Although I wasn't able to get the packing list typed up, I did finish the rest of the touring cards. Take a look:

Getting caught up...

You are getting so close!! All of your plans look great. I'm jealous of your Mickey luggage tags. We don't have a package booked so we just got our ME tags... no new luggage tags.

 

[Nermel9]

Shut up! Now you make me look like a slacker!!! I need to book the early bird check-in. I'm going to do it tonight. I'll be getting a new hipster next Sunday hopefully, so that takes care of two things. We're not renting a car but if we had an AP and could park for free, I might actually consider it. Well, maybe not, I loooooove starting our trip on the Magical Express! I feel surrounded in the Disney bubble from start to finish

Haha, well, it was reading your PTR that motivated me to do all of that! I had to buy my hipster by the end of September, because I had the $20 off birthday coupon they send you, and it was only good through September. I actually got it in the mail today, I LOVE it! It's probably my favorite Vera pattern yet!

You can park for free as long as you're staying at any Disney resort, not just when you have an AP! They give you a parking pass that you put in the front window of your car, and when you got through the gates when you enter the parks, they just wave you through, it's great!

Yay for your Mickey Mail! I should be getting mine in a week or so! I can't wait!!! It seems like this trip is getting so close, but I still have 5 weeks or something left!

You're A LOT closer than me! I follow a lot of Disney World related accounts on Twitter and everyone is posting stuff about Food & Wine Fest and I can't wait!!!

I know what's at the outlet that I go to this weekend will be the older stuff but I don't care. If it saves me $$$, I'll find something to like.

That's really neat! I didn't know that. Hmmm...I wonder if I could give up ME, though.

I look forward to the food so much when going to Disney. Seriously, the first thing I think of is just the feeling on being in Disney World in general and the second is the food. That being said, there are a lot of things that I have yet to try that really appeal to me. You can find these below:

(NOTE: I didn't take any of these photos. I found them all thanks to Google images.)

o White Chocolate Elephant Cupcake: Kusafiri Bakery: AK

o Magic Cookie Bar: Roaring Forks: Wilderness Lodge

o Beignets: Sassagoula: POFQ

o Kaki Gori: Japan Cart: World Showcase

o Fresh Potato Chips: Friars Nook: MK

o Cheesecake Brownie: Boardwalk Bakery

o Zebra Domes: Mara: AKL

o Ice Cream Float: Auntie Gravitys: MK

o School Bread: Kringla Bakery: World Showcase

o Smores Cupcake: Roaring Fork: Wilderness Lodge

What are some of your favorite snacks that you can only enjoy in Disney?

 

[DisMomAmy]

Mmmmm... You're making me hungry!

My favorite treats... Sweets from Karamell Kuche, chocolate mousse from France, a cupcake from just about anywhere, Disney popcorn, Dole Whips, Kaki Gori is great on a hot day (which is looks like we will see in just a few days)... and I can't wait to have some filet from the Canada F&W booth!

 

[smile4stamps]

All of your items look so yummy!

Items I am wanting to try include that Cheesecake Brownie!! I also want a waffle sandwich from sleepy hollow, anything from Karamel Kuche, the Carrot Cake cookie from DHS, Peanut Butter Cupcake from Contempo!!

Nermel9, I'm going to be in Disney with my boyfriend from nov 10-16! Where are you guys staying?

 

[rachel09985]

Oh my gosh! I love your daily cards!!! Did you make that in Excel?

We will be there about the same time (Nov 1st-6th) but none of our days overlap!

I just used Microsoft Word, actually.

Our days will most likely not stay like that. We'll see. I'm all about changing our plans to do what we feel like when we're there.

Where are you staying?

I really want to try that brownie!!! I'm thinking we'll stop there after brunch with DH's family on that Sunday.

We had the Nutella and berry waffle sandwich from Sleepy Hollow and it was amazing!

We also had the carrot cake cookie and it was pretty good but I like the carrot cake whoopie pies from Trader Joes better.

We had a caramel cupcake from Contempo and it was amazing!

My mouth is watering! Love the caramel shop, DH loves the mousse, dole whips are a must do every time and I have to have a Mickeys premium!

 

[Nermel9]

Yum, you're list of Disney food looks SO good! I love the Magic Cookie bars from Roaring Forks, and the ice cream floats at Auntie Gravities! I didn't know those fresh potato chips existed, they look awesome! And I definitely need to try some Zebra Domes!

The only thing that I don't think is that good is the School Bread...everyone here raves about it, but I tried it and I found it kind of bland and dry. Maybe I just got it on a bad day, because it looks really good!

Were staying at Art of Animation LM section!

With the Food & Wine Fest eats, it is going to be hard to have room for all of the other snacking. I want to try at least one thing off of that list, though! I actually made a Word document and I'm going to print it off and put it in my trip binder so I have a reminder of what I wanted to try.

I'm not sold on the school bread either, but I feel like it's one of 'those' snacks that I have to at least say I tried!

Were staying at Art of Animation LM section!

LUCKY! There were only suites left when I looked into staying there and I'm not paying for a suite for just the two of us. We love Pop so much, though, so it's okay!

Made a few trip purchases today at the beloved Vera Bradley (outlet, I might add):

I'm not convinced that I like the newer design of the hipster (I know these patterns are from last winter) but I really like the pattern and for $35, you can't go wrong. The coin purse will come in handy since we always end up with so much change in Disney and the card holder is nice and thing and can hold cash, my id, KTTW card, etc.

I'm really excited for our trip and the excitement is only building b/c in just a little over 3 weeks, we'll be in Disney World!!! Ahhh!

 

[DisneyCrafter]

I get to preview the New Fantasyland!!! ​

More specifically, we get to take a self-guided tour of the Be Our Guest restaurant, ride the Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction, and have a meet and greet with Ariel!

Thanks to rachel09985's PTR, I found out that if you join D23, you can get 2 tickets to preview the New Fantasyland, so I signed up last night and was ready and waiting at noon to get tickets and although they weren't available until well after noon (must have been some technical difficulties), I snagged them right up!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!​

I am so glad you got tickets, because I got waitlisted!! haha, i am sooo sad!!!! I kept refreshing the page over and over and over and finally I saw the link. When I clicked on the link nothing said it was waitlisted, so I picked Enchanted Tales with Belle at 5pm , well that must have been the most popular option because it said i was waitlisted!!!! I am soo sad!!! I should have went with my initial instinct and picked Ariel.

Who knows, maybe the waitlist will come through. I guess I will just have to live vicariously through everyone else.
