Well, another day, another change to our trip!
First and foremost, I think Jose is pretty convinced to drive the Honda to FL rather than rent the mini van. Money talks in a trip such as this! So we planned on driving about halfway (which appears to be Macon, GA), stay the night there and then drive on to Disney in the morning. That was until we learned that because we'll need a crib for Lexi, the kind of hotel we'll need will run us the same as another night at Disney. And since we're planning on driving down on a Saturday but not checking in to the hotel till Sunday, that got us to thinking... Drive halfway, spend the night trying to bite our tongues and not spill the beans about where we're actually headed for what equates to a full rack rate at ASMovies, OR... Or we could get up at the crack o' dawn (as we already planned to do), drive at a leisurely yet steady pace with planned stops every couple of hours and make it to Disney by bedtime on Saturday...
Guess which option we decided upon?
Here's our week at a glance!

I like it!
I made the first few purchases for our trip this weekend too. Wanna see?
First things first. Snacks. Bribery. Munchies.
I bought an enormous bag of lollipops which I'll split for the visit down and the visit back.
Play phones.
The girls have about a bajillion of these all around the house, but new toys are new toys, and once we're in the car with the rest of us and our phones and laptops, they're going to want to mimic us. This is my fingers-crossed solution.
So is this.
Little blackboard type things that don't require chalk or crayons. Excellent.
Then there are these for MVMCP.
The girls won't always wear necklaces and bracelets, but they WILL hold these, which I'll string onto necklaces anyway.
Jose found these; he's such a pushover.
New nightgowns for Stasia and Lexi!
We got these as well; Maybe for tea at GF? We'll see.
And now I'm off to check on Kyle, Mr. I'm Too Grown Up For Disney World. It appears he has the flu. The piggy flu. H1N1. Oh joy.
