November 2017: Dad's Dazzling 60th Birthday trip *here now! Updated with Instagram*

Our first set of Magic Bands arrived! I'll have to post some cute pictures of my cat wearing mine, once I figure out how to while I'm at work

So, like I said, we got our first Magic Bands. For fun I put them on my cats. Leia was NOT having it so I didn't really get a picture. Merida was like "eh, whatever, guess this is my new collar"

The rest of our Magic Bands arrived!

I still need to add our Magical Express, place a Garden Grocer order, book a spa appointment for my brother and his girlfriend, and add a reservation note that we're celebrating my Dad's 60th birthday and (next year's) retirement.

FIVE DAYS!

I just called and confirmed our Illuminations cruise, I kept putting it off because I was afraid I had somehow booked the wrong thing, but we're all good! And the CM I spoke to at the marina was so nice and helpful. Sometime soon I'll call in-room dining and order some drinks for the cruise.

So now there's just 3 nights of work left, and 2 days of prepping. I think I'm going to dye my hair brown before the trip, but I'm a little nervous about that. Anyway, have a hair appointment at 1 pm on Friday so wish me luck! And I'll need to clean my apartment, get my cats all set up, go to Target for last minute essentials (and nonessentials, let's be real), and pack the suitcase! I need to be all ready by the 29th because I won't have time on the days I work.

Just thought I'd share my trip report link! Took TONS of pictures and experienced lots of firsts so it should be pretty interesting (I hope): https://www.disboards.com/threads/m...y-november-adventure-2-updates-11-18.3648384/
