Customs and More

In between advanced dining reservations and fastpass+ selection, there is quite a bit of waiting lol. Once you get your dining reservations done I would suggest starting to order any custom made shirts you would like. I dropped the ball on this part of my planning. I did manage to get one custom shirt for our trip, but I plan to do much better our second trip. I used Etsy to find shirts I liked and then favorited them so I could easily find them. Part of the reason I ended up dropping the ball on custom shirts is because I thought closer to our trip there would be more Christmas Disney shirts...I was wrong. If you are new to ordering custom shirts, especially on Etsy, it can take a minimum of 6 weeks just to ship. I do plan to show more detail of things once we get back, so with that said I will not be posting a picture of the shirt I got for Maddy.

The next thing I had to figure out was the stroller situation. Maddy is tall for her age, and has outgrown all of her strollers. I searched for a stroller that could accommodate her height and weight for what seemed like forever. I did find some online, but they were all around $250. I am not paying that much money for a one time use. I ended up going with a rental company in Florida that carried a stroller that met our needs. For the stroller and insurance it was just a little over $100 for our entire stay. They even give you the option of getting a cooler and rain cover for free. They deliver to Disney resorts, so it is there waiting on you when you arrive and at the end of your trip you take it to the hotel bell stand and they will come and pick it back up. I will also be updating on this once we get back and will give you more details of the company I used and will give my review.

I am hoping to do a what I packed video soon, but if I don't get to make it before we go I will either do one when we get back or just talk briefly in a post what we took. Once you make it to this point all you can really do is wait. You can start making lists of things you may need to do or get prior to your vacation.
