The Unofficial Guide to MRYPPNS' WDW Vacation: TR link is up!

[Charleston Princess]

According to your schedule, you are going to have all kinds of fun, Heidi!

 

[eandesmom]

It looks like you have lots of flexibility in there. It looks great!!!

 

[MRYPPNS]

Plans sound good! Wish I was going, too!!! Oh well -- only 36 weeks until our trip.

36 weeks will fly by!

Looks like we might cross paths on Friday morning or Saturday... or at the resort of course.

And who knows... maybe we'll end up at TL if the weather is warm enough for us.

I think we'll do TL just as long as it's at least 70 degrees and SUNNY....having the sun out makes a world of difference

Great Plans and I expect changes , it's what we Dissers do best!!

I think the dining has that most chance of change.

looks really nice Heidi and i truly hope that reb marker never comes out

I hopeful that I won't be slashing any park time...there isn't much there to begin with.

Thanks Jackie

It looks like you have lots of flexibility in there. It looks great!!!

I'm going with the less is more game plan!

Not much to report but we'll getting closer to vacation and I'm so excited!!! In a strange way I'm even excited about the 21 to 27 hour (depending on breaks) drive down to Orlando. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I downloaded Season 4 of Big Love to my iPod last night! I am looking forward to the adventure of the drive down the country....should be interesting if nothing else!

I made another trip to Wal-mart yesterday. I'm really starting to hate giving them so much of my money. I did however get a deal on a pair of shorts for Danica. After going thru all of her new clothes I realized that I didn't have a pair of shorts that went with her Mickey Mouse t-shirt and the only thing I could pair her Snow White shirt with is the big yellow fluffy skirt. I figured a pair of red shorts would match both (even denim would do). After 3 trips to Children's stores with no luck at all for red shorts or denim shorts that weren't 20 bucks I found some at wal-mart....on the clearance rack.....for a dollar. Sweet.

A round of colds is going around my house. Better now than in 2 weeks I guess. Oh and Danica is getting a set of morals in

Oh and for Kat: My stroller is a Chicco, model is Trevi Twin.

And aren't you leaving like a week BEFORE us????

No, we leave on the 26th as well....but that doesn't help any, because I still have a bazillion things to do!

Your plans are looking great! Most of our park plans are completely up in the air/whatever we feel like doing, but what we do have our paths won't cross...I copied your agenda into my iPod just in case we do end up in the same park, I'll keep an eye out for you guys!

Score on the $1 shorts! I hope those colds run their course and are done quickly!!

I would think that we as often as you have been able to go AND with a 2 week vacation this time that you wouldn't need to do too much pre-planning other then ADRs.

I'll give you my cel phone # on FB. Maybe we can meet up one night that I don't have much planned. Plus we'll be in the Boardwalk area a couple times for meals.

Has anyone ordered a special occasion cake from Disney before????? I think I want one for my birthday.

 

[Native NYer]

You are so organized, Heidi!

I've ordered a Mickey head cake at the Poly. It was good.
We also ordered the slipper dessert and a mini castle cake. They were great, too.

Love the WalMart Clearance Rack !!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Walmart gets entirely too much of our money so I feel your pain. Woo hoo on finding the shorts for a dollar though!

Like you said, better the colds go through now! You wouldn't want everyone sniffling all the way down to Florida.

 

[mousescrapper]

Your Walmart spending sounds like my Target spending

hope Danica isn't too much a fus w/ the new molars coming in...

I forgot to say something when you mentioned your birthday in the master schedule and how did I miss that...re I didn't know you were going to be there on your birthday. WHAT FUN!

I really looked into the special ocassion cakes for the little girls (remember?) and decidied agaisnt for cost and food issues. But I know I want to order one of those mini wedding cakes for Matt and I.

my reading has led me to believe most people have good luck but it can be hit and miss depending on who bakes it and decorates it. good luck!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Your shopping sounds like mine... but I've done way too much of it!! I bought several things at various stores yesterday but made the mistake of going to Walmart for "a couple things" today! I got the boys some cute Star Wars shirts for our DHS/Jedi Training day, a new hat for Alex, a birthday present for DMIL, a new DS game for each of the boys, some Valentine's for all of my Valentines & a bunch of other stuff I probably didn't need!

I meant to comment on your birthday too... I put it on my spreadsheet though. I hope we get to run into you on the 1st. I couldn't think of a better way to spend your birthday.

 

[TarzansKat]

You have to love it when you find those clearance items at Walmart!

Thanks for listing the stroller brand.

 

[jenjolt]

Your trip is getting closer and closer!!

I love finding a good deal, so SCORE on those shorts!! YAY!!!

That was kinda our thoughts too - we'll just roll with it, we know what we like and what we want to do, so it's good.

Sounds great about meeting up! I'll FB you back with my number too and we can keep in touch through the trip.

Hey heidi,

Tim (That's nice) has. You might want to check with him on his experience with special order cakes.

 

[MRYPPNS]

Hi Everyone! Just a quick pop in to say that I've been busy getting ready for the trip yesterday (today we have a birthday party to go to after lunch but I hope to get more stuff done when we get back).

I've cleaned out the car and figured out where everything will go so I can reach what I need while we are driving. Plus DH and I made sure that all the luggage I think I'll need will fit plus the double stroller. Good to go and we can even see out the back windshield.

I got our old camera ready to take with us too....gonna use it for the water parks...not that it's water proof but we don't really care if it was to get stolen.

I wrote up a list of stuff for my parents who will be watching our dog and cat (thanks Amy for that one....read it on your list)

And I organized all my packing piles. I'm going to pack according to my break downs on my packing list that way it's already organized for the resort.

Gotta go.....Danica is crying ......

 

[englishrose47]

I will start packing for August in June !!!The rest of them will pack the night before and then expect me to find the stuff they can't
