***Official June 2018***

Time seems to be flying by now! 21 days til we leave! I have pretty much tied up all loose ends minus getting new shoes. I have been sick since Wed and feel like crap. I have way too much to get done before our trip to feel this way.

Hope you're feeling better soon! I got sick last Sat. and am still feeling the remnants almost a week and a half later. It definitely derailed a lot of things I needed to get done.

WHEE!!! Mimosas for breakfast on the 3rd!!!

We have a CP breakfast on our 1st park day and that's what I was thinking too. But the article says dinner. Do you think they'll bend the rules?

 

[Sydney2977]

Our Magic bands should ship tomorrow! I actually have it on our calendar! DS1, who came home for a surprise visit Sun., looked at the calendar yesterday and asked how I had that on there. His GF and I both answered at the same time- "Cuz that's the day after the last day you can customize them!" I can't wait to decorate!

I can't imagine they'd offer mimosas just for dinner. Stranger things have happened, especially at Disney, but mimosa = breakfast, so I've got fingers crossed!

ETA Disney Food Blog says the beverages are for all three meals at CP!!!!

Thanks! I do too, I am so over it. I feel a little better today I think, but very tired, the coughing is keeping up til early hours of the morning. Ah well LOL Gotta keep moving!

6/2 - MK day #1. BBB reserved for DD at 8:05.
6/3 - EPCOT day. Have to RD Soarin' since I couldn't get a FP (got FEA though!!! DD will be happy.) And I'm not leaving without trying Yorkshire County fish & chips. We'll be done by 4:30 probably, so we'll return to condo & get ready for date night. Meet KNO sitter at 5:15.

25 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should also add that all park tickets except one have been bought. Got a good deal thru Undercover Tourist. Can't believe I left that detail out of my update.

I’m only anxious as we have not told our littles about the surprise- and we plan to do so on Saturday- hence the reason I’m anxious to receive them by then.

I was anxious and didn't need them for a reveal or anything. I'm just crazy like that. lol Mine weren't in personalization stage for very long and shipping took only a couple of days. I hope you get them in time.

 

[xmansmom]

BoyMom: I didn't actually check ours until maybe Thursday/Friday and saw that they were in personalization mode. They shipped out Saturday, and we got them today. It was incredibly fast shipping compared to what I'm use to for some things coming through USPS.

Were your luggage tags all the same? I got 4 with Mickey and Minnie and one Donald. They didn't match the bands like last time. Now I have 3 kids that all want the Donald tag. The grey tags are kind of boring.

I got 3 with Minnie kissing Mickey (grey) and the others were an orange one with Donald and a green one of Mickey & Minnie on a bike.

I was slightly disappointed since last year they were 5 different colors and characters and yes matched the bands.

 

[AColeman]

We got three different ones, and it was actually a surprise. (Can you tell it's our first trip?) I didn't know that we got luggage tags and was wondering what in the world they were since we aren't flying. Haha. We got 2 grey Mickie/Minnie ones, a green Mickey/Minnie, and the orange Donald.

I am all about adding more alcohol to MK. Though I know there are several against.

[Bostonbeans99]

We're not flying either but until I bought my family new luggage this year (all different colors) ...I had 3 kids with exact same blue suitcases and the luggage tag looked better than having to write their name on it with a sharpie or putting tape on it with their name

One of the nice things about a Disney vacation. The magic starts before you even leave.

I wonder if they're out of the others or maybe they're using them up so they can roll out some new styles. That would be awesome!

Too bad, more for us! I don't care for the orange juice at Crystal Palace though, too pulpy for my tastes. I wonder if they have other juices as well, I've never bothered to ask. Because I'm doing a TIW card this time, I might try to get a pog juice mimosa at Tusker House if they serve it.

I think POG with alcohol would be quite lovely!

 

[ArielSRL]

Updated shipping on my bands...coming today instead of tomorrow! Wahoo!!

So, as far as extending hours, it is usually mid month, and it is usually a Friday or Monday. Do you guys think this Friday is too soon? I would love it if it was done then. Monday is the 14th though, so that may be a more viable option. I am hoping it is not Fri the 18th. Ugh.

Kona Cafe has POG mimosas at breakfast. They are beautiful, beautiful things...
