Wow, that's a lot of envelopes. You are not there for that many nights, are you? And SO colorfully Fallish. Love it. The bar is raised. Where did you guys find those stickers?

Yeah I wish we were there that long. No, some of those are for our favorite valet's. She got the stickers at Wal-Mart.
This picture has better color, they are Mickey red and yellow.

Good luck.

They of course were awesome about everything......They said depending on which cast member we get when we trade them in some would just let it slide...but they said to be on the safe side we just need to go online and have one of her bills mailed to our house and take it with us and that would be fine.....They also said if there were any issues they would be able to switch it over to a normal pass for her and they would refund her the difference.

Yes, Jeff, I too am "stealing" this idea for my upcoming trips. Gotta get some of those stickers. And how cool is it to go often enough to have a "favorite valet?" We are some lucky folks. Or perhaps we just prioritize.

Glad to hear it worked out, that would have been a major bummer!

Adorable mousekeeping enevelopes, Scrappy!

Steal away, steal away! Yes Doc, "Prioritize". WDW is the only thing we spoil ourselves on, and the only place we go on vacation. We bring friend sometimes, and family (once), but yes when we go to WDW we are spoiled and I'm not ashamed to say. We save and save and save for our trips.

I do the same...save, save. Disney is worth every penny of that saving. I do indeed make Disney a priority now - and go as often as I can possibly swing. I think we are on the same page!

My only complaint about it is why would Disney ever even consider putting it's a small world as their hold music....And it felt like i was on hold forever.

Disney is our only vacation we ever take. We have talked about maybe going somewhere else, but we go back to Disney. Even though our last trips were bad or down right miserable we still found them magical. One of our trips we were there for 10 days and only got 3 days out of the room because we were so sick. This year we are hoping for a truly magical vacation. NO ILLNESSES, good health, and some good weather would be nice this trip.

I am going to improve my envelope system after seeing these.

I have decided that I am not going to wait 5 years between trips. I will start saving as soon as I return from my trip so that I can go again in 2014.

So true! We got POC music last time I called and I was very grateful!

We are finally down to single digit day!!! Now if only our grandson would hurry up and arrive before we leave. Our children seem to have a "thing" about having babies right around our trips! I am sure most of you remember we had to change our April trip to May due to our grand daughter being due the week we were to be on vacation. Then we did end up missing the Christening in May.

Okay, it's 7 days before we leave for WDW

Still no Mickey Mail

I called last week and here's the scoop:
1) If you book a room only (to get the best discount) & 2) don't purchase a meal plan (because you have Tables in Wonderland) & 3) your not using Magical Express (because you drive to WDW), YOU DON'T GET ANY FREAKING MICKEY MAIL!

The cast member i talked to was really nice about it, and even said he would see what he could do , and would try and have something sent, but I don't think it's going to happen................................. ho hum........................nobody loves us.......................nobody cares.........................................

Okay, scrappy and I both got clogged ears, I have an ear ache, we've been fighting colds for over a week and yes by god I just want to feel sorry for myself and this really stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew! Got that out, now I feel a little bit better!

Now I have to go to the doctor.

You should be over it in 7 days. You will have it done and out of the way before you leave

Better at home then Disney anyways. Home is the best place when you don't feel good.

At least your germs were considerate and attacked before you left.

Get better soon - no sickness allowed at WDW.

So I have never received Mickey Mail, because I have stayed off property. But when I stay DVC, will I get it? That would be so fun. Little things are just about as exciting as big things when it comes to Disney.

Sorry doc, no Mickey mail when you stay DVC either. You will get a letter confirming your reservation but they are not as colorful or fun as regular Mickey mail. That will also come right after you make your reservations. However, they have now started sending a cute thank you note after you get home. Our last DVC stay was the first time we got one when staying DVC.

You are now at that wonderful ONE day to go mark!!!
We are now at 6 days before we leave and still waiting for the baby.
