Well, I emailed my AAA TA today and she said I had given her flight info and she was just waiting for my documents to come in, I asked her when they typically arrived and she said usually 2 weeks before you leave, BUMMER! Oh well, I'll be here not so patiently waiting

So .. . .I called Tim today during lunch (which is right now) and he said the mail came and that 30 Disney dollars arrived. They have Cinderella on them (I'll take a pic and post later). Now I am worried though, about 2 weeks ago I cashed out for 20 dollars and then just last week cashed out for 30, but now that the 30 is here I am worried about the 20 (did that make ANY sense). Keep your fingers crossed for me. Well at least the 30 arrived, YAHOO!!! Tim said Lauren was thrilled that they had Cinderella on them., guess that just turned into her spending money

Yay! I love me some SR Disney money! The ones we got have Stitch and the other ones have Aurora. They are cute. DD is still too little to appreciate them. So, I like getting the Disney Gift Cards.
Hmmm....that is odd that you never received your $20 Disney Dollars. I would send an email over to see. Hopefully, you will get them before your trip.

 

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

It was, thanks. Yours will be here before you know it, I'll check yours out soon.
Lesley


So glad you enjoy the TR's, that is what keeps me going, it's so fun! I can't wait to experience POFQ for the first time and report about it when we return. YES, BUY THE CROCS!!! I convinced my mom this week and she loves her pair too. I decided to buy a pair like Tim's for my dad for Father's day. They do match any outfit with black in it, I want the tan ones to go with khaki's more, I wear them to work, THEY ARE GREAT!!! Man, I should be in a commercial for them, sorry didn't mean to sell them too hard
Lesley


OH THANKS FOR YOUR POST!!! I love to hear positive experiences about POFQ, as you can tell by my Pre TR I was VERY upset when we changed from July to June and had to downgrade from our "home" Wilderness Lodge" but now I am just so focused on NINE NIGHTS IN DISNEY!!!! That POFQ sounds outstanding, and the more positive things I read about it the better. I think I'll have to grab a beignet when we arrive before we hit the parks
Lesley

Oh, I'm happy to help. I always liked hearing the good stuff too. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing at Disney that I could complain about. From the resort to the parks to the transportation everything is run meticulously. I am so jealous that you're spending NINE nights there. My husband was so mad at me when we had to leave...this coming from a man who's never been further than the Jersey shore. Now all he talks about is going back to Disney. Feel free to PM me with any questions about the resort. Have fun!!

Lesley, I am so excited for you and your family on your upcoming trip. I can't wait to hear all about it. When I came across this preTr I knew I had to read your last tr. Your family is adorable.

A few days ago you mentioned that you bought a rainjacket for yourself from the disney store. does it have a hood? I bought the black and white one from Disneyshopping.com I love it but it doesn't have a hood to keep your head dry. I thought that was kinda strange. i also bought my son the little einsteins rain jacket. It is so cute.

I would also like to know how you earn the disney money from Sunshine Rewards. I know you are busy but if you have a few spare minutes could you pm details. I registered at the sr website. I was wondering how you earn your rewards .. surveys.. online shopping, etc.

Anyway, I am enjoying all of your updates and preparations for your upcoming trip. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for posting, so glad you enjoy the reports. I am so glad I didn't buy that cute Mickey raincoat you are talking about on Disney shopping, I would just assume it had a hood, what is the point without one?? I will post a photo of my great one here in a minute, guess I lucked out. I love it because it not only has a hood, but a drawstring one, it is GREAT for keeping rain out, also SUPER leightweight material with tons of airholes in armpit types of places that wouldn't seep rain in, this coat ROCKS!
I will PM you SR info!
Lesley

 

[timandlesley]

So. . .I came home to this lovely sight:

YEAH!!! I just LOVE sunshine rewards. How cool!!! I did email them by the way and my order got lost or something, but they found it right away and are mailing me the 20 dollars, can't wait to see what design these have.

