And I have now started packing!
So far it has all my wintery stuff - big jackets, thermals, fleece-lined jeans, and woolly socks!
And my day pack/carry-on bag...
So far it has paperwork for each destination, plus a beanie, scarf, gloves, leg warmers, and thermal top for when we arrive in Paris! This particular bag is on its last legs. I do intend to buy a Disney messenger bag when I'm over there, but I'll have more than a week of travelling before we get to Disney, so I'll just use this one in the meantime and chuck it when I get a new one.
My paperwork is looking pretty good now - all in its separate folders per destination, and the pink one is stuff that I'll need for the whole trip (my itinerary, travel insurance docs, copy of my passport etc).
I went out for dinner with some friends on Friday night. One of them has a DH who is a travel wholesaler, and had recently been sent some promo items from Disney. So she rocked up with an envelope full of goodies for me
I'm using the Main Street USA luggage tag for my trip, and am taking the Adventureland one for Mum (she's a Lion King fan). There was also a Tomorrowland one which I'll save for when we move house and I need to change the address
There were also some new DLR pins
It was so sweet of him to think of me, and it totally made my night!
Now, how's that list looking?
Print off information I have gathered - in progress
Gather paperwork together, make copies of important docs to leave with DH - in progress
Book in for a hair cut and eyelash tinting - still need to do
Make sure I have enough of any prescription meds - done, all good!
Exchange some cash - this will depend on when I get some money!
Check out options for motion sickness meds - still need to do
Waterproof my boots (bought the waterproofer weeks ago, just need to use it ) - done
Get a few pairs of decent socks - done, and packed
Paint my Disney nails - won't do until the last minute (my nails never last!)
Start packing! - in progress
I've come up with a Plan B in case the tax money doesn't turn up in time. I have managed to save (with a LOT of effort and willpower) nearly $900 towards my NEXT Disney trip (see signature)
Worst case, I can transfer this back to my accessible account and use that until the tax money comes in. It will definitely be a last resort option, as if I take any money out of that account I don't get any interest for the month. But as soon as the tax money comes in I'll get DH to transfer it to my account, pay back my savings, pay off my credit card, and have the rest to use as spending money
