The official pre-trip report part deux

[Dawn]

I may be starting to get a little teensy bit excited.

I went out today to buy Steven's birthday presents and also bought some holiday clothes. :mental:

We all have passports now so I can do the ESTA stuff. I do that yes? Who does the API stuff - me again?

All the bits and pieces stuff is booked and paid for. Just the flights and car hire that needs paying by 70 days out.

I think I may be going to Disney World. Where's the Wall E planning notebook. I need lists. :thumbsup:

[daveann]

have you got the cases out yet though :)

[Dawn]

Not actually out but have been discussing with Adrian the possibility of us cramming our stuff into 1 case on the way out and taking 2 empties with us. :lol:

Need to confirm with travel agent exactly what our baggage allowance is.

[Britchick]

ha, was thinking you must be getting excited now. It's only 20 weeks till i can book flights and you'll be there then!

[Dawn]

Have just watched the planning DVD with Steven. If he gets his way we'll be spending two weeks at Typhoon Lagoon. :lol:

[Dawn]

Took him swimming today to one of those pools with all the splashy bits and he said it was just like a practise for Typhoon Lagoon.

I'm doomed to 2 weeks on the lazy river. :rotfl:

[Tinkfan]

:wave: TL is a favorite with our boy too. Just think how hot it will be when you're there!! i love the parks at night best of all any way lol!

[Johnie]

You'll probably want to be at Typhoon Lagoon in August!

[Dawn]

[Dawn]

Thanks, will check that out. We normally use Tesco stuff but they don't do a waterproof version.

[Dawn]

how exciting :wiggle:

[Skywatcher]

we always ued no ad ( :unsure: ) I think it was called it didn't make the kids explode into rashes and was dead cheap as they didn't do any adveritising - haven't seen it for a while now.

The boys loved the waterparks sooooo much , ours preferred Blizzard beach, which was lucky as it was the only one open

The holiday planning DVD's are banned at the moment :nono: as Matthews head would virtually come off with yearning. We had a major hissy last night because I told him we weren't going to adopt an Amur leopard.

So excited for you

Do you have a countdown anywhere in the house - we usually have one chalked up somewhere in a mickey head and the boys take turns at dropping it down each day - like the ultimate advent calendar

[Britchick]

I asked to adopt a leopard last night too .....

[Skywatcher]

Can't remember which channel it was on, naughty ad people pulling at the heart strings, Thomaws was nearly in tears as well :nono:

[Britchick]

Mine was on scifi channel.....only £3 per month.....

[Dawn]

It's polar bear adoption drive in our house. :sigh:

Think I'm going with this one. Not the cheapest but will give 3 hours water resistance so won't have to stop Steven every hour to lather him up again.

[Skywatcher]

We always have to buy a tinyone first as both the boys seeem to react to suncream , after 2 days in tenerife with a supposed kids suncream Matthews face had ballooned - poor kid

[Dawn]

I'll test Steven before we go. He's fine with the Tesco brand but they don't do a water resistant one.

Took Steven and Harry to an indoor play centre yesterday. While they were off playing me and Nanny Lesley sat planning itineraries. :mental:

Hmn be careful Soltan stains whites yellow :( so no wearing good t shirts with that one on. Plus it can be itchy if you're a wee bit sensitive. One of my kids is super sensitive to suncreams and unfortunately the ONLY one she can wear on her face is Piz Buin, yep the expensive one :( All others make her itch.
