Holly Hobbie, love it! It's almost here you guys...so excited. I know your going to have a great time. I second making Tim pack his own suitcase. John always trys to get me to pack his, I make him do it but then I go in behind him and make "changes"...lol.
 
You are making me realize that I need to pack! LOL! I took out the suitcase, its a start, but i have yet to do any real packing....I can't believe we leave in 11 days!!! woooo!!!!
 
WOW - only 13 days left. They will fly by and you will be writing your trip report before you know it.

How long are you going to be gone for this time?
Actually we are down to 10 now, I can't believe it!!!!! We will be gone from the 14-23rd so 9 nights/10 days, CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Lesley

I just looked at Accuweather. I can't believe that. It's not just the 14th it's all of the days. Hopefully it will change. I hope y'all have a great trip. I know you will. I'm glad that someone had a gameboy y'all could borrow. You'll find it after ya get back. :rotfl:
I know, isn't it halarious, I just couldn't believe it

Hey Darlene! I know, couldn't believe I found Holly Hobbie :goodvibes I told Tim last night that he needs to put a change of clothes and his swimsuit in the carryon. I did do all of his laundry for the trip so packing shouldn't be too hard. CAn't WAit!!!!!

I know, 10 days now for us:yay: :yay: :yay: Have fun packing!
Lesley
 
Forecast already changed on Accuweather, no more thunderstorms daily, now it has a sun or clouds each day, only 80's first two days too, I've never seen the 80's in June in Disney. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!:yay: We'll see how much it changes between now and then
10 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

You are doing great and should be very excited! Our trip is not until Oct. If you could give me any ideas about the plane trip. This will be the first time for our kids ages 4 and 7 flying and they are so excited. Last year we drove and it took us 12 hours!

I read on these boards that some people put bottled water in a suitcase and take on the plane. Any ideas on this? Have you tried this before?

Have a great trip and the world:goodvibes

Thanks,
Regina
 
I can't believe it is 10 days until you leave! How awesome!:cool1:
It sounds like you are going to get some nice weather!
I love the pics of the kids goodies!
 
Lesley, guess what, guess what?!?! No more car trip to NJ!!! We got the cruise! Now Tim will have to make up a new song for us, a cruisin' tropical kind of one. We had to switch the date till 6/14 but I'm so excited I could care less that we have to wait four more days than we thought. Now I guess we both will be starting our vacays on the same day. Wanna help me plan? *wink*

Hi Regina. For the plane a gameboy for your 7 year old or a portable DVD player would be great. For us it's the gameboy for our 6 year old and activity books for our 3 year old, she loves that stuff! I have put about 5-6 bottles of water in each suitcase, but this year I'm ordering Costco water (with free shipping) and having it shipped to the resort using the information here on the Dis to get it there, I'm excited to try it, I am going to ship 2 cases.

Lesley
 
I'll be back on the 17th. It's for 3 nights going to Nassau and Castaway Cay. 10 more days, after tonight only 9 more....yahoo. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep...lol. John is still up from working last night too excited to sleep as well. Do you guys get the same way? =o)

Now I've got to figure out what I need to buy, pack, etc. I'm having a laundry party at my mom's tonight to widdle down some of my mountain in the bedroom...lol. Now that I've got somewhere to go it doesn't seem like such a chore. =o)

I just found out too that a co-worker I've known for a long time now and who is a good friend is sailing with us too. Double the fun!
 
Hi Lesley!


I remember your 2006 trip report and liked it very much. Your family is adorable!

You don't have an advertising contract with TGM, do you? It would be very profitable, I think. :rotfl: So many converts on these sites, including me. I did my ADRs for my trip in October depending on his park advice.

I'm lurking on your thread for a while, but I didn't post cause I'm very busy in RL at the moment.

Just posting now to wish you and your family a wonderful trip!! I'm looking forward to the trip report!!!:thumbsup2

:) toony
 
Thanks Lesley for you help.

Did you just go to the cosco site to order the water? I will have to check on that idea because that sounds like a good idea.:thumbsup2

Have a great trip and most of all have fun.

Regina:)
 
Hey Lesley, You know your trip is just around the corner when you can check the extended forecast!:thumbsup2 Were dancing with you!:dance3: Matthew's last day of school is the same day you guys leave!:wizard:
 
I've been reading along w/your pre-trippie and LOVED your last TR. I'm getting excited for you! Thanks for sharing all of your great planning with your friends on the DIS.
:goodvibes
Enjoy every magical moment! We'll all be here waiting for your pic filled TR when you get back!

Lesley,

I don't want to miss the opportunity to wish you lots of pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: for a fabulous trip!!

It won't be long now.......

10 DAYS!!! and counting :banana: :banana: :banana: Single digits tomarrow ;)


I just found out too that a co-worker I've known for a long time now and who is a good friend is sailing with us too. Double the fun!

Was that a total suprise to find out they were on the same ship? How cool:thumbsup2



That water thing sound like a good idea....I too may have to look into that. We packed 'beverages' for my youngest DD (she requires a high cal drink a few times EACH day) last time we went to Orlando and just ended up packing a couple 6-packs in each suit case. I did make sure I put each pack in a zip lock...just in case. Which is something we'll have to do this time as well....which reminds me...I better start stocking up on my larger zip locks.;)
 
Lesley.....it's 12am so you know what that means?!?! :woohoo:

9 MORE DAYS!!!!!!

My "laundry party" is still ongoing, I still have 1 load left...lol. Everyone else has gone to bed. Oh well, I don't think I could sleep anyhow. :yay:

I am so excited for you Darlene! Would have been cool if we would have started our trip on the Wonder with you guys and then hit the World, oh well, someday! Hope yo ugot that laundry done! I understand, I've never been more motivated to do laundry in my life!

Yes, I am going to go on the site and order the water today actually, I'll let you guys know how it goes and how much it cost for the two packs to ship!
Lesley

9 days today - so nice to hit single digits!!!! I did that last year, actually this year I'm packing 2 cases of capri suns also for the kids, but I decided to ship the water, so stinkin' heavy!

Ordering water through Costco ROCKS!!!!:thumbsup2
I just completed my order. I am having 2 cases of Nestle bottled water shipped (24 per pack) and my total WITH shipping (drum roll please) . . .. . . . . . . . .only 15.54!!!!! They only charged me .70 for not being a Costco member. I used the address info here on the Dis under this thread:
http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=17858121&postcount=5
for any of you interested. YEAH!!!! We won't be wasting snack credits on water this year, that makes me happy (means more hot fudge brownie sundaes, popcorn, mickey bars, etc. etc. for us!!!!)
Well, gotta run and schedule mail interruption on USPS.com next. See ya later! 9 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:woohoo:
Lesley
 
I can't believe its only 9 days!!! I remember when we were counting down from 80! I Hope my September trip gets here as fast as this did!! I may be going to one of the parks this friday with a disney-crazed friend of mine, he hasn't been to disney since he moved here from jersey, so we may drive the 3 hours on friday for the day! Nothing compared to my "real" september trip, but hey, its disney!!!
