Your cards are so organized and such a great idea! It's something easy to look at in the morning, but also something that it useful during the day. Did you say where you got the idea? or was it YOUR idea??

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Love your daily cards. I'm going to "steal" this idea for sure!

Any progress with the packing?

Thanks! Last time I made a spread sheet but I wanted something smaller to carry and this the cards were born!! I want to laminate them
In case they get wet and such !

Steal away!

Haha, no.
Just a huge pile of suitcases. All I've done is add things to it! I'll probably do it Saturday when the hubs is home bc I need his stuff still!

Oh My Goodness!!!!!

I have been so busy this week, I have missed EVERYTHING!!!!!! You are so ahead and organized!!!! You once again make me feel like I am behind!

Wow! the packing..........we will be tackling that chore this weekend! It is absolutely ridiculous the amount of stuff that we have to go through......

I can't WAIT to get there! we had a small setback and will not get to leave until Tues night so I had to cancel our AoA ressie......luckily it was just in time to get a full refund.... woohoo So we are back to our original plan of driving overnight and getting there early on Wed....

3 more days!!!!!!

 

[Denovagirl]

Bummer on the change but glad you had the original plan to fall back on!! You totally won't even care when you finally just get there!!! Eeeeeep!!!

 

[ach222]

I love the cards and am so jealous of how many days you have - so exciting! Hopefully you can book the bounce back!

 

[Denovagirl]

This. Is. Me.

​

Sigh.... I have ZERO motivation to do ANYTHING besides sit around and ponder my upcoming trip, which is, of course, making time stand still!! Ack! I wish I was busy, busy, busy so that the time would FLY! LOL!

I do actually have things I should be doing!! Like 2 pairs of shoes that need to be completed and shipped before I leave, as well as another package the girls made for Tess that I have had for WEEKS and haven't gone to post to ship yet. Seriously, this pre-Disney lull is the worst!!

But, low and behold, I was semi-productive today, look what I did!!

​

THEY CLOSE AND EVERYTHING!!!

Hahaha, I had to re-work my stuff but I managed to get it ALL into those 4 cases, and BEST OF ALL, the pink Tinkerbell one will not need to go to Disney with us! All that is in that one is our overnight stuff for the Austin stay and my makeup bag. So after we leave that morning, I will transfer my makeup to another bag, and then that one can go back home with Chris' mom! I am so thrilled by this because that means that I managed to get EVERYTHING in a measly 2 carry-ons, 1 checked-bag and 1 backpack!! SQUEEE!

Also, that checked bag contains a SECOND huge duffle, for the return trip, so there will be a whole other bag to bring souvies back in!!!

Everything's comin' together!

​

Also, today I FINALLY received some mail I was waiting on, my Snack-Port and my renewed drivers license! Yay!!

​

Oh, and just when you thought there was nothing left to plan or change, lol, I went ahead and followed suit and booked FP+ for the 4-7PM time before our party. If you haven't heard, you CAN do this by linking your tickets to MDE, and then it will allow you to pick additional FP+ even if you don't have an extra regular ticket for that day.

My initial thought was to not do any, bc that would be the ONLY day to be more relaxed and not have anywhere to be, but then I decided I would book some just in case, we don't have to use them if we don't wait too anyway.

So I ended up booking:

3:30-4:30 Little Mermaid
4:30-5:30 Pooh
5:30-6:30 Buzz

I did this order on purpose bc I figured I wanted to start that party off at 7PM in Tomorrowland, so this will let us go back, do a few rides, then make our way back to the front for the start of the party!

Our plan is to get in line for Lotso right before 7, as Olivia has decided this is her #1 priority meet. I think it's a funny choice, but hey, she loves Toy Story!

It was between him and Jack, but when we talked about how early you have to get in line for Jack or how long you have to wait we all decided we didn't want to meet him that badly. We figure Lotso should be pretty quick if we do him first, and after that the only characters we will meet will be any that happen to have very short lines, and hopefully catch Mickey & Minnie at the end of the party!

Oh, and TOTAL SCORE!! Some very nice person in my September planners group has a box fan they ordered that they are not taking back with them and they offered to leave it at POP under my name for me!! SQUEE! This is EXCELLENT news, as we always sleep with a fan and that was hard for us last year, so this will totally help us to get more rest during the nights! I couldn't be more happy to receive this pixie dust!! Hopefully I will find someone on the Oct page that is coming to POP after me that I can pass it along too as well!

Moving on. The to-do list, while not getting done at a rapid pace, is getting done. All that's left?

- Tip $ Ready
- Finish Shoes & Mail stuff
- Pedi & Hair (Tomorrow, yay!!)
- Print Cards and Laminate
- Final Clean on the Casa!
