January Disney Trip – What’s done, and what’s left!

Would you believe that yesterday marks exactly 8 weeks until Dad and I leave for Florida, kick-starting our awesome RunDisney tour of Walt Disney World and Disneyland California? Well I can’t! I’m beyond excited; its so close I can practically taste the Mickey waffles!

to do

Being in the last stages of preparing, there’s been lots to do these last few weeks, so this is where we are:

• Our WDW stay has been 100% paid off

• We’ve checked into our hotel online, and personalised our Magic Bands

• We did our ADRs at the 180 day mark, so they’ve been long sorted, but last week I had the nasty early morning alarm to book our Fastpasses!

• We’ve booked our spot on the Magical Express

• Our coaches both to and from the airport are sorted

• I’ve got two out of four running costumes ready

We do, however, still have a few things left to do:

• Pay the final balance of our California booking

• Get our American visas – kinda super important!

• Dining reservations for California, as they can’t be made until 60 days prior

• Sort out car hire in California

• Get packing!

We’ve only got 55 days to wait! Do you have any Disney trip preparation rituals?

4 weeks to go!

YAYAYAYAY!

4 weeks is so soon!

Eeek!

So here’s what we’ve got done in preparation for our trip this week:

1. American visas – sorted!

2. Magic bands customised for some of us – because of the size of our group, we’re on two separate bookings, so we just need to link those on My Disney Experience and we’ll be on our way!

3. Flights confirmed, and we’ve signed up for Virgin Flying Club.

4. Alterations to dining reservations made – we had a member of our group pull out of the trip and were unsure how to amend this, but when we called Disney they said that other than a few restaurants, it doesn’t matter if one less person shows as our table size would still be the same, but I don’t know if this would be the case for everyone.

5. Airport parking booked!
