Changes, Changes, and More Changes

OK, I'm ready to pull my hair out. What was originally just myself, DH, our 2 boys, my mother and her fiance, is now our original 6 plus my sisters, oldest sister's 3 kids, oldest sister's best friend and her 3 girls, the fiance's sister and her hubby, plus 4 kids. On top of that my grandma, aunt, and 2 cousins will be joining for 2 full days. 

Now if that is not scary enough I have been asked to come up with Itineraries for several different sub-groups.

We are going to have our Commandos - myself, DH, our 2 boys, my youngest sister and our nephew who is the same age as my oldest son.

Next we have the Parents - my mom, her fiance, his sister and her hubby, (Granny and my Aunt will join in for part of two days of this trip)

Next group is the Girls - my oldest sister  and her 2 daughters with sister's friend and her 3 daughters. Oldest kid in this group is 7, youngest will be 2 at the time of the vacation.

Last groups are Tweens and Young Adults, they have said they know what they want to do just asked for ADRs made for them for a few places. We have a while to go before we can do this (161 more days in fact) so no worries there.

Well at least I know this all now and not 2 weeks out.....

I'll post more soon....
 

Vacation Planner

Well here we go. Watch out I've gone about plum loco... 300+ days to go and my planner is HUGE...

This is a 3" - 3 ring binder. I love it I bought it at back to school time and only paid about $2 for it. It has a zipper to keep everything inside and lots of extra pockets.

Now I haven't done much to decorating it but I will add to it as I go.

It will end up with pictures and captions. I found that my last one made a really cool keepsake after the trip was over.

I love iron on sheet that I can run through my printer only problem it once you iron them on to a dark surface it bleeds through. I guess I should have bought the ones for dark colors.

Oh well I still like it and that is all that matters.

Next pictures are of my inserts...

Like I said I have gone a might bit crazy with it. LOL I can't wait to be able to make my ADRs. 

I'm going to go stir crazy before our trip gets here.

Next Update....???

Oct 1,... 348 days and counting....

Just a little update here. I have been obsessively pouring over forums (especially the Dis). Checking, rechecking, figuring and reconfiguring.

I have it down to a couple different options and just have to commit to one of them. I am trying to wait and see what my end of the year bonus is going to look like. Keeping fingers crossed.

Here are the options I have come up with...

Consistent with all options - 8 nights, 5 day Disney Tix, 2-3 day Universal Tix, MNSSHP Tix

1.   Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside,  water view,    W/  DxDDP

2.   Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort - Pirate Standard,  W/  DxDDP

3.   Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort - Standard,  W/ DxDDP

4.   Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort - Club level,  W/ DDP

I would love to get a Pin or some special like FD. With the way my boys eat I could really use the DxDDP and it would help. But a 40% off room would be great too. 35% off vs FD then FD would be my better bet. 

I have us figured with no specials though.
 
I will have to make a decision soon for my quotes will not be valid for much longer. 


Next Update will be my Planner......
