I'm so sorry that your team lost yesterday....your cupcakes look delicious tho!!
I am a planner too so I can completely understand the anguish you must be feeling! Stick to your plans hon, it's your vacation and don't forget that! Can't wait to hear more
Thanks! They were delicious, although not nearly as tasty as ones at Starring Rolls.
I'm sure I'll come off looking like the bad guy by not changing my plans, but this trip is probably once-in-a-lifetime for my mom and I, and I'm not letting anything get int he way.
Ugh that Super Bowl was a joke yesterday, wasn't it! I'm not a big football fan, but I do like the Patriots lovestruc Tom Brady!) and I was hoping the stupid Giants wouldn't beat them again. But as soon as the Giants got those 2 points to start the game, I knew it was a bad sign.
Your travel day looks...well, stressful! Lots of driving! I had no idea you were so far from Orlando, I assumed you could just pop over to Disney whenever you wanted! I always forget Florida is so big, because CT is so tiny, you can get anywhere you want in an hour!
Haha, I'm like you, I plan a lot, and when people who don't try to change things around, I panic! I'm trying to get better with being more lenient with my Disney planning, because I used to be psychotic with it, but still, I need to have a basic itinerary!
I was a wreck the last 57 seconds of the game. I was standing in front of the tv, yelling, "Get down the field, get down the field!" And then when Brady threw that last incomplete, I just stood there with my hands on my head, going, "No, it's not possible. They didn't just lose to the Giants. There's no way they did it again."
We get a lot of people that don't realize how big Florida is. When Alex first got stationed here, his relatives were telling his parents, "At least he's only a few hours away." And they had to explain to them that it was longer than they thought.
The kicker is that Florida extends to the left. So not only do we have to drive down the state, we also have to go halfway across it, which is about 4 hours.
Hi, Alicia! I finally found my way over here from your TR, and am so glad I did.
First, I can't wait to read all about the EEC! And second, I hope that your Mom really does have a wonderful time. I think it's so awesome that you and her are going to be able to spend time together in the parks!!
Thanks for finding my PTR! I loved reading your comments in my TR. Oh, and by the way, I keep forgetting to say this, but I read your Dream Trip Report and loved it! Your pictures (especially of the new Animator's Palate) made me want to try out one of the new ships.
Hey! I totally missed that you started a PTR or I would have been here sooner! I'm so glad to know that someone else (other than myself) has caught the runDisney addiction bug! My DF and I will also be running EEC again this year and hopefully this time I can meet you too instead of just your DH! EEC is so much fun and I can't wait for the 5 year anniversary medal. I got the 15th anniversary donald medal for the half this year and love it!
Also, I love your PTR! Your writing style is so fun because I feel like I'm talking to you rather than reading... plus, you remind me of myself with your resistance to people changing plans at the last minute... that happens to me all the time and people just don't get why I panic
runDisney is such an addiction! I've never heard Alex this passionate about wanting to complete a half marathon before, but now it's a huge goal of his. He has spoken to so many past runners and has even gotten a training schedule from someone who just did the Half Marathon this past January.
I wondered if you were going to do the EE5K again, but I knew you had a wedding coming up, so I thought you might've been a little busy. That's awesome that you are, in fact, doing it again. And this time, if I do happen to see you, I will be sure and say hello.
I hope your able to find a middle ground with the sisters. We are absolute HOGS with our Disney trips!!! I mean our next trip is like 19 days and i would STILL find it hard to meet up with someone or take time out to do something other than what i have planned so i can totally relate to that.
so, how long of a drive will it be exactly?? i WISH we could drive!! Airfare is SO expensive from up here in the frigid north
Can't wait to see more
Yeah, I'm not the worst when it comes to adjusting plans, but I definitely don't like to do it. I guess when it comes to Disney trips, I feel pressured with time constraints to do as much as can before I have to leave again, I don't want to waste precious time!
The drive will be about 8 hours, give or take. It can be pretty long, but I've done the trip so many times, it's not a big deal anymore.
