Wedding?

Another $100 on the 3rd card making $2700! :D

AND...we're seriously thinking about getting married in Florida! :D

It's fairly cheap and easy to arrange and what can beat getting married on a gorgeous white sand beach?

The only downside to that is there will be no guests BUT there's nothing stopping us having a big party when we get back! :D

ADR's all booked!

Since my last post I've booked 'Ohana for dinner at 6:35pm on the 20th so we can eat a fantastic meal in a stunning location, then watch the fireworks from the beach :D

Then it's Sanaa on the 21st at 6:45pm, still light enough to see all the animals and this is one for Ben and his spicy pallette!

And finally on the 22nd, we'll be spending our day in Epcot, eating lunch at 11:35am at the hard to get Le Cellier!

And Dinner at 6:30pm at the rotating Garden Grill :D

I've also topped up one of my cards by $100 making $2600 total!

Now my ADR's are booked I can update my check list and start saving for spending money again!

Booked Mama Melrose for lunch on the 19th!

Yay!

Charlie's passport is here! So cute!

So his ESTA and API is now done :D Just Ben's to go now, his should be back soon too :D

I also booked 'Ohana for breakfast on the 13th at 9:30am, the morning before our Cali Grill reservation. It was brilliant last time so wanted to do it again :D

I'm also looking into booking it as a dinner too and watch the fireworks on the beach :D

Teppan Edo!

Tepan Edo in, in the Japan pavilion in Epcot, booked for 6:30pm on the 15th!

4 ADR's now booked!

Our first full morning we'll be having breakfast in Cinderella's Castle!

Later in the evening we'll make out way to the Coral Reef restaurant in Epcot...

The next evening we'll have dinner in California Grill in the Contemporary resort with a fantastic view of magic Kingdom and at 9pm we'll be able to watch Wishes from the private viewing area.

The next Day we'll have dinner at Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge! :D

California Grill!

Got California Grill in the Contemporary resort booked for the 13th at 7:30pm.

This means we'll be finishing dinner just as the fireworks show above the Castle, Wishes, starts! There's a private viewing area for anyone eating at California Grill so we should get a fantastic view without the crowds :D

ADR day!

I've managed to book Cinderella's Royal Table for 9:35am on the 12th, our first morning there :D

I also booked Coral Reef again for 5:40pm for dinner. We might be doing more park hopping this time, it means less limitations :D

I've had to pay in advance for CRT ($176!! :O Although that is including tips) so my balance went down on one of my card, which I've now topped up with $71 odd making. So I'll add another $96 at my next top up which will bring it back to $1000 on that card! :D

I've had to change my first day from DHS to MK and swapped them. Now to get another booked tomorrow! :D

A few updates...

Charlie and Ben's passports are now both sent off, so we're just waiting for them to come back so we can do ESTA's and API's...

Boostapaks are both here and they're fab! To0 big to use as school backpacks and park backpacks I think but perfect for car seats and hand luggage :D

Another $100 on my 3rd card! Making $2500 total so far :D

And ADR day is on Saturday! I have less than 2 days to sort out which ones I want!

Boostpaks!

Well we needed back packs for the kids in the parks, we needed booster seats for the car since we're driving this year, and we needed a bag each for them to take on their plane as they get a luggage allowance too so no point wasting it.

This would cost a fortune normally with 3 children! But I've just found boostapak!

It's a back pack cross car seat cross hold on luggage!

I've just bought Cameron a green one and Alyssa a pink one! Charlie will still need a proper car seat, not just a booster, but this also means we can get rid of their normal ones (big and heavy and take up so much space!) in our car and they can use these for their every day car seats and school lunch bag too!

It should be more room in the car and less hassle getting the kids in and out the car with all their stuff every morning!

3rd card!

Another card ordered which will have $100 on it, making $2400 total so far!! :D

I've also made a good start on the kids' surprise DVD!

NOT finished, but this is about 2/3rds of it. It shows adverts of some of the things we'll be doing so they'll think it's just the beginning of a normal DVD. There there's an emergency announcement!

It'll be show after we get a (fake) phone call from the school telling them there's an electrical fault and school won't be open until 12pm. They'll be sent to get their uniforms off again and watch a DVD to pass the time...:D

The actual reveal bit is where I'm a bit stuck. I think after this I'll add some video clips of the kids (which will shock the when they're watching, wondering why they're on TV!) and have some sort of voice over on it...

It'll come to me soon no doubt!

Click on the link to see the youtube video! :D

Passport done!

Luckily we had the full part of Charlie's birth certificate so it's all been checked, paid for and sent!

It should be here in a couple of weeks time :D

The post office lady will also sign Ben's so that saves a problem :D

And Octobers hours are out, officially, so I've planned some ADR's, got a few more to look at and add. I've got to remember we're offsite this time so it'll be cheaper buying food from Walmart or ordering from Garden Grocer, meaning we don't need to eat out every night. We'll be in Kissimmee too and I really want to re-visit Old Town so we can eat there too :D

Another $100 added to my second card. My next load will have to be a new card, $1000 on each now and I really don't want to go any higher than that on any one card!

Blimmin passport!

Charlie's passport has come back as we hadn't put the correct birth certificate in! So need to get the proper one and send it again!

Another $100 on one card, the maximum I want on it now, $1000. $900 on the other card and $300 cash making $2200!! :D
