I desperately need to look at my countdown...

[Jillpie]

ok, thanks for letting me indulge. Its this Friday everybody, this Friday!!!!!:D

[MissMagnolia]

Can I join in - Saturday for us! My DS(3) has a calendar we made and he colors in each day and counts how many are left until we leave). We're down to 6 days!!!:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[Jillpie]

Isn't it awesome!!! How many days are you staying for? We are there for 11 days, till the 18th. I can't wait.

[Jillpie]

Thanks Dan ;) . I can't even imagine what Wishes looks like or sounds like, I think thats what I'm looking forward to the most. And to see what everyone is talking about when they mention how great Philarmagic is. :D

[MissMagnolia]

Jillpie,
We will be at WDW from 1/10 - 1/17. We are trying out Pop Century on the 10th and 11th and then switching over to CBR. We love the Caribbean, so we are excited to try out this resort. I CAN'T WAIT!!! We have been packed for weeks - no, I am not exaggerating. My DH keeps dancing around the house singing, "I'm going to DisneyWorld, DisneyWorld, DisneyWorld...":rolleyes:

[tink98]

Ok had to join in, Thursday for us, short stay 3 nights for our 10th anniversary. Just pulled out the old park maps, entertainment schedules from our honeymoon 1/1994 - how different!

[DJBounce]

It's Thursday for us!! We are staying at Pop Century!! Can't wait!

[Pinnie]

Cool everybody. I have luggage sprawled out over the whole living room. We have had so much going on lately with Christmas and my Dad's 80th surprise birthday party last night (with limo and all, how fun). But now I can really get down to business. Its last minute shopping today and packing, packing packing! The kids are getting dismissed at 11:00 on Friday and off to a 3:00 flight out of Logan airport!!!!!

[Jillpie]

Thanks Pinnie! :D

So glad someone else's living room looks like ours!!:D

Have great trip :)...as they say in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia... Safe travels, safe home!!:sunny:

[Harambe]

Have a great time Jillpie! As of tomorrow, I will officially be doing the single-digit dance! DD and I went shopping today because she decided to tell me this morning that her bathing suit is now too small! The gods were with us and we found a cheapo one at Marshalls! Yeah!

I did some packing today. DS has had the bad flu for a week, with it turning into pnuemonia this past Friday, so our Christmas vacation was spent getting thru that! He is actually doing great today as we tried another antibiotic and it is working. Doc said he should be A-OK by next week! Keep your fingers crossed!

[welovedis]

Its only 3 days for us! Wednesday afternoon we leave!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Praying that everyone has a great trip and stays healthy, especially for the marathon!

[bjakmom]

Everyone I saw this weekend kept saying, "If I don't see you before you leave, have a great time!!" - now I'm really excited!

EARLY Sat morning for us! I haven't started packing yet :earseek: !
I figure I'll drag out the suitcases tomorrow morning after everyone goes back to work/school and get started. My sister's family and my dad have all been soooo sick with the flu - I've been delivering meals to the door - and I've been sucking zinc/echinacea lozenges for the last two days - flu stay away!!!

So far the weather forecast looks pretty good - 60s in the day - yesterday it was 59 here and I was out taking down the Xmas decorations in a t shirt - I can deal with that - hoping for at least a few days in the 70s so we can swim!:smooth: (at least it will finally be turning cold at home while we're there!)

[CHARLADIZ]

It's so much fun to feel the excitement of other people who are about to leave!! We won't be going until May. Have fun and savor every moment of your trip!

[Jillpie]

Thanks everybody for all your warm wishes! Just got home from church, asked the pastor for a family blessing and now know that we'll have a safe trip:D !
Harambe, so sorry to hear about your son, but isn't it great it didn't happen next week!
bjakmom, get those luggage pieces down and get to work, thats the fun part! Seems endless sometimes, remembering so many details...but once Friday comes, the packing stuff is over and the fun starts, oh yea baby!!!!!

I've got three kids that are absolutely dreading going back to school tommorow but I just keep reminding them only 3 weeks of school and then we'll be heading to WDW, that thought gets a smile on their faces :D (mine too!)

[Alice42]

Have a great time everyone!:)
I am looking forward to getting out of cold, snowy Chicago for a few days (1/14(evening)-1/18)-
and my first stay at AKL!:cool1:
Can't wait!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :jumping3: :jumping4:

[Harambe]

Hey Alice42 - we will be there at AKL with you! I am so excited! Let's pray for sunny weather.

[Alice42]

I can't believe we're arriving the same day to the same place! Are you as excited as I am?:bounce:
I will definitely be praying for some sunny upper 70's weather!:sunny:

See ya there!;)

[crzy4mk]

As I dropped 3 of my daugters off at school today, I tried to get them out of their "blahs" by reminding them that our WDW trip was coming soon! After I got to the office, I got to thinking about it, and I got excited too! Just needed to see my countdown timer . . . we're almost inside a month!!!:D

[Tulip]

I'm so jealous of all your countdowns. I'm trying to convince DH to go now since the exchange rate is so fantastic. So far no luck. :(

[Jillpie]

Well, now I can get even more excited than I was before. I got the call that I was waiting for from DVC. We got the 2 bedroom dedicated for the middle of our stay that we needed to complete our reservation (we had a lockoff 2 br, so we were going to have to move). So now its done!! I have to go completely pack now and its just three more days now!!!!:bounce:

[Harambe]

Have soooooo much fun, Jillpie! I just checked Accuweather.com and the weather for the next fifteen days looks beautiful! Yes - a little on the cool side, but sunny and nights will be clear for Illumination, Fantasmic, etc. The only times it said rain, were days/nights we planned on staying at AKL!

I'll look skyward on Friday at 3:00 - and wave up to you guys!

[Jillpie]

Thank you so much! Its just one more week for you, so hang on! :D Yes, I've been watching the weather sites for a week now, twice a day. I'm SO excited there's no snow here in Boston (well, south of Boston). That was my biggest fear. But its going to be SOOOOOO cold here for the next week. No worries here, I'll be in sunny Florida!! So have a great trip down and watch for the lime green on a DW fanny pack!!! :wave:
