Hi Kathy! How many more days??? TWO!!!! Yay!

Your last night with the Japanese steakhouse and Starbucks sounds awesome!

Personally, I'm looking forward to your AK day - especially Tusker House!!! I'm so excited to get to meet you!

 

[goofy4prez]

So, since I have to get my girls TR done by tomorrow, I am just going to do a recap of our days here. Unfortunately, the weather is calling for some rain during our trip (I should be used to this after June), so it may alter our plans, but I'm hoping not by much.

Friday...THIS FRIDAY...August 16

We arrive in Orlando around 11:30;

Just two short days away... If you are like me it will be two days of sleepless nights because of the anticipation. Have a great time and I hope you experience nothing but sunny days your time there.

 

[MEK]

So great that you are going to meet Brenda and Emmy.

Your plans look marvelous! I just wanted to stop by to say have a great vacation. I am working A LOT over the next several days so this may be my last chance to tell you that.

Can't wait till you come back to read about your latest adventure!

At this time it is now1 day, 8 hours and 49 minutes.

Your last night with the Japanese steakhouse and Starbucks sounds awesome!

It's our favorite way to end our Marco trip.

I'm looking forward to that day a whole lot too. We can't wait to meet you and Emily.

I've already not been sleeping because my poor puppy cannot get comfortable with her cone of shame on her head. But I'm sure tonight and tomorrow will be even worse. And I have to get up at 4 a.m. on Friday.

So great that you are going to meet Brenda and Emmy.

I'm very excited about this...love meeting my favorite DISer's (like you).

Your plans look marvelous! I just wanted to stop by to say have a great vacation. I am working A LOT over the next several days so this may be my last chance to tell you that.

Can't wait till you come back to read about your latest adventure!

Thank you so much, MaryEllen.

Let's wrap this up because I leave in less than 48 hours. WOO HOO!

Tuesday, August 20, we will spend the entire day here:



We have a lunch ADR at Chefs de France and we will be meeting a fellow DISer (if not two) for a slush in France around 4 p.m.

After that we will head back to OKW to freshen up for our dinner ADR which Mark knows nothing about. We will be dining here:



Wednesday, August 21 is our "resort day". We will have breakfast at Olivia's, hang at the pool (I'll do some laundry if need be) an dthen go to DTD. We have dinner reservations at Raglan Road.

Thursday, August 22, we are headed here:



We have a lunch ADR at the Plaza. We will get as much done as we hadn't previously or whatever we want to do again. We may stay until it closes at 10:00 p.m. or we might go to Epcot or we might go shopping at the outlet malls....this is our wing it afternoon/evening.

I will also give out my balloon in memory of my dad before we leave the MK.

Friday, August 23, we are headed back here:




We will be doing the Keys to the Kingdom Tour and I can't wait.

Once our tour is over, we will head to the parking lot after saying goodbye to Disney, and drive to Nickiland for the next nine days.


Thank you all for following along and for posting...it means a lot to me.

I'll try to post a picture update each day if I get on the computer; I will definitely be posting an update every day on Facebook.

 

[PhoenixStrength]

Less than 48 hours!

 

[ronnmel]

Hurray for being in Disney in less that two days!!!!

 

[lovethattink]

Sorry I haven't been around much.

Woohoo, less than 48 hours!

OOOOh, Chefs de France. I really love that restaurant. But I'm the only one in the family who does. Does Remmy still make an appearance at lunch?

Yay for a DIS meet.

Nice! Dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse.

Sounds like a nice resort day.

Have you ever tried the potato chicken soup at The Plaza? It's really good.

The balloon idea is very touching.

Can't wait to hear how the Keys to the Kingdom Tour went. That's something I've always wanted to do.

 

[GrammyJudy]

Have a wonderful trip

 

[EstherS]

[Chicago Mo]

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
Shinin' at the end of ev'ry day
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream away​

ONE MORE SLEEP if that's what your actually going to do! i never sleep the night before Disney!

I will be waving at you in your plane from my parking lot tomorrow!!!!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

What a magical visit this is going to be, Kathy! Love the surprise for Mark with dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse - looking forward to pictures.

So happy for you two. I am going to spend some time catching up...but I know each day will be perfect planning and will make me feel I am almost there with you.

As you know, August 22 is my Toby's angel day, so for me MK would be very special on that day - will be thinking of you. Please send up a thought of Toby when there.

I will be thinking if you and your lovely balloon tradition in memory of your dad.

Know you'll love the Keys to the Kingdom Tour! I already knew most of the history and insiders tips having been through the old timers Traditions Class....but we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Have fun!

Safe travels and have an absolutely fabulous visit!! You know I will be checking FB everyday.

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Wonderful plans. Wishing you safe travels and a great trip!!!

 

[KatMark]
