You are not alone with the overpacking thing. Like you, this time I SWEAR I will take just what I will need! I swear!Belle1082 wrote:4 days!!!!! Suitcase is out and laundry is done but haven't started packing yet. Even though I saw this every trip, this time I really mean it that I want to TRY to only bring what I need and NOT overpack! ha I always try to plan outfits, etc, but I always seem to pack way more than I need! But i'm still gonna try! lollaurie5658 wrote:EIGHT DAYS!!!!!!!!!! That is ONE WEEK from TOMORROW, people!!!!!! Giddy as all get out!!!!!!!

11 weeks until our grown-up trip to WDW!
We'll be staying at Kidani Village in a savannah view room. The only thing left to buy are park tickets...something we'll probably need to do soon since FP+ will be our only way to get FP in January.

Re: I have only ......... days/months till I go again.
Pretty sure I'm two days away and I STILL haven't started packing yet!!! I did my target run and most of my laundry, but have to get my butt in gear and get organized! How is it that I'm leaving in 2 days?!?!laurie5658 wrote:You had better be getting ready!!!!Belle1082 wrote:3 days....how can it be so close?!?! I'm not ready!

The weather is looking decent for next week -- anything is better than this cold in MN -- and hopefully the crowds won't be too crazy!

Re: I have only ......... days/months till I go again.
Yes...we were able to find someone we could rent a few points from since it's a quick trip. I was able to get roundtrip flights for free using points...and saved a little over $1,000 by renting DVC points for the room...for a total savings of about $1,500! Not too bad. Now if only the park passes weren't so darn expensive!Amy wrote:Yay! Is Kidani Village a DVC then?theBIGyowski wrote:11 weeks until our grown-up trip to WDW!

Re: I have only ......... days/months till I go again.
Close in the fact that I pretty much have everything I need and everything is clean and ready to go....just have to decide what I'm brining, put it in the suitcase and HOPEFULLY not bring too much. haha Fat chance of that happening!laurie5658 wrote:How close are you getting to finishing up packing?

It's always tricky for me to know what to pack when I'm currently in like 40* weather and am going to 70's and 80's. It's like I completely forget what that weather feels like and what I should wear! lol
Plus, it seems to me that it can be pretty warm during the day and cool down at night, so I like to pack warm and cool clothes!

Re: I have only ......... days/months till I go again.
It appears that the temps may be in the 80's when we are there so I need to figure all of that out. Oh the joys of living in the upper Midwest (western Illinois).

As the temps went down here in Mass, I stopped putting the shorts and such in the dresser drawers and put them in the vacation pile! 16 days left for me. Have fun guys!!

Re: I have only ......... days/months till I go again.
Nice! I haven't done much investigating into DL tickets yet. I know the Club 33 lunch day is going to be expensive since we will need tickets for that day, and from the sounds of things, my one brother will be leaving right after lunch to fly back home because he has to work the next morningtheBIGyowski wrote:Yes...we were able to find someone we could rent a few points from since it's a quick trip.
