Will this trip ever get off the ground? - Jan 2012 PTR - TOMORROW - 1/5!!!

[tankgirl427]

Now that's a good plan too.

See, what I didn't tell hubby, is that Andy is not flying down until the Tuesday after we get there and he won't have that much stuff. Therefore, I'm going to give him my Marco Island shirts to bring with him, and I'll send home the Mickey ones when he leaves us.

He won't care. He's a guy and those plans don't affect his sleep or food. I'm sure he'd wear the same thing for days on end if he had to. So just commander his suitcase as well! Just make sure Andy leaves room in his suitcase for your Marco Island shirts!

20 shirts!?! That's awesome! And congrats on being down to 'weeks!'

 

[annmarieda]

I have a feeling you will be seeing it in December! We're thinking costumes that aren't really costumes since its supposed to be almost as hot as it was at Labor Day last year. So it would work, but packing those, plus dying in the heat doesn't work for us.

Hmm... so something that doesn't really require packing... what about pirate and princess/pirate hats that you buy in the store near POTC?

Ohhhhhh! Look my first ticker no longer says X number of months, its down to weeks!!!!!

So I just sent this message to b and g regarding our October trip:

Disney Plans:

MNSSHP Costumes: *There is a plan I'm going to keep you guessing*


October 15th - I'll be in FL. G will drive down and meet up with me at some point. Check in to time share. Grocery shop. Pick up b a little after 9pm if no delays

October 16th - Either visit Epcot (Food and Wine Festival) open 9am - 9pm or Magic Kingdom (early morning breakfast reservation get in at 8am) open 9am - 7pm

October 17th - Vist Epcot (Food and Wine Festival) open 9am - 9pm or Animal Kingdom open 9am - 5pm

October 18th- Hollywood Studios (no Fantasmic today) open 9am - 7pm *Characterpalooza* or Magic Kingdom (MNSSHP) 4pm - 12am

October 19th - Either visit Magic Kingdom (early morning breakfast reservation get in at 8am if I can get one) open 9am - 9pm Wishes and MSEP will be shown or HS or AK?

October 20th - Either visit Magic Kingdom (MNSSHP) 4pm - 12am
or Epcot (Food and Wine Festival) open 9am - 9pm

October 21st - Either visit Epcot (Food and Wine Festival) open 9am - 9pm or Magic Kingdom (MNSSHP) 4pm - 12am

October 22nd - Pack up visit Animal Kingdom before airport if we want to.

I know it sounds really confusing. If I can secure us a reservation for breakfast on the 19th it works things out one way, if not, it works another way. Can't wait to see you all soon!


I had secured us breakfast reservations ahead of park opening on Sunday and Friday. We weren't really sure which day we were going to have breakfast. With the most recent park hours change MK opens at 8am on Friday (so breakfast is not ahead of park opening) and both Friday and Sunday are MNSSHP days so even with getting in early we'd have to leave at 7pm. So now I'm on the hunt for an early morning breakfast in MK for October 19th. Wish me luck and pixie dust!

Crossing my fingers for you that you get that early morning ADR on the 19th.

So...what costumes did you decide on?

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Are we kept guessing as to the MNSSHP costumes too?? I want to know what you decided on!!

Your plans sound great! Hope you're able to get that early ADR on the 19th!

I haven't found an early AM breakfast yet, but that's the worst case scenerio (no pooh's puffed toast). So if that's the worst, there is still a lot of good to come!

I hope someone cancels! Well not their vacation, but they decide they don't need to go or they open more reservations up.


And for costumes:

I was thinking we coudl be Alvin and the Chipmunks or Huey, Dewey, and Louie. But since those outfits got stopped at only wearing a t shirt and matching hat color, I'm not sure if it would make sense.

So one day we came up with something that you can have three of.......



















And I'll keep you guessing about it for now. I promise I'll reveal soon. Thursday is a BIG day for me!

 

[shocky5]

Your trip is sooo close!!!

Can't wait to hear the big surprise details!

 

[annmarieda]

I was just thinking about you. Your trip is getting so close. I can't wait to hear what you decide on for costumes...

This is truly a special day. I would be so excited if I were you. Heck... I am excited FOR you!!!

And...yes, 71 days or just 10 weeks from tomorrow. 10 weeks!!! This year is really winding down.

10 weeks seems like an awfully long time from now. But once you figure after I get back from the October trip it'll only be like 50 something days away!

 

[tankgirl427]

So in 9 short days I fly out.

SEVEN work days left!

I still don't have an early morning CP reservation for October, but I have one in December and January so its not the worst thing in the world.

BUT! There are some big changes! Today there was a AP discount for 2012, there was no availablity for POFQ (surprise surprise there) so I decided to see what I could get the discount for and decided to move us to.............................................................






















AKL! This is a dream resort for me to visit and the cost increase between the two is under $16! So we'll start at AKL and move to the studio at BLT.



In other news, I had yesterday off from work (again) because they shut the power down to the trailers, yes they said they were doing it last month, but it never happened and I got a free day off. So it happened yesterday. And while I was home, washing my laundry which I keep piled on my floor rather than the couch (the couch and coffee table make our regular dining set) and reducing my shirts and working on trying to pack, I got a phone call from work asking me to go to the main office for the next couple weeks to fill in for the front desk (the normal girl is getting married) I once again reminded them I have my vacation coming up, but besides that I don't mind. So I'm off to there for noon today until vacation starts. Its no fun there, no jeans, no sneakers, no fun. But one of the guys here asked me if I was going to a project down the street (which I know they have being trying to get me on it) but I didn't know anything definate (sp?) yet. So I have 2 1/2 days in the office this week, LONG weekend due to the holiday and then 4 days in the office and I'm off!!!!
