We leave in t-minus 19 hours and are busedly cleaning the house for the arrival of the in-laws (who are graciously supervising our 17 yr old and 13 yr old) We've cleaned til there's no more to clean (at least my back to school cleaning is done.) We've packed til I can fit no more in two roll on carry ons and a "personal item such as a purse or brief case".They arrive at 12 tomorrow. We leave for the airport at 1:30 pm. We are flying first class on continental Can't wait. We will be staying at the Dolphin at a Hotwire rate of $65.00 per night.. Hope we get a King bed. Have never stayed here before but gave up our AP res at POR to stay at a "better" resort? Have stayed at BW, YC, BC, WL as well as ASM, ALL Star Sports, and CSR, and Dixie Landing (POR). I'm sure we'll love the Dolphin (although I explain to EVERYONE that the "BIG FISH" they see really is a Dolphin (not "Flipper" but the fish the Dolphin). Cannot WAIT to go on Space!! And BTMR, and SM, and Space Mountain and Pooh and eat Beaver Tails and go to the Comedy Club and Adventurer's Club. And maybe eat in France and Germany and see Fantasmic and remember why I am married to the most wonderful man for the last 19 yrs. which is the cause of our celebratory trip. I'll write a trip report when we return! Happy Anniversary to us!!!

Have a wonderful time! You will love the Dolphin. Happy Anniversary!
Have a great time. You will love the Dolphin. It's in a great location. We love to eat at Tubbies. It's a cross between sit down and fast food. Cheap and good. Also the fountain has great malts. Did you request a King room, and tell them it's your anniversary? We have so much fun when we go "sans kids". Ours are both grown, but we still have a ball. Enjoy, don't worry, stop and smell the roses, and, most of all, be a kid!

We also have snuck away several times to WDW without the kids. We always plan another trip to take them later. You will be amazed at how much fun you have without the incessant whining and disagreements! Ha Ha! Happy Anniversary! Please let us know how the Dolphin treated you.

What is the word for running out of breath. Wish my husband would like Disney more. No conversion for him.
