Hello Disney lovers and welcome to our
0:02
world of Disney. My name is Heaven and I
0:04
am officially starting our trip prep.
0:06
Well, I actually started about a week
0:09
and a half ago, maybe two weeks ago. I
0:10
don't know. I always try to start pretty
0:12
early, about 60 days out. But for now,
0:14
we are officially 45 days out from our
0:17
next Disney World vacation. And so, I'm
0:19
going to be taking you guys along from
0:21
this point on, just showing you guys
0:22
like some of the things we do leading up
0:24
to our trip. Like, realistically,
0:26
especially traveling with little ones.
0:28
So, I have the girl here. And one thing
0:29
that we need to do before we travel is
0:33
get our TSA pre-check. So, we went ahead
0:38
online and filled out the application
0:39
for it. And now we have to go in person.
0:42
I think they just have you like take a
0:44
picture, they get your fingerprint and
0:46
maybe they send you the card in the mail
0:48
or something. I don't know because this
0:49
is our first time doing this. It was
0:52
okay when it was just like the three of
0:54
us, but now that it's four of us, we
0:56
kind of typically have like a lot of
0:58
stuff like our bags, our strollers, and
1:01
trying to like take our cameras, our
1:03
laptops, and all of that out of our
1:05
bags, as well as taking our shoes off,
1:06
our belts, the kids out of their
1:08
strollers, breaking the strollers down,
1:10
it makes going through TSA a little bit
1:13
like hectic. And considering we do
1:14
travel to Disney World a few times
1:16
throughout the year, we figured that it
1:18
might be worth it to just go ahead and
1:19
get the TSA pre-check. So, that is what
1:22
we're going to be going to do now. So,
1:25
I'm going to take you guys along with
1:26
me. I got everyone here ready so that we
1:29
can get in the car and it's about a
1:31
20-minut drive from us. For us, it's
1:33
just at like a Staples office store. So,
1:37
I anticipate because of that the process
1:39
really shouldn't be that difficult
1:40
considering it's just like at an office
1:42
store or whatever. Um, so we're just
1:45
going to go ahead and I'm going to take
1:47
you guys
1:49
along. Are you looking at the gaming
1:52
chairs?
1:57
The whole gang is here.
2:05
What does
2:09
separate means?
2:15
Separate.
2:17
What the separate means? Mhm. These are
2:20
some expensive packing cubes. Looking at
2:23
the packing cube. I'm right here. I want
2:25
to look at
2:29
Okay, just to show you. You put the car
2:31
seat.
2:48
How can we figure this out? I'm sure we
2:50
got to go up to the desk and let them
2:52
know. You want me to go?
2:59
They got all types of suitcases.
3:04
travel
3:13
toiletries. No red train.
3:18
So, you already did all of that, right?
3:21
Yeah. Welcome to Noah's red train.
3:28
Hi, my little truck.
3:34
Okay, guys. So, it's been a week since
3:35
we did our TSA pre-check and I just
3:37
checked last night. We still do not have
3:39
our number. Luckily, we are still a
3:40
little bit more than a month out from
3:42
our trip, so we have some time to get
3:43
it, but I'm very anxious and hope that
3:45
we get it really, really soon. The
3:46
process was very seamless. We just went
3:48
in there. We had to take our documents.
3:51
I had completely forgotten that I would
3:53
need my marriage certificate. But
3:55
luckily, I just grabbed like our whole
3:57
document envelope or folder that has all
4:00
of our stuff in it and instead of like
4:02
picking out just our birth certificates.
4:04
That way when we got there, luckily I
4:06
already have the marriage certificate
4:08
cuz I keep all of that stuff inside of
4:09
one folder. That's just a little tip. If
4:11
you're going to do TSA pre-check and you
4:13
only have your driver's license, but you
4:15
are married and you have um like your
4:18
maiden name on your original birth
4:20
certificate, you are going to need to
4:22
make sure you take your marriage
4:23
certificate, too. So, luckily, I had
4:24
that. So, you just show them your
4:26
driver's license with your matching
4:27
birth certificate and marriage license
4:29
if you need to have that as well. And
4:31
then they scan everything into the
4:33
computer. Um you sign it, they
4:36
fingerprint you, and you pay and they
4:39
take your picture. It's very simple. It
4:41
took us no time at all. We scheduled an
4:43
appointment like 2 days ahead of time.
