Planning stuff is mostly slowing to a crawl as I just am buying little things for the trip like sunscreen and mouthwash. Isn't that exciting??
First, here are the tie dye shoes mom will be wearing on MNSSHP night. I bought the same pair, but they are NOT comfortable to me at all, so I'm returning them.
We had hoped to be dressed pretty similar just to be cutesy, so I'm sorry the shoes don't work for me! Oh well, I'll wear some grey shoes, it'll work.
I took some time today to drag out all of my packing stuff. I love packing cubes and such, so these are all accounted for and ready to go! I should be able to get all shirt and dresses in the folder, and just pack my shorts/pants separately.
Here is my collection of MBs. The green was my very first one in November of last year; the pink was my May MB, and the red and blue are my passholder and my upcoming onsite trip MBs, respectively. And of course, my little passholder slider; I most likely won't wear that, because I don't want to make the MB uncomfortable and I'm not sure how that little thing would feel rubbing on my arm. I'm ok with the MB, I know that much.
Now on to day 8!
This is the first sad day - Mom is leaving! Her flight doesn't head back to the Midwest until 5:25, so she won't be leaving until about 2:30 - 3 to go to the airport. This is also the day I check into Pop Century, so we'll pack up at SVR and go try to get into Pop. Still trying to decide on what I want for my requests at Pop! I know I want to be in the 50s section, so I'll be requesting that if possible. Otherwise I usually just roll the dice!
Mom and I don't have plans in the morning. We might go to HS together for one last hurrah on ToT, or we might hang out at the Pop pool if my room is ready. No telling what we'll do in the morning.
In the afternoon I have three FP+ at HS, and am still trying to decide on the Epcot After Hours Wind Down that night. La Cava is still open for that night as well as Rose and Crown; just have to decide if I want to relax and have a drink after the park has closed. It will be after a LOOONG week, so I might just want to head back to Pop and have a good long sleep. However, there will be plenty of time for sleeping when I return home!!
My first FP+ at HS is an old favorite, Muppet Vision! Next I have TSMM, and then the last FP is ToT. Should be a relaxing night! If I don't do the wind down, I will probably come back to Pop and have a poolside drink, then maybe a nighttime swim. Hopefully the weather isn't too bad!
After this, I still have days 9, 10, and half of day 11 to go. Wow, this trip seems to be getting longer and longer!
Things still to decide or do:
1) HM DDB bag - wish it would just come out already! I keep dreaming about it! I want to know if they'll be available so that I know how much money is budgeted for purses vs. the trip. I will absolutely buy online if they show up there, and then buy my sketch purse at the park.
2) Decide on Memory Maker or not. Still leaning towards it, but that's a lot of souvenir money! I dreamt last night that we decided we wanted it, but then realized we were already on the third day of our trip and would have to pay $200 for it!
3) Buy a couple more shirts; I have exactly 11 outfits for 11 days - I need at least two or three more to be sure I'm covered if I ruin something or decide to change mid day.
4) Tonight I'm starting cardio kickboxing; I need to lose about 7 lbs right now (at least then I could fit in additional clothing that I could take with me to WDW!).
5) Go get my Pandora bracelet (b-day gift) so that I can get a Chamilia charm when we go down; Pandora will be sponsoring Wishes starting this November, so there will soon be Pandora Disney charms as well! This will be done next weekend.
But I do hope to get a few favorite rides in!
