Disney World 2016: Creating a Disney Vacation Binder!
มุมมอง 4.7K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I show you my Vacation Binder for our upcoming Disney World 2016 vacation!
My turning ten year old is having a pappy party to!
It has changed even more now. I completely miss the Dining Plans... This is very fun to watch, had to subscribe
Thanks for watching! It is sad how much Disney has changed the past few years. :-(
Hi, where did you buy the bone-water bottle
Hi, those were from Oriental Trading website. Have a great day!
hi
my sister had a pup party !!
It was SUCH a fun party. Thanks for watching! :-)
Dogs can’t eat chocolate or gold fish chocolate can kill them and goldfish as well
Thank you, I do know that. Good thing, it was 5 year old boys and girls eating the chocolate and goldfish. :-) Thanks for watching! April
Life on the Lake with April I I thought it was a party for real dogs 😂
Ha ha ha! That's too funny! ;-)
we packed a ton of snacks too! my daughter eats a small amount but very often, so instead of wasting alot of money on snacks <we were on the dining plan, too> we took a gallon sized bag with us each day. it saved our butts from hunger and a cranky child, lol!!
My kids are the same. They snack quite often! Thank you for watching! :-)
My mom always says "your way to early were going in 2 months " we really are i say "every time we go somewhere one of u guys forget something and that not gonna be me because I had 2 months to remeber"
Exactly! This is probably the first trip I literally did not forget anything!
Thanks for the tips, can't wait till August!💖
You're welcome, @nicoleskey! You will have an absolute blast!!! I want to go back so bad. :-)
Thank you, I can't wait till August!💖
Thanks so much for watching, Nicole! :-)
Amazing party ideas! love the adopt a puppy! where did you find the bone shaped bottles? I love decorating for parties too! New subscriber, come on over and visit me on my channel and if you could please subscribe back that would be fantastic! TFS
Hi,Crafty Kitty! Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your kind words. :-) I got the bone-shaped water bottles from Oriental Trading! Heading on over to subscribe to your channel now. -April
no afence but I would not over pack that much
To each his own! For my family, it wasn't over-packing. We used what we packed. Thanks for watching, Andrew! :-) -April
We are leaving to Disney in two days.. Thanks for the tips
@Mom's Real Food...I hope you are having an AMAZING trip!! Thanks for watching. :-) -April
did they let you take shampoo and conditioner on the plane... please respond back
Hi Cindy, I packed our shampoo and conditioner in checked luggage. I didn't bring any on the plane.
I always pack well if we are going in the afternoon I will pack in the morning,if we are leaving in the morning I pack the night before
ummm.... icouldnt help but notice that ur camera lens or just ur camera has really bad shotsps get a new camera
Gee, thanks for the tip. It was taken with my iPhone as my camera cord was missing at that time.
this helps me so much with my binder!
Oh I'm so glad you found this helpful, Sharie! I can't wait to hear about your trip when you go. :-) I love to live vicariously though everyone else until I can go back to Disney! LOL
Im going to disney here in a few months, do u recommend cubes or bags?
Hi Sharie! I actually liked using both. The plastic gallon ziploc bags worked great for packed outfits per day, for the kids (whole outfit: shorts, shirt, undies, socks). Each day I just pulled out the whole bag for each child (I labeled them the day and park since I wanted them to wear specific things to each park). And I used the cubes for myself and hubby since we like to have a selection of shirts/shorts to choose from as opposed to a specific outfit (and I don't own a lot of shorts so I had to re-wear certain pairs. I intend to pack the same way for our next vacation. :-) Thanks for watching and commenting! :-) -April
Life on the Lake with April thank u so much for replying. This was a big help
I think you said you had a reservation at Be Our Guest on a day you were spending at your resort. Were you allowed to eat there without a park ticket that day? Maybe I misunderstood you. I thought you had to have a park ticket to eat at a restaurant inside the park.
Hi Meredith! We had a 7 day park hopper pass (our trip was 8 days/7 nights). We went to Be Our Guest for dinner then did a couple of rides afterwards. My plan was to take the kids to see an electrical parade or fireworks or something fun at night but they were just so exhausted by night they only wanted to go back to resort to sleep. :-( Thank you so much for watching!
I love that you packed 29 days out! I'm 34 days out now and want to pack so badly! I'm a planner too and just want to make sure that I have everything I need. Thanks for this video!
