the Yanks and Rebels invade Disney

I think that is where a lot of our excitement is coming from is...I know I am a big kid and so is the rest of my family and we are going to have a blast..But to see the magic of Disney through him is going to be unforgettable!! He will be coming a day after me so I get a day to be a big kid before he gets there and him want everyone to do stuff with him!! Which I won't mind at all!!
 
All paid(tickets and villa)and at 75 days to go. I got my tickets from UCT today!!! I am so excited. I made a disney box for all the goodies I am picking up for the kiddos.
 

Been a bit since I updated so he goes..

I ordered and recieved my Tickets from UCT and they were really fast getting them to me. I love the pics on the tickets but wish my daughter could hve gotten the cinderella one but there was only one of them and it was an adult ticket so I snatched it up. We got 3 mickeys(2 differ. styles) 3 of the seven dwarfs(well 4 of them with grumpy in front) it says "where your name is always Happy" and the one with Cinderella and Prince.

I wonder can you write your names on the tickets so you know whos tickets they are?? Also Make a copy of your tickets when you get them. I made 2 copies plus they are in my computer too,better safe then sorry.

I still need to do a bunch of shopping for the trip, not a whole lot for me but the kids need new "crocs", my 17 yr old needs some new stuff but he refuses to wear crocs and like to wear his boots all the time .. I dont see how that is gonna fly in 90 degree temps, he will suffer with his new sneaks i bought him months ago but he hasn't worn but 1 time to church(feel my frustration..lol)

I still dont have a backpack to bring, still wondering if a diaperbag/messenger style would work since i am bringing a umbrella stroller for my 4 yr old..it has a basket in the bottom for storage too. I keep looking for something that will so over the chest at walmart,kmart or target but nothing so far. I guess I need to start going to the dreaded mall to look. Things are just vtoo expensive sometimes at the mall but Sears has girls bathing suits on sale this week and i got a coupon book in the mail so it gives me a reason to drive the 20 minutes to the mall and check things out.. any ideas on where to look?

Also looking for a good one night stay around WDW, we are gonna head down from TN on friday morning and check in at the villa is 4 so we need someplace to stay 2 rooms i guess, we will have 7 people in the van. I dont want to spend anymore than 80 a night total.

Good news also that our Tax rebate check is coming the first weekend of May so it gives me a buffer to be able to have more fun but i dont want to go too crazy. I am a very frugal person, i like to do things the cheaper way and save money where i can. I drive my hubby crazy with it I know but I dont see wasting money on stupid stuff he wants then saving for things we need or Christmas for this yr..

See last yr I wasn't sure we were gonna have a nice Christmas for the kids since I wasnt full at my daycare and losing out on over 500 a month in spots open. After Bills, food and gas we were left with like 40 bucks a week but Praying to god works and I filled up right before Christmas and was able to spend about 200 on each of my 3 kids and along with the Ruitan and family they had plenty. They knew before that since we were going on this trip this yr that they weren't getting anything big like wii's or game consoles, computers ect.. so thank god i have good kids who dont care about that stuff and were understanding. I want to get a Wii for the whole family this yr as a big gift we can share plus this will be the last Christmas with my son living here, He graduates next yr and will be moving to NY with my parents to help my dad run the landscaping business.

WOW this is turning into a book so I will close for today. Please Pimp this thread out for me.. I need more readers..lol

Definitely - each ticket will be biometrically "coded" to a particular person after you first use them, so you need to keep track of which ticket belongs to each person ... :wizard:

I dont see how that is gonna fly in 90 degree temps, he will suffer with his new sneaks i bought him months ago but he hasn't worn but 1 time to church(feel my frustration..lol)

Don't forget the band-aids for the blisters he is sure to get ... (or not - teach him a lesson ... :goodvibes )

I still dont have a backpack to bring ... any ideas on where to look?

I saw something in the L.L. Bean catalog a few months back that I want to check out again - kinda like a diaper bag and hopefully big enough to hold the videocamera, extra clothes, etc. ...

Good news also that our Tax rebate check is coming the first weekend of May.

I'm using part of ours to upgrade our AKL room to a Pool View (Savannah View still to pricey...) :simba:



I need more readers..lol


Don't we all!?! :rotfl:

DD is home sick with a cold today so I have some time on the computer while she watches Playhouse Disney ... :tigger: maybe I'll update my PTR later ... :crazy:
 
Hmmm - I thought I had sent you this link the other day :confused: ... but maybe while I was doing it a certain DD-4.5 decided to jump on her Daddy's lap - :jumping3:which makes it impossible to type out a coherent sentence ...


