Can I have my very own Pre-TR too?

TaraRae82 · 08-21-2009

So, DH and I leave in 25 days (Sept 16) for our very first trip as parents!

DD will be 11 months on Sept 7 and I'm so excited for her very first Disney trip! I cannot believe we're already this close to D-Day (Disney Day, that is). Coaching cheerleading this summer has certainly made the days go more quickly.

This week DD and I have gone shopping for our travel sized items like toothpaste, hairspray, and toiletry containers so we don't have to take all our full size stuff. I also got our new Mickey luggage out and it's ready to be packed. Now I'm just trying to figure out what I can actually pack this far in advance. My packing list is done and printed with each suitcase having it's own list (Tara's checked luggage, Tara's carry-on, diaper bag, DH's checked, etc.).

We still need to go to Babies R Us and get a stroller cover for those Florida showers. That's on my to do list for this weekend as well as ordering Halloween costumes for MNSSHP.

Our MNSSHP tickets and travel documents came in the mail about a week ago and I'm waiting on our ME tags still since we just booked our flights last weekend.

Is that enough Pre-TR info for now?

Are you celebrating your daughters birthday while you're there? How fun that will be.

cowanfamily · 08-21-2009

No, what about your ADRs...and where are you staying? We need more info!!

**cinderbella** · 08-21-2009

Was your DD born on October 7th?!?!
I remember we were wedding date twins..that is awesome if she was actually born on your anniversary!

Yay! A new trip to follow! Definitely keep us all updated on your plans.

By the way, your DD is precious!

TaraRae82 · 08-22-2009

Oops! Yes, I did leave out quite a bit, huh? Haha! Ok, let's try this again....

Players:

DH: Ryan, 29
Me: Tara, 27
DD: Alexandra (Ally Rae), 11mo (when we travel)

Yes, Ally was born on our 2nd anniversary!!! Oct. 7. It was quite a shock as she was 10 days before her EDD. We had dinner reservations! We obviously didn't make them.

We're celebrating Ally Rae's first trip, our wedding anniversary, and Ally's birthday. Big trip! We're also getting Ally's first haircut at the Main St. Barber Shop. I cannot wait! (Thanks MissyMouse, we think she's a keeper too!)

We're staying at Wilderness Lodge which is new for DH and I've stayed there once as a teen. We'll be there for 8 nights and then DH heads home and Ally and I get to stay because my Dad, step mom, and sis arrive on that day! We're on their vacation package for an additional 6 nights. That means 14 nights in the World! Free DDP. ADR's are as follows:

Day 1: Kouzzina
Day 2: Sanaa
Day 3: Kona Cafe (and MNSSHP!)
Day 4: Teppan Edo
Day 5: Fulton's Crab House (OOP)
Day 6: Chef Mickey's
Day 7: Captain's Grille
Day 8: Le Cellier
Day 9: 1900 Park Fare (breakfast)

Days 10-15 are being planned by my step mom and sister and those ADR's are:

Day 10: Captain's Grille
Day 11: Coral Reef
Day 12: Les Chef's de France
Day 13: San Angel Inn
Day 14: Mama Melrose
Day 15: no TS

I'm sure I'll be back to update later today or maybe tomorrow. Gotta go get started on pricing for the garage sale we're having to get the $400 so Ally and I can stay for the extra 6 nights!

LittleMissMagic · 08-22-2009

Oooh, great ADRs! Can't wait to read your review on Kouzzina!

cowanfamily · 08-22-2009

That's better!

What are you dressing as for the Halloween party? The baby?

Sounds like you all like many of the same places we do...we are staying 12 nights, and have much the same schedule.

Sounds like a GREAT trip! Have a super time!

TaraRae82 · 08-22-2009

I'm dressing as Snow White and Ally Rae will be either Aurora or Belle. I haven't decided which one yet. I ordered the Aurora costume so we'll see how it looks when it gets here. DH is undecided on his costume but I'm making him decide today so I can order it with mine.

MickeyEars · 08-22-2009

Sounds like an awesome trip, with some delicious dining planned. Have fun!

Good luck with the garage sale.

TaraRae82 · 08-23-2009

DH and I sorted through/dusted off all the stuff for our garage sale yesterday. I started pricing and my sis is coming over today to help price. Now to get DD down for a nap so I won't have little hands helping! Mobile 10mo olds + basement = not good. She's a stair climber and is in to EVERYTHING. I also need to figure out what the heck I'm going to set all the for sale stuff up on. We don't own any long tables or anything so I'm going to have to get creative.

If I could get everything priced today I'd be thrilled. I won't have time Mon and Tues and the sale starts Thursday. We'll be getting Garage Sale signs when we do our weekly shopping today so those will be put up on probably Tues to advertise.

I'm planning to spend any free time I have on Wed doing some packing of things we won't be using between now and D-Day.

TaraRae82 · 08-23-2009

All of the pricing is done for the "I wanna stay for another 6 nights in the Happiest Place on Earth!" garage sale. YES! There's so much stuff, this sale is going to be a success...I just know it! (at least I hope I know it...) $400, $400, $400...(chant along if you feel so inclined)

MomBee · 08-23-2009

$400, $400, $400... I hope it all works out for you!!!!

dac921 · 08-24-2009

TaraRae... what are you exact dates... MissSmig and I will be there around the same time
