Your trip is so close!
I can't wait to read about Tim's surprise.

Thanks, I'll post all about the surprise. Our trip can't get here fast enough!

Very excited about you being only 37 days away from your vacation and for a fun surprise for Tim! So fun!

Can't wait!!!!

Wow your trip will be here before you know it. Sounds like you have the dining credit thing worked out. Can't wait to hear about Tim's surprise.

Just gotta get through 20 more days of school first, can't wait! You will love the F-day surprise!

Getting so close now

Date night sounds great

Can't wait to hear what you planned for Tim

Thanks, can't wait for date night. Surprise is a FUN one ; )

So excited for you guys!!! You are almost less than a month away!!

Thanks, I know, CAN'T WAIT!!! We leave a month from Wednesday!!!

What exactly do you mean when you say "pool dining credits?" This will be our first time on the DDP so want to be sure I'm understanding it right! Thanks a bunch!

The put them together like this:
on the BASIC plan if you were there for 1 night and there were 2 adults and 2 kids in your party when you checked in you would get a printout like this:
2 adult Table Service Credits
2 Child Table Service Credits
4 Counterservice Credits
4 Snacks.
Does this help?
I SURE hope they haven't changed this, if they have PLEASE someone let me know.
For Deluxe it would say:
12 Dining Credits (can be used for sit down or table service, pooled all together)
8 snack credits

I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS. SURE IT WILL
BE A BLAST AGAIN.....NOTHING LIKE MAKING MORE
WONDERFUL DISNEY MEMORIES!!!!

Thanks, CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

Yes, so sorry, update coming tonight

 

[timandlesley]

Hi everyone, sorry life has definitely gotten in the way. Between wrapping up the school year, Luke's baseball schedule, teaching classes online, girl scouts for Lauren, and just every day life things have been a little crazy BUT I do have some news and updates and the GREAT news is 23 days until we get in the car and head to Orlando!!!!!!!!!!!!

My packing list is DONE!!!! (if you want me to post it, let me know and I will). It is LENGTHY and I'm kind of freaking out because I have no idea how it is all going to fit into the car (we got rid of our mini van last year). WISH US LUCK!

The plan is still to get in the car on the 13th and stay in a hotel I booked in Valdosta Georgia. Then on the 14th we will arrive at the (shhhh it's a SECRET) Nick hotel, kids are going to go NUTS!!!! Then on the 15th (my 34th birthday) we are going to head to Buena Vista Suites (the hotel where Tim and I honey-mooned) The NEW addition that I am TOTALLY EXCITED ABOUT is that on my birthday night we just got tickets to see BLUE MAN GROUP!!!!! We are in the poncho section and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have any of you seen the show? If so, what did you think? I am so excited!
The other big news is I am on this weeks Disunplugged Podcast Email show, you have to listen. They play my voicemail, I reviewed my stay with Diane at the Wilderness Lodge concierge level. I am so excited they played it, I am HOPING I get to pick a number from the prize wheel since they say that if they play your review you get to pick a number, I'm waiting to be contacted.
So that's the update for now. Tim said this week "we have to make a countdown calendar this weekend" so hopefully we will get that done and I'll post a pic.
GETTING CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS for ending my meltdown!!!
Update enjoyed! Wow, you guys are almost
on your way to making more magic! it is so cool!!

 

[timandlesley]

So something happened since I typed this. I was sitting with Lauren tonight playing a board game and I asked her what her #1 thing she was looking forward to was and she said "eating lunch with the Princesses!!!" (insert eyes LIGHTING up here). I was devestated because we didn't have it planned and I thought for sure we wouldn't be able to do it. I called Disney Dining and STRUCK GOLD!!! Lauren and I are now eating lunch at Askerhus (SUPER expensive and I'll have to pay out of pocket, but she is only young once RIGHT!?!)

Trying to price a 4-5 day trip for nov, boy are the prices
outreageous!!! YIKES!!! We are going to somehow try to make it
doable!!

 

[Pryncesa]

Yay! Congrats on your review making the podcast. I'm listening to it right now, so you should be coming up any moment. I hope you have lots of fun at the show on your birthday! 23 more days!! woo hoo! I have to say that I'm getting really excited about our trip, too!!

How fantastic you were able to snag Akershus ressies! Lauren will be so happy and yes, she is only young once. I have two boys, so I won't be dining with the princesses anytime soon. Have fun!
