FWIW, I definitely think the lanyards & pins should be the first gifts the girls get - probably the morning that you leave. You don't want them to get excited and buy their own before you can stop them. I can't remember what time you're leaving to head to WDW - is Natalie staying the night with you guys the night before? You could always give them the pajamas right before bed that night to get them in the WDW spirit, but that might mean you'd need an extra wake-up surprise.
This time next Saturday, I'll be frantically trying to finish up our last minute shopping, packing & getting everything ready for the cats to stay home alone for a week. This time next Sunday, we'll be all checked in at VWL and either hanging out in a park or relaxing by the pool. I can't wait!
VICKIE!!!!! 5 DAYS?!?!?!?!??!?!?! I am sooooo excited for you folks!!!!! Can you believe it's almost here?!?!?!? I am LOVING those lanyards you got! what a great deal and it's personalized?!?! Anyway, I hope I don't miss your send off. We've got a lot going on at home this week ...really busy. So I'll try and remember to come and say ALOHA before you folks leave! I'm gonna miss you and your funny replies while you're gone!!
Hey BFF! Love the lanyards! Can't believe next week we will already be heading to DHS by this time. We have to make rope drop for SWW.
Just send me that shopping list, just remember that I have a regular bed to my truck, not the extended one.
I got my Disney Files magazine today -- It talks about a Toy Story Playland in "Walt Disney Studios".
1) I don't recall ever hearing about a Toy Story Playland with three rides in it
and
2) Are they taking the "Hollywood" out of the name of the park?
I feel so behind...I looked online on the official site and didn't see anything about this.
I love the lanyards as first day wake up gift.
I can't believe i almost forgot to go get new pajamas! (smiley smacking forehead)
Did you see anything else about this? I tried looking but saw nothing! I even tried the rumors thread...
3 Days!!!!!!
I'm finishing our packing tonight!
OMG how exciting!!!!
Time has gone so fast. Hope you (and Melissa) have an amazing time in WDW. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
And, I finally figured out what's wrong with all my WRONG information: it's all great news for DISNEYLAND PARIS.
Maybe someday we can go to Europe and try the Slinky Dog Zig Zag Spin, or the RC Racer ride -- but not any time soon.
...that's okay, though -- we've got enough on our plate coming!!!
Wow, Vickie, it's just a couple of days now. I'm getting all excited.
You mentioned breakfast the morning of DHS. We have started eating at Starring Rolls there at DHS (I believe that is the name). They have lots of pastry's to eat, makes a good breakfast so we could ride, get FP's etc and then grab a bite to eat. I think that is what we did last year waiting for ya'll to get off the bus.
Got your cereal today, hope its the right kind. Will grab milk and the apples on Friday or Saturday morning on the way.
Oh, and wanted to let Vickie know and anyone else reading this. I haven't been on the Dis much so not sure if there has been any discussion about this, but was talking to one of my Dis friends there right now and she said there has been a lot of theft around the pools and water parks. So be careful what you take with you. She mentioned a very long line at TL to report thefts. She also said her and her son put down their stuff at POFQ pool at the very last two chairs. She mentioned that might not be a good idea and her son responded "Mom, it's Disneyworld, no one is going to take our stuff." Well, a little while later she said a very well dressed lady had her towel over her arm and was looking around when she walked up and told her to leave. Lady tried to say she had left her shoes there. Just be careful and have a great time on your trips everyone!!!!
vickie!! i CANNOT believe that you're leaving already!!! I'm loving your pics of your packing! If I miss your send off...i hope you have a wonderful and magical vacation...take lots of pics...oh yah, don't forget your camera!
I'll miss you while you're gone!! have fun!