4:45
Went in there and the entire process
4:48
maybe took about 15 minutes because it
4:50
was me and my husband doing it. So, it
4:52
was just so simple. And then they send
4:54
you an email confirmation and receipt.
4:56
You can just log in and you can just
4:57
track the status of it and it's pretty
5:00
simple. So, now that that is out the
5:01
way, let me just show you guys um it's
5:03
officially time to get into some more
5:05
prepping. So, half of this stuff is for
5:07
trip purposes and half of it is not. So,
5:09
for one, don't mind the tripods and
5:12
stuff. That is just how it goes when I'm
5:14
like filming content and stuff for this
5:16
channel, as well as my motherhood and
5:17
homemaking channel. The mess here is
5:19
what drives me insane. So, here is like
5:22
the newer suitcase that we have here
5:24
that is inside of my Disney shopping
5:27
haul that I got for my husband. This is
5:29
just an American tourist 28 in Mickey
5:32
Mouse suitcase that I found on sale for
5:34
$77. And then this is where I keep my
5:37
husband and I clothes that I picked out
5:39
for us to pack so that I can just keep
5:42
it all in one space and add things to it
5:46
as you know we go in preparation. And
5:49
this is where I keep all the other
5:50
little random things that we're going to
5:52
be packing like travel gear, park gear,
5:55
room gear, everything. Then over here I
5:57
got a bunch of packing stuff. So, like
5:58
packing cubes and toiletry bags and all
6:03
that stuff and stuff that I got for the
6:05
kids. I even got more up here and
6:08
cubbies. Like, it's a mess. I'm so
6:09
embarrassed for how bad it looks up
6:11
here, but like I just got stuff here in
6:13
these cubbies like clothes for the kids
6:15
and everything as well as like some in
6:18
this cubby here. There's just a lot of
6:20
like a lot of mess in here. So, needless
6:23
to say, I'm so ready to just go ahead
6:24
and get started with the packing because
6:26
I'm ready for this mess to be done with.
6:28
And I like to normally start packing
6:30
once we are 30 days out. And we are
6:32
close to that point. So, at this point,
6:35
I want to say we're five a week away
6:37
from the 30 days out mark or for the
6:39
from the four week out mark. So, um I
6:43
have to make sure I get I get everything
6:46
washed and then I can at least start
6:47
with our toiletries at the very least. I
6:50
can start there and make sure I get the
6:52
kid everything that's new washed. So,
6:54
that's what I'm going to be doing today.
6:55
Just going through maybe I'll begin
6:57
packing my toddler's things. And then
7:00
for baby girl, I'm going to take all of
7:01
her things off of like tags and stuff
7:04
and wash it and things like that so that
7:05
I can begin getting her things ready to
7:07
be packed. Everything like there's just
7:09
a lot of stuff that's new. So, that's
7:11
what I'm going to be doing today. Going
7:12
through all of this stuff that's new,
7:14
unpacking it, taking the tags off of it,
7:16
and just trying to get things a little
7:17
bit more organized.
7:21
Show me life. Show me
7:25
love. Make a
7:27
change. Time is up. We can wait for
7:31
better days, but the days won't come.
7:34
Show me
7:35
light. Show me
7:37
love. Show me love. Show me
7:41
love. Make a
7:43
change. Time is up.
7:46
We can wait for better days, but the
7:48
days won't come. Show me life. Show me
7:51
love. This is all we got. Show me. Show
7:55
me love. This is all we got. Show
7:59
me. Show me
8:03
love. This is all we got. Show
8:07
me. Show me love.
8:10
[Music]
8:12
This is all we
8:15
got. Show me love.
8:19
[Music]
8:24
This is everything here, you guys, that
8:26
I'm going to wash on a very delicate
8:29
cycle with just cool water. Um, and then
8:32
we are going to also put it in the dryer
8:35
and we're going to air dry it or just
8:36
use like warm, not hot, just so that I
8:40
don't ruin anything because I have a
8:42
variety of just different stuff in here
8:44
um that I don't want to mess up. So, I
8:46
did take out the MOI carrier because
8:48
this has like this black on here.
