Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[Meeko5]

Oh yes we loved the Brita water bottles! We just got the free ice water from the QS places and dumped it in the bottles - better taste and easier to carry. We will be buying new ones for this trip. Super handy!

I always bring ziploc bags! The uses are endless!

Oh yes. Those too! We brought a box of quart and a box of sandwich size and threw a few in the backpack each day.

Tell him to pipe down, you're not a Boggart

I'm definitely going to tell him that and see if he gets it!

I'm with you and the "nice" coffee mug. We drink hot tea but I want a real cup when I get up in the morning.

I also bring plates and a sharp knife . Oh and a cutting board. We drive so we will bring fruit (apples, oranges) and I like to cut them up before I eat them

I was wondering about this... Would the hotel lend you a knife??? (staying at Swan and CR) I'm flying so I doubt I can carry it in my luggage...

Haha! HP Jokes are the best.

My 7yo and I just started reading the HP books this week. I am SO excited to share them with him!

You can pack it in your checked luggage! Just keep the blade in a sheath or wrapped in bubble wrap. We just packed a bigger pocket knife that folds and it was no problem

That's good to know! I might just do this... but I can hear my boggart, ahem... husband at the back saying ridiculous too

I have Brita water bottles too from last time! I suppose I should at least replace the filter.

What kind of tops are you guys planning on packing? I have a bunch of long sleeve shirts from when went in February, but I'm afraid I'm going to be hot. I started looking at tank tops but will that be too cold? I'm so undecided

@DisneyGB I love the idea of Christmas lights to bling the stroller!

I have all t-shirts. If it's too cold or too warm for those I am completely boned because I have no back up plan, lol. So it'll be t-shirts and a hoodie if I need it.

I'm not sure I should be reading these packing ideas. After the custom t shirt binge, I'm not allowed to buy anything else.

Congrats to everyone on their FP's! I did really well this morning and got everything I wanted within a 5-minute time frame of my original plans (I wasn't doing 7DMT, PPF, or FEA though, so take that with a grain of salt). That process is a pain to navigate, though...I'd see one time open, click too fast past it, then on the next screen that time wouldn't show up, I'd refresh 7 more times...it all finally worked out, but man do they over-complicate it.

And one good thing- I was worried about my ability to get up during my vacation to get ready at 6/6:30am - even though I do it for work. However, last night, I was so excited to simply book Fastpasses that I was up 20 minutes early! So at least I know that won't be a problem in November.

My kids chewed the sport tops because they are animals they now have a bigger hard sided one with a straw that I think we will get 2 of. Just waiting to find a good sale!

I had all tshirts last time and was not prepared for the cold rainy nights. I ended up buying 2 sweatshirts while I was there. At least I have fun Disney attire for the cooler nights now!

I bought 6 Brita bottles for our last trip and only ended up using one in the room for coffee water. We liked the taste of the free water at the quick service places just fine. Now if I can just figure out which water bottle has been used...

I'll be in my everyday uniform - tee shirts and a hoodie. I need a new black hoodie though, so I can iron a castle decal I made onto it.

yes I have become that mom. haha.
