You are soooooooooooooooooo close. Are you all packed? Suitcases at the door?

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Well this is sure to be my last pre trip post on my PTR as


TOMORROW IS 1 DAY UNTIL WE ARE IN THE HAPPY PLACE...


(We started out with this chain...)

(And tonight - in just a couple of hours we are here...)

(one last lone link...!!!)


Since I posted the plans for the first 4 of our 5 days... I thought I'd add the 5th (even though I hate last days...



Monday, December 3rd -Epcot Future World


- Breakfast at tbd... probably something quick... maybe Boardwalk Bakery?
- EPCOT
- Test Track- should be in previews... YEAH
- Mission to Mars*
- Spaceship Earth
- Innoventions East & West including Sum of all Thrills...

- May do Soarin*-instead of Mission or both if time...

- Lunch at Via Napoli-11:30

- have a little time till Magic Express leaves prob at 2 for 5:30 flight...
so stroll back to Beach Club... last photos, purchases...

- 5:30 pm flight from Orlando to Philadelphia
- arrive at PHL at 7:30

-experience Post Disney Traumatic Reentry into Reality... (PSTRiR) ... it's a real thing... look it up... Ok maybe it's not- but it should be...


I have David packed, I have the toiletries packed and my clothes are just about ready... I have a couple of tweaks... they'll be packed and ready to go tomorrow...


Eric got me another really nice pre holiday surprise...

A D23 Membership...


So now I have some extra good reading material for the plane...

Additionally I am really thrilled about the weather in Orlando, considering this is what we were dealing with in Philadelphia today...

It looked like this...

It may not look too bad- a little pretty with the snow... but it was really mostly icy rain/sleet... chills right to the bone...

This is what is supposed to be going on when we're in Disney...

I will take it! ...


Before I wind this done... I just wanted to share a little holiday spirit... For the past 12 years I've been collecting snowmen... Eric usually gives me one the day after Thanksgiving... I love them... They just make me happy... I'm not sure why but they do... (kind of like my pumpkin/fall thing...)


Anyway this is the whole crowd...

A couple closer up...

This year's new addition...

Actually if you look... You can find them all around...

Ok so yes those are all in my house but even when I stopped to get my much needed coffee this afternoon... just look what I found...

If you look hard in the foam... You can see a hidden snowman... (just like a hidden Mickey...) or you could before I started drinking it...

BUT you can definitely see these...

So... I'll be leaving on that hopefully upbeat note...

I'm definitely going to try to post a couple of photos on Facebook each day...

(If you aren't friends with me on FB and would like to be... PM me...)

& When I come back I definitely will do a Trip Report...about our trip (Chessie, Hatter & Rabbit) to Disney's Christmasland....

Hmmm... I feel a TR title coming on... Chessie, Hatter & Rabbit go Rogue in Christmasland... I'll have to think about that one...

& BTW Alice... I'm watching you... always watching...

Great last day plans! Do you know what would make them better? Extending the trip until Friday so we could meet.

Love your snowmen. I used to have snowmen all around until I went with an all Disney theme.

Congrats on your D23 membership.

I'm going to try to do two or three updates to my TR tomorrow so I can get it done before we leave next week. Please PM me when you start your TR so I can catch up when I get back home.

And I'm PM'ing you now so we can be friends on FB.

Love your snowmen! I was actually eyeing the new snowman mug at Starbucks...two of those might be needed in my cupboard.

Sigh, the last day, so sad. Best not to think about it, I agree!

76....oh does that sound just lovely!

Have a MAGICAL trip and I'll be watching FB for updates

 

[mnmrmustard]

Flight tomorrow - whoohoo Patricia!!!!!! Day 5 looks good, but I hear you about last days I can't wait to escape our weather either - we have thick fog this evening and temps in the mid 30s.

Cool snowman collection, love the frosty especially

We'll be there the day after you so get "the World" ready for us, okay?

Have a great vacation!!!!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Have a wonderful and magical trip!!!!!!! The weather there definitely looks nicer than what we have up here!

 

[Flossbolna]

Have a wonderful trip! I hope you can find a Disney snowman to add to your collection - ot at least to bring some additional happiness to the trip!

 

[MEK]

Just stopping by to have a wonderful trip! I hope it is completely magical and goes off without a hitch.

And, yes, the weather is horrible here right now. Can I just say how jealous I am that you will be getting on a plane tomorrow and leaving the damp cold for 75 degree weather. Awesomeness! I think I might need a Christmas trip again next week. Hmmmmmm........

Well, OK then. Can't see your santas, but I bet that are really cool. I personally love santas!

 

[AlohaAnnie]

Have a Magical Trip! ​

[Tink-erin-belle]

I am VERY late to the party, but I subbed on because I want to read how this trip came to be! I have been reading (I’m up to your Quebec trip now) but I wanted to wish you a magical trip! I guess you are on your way now, so I am sending you pixie dust and I can’t wait to hear all about the trip when you get back!

 

[brookelizabeth]

& BTW Alice... I'm watching you... always watching...

Hopefully she is a very well behaved Alice while you are gone!

I hope you have a MAGICAL time, I just sent you a Friend Request on Facebook!

 

[Angies1274]

I missed your send off....but I still wanted to pop on and wish you a wonderful trip!! I can't wait to read all about it when you get back!

 

[PrincePluto]

Emerging from lurkdom to be the first to say, "Welcome back!" Looking forward to your trip report.

 

[MEK]

Welcome back Patricia. Hope you had a wonderful time. Can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

HI Everyone...

I am indeed back... We got back late on Monday ... our flight got in about 9:30 pm but it was getting close to midnight by the time we actually got in...

Yesterday (Tuesday) Re-entry Day was a little rough... desperately missed being at WDW ... & I think I had about 6 cups of coffee... but I'm not quite sure...

but

WE had an absolutely wonderful Time... our weather was amazing, the crowds weren't bad at all, the Christmas decorations were lovely, we got to see the "new" Fantasyland and Test Track was open... not to mention I did manage to try at least three new adult beverages... well actually more I believe... & ride lots of old favorites and some new (at least for me) ones too...

Since today I'm feeling more adjusted... I'm hoping to start my TR either tonight or tomorrow...

I just want to do some responses and try to catch up on my subscriptions... but then I'll definitely be back to start my Trip Report -Rabbit, Chessie & Hatter Go Rogue in Christmasland...

Back in a little bit...

Please PM me when you start your TR with a link so when I get back next week I can easily find you....I don't want to miss the TR.