8:50
Everything else in here is like light
8:52
colored. This has the black. So, this is
8:54
going to be washed separately on its
8:56
own. I'm going to put this in the wash
8:58
for baby girl so that we'll have
9:00
everything cleaned for her for all of
9:04
her packing and stuff like that. And
9:06
then these ones here I have to put
9:10
inside like a little mesh like basically
9:13
like the little bag that I use to wash
9:15
my nursing pads in. I'll use one of
9:17
those bags for these because it just
9:19
protects them a little bit more so that
9:21
they don't get ruined. And you can just
9:23
do these on like a really quick cycle or
9:26
even hand wash them. So, I'm just going
9:27
to put them in a small like bag to
9:29
protect them. But these ones here, I'm
9:32
just going to go wash now and then I'm
9:35
going to start going through some of my
9:37
son's things so that I can do the same
9:40
for him. Not everything that I got for
9:43
my son, he's going to be wearing. So,
9:46
some of the stuff I'm actually just
9:48
going to go put it away in his room and
9:50
he'll have it for our next Disney trip
9:53
later in the year. So, some of this
9:56
stuff I'm just going to go hang it up in
9:58
his closet and get it out of here so
10:00
that it's out the way and I'm not
10:02
wondering like, okay, do I have to pack
10:04
that? Like, now I'm trying to condense
10:06
everything, get everything situated. So,
10:09
let's get this out of here now. So, when
10:10
I do my son's laundry, I'm also going to
10:12
put his travel pillow in there. So, now
10:14
I'm going to just go ahead and begin
10:15
getting his laundry together. So, here's
10:17
his travel pillow. Going to take that
10:19
out the
10:20
packaging. And then I'm going to go
10:22
gather up all of his clothes. Show
10:26
me. Show
10:28
[Music]
10:30
me. Sometimes life will push you
10:34
down. Make you fall onto the
10:38
ground. But I know you will turn it
10:42
around.
10:44
This one is from our last trip. It'll
10:46
fit him very well. Got it inside so that
10:49
I can make sure that it's going to be
10:51
put with our trip stuff in here so that
10:54
we don't forget it. This is just
10:56
something he'll have in case it gets
10:58
cold as well as travel day. But he might
11:01
just wear this on travel
11:03
day. Uh I don't know. We shall see. I
11:06
went ahead and got like some of the
11:07
things that I need to have like for
11:11
travel day like groceries and things
11:12
like that. These are the things that
11:13
we're going to be having like in the
11:15
airport on the airplane. So for Noah, I
11:17
got him these Mickey Mouse goldfish and
11:20
it has like the little Mickey head in
11:22
there mixed in with the goldfish. So
11:24
this is something that he can snack on
11:27
on travel day. I also got him these cute
11:30
little good to grow apple juices. It has
11:33
Rusty's Mater and Dinoco. All of the
11:37
cute little Lightning McQueen cars
11:40
characters on here. So, I got him those.
11:42
I also grabbed these here, which are the
11:46
Pixar little flavored fruit snacks. Not
11:49
something that he always has, but I got
11:51
him just for travel day. So, he'll put a
11:54
few of these in his little travel
11:55
backpack. And then I also got him some
11:58
mini some chips. And these I'm going to
12:00
put inside like little reusable sandwich
12:01
baggies. So, we can put like the sun
12:05
chips in there. Maybe the goldfish.
12:07
Easier to pack. And then when we get
12:09
there, we'll just rinse it and clean it
12:11
out. I got these for myself because this
12:14
is like my go-to snack. So, I grabbed
12:16
these for myself to be able to snack on
12:19
on travel day if I get a little hungry
12:21
or want a little snack. And then I got
12:23
us these to pack with us and take with
12:25
us because I can't always find these
12:27
ones at like a Walmart when we get
12:29
there. And these are the immune support
12:32
hydration multipliers by Liquid IV.
12:34
These are really good for park days. um
12:36
staying hydrated and giving your immune
12:38
system a boost. This as well as the
12:40
vitamin C powders just mixed in with
12:42
some water. Grabbed an extra one of
12:43
these. And then we'll try these and see
12:46
if we like those ones for baby girl.
12:49
She'll probably have a couple of these
12:51
inside of a reusable Disney snack bag
12:54
that we got from Bumpkin. So, I'll
12:56
probably put her some of these inside
12:57
for her to snack on maybe um if
13:00
necessary. She's way more messy than
13:03
Noah, so we'll see if she'll be having
13:06
anything. I also grabbed us some of
13:07
these to be able to pack. I'm just going
13:09
to put some of these in our med bag to
13:11
have. And then I have some chomps here.
