Are we going to be down there at the same time?

DW and I will be there 9/3-9/5...but only spending one day in a park (Epcot on 9/4).

I think we are, but we will be there from very late on 9/4 through the 8th. We don't get in until 11pm or something.
Looks like you are leaving on our first park day.
:(

You leave early on the 5th?

yeah we are eating breakfast at the Poly and then heading back home

super quick trip for our 5th Anniversary (honeymooned at WDW in 2010)

I never thought I would buy a single day park ticket...because it seems like a waste of money...but I'll be darned if that isn't what we're doing for this trip.

Bummer y'all won't be able to meet up this time around...unless H and his lovely wife are eating at the Poly for breakfast that same day!
BIG, I hear you on the price of a single day ticket, but it will be so much fun for you and your lovely wife to be able to spend your anniversary where you honeymooned! And knowing that you will be heading back fairly soon with both kids gives you something new to look forward to as well! :D

Yeah, we're saving the extra money (since it's a short trip) for a big family trip planned for December of 2016. We'll be bringing the kids down for that one.

Of course that trip requires us to buy a van to take us down there too. Maybe I should start a GoFundMe for this... ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've seen for a fund-raising page request. I'm guessing the van will be useful for more than just the WDW trip though ~ hope you find a nice one by then :D

I've thought about what color I would choose, but since we don't have any plans in the works, I haven't committed to one yet. I think I'm going to have a hard time choosing one when the time comes! If purple is available when we go, Figment will choose that one for sure!

20 days to go until WDW... Less than three weeks!

(And because of the bank holiday on Monday and the fact I've got Tuesday and Wednesday off, I've only got 10 work days left to go!)

Oh, and 80 days until DLP.

If purple had been available, I'd have gotten a third one. :) The orange won't go with all my outfits, but that's what bandits are for, am I right?

Sure! Although my current pair of shoes are sort of a hot fuchsia and rarely match anything I wear so I might be the wrong one to ask ;) :lol:

I wish the character and special Magic Bands weren't so expensive...or that they could be purchased as an "upgrade". So instead of you paying $20-$30 for a special Magic Band...you pay maybe $10-$15 to upgrade. I think this would actually make Disney more money since they'd get people paying for the special ones instead of opting for the "free" ones. I have to think this is something that will happen eventually.

Anyhow...we are only 3 days away from being at MCO and on our way to DME!

Packing starts tonight...as well as packing for our kids so they can stay with grandparents. Sadly, it will take more energy and effort to pack our kids' stuff for them to stay a few miles away than to pack DW and myself up for a trip to WDW.
