is really irritating me grrrrrrr. But anyway, we soooo can't wait to get there. It will indeed be the 'last hurrah' now we have a mortgage and we're going to make it a good one!! We have all of our stuff ready to go, just a few extras we need to buy and that's it! Anyway, to cap off this post here is a pic of our wonderful gift from the Dis Unplugged team.

Well, not long to go now!! We have been getting the last minute things organised as you do. Went to check on the flights and lo and behold there have been time changes to the connecting flight from San Fran to Vegas.....we had an 8hr wait in San Fran and then just 30 mins to connect in vegas to Orlando:confused3 Now that worried us just a tad!!! So, we ended up having to PAY $208 to change the connecting flight so that we had more time!! ARRRGGGHHHH...not too happy about that but hey, it's better than missing the flight and not being able to get another one for a WHOLE 24hrs and miss out on all of our plans and not be STRESSED. So, today we walked into the village (where the travel agent is) for our exercise and to withdraw the money to pay for these tickets at the ATM. So, we get to the ATM and Rach puts in her card and it gets sucked up:mad: So, we go into the bank only for them to say they forgot to send her a new card and her old one is expired GRRRRR not happy!!! So, we had to walk all the way home again so Rach could grab her other card.....drove back down to the travel agent...guess what...the travel agency shop is mass flooded from the heavy rain the other night, all of the computers are wrecked, everything a MESS. We have to pay today to ensure the new tickets are reserved and they told us we couldn't!!!.......sooooo after a big discussion with the travel agent they agreed to take the cash so that we could indeed reserve these tickets.....ARRRGGHHHHHH. It was truly like a comedy, we just had to laugh! All of these obstacles, hopefully it's not an indication of things to come!!!! Anyway, at least we wont have to stress about missing flights and can just relax! We are both really eager to get to WDW and have a good break from work and the madness that surrounds trying to sell a house and organise a move!!
 
Just bumping this up, because I'm pretty sure the girls will be back by now.

How was it?!?!?!?!?!?!