13:14
And the chomps are another thing that
13:16
Noah and I like to just snack on. So,
13:19
this will give us a little bit of
13:21
something to snack on on travel day. We
13:22
are going to eat before we leave, but
13:25
just in case we have a long day. try
13:27
apples before, but they get warm. So,
13:31
apple is something that he eats before
13:33
we leave the house. Like I said, he's
13:34
going to have a full breakfast before we
13:36
even leave so that we don't really have
13:38
to worry too much about it. But just a
13:40
few of the things that I got. Maybe I'll
13:42
pack some of these for baby girl, some
13:45
yogurt melts for her or some puff. I
13:48
don't know. We have not even tried those
13:49
yet, but she will be 9 months, so maybe
13:53
we'll see. We still don't have TSA. And
13:55
at this point, I'm pretty sure we're not
13:57
going to have our TSA pre-check. In
13:59
fact, so much time has gone by. Um, I of
14:04
course finished the packing, but a few
14:06
things are still coming in the mail,
14:07
which I will show you guys. I do want to
14:09
show you guys one other thing that I do
14:11
when I'm prepping for vacation, which is
14:13
printing out my um guides. So, my park
14:17
day itineraries as well as my shopping
14:19
list. So once we land, we are going to
14:23
stop at Walmart and pick up some things
14:24
that I'm not packing. So I'm just going
14:26
to show you guys like what's on that
14:27
list. I try to keep a list because
14:29
otherwise I might forget something the
14:31
next time we take the trip or once we
14:33
get there, I'm going to forget because
14:35
my brain sometimes it's just so foggy
14:38
being like a mom, not really good
14:41
quality sleep and then travel day is its
14:43
own little thing. So sometimes I just
14:46
don't have a ton of like energy and
14:49
because of that I can be forgetful. So
14:51
having like everything on a list is just
14:53
great. And then as far as like park day
14:55
itineraries, it's just nice to have a
14:57
guide of what I think I want to do that
14:58
day. So I'm not forgetting like any
15:00
snacks that I knew I wanted to try, any
15:02
rides that I knew I wanted to try, the
15:04
show times, knowing what time those are,
15:06
the parades and things. I try to like
15:08
just get a full visual of what our day
15:10
could possibly look like on a perfect
15:12
day. And that way I can see where to fit
15:15
in like breastfeeding sessions, naps,
15:18
shopping, snacks, foods, what rides I
15:21
might need to schedule. But let me show
15:23
you guys those list. All right, so here
15:25
is my grocery list, you guys, right
15:28
here. And it has a lot of things that
15:31
I've already added that I think we're
15:32
going to need. I'm going to sit down
15:34
once I get this printed and make sure
15:35
there's nothing else that I need to add.
15:37
But this file is something that can be
15:39
edited and I can, you know, add things
15:42
as needed, check them off, and I can
15:45
also just print it. And then I also have
15:47
like a blank one here, completely blank
15:49
for future trips and things like that.
15:51
So I'm going to print these off and then
15:54
go over them as
15:59
well. So this is a file that I just keep
16:02
in my Canva library so that I can edit
16:05
it as necessary. make copies if
16:07
necessary. But basically, like these are
16:10
my little planners for when we're going.
16:13
And it's just something that I can
16:15
always look back and reference and say,
16:16
"Okay, this is what we did on our last
16:18
trip. This worked. This didn't. We'll
16:20
add things. We'll change things." So,
16:22
I'm going to print this, too. And I'm
16:24
going to take a look at it. I'm also
16:26
going to download it to have as well.
