No! I did not know that! Cool! That's great to know. I still need to go and mail out a package, but we have our mail held (or forwarded) fairly often. Thanks

I couldn't wait any longer. I had to take a peek at the ten day forecast for Orlando.

Fri
Mar 27 Partly Cloudy 88°/65° 10 %
Sat
Mar 28 Partly Cloudy 90°/67° 10 %
Sun
Mar 29 Scattered T-Storms 84°/60° 40 %
Mon
Mar 30 Isolated T-Storms 82°/61° 30 %

Wed

Thu

Scattered thunderstorms doesn't excite me. (for those who read my last report - remember our first evening at MK and the "tornado" scare???? ) But, maybe that would mean clouds, which would be good with those high temps. Just remembered something else to add to my list - sunscreen!!

I wouldn't worry about the thunderstorms too much - and that 10 day forecast changes quite a bit as you get closer... (I have experience checking weather.com obsessively...)

The Dark Side

I'd prefer temps in the 70's, but beggars can't be choosers, eh?

Someone just mentioned the holding mail online - I still need to mail out a package though.

I know. I have a feeling the weather is going to be in the 80's. I really loved our weather in January. If you haven't been able to tell yet, I have a hot sun phobia.

 

[jmskinner]

I've been watching the weather here. Don't worry too much, it keeps changing. Yesterday it was showing 60% chances for 2 days here next week, but now only shows 30 & 40% chances. Can't believe it is going to be 90 on Saturday. Sounds like a great day for Typhoon Lagoon for us!!!

You are going to have such a great trip!

Ahh, I can't wait to need sunscreen once more!

(Don't forget to reapply regularly!) Are sunglasss/hats on your list, too?

I think the forcast looks great... its central Florida, there's always "a chance" of scattered thunderstorms when its warm!!! (And even if it does rain, it usually doesn't last long!)

Tip: I've found that if you pack your ponchos and take them with you, it doesn't rain. If you leave them in the room, it most certainly will!

So true! Also, I'll wait to wash my truck, what is your return home date so I don't do it too early?

We'll have a great time no matter the weather.

Definitely need to add hats to my list for the boys. Thanks

We head home on April 4th.

 

[Happydog]

Wow! Can't believe you are leaving in 3 days! The weather here is going to be in the 50s and rainy so come on, the 80s will be good for your soul! And so will Disney

 

[MeMom]

The weather was great for us. It only got hot a couple of times, and it only stayed that way for a short time. We saw rain as we were waiting for the ME bus to take us back to the airport, but not a drop before that.

I hope you guys have an awesome time, and we can't wait to hear all about it and see lots of great pictures!

 

[DisMomAmy]

2 DAYS!!

Well, when you put it that way!

That's good news. And, hey - it's not summer heat!

2 DAYS!!

I'm so excited Amy!! Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. We don't leave until noon on Friday (taking the boys out of school early) so we'll have Friday morning to pack up too.

Good morning Carissa!

Only 2 more days!!!

How excited are you?! I hope things are falling into place and you are feeling ready. Remember when this used to be a CAMPING trip? LOL!

Huh? Who's going camping??

My level of excitement is pretty high right about now. Want me to show you?? I could videotape myself jumping for joy while giggling like a school girl.

I'm feeling ready - well, except for the fact that I still have lots more to do and pack. This is how I do things - the days leading up to the trip I spend lots of time on the Dis fooling around. It helps make the time pass quickly. Then tomorrow and Friday I'll scurry around like a mad woman to get everything accomplished. Works like a charm!

~ Trivia Question and Poll ~​

There are some people out there who love to drag out their trip reports - making them last a year or more in some instances. I'm not naming names or anything.

Let's just say that I'm not one of those people. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing - there are just different types of writers out there. When I get back from a trip I am so anxious to share all of the exciting things that happened with all of you!

So, here is the trivia question (winner will get a prize - what that is - I don't know yet - but don't get too excited ):

How long did it take me to finish my last TR - from the time I got home until I posted the last update??

Now - some of you know the answer to this question because I've mentioned it to you. I only want guesses! Anyone could go back and read my TR and figure it out, but I want guesses. Got it?? (I will give one hint - it didn't take me long. )

I also thought it would be fun to poll everyone - how long do you think it will take me to complete my trip report for this trip? And if you had your way, how often would you like to see an update posted?

Up Next - Sportin' Mickey Toes

Now THAT would be fun!

And who says you're not a planner?? That sounds like a plan to me!!
