Does anyone have a recommendation for a rain jacket for women? I had a nice lightweight hooded one that I cannot around here find for the life of me. I have spent a month looking in every possible location and it's gone somehow. Ugh!

I don't have a good recommendation, but am having a similar problem! My bathing suit has disappeared. It must be holed up with your jacket somewhere...

I have had an LL bean rain coat since college (so over 10 years now) and it rolls up tiny and has no wear and tear whatsoever so I would absolutely recommend one of those. Best quality I have found in a jacket.

I just got notified of a 5:40 pm that same day for 6. I was able to grab it, but I'm not sure if we'll keep it. We have FEA at 4:25 that day, seems like it would be a little tight to make that happen.

I'm looking for an 8pm on 11/28 since we'll be at AK all day that day. Though I'm really hoping that AK extends hours and has ROL....

I believe I'm currently holding 3 ADR's for 'Ohana, none of them at times I really can see us going!

EDIT: I just checked and I'm actually holding 4 reservations! Ugh! I need to clear out a couple of those.

Umm...I lost count of how many I have. I put a few up for grabs, but no bites on them yet.

Ok guys, laying in bed with no one home. What do I need to accomplish? 29 days to go! Magic bands should arrive tomorrow

Mine isn't. But they do have lined ones. Their jackets are a little pricey but everything I've ever gotten from there has lasted forever.

How's your packing list coming? Have you made a list for all the last-minute things at home to take care of? For me that includes setting the thermostat, taking care of the mail, making final arrangements for our kitties, etc...

Have you gone over your touring plans recently to check the flow of your days and see if there are any obvious snags? Do you have your ADR's set the way you want them (or at least the way you can live with)? Have you made a list of snacks to try in each park and Disney Springs (if you're going there)?

Just a few things that could keep me busy on a down day.

You're good!!

THIS! Our schedule has so many snacks written into it I don't know how we are going to eat them all.

 

[Iowamomof4]

Oh, another thing you could do if you're really desperate is to plan your week of meals leading up to Disney to try not to have a bunch of food left in the fridge.

The thing I struggled with last time was trying to decide how many of each snack to get. One time I got a single cronut for 3 of us to split, but then we ended up with SO MANY snack credits at the end that I should have just gotten one for each of us instead. It's hard to know though, especially when it's something new.

The snack credits are my favorite but we always end up with so many at the end as well. We always want to save it for the more expensive snacks when we should just use them as we go along. I always use a few for a good old Mickey pretzel for a late night snack

We had a bunch of credits left too. We definitely won't be splitting Dole Whips this year. Or, if we do, we will get one each MK day!!

Snacks are going to be my biggest problem! I don't have enough stomach space for everything I want!!

we did that too! I definitely dont want to end up with so many snack and QS meal credits left (it was so hot, our appetites were down!) so this time I plan to use the snack credits more wisely. Mickey bars for all!!

However I am hoping the refillable popcorn buckets are still there and available for the length of stay still. My kids LOVE popcorn and that would be a cheap and easy snack instead of using a credit for a scoop of cheap popcorn

The thing that really caused us to end up with so many leftovers was that I was the only one who knew where the good snacks were! When I had just 1 or 2 kids with me, we would stop for a snack. Different kids with me got: a funnel cake w/ strawberry topping at Oasis Canteen (no longer a snack credit. ), Dole Whip floats, cinnamon rolls at Gastons (2 different times with different kids), and a cronut at Refreshment Port in Epcot. Poor dh, I think he only ever got a Dole Whip out of that list.