16:37
So,
16:39
let's download that one. I have like
16:43
from at 6:45 a.m. to wake up. So, I can
16:46
schedule Tron, get Genie Plus, and
16:50
schedule some like rides like Space
16:53
Mountain, Seven Door, like anything like
16:55
that at Magic Kingdom that's hard to
16:57
get. Tron was a thing in the Lightning
17:00
queue at Magic Kingdom that um you had
17:03
to get like in the queue for. You don't
17:06
have to anymore. You don't have to get
17:08
in the queue for Tron anymore at 6:45 in
17:11
the morning. And they're also you don't
17:14
have to get Genie this the morning up
17:16
because you can now get it if you're
17:18
staying at the resort a week before
17:20
maybe and if you're not then 3 days
17:22
before. I've yet to use this new genie
17:24
system. Even though we went last time,
17:26
we just didn't I don't think we we
17:29
booked it like ahead of time. I can't
17:30
remember how we did it. But so yeah,
17:33
this was the ideal plan and I had it to
17:37
where if we woke up and left the resort
17:39
at 8:30, we could get there and catch
17:42
the welcome show by 9:00 in the morning
17:44
after getting like our coffee at 8:45
17:47
and then do like a quick little meet and
17:48
greet with Mickey at Town Square um like
17:51
at 9:15, do breakfast at 9:45, have
17:55
Sleepy Hollow and get like a waffle and
17:57
then I put like where it's located and
17:59
everything. and get Joffre at
18:02
Tomorrowland. The parade friendship fair
18:04
is at 10:15 Stormer. So like I put like
18:08
an ideal schedule and Na is over here
18:10
going crazy. I have one more in my notes
18:12
that I think I made when we went with
18:14
the baby. So it may have like these cues
18:18
and things like that. So I'm going to
18:19
check my phone and see. And if so, I'm
18:21
just going to use that to edit um this
18:24
one basically and make some changes. And
18:26
then like I just it's easier for me to
18:29
make changes like looking at it and
18:30
writing it down than it is like typing
18:33
it in unless I was on a laptop. Then I
18:35
can change this edit this file and save
18:38
it for future use and download it to
18:40
keep inside my phone to access. So
18:43
that's where we are. This is just the
18:44
Magic Kingdom one and there are a few
18:47
more printing for the rest of the carts.
18:50
And then this is my grocery list, which
18:52
I think there's a couple things that I
18:53
wanted to add, as well as things I
18:56
needed to check off that I already have.
18:58
So like I've got hand soap, hand
19:00
sanitizer, toothpaste, and toothbrush
19:02
and body wash. I'm pretty sure we
19:04
already have our toothpaste and
19:05
toothbrush, and our body wash. So I can
19:08
check those off. But again, this is
19:09
something that I'm going to be using for
19:11
future as well. And after I print it is
19:13
when I can check off what I need and
19:15
don't need to still get health and
19:17
safety. We always get like our vitamins,
19:19
our elderberry, our vitamin C powder,
19:22
disinfectant spray, wipes, extra garbage
19:24
bags if we're there for 2 weeks. And
19:27
then for groceries, we always get like
19:29
coffee, water. We also need infant
19:31
water. And then we'll have to get some
19:33
baby food pures for the baby. Yep. For
19:36
you. Um, I put reusable coffee cup, but
19:39
I think I'm packing mines this time
19:41
around. What else? Additional down here
19:44
because we won't always need these
19:45
things. I decided to put them on the
19:47
additional tabs. Right now, while baby
19:49
is still in diapers, we're going to need
19:50
diapers and wipes. We might grab a robe
19:53
if I see one. I like to have a cozy
19:55
robe, but I don't want to pack it. We
19:57
are going to see the pack and play that
19:58
they have that they're providing us at
20:00
the resort. If I don't like it, then
20:03
we'll probably get one like a $50 one or
20:05
something from Walmart. And then we are
20:08
going to get like some slippers just to
20:10
wear in the room and then toss them
20:11
before we come home. lotion, sunscreen,
20:15
and after care, which I did pack, but
20:18
that's not always the case. I still put
20:19
it on here with toiletries, cleaning
20:22
spray, laundry soap for us and the baby,
20:25
cleaning tablets or solutions for the
20:27
jetted tub because we like to clean the
20:30
tub. Again, we're there for 2 weeks, so
20:32
we typically like to, you know, do some
20:35
cleaning around the resort room. For
20:36
groceries, I also got breakfast snacks.
20:39
And then we're going to order Noah a
20:40
birthday cake. We did the Mickey dome
20:43
cake last time for his birthday and I
20:45
wasn't a fan of it. We kind of only like
20:48
had like a couple bites and it seemed to
20:52
not get fully eaten. So, we're we're
20:55
going to go with something else this
20:56
time. But yeah, I'm going to look at
20:58
this, see if there's anything I need to
21:00
add. And then I got a blank one in case
21:02
I think of anything. And then I also
21:04
downloaded it to save to my phone. So,
21:07
that's what we're working on. I went
21:09
ahead and finished printing out the rest
21:10
of my park day planners. And this is the
21:13
last thing I wanted to do before just
21:16
packing up our airport and travel
21:18
backpacks. But I am going to go ahead
21:20
and close out this here prep vlog. That
21:23
way the next vlog you guys see will be
21:24

21:27

21:29