My PTR: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1689094


... and I just realized I'm almost "done" with planning Day 4 ... and there's only a total of 8 days in the trip ... :sad2: (what will I do with myself after that??) ...

Oh Yeah!! - there's all those "Imagineering" books to read ...

And the planning "really" isn't done (even for Days 1-4) ... :rolleyes1

For example, I still have to book the flights - which I can't due until June when the airlines post them ...

And the WDW park hours won't be posted for December until June, too - so I may have to "massage" the intinerary ...

Whew - I was worried there for a second ... :rolleyes:

A penny saved is a penny for Disney!
 
well we found a hotel for the one nights stay when we get to Orlando. since there will be 7 of us at check in we found the Seralago hotel. We got the 2 room suite for just over 100 for the night.. still cheaper then 2 rooms. It has a beds in the bedroom and a murphy bed and sofa bed in the living room. It would be a nice room for someone staying all week cause it has a kitchen too but we just need it the night before check in at the villa.
We had tax free weekend here in Tennessee so I had everyone make a list of things they needed for the trip and off we went for a few hrs during our state park camping trip to go shopping. We hit Walmart,Kmart and Target so now we are all set with clothing and such. I found a cute knock off kids sketcher type.. i call it a cross the foot wrap croc if you know what i mean in pink for my DD she loves them, she is wearing them to school to help break them in this week.My oldest and I went alone back to the store and I love shopping for him, he run and just throws what he needs in the buggy and we are out of there in 5 minutes.. gotta love a boy who hates to shop..lol Oh by the way he turned 18.. yes I said 18 this past Friday the 25th.. My son is now a man I am so sad.
I also bought canvas bags and need to get one of the lovely ladies to make the kids names so I can put them on their bags. Which design do you ladies and guys like for the bags?? this style http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=23312336&postcount=653
or these styles

girls would do either HMS or HM or princess and the boys Cars and Mickey mouse

I am torn on what would look the best. The ears would take up more room and stand out more but the names they could use with their characters.

I will take pics when I am done and with what I am gonna put into them to give the kids there. I know my kids and my niece and nephew will love them anyway i do them.
32 days left for me!!!!
 
29 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got my shoes(airwalk sandles), kids and hubby are bought for so I am so ready for this trip. My sons friend had to drop out cause he lost his job so now we are down to 11 people.. oh well at least I am still going!!
 
:woohoo:

Well - I'm going to beat you to FLA ! ... we'll be in Tampa in a week visiting my brother ... :lmao:

No WDW this trip - but Busch Gardens is on the itinerary ... (never been there ...)

I can't wait until we're at the 29 day (and fewer!!) mark!! Seven months and change to go!! :upsidedow

Let us know if if you need any "last days" advice ...
 
Last night we went to see High School Musical Ice Tour. It was a nice way to get excited about going to Disney in 21 days!!!

I posted a link to pictures in this thread, check them out

We took the DD to Finding Nemo on Ice a few months back - and it was GREAT!!

So I heartily recommend checking it out if it's in your area ... and get seats on the "goal" end of the ice (as opposed to along the sides ..) See - there's this REALLY BIG video screen they use ...:thumbsup2

Now - if I can find the pictures we took ... :idea:
 
9 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

Ok now I am down to single digits and next week I will get things packed and ready.. I can't wait.

We are now having problem with my sister who isn;t going. She now decided that she wasn't gonna watch my mom s dog and stay at my moms house cause she can't leave the baby alone in the house to take the dog outside the door to go to the bathroom. Guys he is not even 2 months old.. where is he gonna go? You put him in a seat or swing and he will be there when you get back. Am I a bad mom to leave my kids in the house while i get the mail or take the dog out? Lordy.

Also my dad needs to be at the airport at 6am for his 7:15 flight, she wont take him either.. doesn;t want to get her kids up.. Hello we have teenage family members who would stay overnight so she could run him there and she could easily take the baby as you know how newborns sleep. She is just being really selfish right now.

My sister Karen is either gonna pay for a cab to bring him to the airport(23.00) or pay for dads truck to stay there the week(32.00) My dads b-day was yesterday and he got really disappointed as we found this out yesterday also. One plus is me and Karen got my dad a MP3 player for his b-day. He does landscaping and found him one with a armband, fm radio,pedometer and stopwatch.. looks like we are the good daughters now..lol

I finished the bags i made for each of the kids I will post a picture of them later today