Someone asked about my Mickey Raincoat, I just LOVE this coat, it is AWESOME. I bought it on Disneyshopping 2 years ago for a trip, every year as everyone is sweating in those miserable (sorry I hate them) poncho's in the June heat they ask me where I bought this coat. It is SUPER light weight, comes with a great pocket to keep things dry, and a drawstring hood to keep that rain out, LOVE THAT JACKET! :

I took a pic of all of our raincoats together for you (minus Tim's of course, still on the hunt ) Of course Lauren got excited mommy was taking pictures so she had to sneak in

well, gotta run, a T-ball game to get ready for, it's hot here today 86 and sunny, it's gonna be a HOT t-ball game, but heck that's nothing compared to Disney in June.
Til' later.

Yea for the disney money !!

Thanks for posting the pics for your rain jackets. I wish they still had the one that you have.. I just don't know what I'm going to do with a rain jacket with no hood. I bought it for our Sept trip so an umbrella is out. i guess I'm still on the hunt for a rain jacket for me and DS7. disneyshopping didnt have one in his size.

Have fun at tball.

 

[daisy_77]

Lesley---I like the Cinderella design on the Disney Dollars! I always look forward to having enough credits to cash out...it feels like Christmas when the mail comes with Disney money!
I am glad that they figured out what happened with that $20.

Cute raincoat! I really like that one with the princesses on it. I need to put raincoats on my list.

I hope Luke has fun at his T-ball game!

 

[Lesprivate]

Lesley Those rain coats are cute, we bought our raincoats at old navy, not disney but they fold up into a little pouch. I also would like to know how you can earn with sr, I joined about 2 weeks ago and so have only earned about 6 dollars, please pm me. thank you from another Leslie (The ie kind).

 

[jenr812]

The Disney money is adorable, of course, and so is Lauren Those raincoats look great - so lightweight! I hate the ponchos, too but we deal with them. Hope you had some shade at the Tball game!

I know, I am always so excited when that money arrives, and the Cinderella design is too cute. Can you return the rain coat? I can't believe they would sell one without a hood, how strange. Keep checking for the rain jacket for your DS, I'm sure they will get one in.

I am glad they figured out the 20 bucks too and that I realized it in time for them to get it to me before the trip. Luke did great at his t-ball game, he has so much fun - 4 runs tonight YIPEE!

Folding up into a pouch would be nice, ours do get pretty darn bulky, especially since I also carry around a double stroller rain cover, it is so nice in June when you leave for a ride or show to put on the stroller and come back to a dry one when you see others dumping water out of theirs or having to have kids walk because their stroller got soaked, best investment I ever made.
As for Sunshine, I set up an email account I didn't mind getting spam to, I sign up for all the trial offers they have and cancel within the 30 day window and get the larger credits, I also do all my shopping through that site and all the emails they send with the hot offers usually averaging 1.00 each for easy stuff I do as well. It has taken me about 6 months to get the 70 dollar mark but I don't do it every day, more like once a week is all.

The raincoats are nice, VERY lightweight (mine more so than the kids). T ball was fun as always

How cute the Raincoats!!! Thanks for sharing!

Love, love, love the ponchos!

DS' Disney Crocs arrived yesterday. They are too cute. He wants to wear them now so I had to hide them in the Disney box. Good thing he doesn't know what else is in there

Betsy, Welcome aboard!!! I am glad you are enjoying yourself so far. Enjoy last years TR, I just put a suggestion to the moderators, I hate that they don't allow others to post responses to TR's that are completed anymore, I have people PM me about my old report because they can't post, I love to hear what people think of it, but that option isn't available anymore. Hopefully that will change soon. Anyway, welcome, we're getting CLOSER (36 days but who's counting )
Lesley

We just got our crocs yesterday but only my dd's mary janes and my dh offroad crocs, the disney ones i ordered are out of stock. Today we finally hit double digits 99 days until we head back to the world. When I read your pre trip report it makes me want to start packing but my dh thinks I am disney nuts already. He enjoys Disney World but not with the obsession I have.
