My WDW Trip Accomplishments of the day :) Part 2

[DisneyFunFamily4]

Oops, sorry I misunderstood HB!

WHY would you think you needed to bring heavier stuff in APRIL than you did in DECEMBER?

And DFF4 - do you really want to A-spend time offsite buying jeans or B-settling for whatever they might have for warmth in the parks? I think neither. Gotta vote with your DH here and say throw a pair of jeans in the car. (HB will be wearing hers!) And I HAVE been known to purposefully underpack on a sweatshirt if I'm 'due' to get a new one.

I am wearing a pair of jeans down, I will need a sweat shrit for the car, DH likes it freezing but I live with it since he drives. I have learned to layer in the cars. I have a pair of denium capris i'm bringing. I have had my eye one a sweatshrt for a while now so that may just follow me home! LOL!

I NEED to be 10 stone before I go public in the Beach Club pool!

Sorry, but us yanks need the translation into pounds!

[KJSJpipe]

1 stone = 14 pounds

[Hannahbelle]

I re packed AGAIN!! I'm going nuts!! LOL!!
I think I'm ok on weight limit though. I was saying that I thought my suitcase would have MORE room and weigh less this time compared to DEC when I had to pack jeans and sweatshirts but this time my suitcase is still PACKED to capacity. I guess I packed to many Tshirts! ;-)

I also ironed all my shorts, I know they will probably get wrinkled again in the suitcase but they were REALLY bad. Now I can just touch them up at the hotel if needed.

Since DH wont be traveling with us for 90 percent of this trip I cant put any over flow into his suitcase BUT the funny thing is because he has to dress in business casual he has TWICE as many outfits as I do. Sometimes he has to do some physical work in setting stuff up in the ball rooms so he needs extra clothes in case he gets too sweaty. EEW.

I already had a new sweatshirt follow me home from DL in March. ;-) Its super cute. It has flip flops on it.

This made me laugh. Mine are almost packed and done. Still 30day out. Have a blast on your trip!

Wait - they said there would be no math . . .

[KJSJpipe]

They lied.

But, Scooby! That's fantastic! Look at what you have accomplished so far! Good for you!

[scoobydooby]

6lb down. 36 to go. Posting here is helping me, it's kinda like a very public weigh in!

[scoobydooby]

Just applied for 4 new ESTA's as our old ones will expire before August. Website was an horrendous pain but we got there in the end. Cost $14 each which is interesting as it was free when it was introduced a few years ago.

This is an immigration check thing for entry to the US.

Hi mazzie. I'll private mail you. Put 2lb on overnight. No fair! Didn't eat anything bad. Alcohol from the bank holiday weekend I fear.

[KJSJpipe]

I put the last of the money for food on gift cards. I also tweaked all my "spread sheet" info.
Getting the 60 day countdown board ready, only about a week before we can start using it!

[scoobydooby]

Cancelled our Captain's Grill ADR and swapped it for Kouzzina. That makes 8 new table service restaurants for us to try in August.

[scoobydooby]

Cancelled Sci-Fi for dinner and booked Cinderella's Royal Table for lunch instead. I couldn't help it!!!!

I am currently on hold waiting to book our preferred viewing spots for Wishes and Illuminations. Have been on hold from the UK for 25 minutes now. Not amused......

Now that sounds exciting!

[foolishmortal]

Got the last of the clothes and bags for our trip today! YEAH . Shopping with the Dh and kids in tow was so not fun.lol

Now to finish up washing the last of it and topping off the bags.

Boo is typing up a check list of all the clothes in the bag ans the price, in case they get lost for insurance purpose.

Then we'll have one copy with us and one in the safe.

Have my note book with all the ressies and #'s in it!

Now on the Kennedy tickets and some small stuff.

[nikkithepooh]

Can't sleep...and am waiting for this headache to go away. But got alot done today. I am packed, itinerary typed, lists made. Did some last minute shopping for my mom today (yesterday) and finally she has pants!!! It was touch and go for awhile and we teased that she would just have to wrap a towel around herself for a week. The most difficult part of this two week/split trip was making pet sitting arrangements for my westie! We will all be gone for the second week and poor little thing will be alone at home. Sitter coming 3 times a day with some overnight stays. I hope this goes ok!

Work Monday and Tuesday and a half day Wednesday. Then off we go bright and early Thursday morning. For some reason I am a little nervous or worried. Can't really put my finger on it...I just want my parents to enjoy this trip and not have any medical problems. Also worried that I might lose my voice like I did last time when I took them! Dad is hard of hearing and I don't have a real loud voice. And they tend to make me repeat myself alot!!! They are 81 and 84 and I love that they are mostly up for this trip! Dad still works and is in great shape, while Mom is slowing down a bit and has some memory issues which are a bit worrisome. Dad keeps talking about a trip to Sicily... (my Nonnie once told him he has to go before he dies!!) Epcot and the Italy Pavilion are so much easier at this stage!

Received my family's tickets this week from Undercover Tourist. That was pretty painless and actually saved me some money! Figured out a way to save on baggage fee too. So I am ahead $60 some dollars this week. I think that should cover a pedicure and hair appointment on Tuesday night! Will mail my tax returns tomorrow and make one final Target trip.

The last six months have been extremely stressful and finally things have come together. (DH had a really hard time finding a job after being cut, and is now very excited to be working a full-time job with benefits.) DD's wedding has been called off (that's a very, very good thing). So when they come down for week two, we will really have alot to celebrate!

Well...that's about it for now. Better try for some sleep!

Kat, when you pack up, you'll want to divide everyone's stuff amongst the bags - so that if one does get lost, everyone will have SOMETHING to wear.

Lynn, deep breaths - everything will be fine. Are your parents staying for the second week?
