I went with the getaway travel people. They upgraded my package and i got a 50th anniversary pin for each of us, plus those neck things with the little packet for your tickets/fastpasses etc. I got my hotel voucher, transportation to/from airport, and 2 adult hopper ticket vouchers (i take those to the ticket booth at the front gate right?). ANd they sent a little coupon book that looks like it'll come in handy too :)

I'm so excited. I have the other hopper ticket we need and will hve the childs hopper by the end of next week (a friends picking it up for me thru work at a discount).

My folks have given each of the three children $30 in disney dollars for souveneirs so all I need now is food money :)

We're really going!!!

When will you be there? We are leaving in 19 days, and ours hasn’t arrived yet…sigh. It does add to the excitement when it arrives, doesn’t it?

Congratulations!

Congrats to you - but I am curious about one thing. I see you live in Phoenix. I do as well, and we always drive. It's only about 5.5 hours. Why did you opt to fly, especially with 5 of you going (at least that's how many I think you're going with). Saves a lot of money to drive, even with gas prices as they are. Airfare even on special will run you around $90/person, then you have ground transportation costs. Takes about 40 gallons round trip.

We drove it last time and it wasn't a big deal at all. But we have FREE vouchers with southwest and decided gas is $, our van isn't in the best shape, we have 3 kids and FREE plane tickets that expire march 2006 why not fly the kids out and let them have the excitement of the plane trip as well :)

lanyards... tee hee. We're such novices. But we're going to have a blast! Going to scour the boards now for more insight and info. You guys are such gurus i'm so happy to have found yoU!

Oh, and we got our happy meals at mcd's this week so each kiddo has a little mickey mouse theyre carrying around. LOL.

Beware the pins and lanyards! About 3 or 4 years ago I got totally hooked! It's too much fun!
