A Dis Veteran and New Addict's WDW Vacation Jan .2009

[Nemo32]

Wow the weather is going to be almost perfect. I would love to go to Disney and not sweat for once.

YAY for perfect weather! Hopefully it won't snow the day we leave and delay our flight.

Hi

Just read your "must rides"...I noticed that Toy Story Mania (DHS) wasn't on the list. If you like Buzz you have to try this ride...only...get there bright and early, fast passes run out quickly.

Have a great trip!

Thanks for reading! I meant to put Toy Story Mania on there, oops.

But it wouldn't really be disney if you didn't sweat.

I'm heading there in April and I'm actually thinking about packing some long pants. It just seems wrong somehow. Maybe I'll just take capri's instead.

jjohnson has been in April and has told me about some HOT HOT days.

 

[Nemo32]

Count down with me!!

I can't believe it is such a small amount of time. I am nowhere near ready to go. It is so weird thinking that THIS Saturday I'll be in WDW.

We decided to change our Sat. night festivities from DTD to MK, just to stroll and hear Cinderella Castle say, "Welcome back!" I need to call Dis tomorrow and add a day to our ticket.

Today Joe bought new luggage (for $35!) to use for the trip. I have my very own Mickey Mouse luggage, I'll post pics.

I've also come down with a bit of a stuffy nose and scratchy throat, I'm hoping it doesn't progress further than a scratch. But in the meantime, I've been taking Vitamin C and getting lots of rest- hopefully that'll help combat more frightful things going around right now in WDW.

Again, 4 DAYS!! It's going to be over TOO soon!

I think it's hot in Epcot 24/7 365 days a year either that or old age

I think it was smart to change the first night. It would be hard to wait 3 days to see the castle. When are you going to DTD?

 

[Diamondintheruff]

So did you call disney and add another day?

I only resisted the urge to go to MK the first night when I knew I would be there first thing the next morning.

I hope you're feeling better. I've been fighting a scratchy throat the last few days too. I almost bought a box of Cold-RX or whatever it is called that is supposed to shorten the length of time you have the cold. But instead I opted for chicken soup, vitamin C and a nice hot bath.

That would mean no DTD. I may add the day and just decide when we get there.

Unfortunately, my scratchy throat has turned into a full blown flu. This is the 1st time today I'm out of bed. Got the aches and chills so bad and I'm really burning up. Luckily (well I suppose on how you look at it) my mother is getting over the flu and has set aside some anti-biotics for me. Hopefully I'll be better by Saturday. I just hope my immune system won't be so weak that I'll get sick again at WDW with the worse of two evils.

 

[Diamondintheruff]

You'll be fine with the antibiotics.

My Jedi was pale, feverish, and in bed for two days before we got antibiotics into him last sunday. Turns out he had tonsilitis and I swear within two hours of his first dosage he was jumping around the house again.

If it is a long dosage of antibiotics you might still be covered when you go to WDW.

Anyway you've still got some time to recover and believe that you will make it through it. I'm sending you some pixie dust from here to help you. Of course the canadian dollar isn't what is was a few months ago but hopefully it will be enough!

Thanks for the pixie dust! Glad to hear Jedi is feeling better!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

But how are you feeling????

 

[Nemo32]

But how are you feeling????

I've been feeling better today, less fever. I still have aches from my ears down to my neck though. I've been getting a lot of rest and drinking lots of OJ.

It's given me a lot of time to work the details in our itinerary for the trip. That's an upside.

Just found your report and am reading through it... I am so jealous!!! I wish I was leaving on Saturday for Disney... Right now we are planning December but we might have to plan a shorter trip in there somewhere. Hope you are feeling better and can really enjoy your time at DW...

Thanks for reading! I would just love to go in Dec...but maybe a short trip in between would be a nice Dis fix for you. I can't believe I'm leaving Saturday, it doesn't seem real!

Just found your TR. Wow your trip is close. I leave in 9 days.

Yours is pretty close to...SINGLE DIGITS!! Thanks for reading!

I can't believe you only have 2 more days. Are you all packed and ready to go? I want to see pics of that luggage.

Packing begins tomorrow. I'm waiting for laundry and to get the suitcase from the attic. I'll post pics when I'm done.

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I'm off for a weekend away with just DH so I might not get another chance to wish you a safe and magical trip.

I'll be thinking of you and wishing I was there too!

It's just one night and it's not like he's taking me to Disney.

Oh wait he is. Of course that is not till April. You get to go like tomorrow!

So jealous!

I hope you are feeling better. I was actually home sick today. Terrible sinus pain. DH was teasing me that I was just trying to get out of our night away.

I've been feeling a lot better...I hope you get better in time for your getaway.
