119 days for us ... and counting!

103 for us. This is a surprise trip and it is so hard for me not to tell the kids. They only know about our trip in September of 2013.

How cool! How/when are you planning to tell them?

They think we are taking an extra beach trip. We will tell them when we check in at the airport.

So exciting! Sometimes I just wish I could be a fly on the wall with these surprise trips.

Welcome to the new POFQ FAQ thread.

The previous 2011 thread reached the DIS 250 page limit, so please get yourself a nice long cooool drink from Mardi Grogs, pull up a poolside recliner, and make yourselves at home in our new abode.

Andre

Tell Shelley I'll have a Bud Light Lime. For those who haven't been to Mardi Grogs she is one of the best servers/bartenders I've run into anywhere not just WDW

 

[Csaks]

Looking forward to our fall trip here. I need to go back and read up on the old threads. Usually stay at POR.

 

[Emme]

We are leaving tomorrow, I am so excited/nervous/and all over the place

If anyone needs to know anything or wants me to check out anything at POFQ while I'm there let me know. We don't use computers on vacations so I can post anything you need when I get back

I'm flying for the first time in 11 years tomorrow, keep me in your thoughts for a very uneventful flight coming and going !!

Will post a full hotel report when we get back!!

Have a great time Emme! Enjoy the flight too. Looking forward to reading your report when you get back.

(by the way, if you or anyone else gets the chance to snap some quick photos of the menu boards in the footcourt for breakfast/lunchtime/dinner, that'd be great in helping me keep the prices/etc up to date)

Consider it done!! I'd be happy to take the pics. Thank you for everything Andre!

Tomorrow is the day! I'll try to post pics or do some kind of updates if I can. We're driving (10 hours), so it's going to be a very long day tomorrow.

 

[Jacqui]

All of you that are leaving soon, have me so jealous!!! I know my turn will come but I just want to be there NOW!!! Only 5 (make that 4!!) months to go, I can handle it, I think, I hope! We are also surprising our kids with this trip. Our last trip was in 2010 and they don't think we are going again until next year. Fingers crossed that we can keep the surprise going until the day we leave!!

Looking forward to our stay! Don't want to rush time since my DS is graduating grammar school- he's been there since he was 3 for PreK but I can't wait for Disney!!

Hey CarolinaBlue, where can I buy Cherry lemon Sundrop? I'm a fellow tarheel but I haven't seen it yet. Have a great trip!

I would say get lots of sleep tonight but if you are anything like me it is hard to sleep the night before we leave - too excited!!

Hope you have a Magical Vacation!!!

If it makes you feel any better I have over a year to wait before I am back!

Thanks!
