Will I need to tell them I am with the DIS group or a persons name?

Just tell them you're with the loud, crazy group. Then, even if you end up with the wrong group, you know you'll have fun anyway!

Greetings from Macon, GA!

We had a very nice drive down. Weather was perfect! No problems with gas at all.

Robin sorry we didn't see you waving or we would have stopped and picked you up!

Two nasty delays that luckily were reverse direction from us. One was Northbound 65 that had all lanes blocked when a Semi creamed a small red car. Then coming out of the mountains also Northbound 65 also had the road closed with a back up all the way to the rest area (a good 3-5 miles). Yikes! Hope all involved were not hurt.

Made very good time and got in her just shy of 8 pm Eastern. A good nights sleep and we'll be on the road nice and early and should be in WDW some time tomorrow afternoon.

As for the gas situation. Like I said no real problem. Stopped in Effingham, IL and got gas for $3.99 a gallon. Stopped in Clarksville, TN. This station (BP) only had regular and it was $4.15 but as I said a few days ago I paid $4.23 at home. Last stop was in Dalton, GA and we paid $3.99 again. So the prices are high but not crazy, each station had gas and no lines.

Ok off to do some more reading and then to bed.

Safe travels to everyone traveling tomorrow.

Just heard - Walt Disney World parks and resorts is admitting anyone celebrating their birthday in for free on their actual birthday in 2009! How cool is that! Doesn't cost them more, in fact they'll make more.

John, are you and Carol going to join us for dinner. We would love to have you.

 

[TnRobin]

Doing the laundry. Got two more loads to do. I also have to put the finishing touches on the FE game door magnets. Then I will try to get some sleep. Leaving for the airport at 11am.

 

[seaulater]

Well, I just finished printing, folding and stapling our mini-navigators! Put them in a box and I am now headed home to finish packing!

Tomorrow, I am at the Scrapbook Expo all day and night (10 am - 12 midnight) and then I have to be to the drill team yard sale at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Have the 5:30 a.m. - noon shift. Then going straight from there to the airport for a 1:45 p.m. Saturday flight.

I will see everyone Sunday morning in the terminal or on the ship. (If I don't catch you in the terminal, your mini-navigators will be in your fish mail)

See everyone Sunday.

John, are you and Carol going to join us for dinner. We would love to have you.

Thank you so much Robin, and we would love to join you! Actually John and I just got through tweaking our Saturday afternoon plans..and we can now make it over to Cape May in time for your dinner. As always, just trying to squeeze so much into so little time, lol.

We are working a half day tomorrow and heading out for a doctor visit for me, a run to the Jewel, a run to our Bank, a quick cleaning up at home, and placing all the items strewn across our guest room bed into suitcases, lol.

We are getting picked up by our limo around 5 am Saturday morning and off we go! When we check in at BWV, we will stash luggage with Bell Services and head off to a park close by rather than our initial plan of MK that afternoon. Will give us plenty of time to make it over to Cape May for 5:45 pm to join you all, if you still have space.

Can't believe it is almost time to depart! Looking forward to meeting everyone there...
