8 days for us Trying to ignore the depressing posts about how Hurricane Matthew is going to destroy the city of Orlando and hope all will be sunny and business as usual

Did you book a package with Disney directly? That's the only way to get the character luggage tags.

yes we did book through Disney.

Are you certain you took apart every liner of the inside of the magic bands box?

We did take it apart after I saw the posts. My daughter got her box separate and there were none in hers either. Oh well, not a big deal, just like getting the little "extras"

I use a TA and I get the luggage tags.

If your TA books through Disney, that's the same thing as booking directly yourself. You still get all the same "perks."

I guess I should have said that your reservation needed to be booked through Disney (not a 3rd party vendor).

That's too bad. But glad you checked again. I wouldn't have known to do that unless someone here mentioned it once.

I'm so excited, 10 days out for me. Praying for all my friends and everyone else in FL right now as this looks like it's going to be a doozy. I'm all packed up except for a few little bits and bobs...it's finally feeling real!! Hope everyone there now & traveling in the coming days has safe travels.

We arrived home around midnight last night. We had a great trip and really enjoyed the MNSSHP. We did end up leaving a day early in order to get ahead of the evacuation traffic so we missed a half day at MK but we got everything done that morning and during the MNSSHP the night before.

What a crazy October already. Was wondering if we'd have to cancel there for a while but looks like we're still on. 5 more sleeps!

Me too worried on having to cancel ! Seven more sleeps for us and on our way! What is really funny is we lost power today for five hours...no bad weather and friends in Orlando said they have been fine! We are going to bring portable chargers for phones etc and flashlights !

8 days!! I ordered our Amazon Prime Pantry delivery today, it should be delivered Thursday. 12 packs of 16oz waters were $2.48, so I got two plus some granola bars and a multipack of chips.

I finished up my costume today so I could finish packing the Halloween suitcase. I got so excited putting on the DME tag! Haha! This week is going to be incredibly busy with finishing packing and then DD has several school events happening also. I will be so ready to get on an airplane Sunday!!
