Mine are 2 and 4! They're exactly 2 years apart, almost to the day. 2 years and 4 days apart.

Haha that's crazy, mine are one day from being exactly 2.5 years apart!

Yes indeed! It's a great way to massage your feet if you don't have a travel partner (or one who isn't willing to touch your 14-hour-park-day feet ). I used it when I tap danced in a show and it worked wonders. A tennis ball is also good

Thanks for the tip! Adding a golf ball to my packing list

 

[Shelbizzles]

Don't laugh but I'm so tempted to start packing. The girls have a brand new Disney wardrobe that will be a surprise to them when we get there anyway so it's not like we need the clothes no lol. Ive been stocking up on Disney shirts and dresses on sale at the Disney store, old navy, h&m and gap.

I also had a nightmare the other night that we were in Disney and I forgot all the stuff I had bought for the trip. In my dream I remember saying to myself this isn't real wake up lol.

Yes, yes. I have issues.

I only laugh because I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I had a dream the other night that we arrived for our trip and I realized I forgot all my clothes and our Magic Bands. I literally woke up in a panic.

Sooo Excited, we are down to 40 days!! I think I have a pretty good handle on the planning and our itinerary doesn't look to awful. It is just DH & I, so I am planning on a bit more park hopping than we could do with both kids.

9/17 - Land @ MCO at 10am and head to CR. Planning on Lunch in DS or EP for Food & Wine...WCC ADR @ 7pm
9/18 - HS, no ADR as we are doing SW Dessert Party
9/19 - MK for MNSSHP, BOG ADR @ 6:30pm
9/20 - MK, O'hana ADR @6:30pm
9/21 - AK in the AM (able to snag FOP relatively early), hop to HS in the PM. Sci-Fi ADR @ 5pm
9/22 - EP for Food & Wine, than Yachtsman ADR for our Anniversary dinner
9/23 - FLight leaves MCO @ 5pm, so we will take the morning to hit 1 last park for a bit.

We are also doing F&W on the 22nd. So jealous of your yachtsman ADR. I'm not able to make it this trip
Maybe some day
Oh and happy anniversary

I would love to see wardrobe pics! I think maybe 90% of the fun of planning this trip has been ordering outfits for my girls!

I love seeing outfit ideas! I don't have children though, so they would only be mine. (That I organized and took pictures of months ago)

Haha, me too! I have them saved in my Notes app with our plans for the day! It will make packing easier, at least.

 

[Amunet]

I wish I could start getting stuff packed but I have to wait until after the 22nd of this month. We are going camping for the eclipse and packing for that is more of a priority. I want to pack ALL the Disney clothes! Lol but I have to wait

 

[menotyou21]

Since so many of us are looking for things to occupy ourselves with... How about we start a conversation about what we are most excited to be bringing to WDW? A lot of you have mentioned travel bins, wardrobe, etc so maybe we could see what everyone's bringing. It may just jog someone's memory who would have forgotten something!

I wouldn't say most excited, but a few good items to bring: ziploc bags was a great mention above; as was the blister prevention cream (Dr Scholl's® Active Series® BlisterDefense - one we use....not suggesting it's the best, but we like it).

I'd also suggest:
1. Sunscreen sticks for your face
2. If you will have a stroller, bring a Yeti type cup. We bring 2 that fit snug in the stroller cup holders. Easily provides the kids with cold water all day.
3. Thinking safety.....don't forget band aids/neosporin/ibuprofen

I'm not going to list everything, as I believe most ppl here have a pretty good idea of the "normal" items to bring. 25 Days to go and we are so excited!

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

So I've never eaten at TS just QS...I'm trying to remember from the vast amount of information that I've read but I've got a few questions for the 3 TS ADRs that we've got:

1) Is the time you should be checking in 15mins before your actual reservation time? Or is it some other time before your actual reservation time?

2) Is it that you have to check in earlier than your actual reservation time or that you are just recommended to do that?

I had a dream where I turned up without a camera and phone I think and all sorts missing and I was just lost and upset, I woke up feeling sad as well.

I took pictures of mine too, I used the spell of hot weather to figure out what I would be comfortable in and to try and theme my outfits, I'm not Disneybounding because its all basically denim shorts and a vest/tank top but I have some animal and African style prints for AK and of course I had to make sure my Mickey ears matched my outfits. I had to buy a new pair because the red bow on mine clashed with my two pink tops

I was thinking of taking a bit of bubble wrap for any ornaments I might buy to make sure they are well cushioned. I think every or almost every time I've flown back from the US I've had a damaged suitcase so I want to make sure anything that can break has a better chance.

Only 27 more days till I step on the red eye, will hopefully wake up and be in FL.

 

[MissMaryQC]

Currently on Pinterest looking for DIY MB decoration ideas. Has anyone ever done the temporary tattoos? It's looking. Like you apply the tattoo to the band and then seal it with clear nail polish?

Any other simple ideas? I can't paint and I want to include DD(2). TIA!

I would think you can even do this with stickers as long as you seal it with something, such as clear nail polish, I would only put on one coat as it might make it too rigid. A lot of people make them sparkle with clear nail polish with glitter.

 

[ChiefM]

Got a question. We check in on a Sunday morning and no park planned for that day but can we get on the monorail and do the loop and resort hop?

Mine is the same! And it's supposed to be here by Sarurday!

USPS tracking is not the greatest. Last year mine never moved in the tracking, even after they arrived.

OH that would be an AWESOME surprise to come home to!!!

 

[Doug S]

I believe it's a similar setup to Amazon: a private carrier takes the package as far as they can within their network, then transfers it to USPS for final delivery. Last year it took my first set 8 days from showing up in tracking to delivery.