I found packing so far in advance helped me immensely! I didn't forget anything, and if I needed anything as i packed, I still had plenty of time to go purchase it! I'm excited for you and your trip. I want to go back so bad!
Great video! makes me want to go to Disneyland!
I love Disney so much!!! <3 Thanks for watching.
I've been watching tons of Disneyland prep videos. Yours has been the best so far, very informative. Thanks for all the ideas, hope your trip was wonderful! -Megan Robertson
I actually saw a study of how well sunscreens work and that equate 50 spf was in the top 5.
After I made this video, I read that article too! I have to admit, with how crazy hot that sun was, not one of the four of us got a sunburn the whole 8 days we were there using the equate so I'll keep buying it. :-)
T REX is by far one of our favs! So glad you said hi. Love that pic
The pic came out so cute! Despite the fact it was hot as heck that day. LOL I'll be posting a link to your channel up above too. ;-)
What plane do you fly with ?
i am the same way. I would rather be an over packer and have everything then try not to be one and forget a bunch of stuff we need. I always say "better to have it and not need ot than to need it and not have it." 😊
Over packing worked out great for us, as we ended up changing clothes before dinner (most) nights, cuz we all were so sweaty and gross. I could have done laundry there, sure, but I was on vacation! No laundry! LOL
When you showed the bugs I literally threw up all over my key board, not something I've ever seen in a haul before.
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you had that reaction! I do buy all my pets food on shopping days, which includes the crickets I feed my bearded dragon. ;-)
Life on the Lake with April In context I would have just went ick and looked the other way but I was not expecting crawlers is a haul,
I like this video good stores to shop.
Thank you so much for watching!
That's so cute!
Thank you! My daughter absolutely loved it! :-)
Dang! She’s 9 now!
Ohhh--Aldi and Big lots - two of my favorite places!
Me toooooo! I don't get to Big Lots as much as I like but when I do, I can spend like 2 hours in that store. LOL
Wednesday is wen their get their fresh vegetables
Thanks for that tip! It's good to know since I usually shop there on Thursdays (and occasionally Fridays).
Hi April, I am a mom of two kiddos that are your kiddos age and we are preparing for our first WDW vacation for summer 2017. Your video is very helpful, but any more tips with a 5 and 7 year I would love to hear. Also, where did you get the maps? I want to include those in my binder as well. Great job.
Yay, that's awesome Kristen! And yes I actually want to do a vlog with tips for going with kids (around my kids ages anyway lol). I learned a lot this trip! One thing I can say for sure is PLAN FOR MID-DAY HOTEL ROOM breaks. I thought for sure we wouldn't need to break mid-day like people kept telling us before the trip...and we literally ended up needing to do it EVERY single day. Ha ha! Whether it was for naps (and my kids don't nap anymore, if that tells you anything!) or just cooling off in the a/c inl hotel room where the kids would play a little on their kindles while laying on the bed to rest. It was just what we needed. I planned all our dinners relatively early thinking we'd do as much park as possible, then dinner while there, then head back to swim in evening or something but it wasn't best course of action. Next time I will actually push dinner back a tad later, knowing we will have our break mid day to recharge a little bit (cuz after our break we ended up having to rush back to parks to get to a dinner reservation for like 5:5:30. The one night we had a dinner res for like 6;15 it worked out much better). Also, I got the maps from our Disney travel agent (who was AMAZING!!). I may have extras though, let me check! I tried grabbing them at each park. I'll check my stuff and let you know!
found maps here: allears.net/tp/map.htm
LOVED this! You guys all look so excited.
We were. LOL I think I was more excited then the entire family combined. Ha ha!
I am always that way too. Then the last few days I crash and burn and get a little cranky.
That is EXACTLY what happened. By our last day, we all couldn't WAIT to get home!
Yay!!! It's here!
Ha ha, yes, sorry it took so long! ;-)
Did he not pack his tooth paste and toothbrush
You should do a whats in my bag video... wallet, makeup, crickets LOL... New subbie here! Hugs~ Lea
Ha ha ha, that sounds right up my alley! Next vlog idea perhaps??? LOL Thank you SO much for subscribing!
Hey April I just wanted to know did you vlog in Disney world?
