We Had Two Magical Moments!!! Trip Report Coming Soon!!!!

[NYPDwife]

Hey everyone!!!

Sorry I haven't been on. Things have gotten hectic with soccer, CCD, work, etc. that I haven't been on too much!

I do have a question. Once you pay everything off, when do you get everything in the mail? Ever since we made our final payment, I've been looking but nothing in the mailbox.... Anyone know when we'll get our luggage tags, etc?

You should get it any day.. We go on the 6th of Dec and we got ours in last week, and one of the other PTR I am following, they are going on the 15th and got them in today. So this may be your week!!

We're going on Dec 6 , too - and I got "The Call" from AAA last Monday ... so figure about a month out from your arrival date ...

And - when the package does arrive - don't get tooo excited and start screaming, jumping up and down, kissing the mailman, doing the happy feet dance ... you might embarass yourself (take this from someone who knows ... )

You kissed the mailman???

LOL!

I called DR to double-check and they said they mail them out at 40 days. They should be mailing ours pretty soon. I also might order some new customized maps b/c I don't know where my others went.

 

[joelp]

Well ... ya know ... I was a little excited ...

Don't worry about being too busy to come to the boards. The busier you are now, the quicker the time will go till WDW!!!

Let us know when you get the luggage tags. I can't wait till we get ours, too.

 

[NYPDwife]

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I'm TRYING to get DH to wear matching fleece pullovers with monogramming from the Disney Store for Christmas Day. I think we'd look so cute with our red, matching Mommy & Daddy pullovers!!!

Cross your fingers and hope he goes for it, because we'd have to order them ASAP!!! For both, with the monogramming, it would come out to $50.00.

I don't think that's TOO bad, do youj?

 

[NYPDwife]

16 DAYS UNTIL WE START DRIVING!!!!

 

[NYPDwife]

Um, when do you think I should start packing?

How was it!!!!!

We had a very nice time - AKL is amazing!!

Crowds were heavy at MK - make sure you get there early ... and plan around using Fastpass at your priority attractions/rides ...

Make sure to check out the Holidays Around the World storytellers at Epcot - each "story" takes about 5 minutes, and then there's time for pictures ...

Spent two full days at Epcot, 3 partial days at MK (including MVMCP), and one day each at AK and DHS (arrived late) ... could have used one more day in each park to see everything we wanted ...

Sooo - I guess we'll just have to go back!!

I'll put a "summary TR" together soon ... we have almost 800 pictures to go through before I can do the BIG TR ...

Awesome!!

DH is already saying he wants this to be a relaxing vacation (I don't know where he got the idea that Disney's relaxing), but I'll try not to run from here to there and we'll just STROLL!!

 

[NYPDwife]

Ok, so far I have DD semi-packed. She was easy b/c she needed some new l/s tees and new pants so I just shoved everything I bought at Walmart into her suitcase. She just needs her underthings, socks and shoes. Can't forget her hairgel, hair shine, elastics for ponytails, bobbi pins, etc., and then she'll be done!!!!

I'm headed there. I have tons of laundry to do and a house to clean for the housesitter and we'll be good!!!!

I'm exhausted but I'm off to get ready for work!!!

I instantly relaxed when I stepped into the MK ...

... but I wouldn't call the trip "relaxing" ...

You need to make a conscious effort to relax and let the magic happen ...

OK, time to put the DD to bed ...

As I type this, we are driving down to Disney! I'm so excited I want to cry! Thef roads are slick so we'r going slow, but we should make good time. I think we might drop in on our friend in SC, just to freshen up and nap a bit and then take the rest of the rise from there. Stay tuned...I'll keep everyone updated from my blackberry. Hubby did but mr a laptop for Christmas, but I left it home (no place to keep it he said) so I have to type on my pearl. I also forgot my Disney guide books! I'm so mad about that! Ok, I'm getting carsick, I'l write again later on today!

 

[NYPDwife]

Yawn....fell asleep for a bit. About to cross the Delaware bridge. Hubby won't let me drive yet....sooo sleepy, that might be why, lol.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Did the postcards arrive??!!

 

[joelp]

We woke up to a dusting of snow here in NJ - a little "pixie dust" for your journey??

Have a great trip!!

And you won't miss the guidebooks - I didn't even open the one I brought with me the whole trip ...

... and say hello to "the crowd" ... you'll know him/her when you see it ...
