Last year we got a laminating machine. I cannot believe how much I actually use this thing! It's crazy!
Today I laminated:
* our dining punch cards - someone on the DISign thread was making dining punch cards to help keep track of meals. I laminated them and I have a hole punch that I am taking with us so that we can keep better track of what we have left.
* my itinerary cards - same type as I did last year. 3x5 on a ring, attached to my backpack. Tells me what park we're doing that day, has the ADR's, confirmations, etc.
* flat Matt, flat Shelly and flat someone-else-to-be-named-later-because-it-is-a-surprise! I blew up pictures to aroudn 8 x 10, then laminated them, and then trimmed them. All I have to do is find a stick (thinking paint store) and then figure out how to attach them to the sticks without having to staple through their faces.
I had previously laminated:
* snack credit list
* CM thank you cards
This helps keep me organized for the trip.
I need to make one last run to the store for one thing and that's it.
Jenn is driving down and she was kind enough to bring a case of water for me so that I don't need to order one from Costco and have it delivered.
I promised Joe that I would not drive him nuts about packing. My guess is that he will start around 24 hours before we leave...if that.
That's it for this morning's update. I am a bit bummed, if you can believe it. The worst thing about vacation is that it ends. And then I come home and am bummed out. This week has to be my favorite. The week leading up to departure. OOOOOhhhhh, I can't wait!
We have 8 days!!!
I went everywhere and came up with nothing. I hope that you find some. 
So, that said, I have no clue if we're taking the equipment or not. I am going to try and reconfigure my carry on stuff so that can be a carry on. We are allowed one carry on and a "personal item" so maybe that will pass as the "personal item?" I thought I'd shove my backpack and my laptop in my carry on bag. Crossing fingers that it works out. I still can't believe we have to pay $160 in luggage fees this trip. 
This is the first time that we've not flown Elite or full coach so we didn't have to pay them before......but you know what..............DON'T CARE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!
