It's a lanyard with a thing that holds your tickets and fastpasses so that they're easy to get to while you're at the park.

Here's a link to one on e-bay.

How cute, do they sell them at the disney stores or online? When we were there last year it was a bother to dig out our room keys to get on rides.

I've searched the Disney online store and haven't been able to find them.

Thanks for looking, I found them online under Disney lanyards they have a few to choose from, I guess I will let my DGD decide.

I've taken a bit of a break from Disney planning lately so I haven't been updating anything here. I just want to say that I've got the first $1000 saved up for our trip. I'm so proud of myself! We should be able to pay off a few hospital bills later this month so saving should (God willing) get easier from here on out. I can't wait to actually book our vacation!

I don't think that it is bad to plan a trip that is over a year away, I am planning a trip with my DD in 2013 already. I problably will start a PTR for that trip when I am done with the trip I am taking with my DS's TR.

We went Sept.13, 2009 and had a wonderfull time. The crowds were small, and though it was hot (high 80's-low 90"s) we got through it with little problem. Are you planning to go to MNSSHP? It is seperate ticket price but you are able to show up at 4pm until midnight. They kick everyone else out at 7pm. Special shows, fireworks, and parade. Characters not normaly out are out (like princes and the 7 dwarves), and candy!!!!

Are you planning on seeing Festival of the Lion King, and Finding Nemo the Musical? Both are great shows and the first one at one point picks kids from the audience to parade around the show with musical insturment.

Can't wait to read more

Corrine is such a beautiful name! It's definitely on our short list if we ever have another little girl. We aren't planning to do MNSSHP. I think we'll just plan around the days it's happening or find something else to do that night. I definitely want to see FotLK, but Nemo will depend on how much time we have. It's not on our must do list for this trip.

Thanks, I'll tell my mom you like it. I personally like Ameliya, but that is because I chose that for my DD. Call her Mia.

Let's see if I can revive this PTR If I can come up with a PIN or free dining, we're going to join the ranks of the resort changers on this forum and swap to the Polynesian. We'll save Wilderness Lodge for when my parents go with us in a few more years. I'm going to request a room in the Rapa Nui, Tokelau, or Tahiti long houses (even though I know we may not get it). I'm also going to change our dates (for the last time) to Sept 16-21 2012. 453 days to go! We're going to stop in Tallahassee for the night on the way down and the way back home.
