Did online check in for both resorts and requested my Disney Visa reward card this morning! Still need to order Memory Maker...

Ok, here's my latest plan:
Fri 11/25 - arrive @ 4:30, check in @ BC, dinner/ice cream on the Boardwalk, relax at resort
Sat 11/26 - 7:30 breakfast @ Cape May Cafe, HS day (Minnie's dinner +Fantasmic)
Sun 11/27 - MK day (ppo BOG, dinner CP)
Mon 11/28 - AK am (EMH, Flame Tree quick service lunch), EP pm (Garden Grill dinner)
Tues 11/29 - MK day (ppo BOG), Ohana dinner
Wed 11/30 - MK day (ppo BOG), 5:00 ME, 8:15 flight home

The boys decided they don't want to do Jedi Training and they want to cancel their Pirates League reservation (which, by the way, increased prices big time since last year - $45 each!). Now we need to decide which 2 out of 3 days we want to do BOG lunch and do we need 3 ppo breakfasts??

Yay for saving money on pirates league though!

We arrive at MCO at 315p and staying at BC. Hopefully we aren't on the same magic express bus. Last year it seemed to take forever to get on the bus.

We've never had too much of a wait. Fingers crossed for a repeat!

We arrive at MCO at 3:20 on 11/26.... Hope to be at CBR by 4:30 and DS by 5:30 for T-Rex . We get to the contemporary docks by 8:30 for our wishes cruise.

Got my MDE luggage tags in the mail today, just keep inching slowly to Thanksgiving day and when we leave. Just hope my eye is better by then, it's been almost 2 weeks and it's still not okay yet

Southwest just dropped the morning flight on day after Thanksgiving by $69 per person!!! Not sure I can convince DH to fly 4 hours earlier since we would have to leave our house at 6am. I'll just keep watching it like a hawk just in case they drop the mid day flight too.. Fingers crossed!!

I keep watching to see if an earlier flight drops in price but no luck

Oh no! I hope your eye heals quickly. I know from experience eye pain is the worst. Extra vitamin C promotes eye healing. Sending good thoughts.

We're still anxiously waiting for our laggage tags.

When do the luggage tags come??!

Last trip the ME area was PACKED. we waited 45 min to get on a bus with tired kids who had been up since 4am

 

[Meeko5]

I think around 30 days out, give or take a week or two.

I probably need to pay my trip balance so they will send my goodies eh? That's my plan today. Sams today for the last of the GCs and pay in full today

This showed up on timehop today - packed and ready go to Disney for the first time 1 year ago.

And LOOK at all that crap haha. 1 of those was full of food alone

(In my defense we also had to pack a ton of diapers/wipes/clothes for the toddler)

Mine will look like that this year!

I'm thinking I will use amazon prime to deliver some pull ups and wipes to the hotel, and only bring enough for a few days just in case. I was realllllly hoping the toddler would be potty trained fully by the time we go but no such luck...if anyone sees a crazy curly haired almost 3 year old yelling "I need a diaper for poooooooooop!!!" that would be my son LOL

Too funny!

I usually do the family packing. A couple years ago DH had a little fit and decided we were only taking one suitcase. He was so full of himself and how clueless he was about everything the family actually uses on vacation. So that year I packed one suitcase all right. One suitcase full of stuff for me! 3 days out I showed him the one suitcase that was packed and he had to scramble to pack stuff for the rest of the family in his 1 suitcase. On the trip he kept asking for stuff, like a pair of scissors, baby wipes, snacks, none of which we had, since he had placed a limit on the amount of luggage.

No more comments have ever been made about luggage on trips.
