My 16 year old Sister Nicole- (who will probably be referred to as Nikki for the duration of this ptr aswell as the actual tr) A huge lover of everything Disney, especially wishes, but wants nothing to do with all the planning. Shes the 'i want to be in the moment' kinda girl
My Younger sister Aisling- (its an Irish name pronounced 'ashling')

DH and I love watching Youtube vids and reading trip reports before going too! Oct/Nov are my favorite months to visit because the Halloween decor is up and the weather is nice. Hope you all have a fun trip! Look forward to your post trip report

Your excitement is so contagious! We don't have anything planned just yet, but we are looking at the summer of 2015 for something ... unless we can get a cruise deal before then!

I love your countdowns too -- they remind me of my DS who's 10 and a Disney nerd in the making! He has counted down our trips for the last several years on his marker board. I love it! People need to have something happy and exciting to look forward to, and for us that's vacation!

I can't wait to hear more from you and your families plans and exploits ...

We're into the final stretch! Just 49 days to go! School started up again today so I'm hoping that will keep me busy for these last couple of months however, I'm still spending most of my time reading tr's on here Im very into photography and so just ordered a new wide angle lens to take with me on our trip, hoping to get lots of decent pictures to include in my tr Apart from that, nothing really much has happened since my last update... My next update will probably be about our fastpass+ options so fingers crossed we get the fastpasses we want! Hope you're all well and enjoying the last few days of summer!

ATTENTION LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE ARE NOW AT THE 10 DAY MARK! 10 DAYS!!!! If you hadn't guessed already, I'm a little bit excited......ok a lot..... All our fastpasses are booked and ready to go:
Oct 23rd) MAGIC KINGDOM - we chose the 3 mountains (sdmt had already all gone)
Oct 27th) HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS - TOT, ST, TSMM
Oct 28th) EPCOT - Soarin', spaceship earth, mission space
Oct 29th) MAGIC KINGDOM - the 3 mountains.....again :')
Oct 31st) ANIMAL KINGDOM - KS, KRR, EE
Nov 1st) Epcot - Soarin' Mission space and spaceship earth.....again
Nov 2nd) MAGIC KINGDOM - the mountains.....for a third time....

So there they are! Of course things will probably change once we get there but I'm not too worried about that! The dates where I haven't put fast passes are because we'll be in other non-Disney parks (SHOCK HORROR ) There are also repeats of some rides and that's because they're our must do's and the ones we like the best. We're still going to go on most of the other rides in the parks but its nice to know that your favorites are guaranteed

So there ya have it! Our Orlando holiday is all planned out and I've got nothing left on my 'to do' list. One thing I would appreciate from you guys though is this. After I joined these forums and started nosing around a bit, I realized that there was more to Disney world snacks than just a Mickey bar! I would really appreciate it if you guys could recommend your favorite snacks so I could try them in the parks! Thanks guys! Hope your all well! See ya real soon!