Hi Aaliyah! I didn't vlog constantly in Disney, however I did get some video footage from the trip! I have to just do some editing, but I promise I will be posting it soon. :-)
+Life on the Lake with April Okay great! Can't wait to see it. 😊
Loved it! Very cute!
Thank you, Carrie! And thanks for stopping by! -April :-)
Great Video!!! Follow my channel for the Best Family Vacation Resorts in Orlando!
What size zip lock bag did you use for your daughter's clothes?
I used gallon size ziplock bags for both kids. One outfit per bag, then I squeezed the air out of each bag before packing. :-)
we went for 2 weeks so we had to pack three suitcases it was really heavy
+David Ryder thankfully none of our suitcases was over 50 lbs. I think the heaviest came in at about 43 lbs. :-) Thanks so much for watching! -april
Of all the videos I've seen for packing and prep for Disney (which is probably a few hundred) these are my favorite! Keep em coming!
+emily dickinson Awww, thank you Emily! That is so nice to hear! I try to be very thorough when I'm packing and I think all our MANY camping trips helped with that. :-)! We are back from our amazing Disney trip and I've got iots of ideas for videos in the works. I will also be sharing some video from our trip! thanks for watching. -April
great video now I know what to bring cause I have 15 day til I go
+Tai-Chelle Anderson that is awesome! Is it crazy that I feel jealous? LOL I want to go back already! I'm creating a Disney savings account and already planning (in my head) what I want to do for the next trip. ;-) Have a fabulous time and let me know how it goes! :-) -APril
omg Joi Violette I'm going to Disney world at the end of may 2016 too
Me too 😊
we are deff buying the cubes what plan are u on we have delux we get two snacks a day pp
+Samantha Reed Hi Samantha! The packing cubes were awesome for the adult clothes! It made unpacking in the hotel SO easy. :-) We had the dining plan where you have 1 quick service, 1 table service and 1 snack a day per person. If it was just me and my hubby, that would be fine, but after going with the kids, it was kind of a waste. :-( Half the time they were so hot and sweaty and not super hungry so sometimes my littlest just wanted a drink and french fries. And my son is picky so some places he didn't want anything to eat. I learned a lot from this trip, that's for sure! Now, the other thing we decided on, is hubby and I are going to plan an adult only trip during the Food and Wine fest (not this year but hopefully next). This way we can eat and drink and stroll around to our hearts content! lol
Did you know that you can leave bags at guest relations at the parks? Or make a stop at your resort and leave the luggage with them? Enjoy your trip
+WayToSon that is what we ended up doing...we left the carry-on bags at the resort since our room wasn't ready and headed straight to a park! :-) Just got back yesterday and had a great trip. Thank you!
Yeahhhh.....so happy you had a great trip...
it is only 29 days intill i go to disney land
+Kayla Lopez That's awesome, Kayla! You must be so excited! :-) We leave in 3 days and I can hardly stand it. LOL
Thanks for sharing! I'm using packing cubes and big plastic packing bags too for our upcoming trip at the end of May! This gave me good ideas about snacks. We,are taking breakfast items like you are. Other stuff too. I see you'll be vloging? I'll keep an eye out for them! You all have,a fun time!!
+Joi Violette oh, I'm excited for you! I hope to do a follow up video after our trip to share how everything worked out for us (snacks, how we packed, etc). :-) I have to say, so far I'm loving the packing cubes. I plan on getting more to use them for packing when we go on trips in our camper. I can see it saving on so much space!
Inspired with your organization...:)
+maasquenada thanks so much!! We leave for Disney in about 19 days and this organization helped build the excitement for all of us. ;-)
+April C. yayy that's soooo exciting! Enjoy your trip! :)) I'm here waiting til midnight so I can hopefully get my Be Our Guest Dinner reservation, since I'll hit my 180-day mark for the second half of my split stay in October tonight! #fingerscrossed
+maasquenada Oh YAY! I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I am looking forward to our dinner there myself! LOL My daughter said she does NOT want to take her pic with the Beast, so it MAY just be me posing with him. LOL
+April C. OMG I would totally do the same! <3 I never tried this hard to get a reservation for dinner... had lunch there but I think its not the same... so excited to try dinner! I'll let you know :))
+April C. just an update: didn't get the Be Our Guest Dinner buuuuut got the Fairytale Dining Dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table :) YAAAY
Loving your videos, thanks for sharing :)
