I'm joining in too! We will overlap a little. We are staying at POFQ from the 18-23 First summer trip for me and I am very worried about the heat and crowds

Cute outfits! And I agree...new clothes are always fun, but when you know you are wearing them to Disney it makes them so much more fun! I got a few new shirts that are the athletic/moisture wicking type for the heat

I checked your ADRs and we don't have any that match, but we are also doing the Dessert Party for the first time! Our ressie is for Friday night though

We received our vouchers today!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

And on all the Mickey Mail!!!

Hey guys. Well since we are 15 days away.. I thought it was about time to introduce the cast.

First of all, there's me. Basically I think I am the main reason we are going to WDW so much. Yes, I. Am. Obsessed!

Well I do think it's because of the other 2 people in the My parents. My first trip at WDW was at 2 years old and I guess it sparked something in me. I am a 29 year old high school teacher (still waiting on tenure). My first degree and qualifications are in arts. I am an Art Education Specialist. But it isn't easy finding full-time contracts in that subject. Because of that about 2 years ago I started a second bachelors degree. This time I am doing it in religion. The reason for that is that I am now a: Ethique et culture religieuse teacher. Basically I teach high schoolers about world religions and how to be able to act and think with ethics on different subjects.

This coming school year will mark my second year at a new school and may lead to tenure.

Now back to Disney. I have a lot of favorite characters. I especially like Timon and Mushu.

I think that's all you need to know about me for now.

Here's my favorite WDW picture ever taken. If I remember correctly it was taken in 2007.

And now let me talk about my parents. To respect their privacy I won't say too much. Let's say that they are priceless. As an only child, I will forever be their baby and I am thankful for them. I love these vacations as it lets us reconnect in a world where we don't really have obligations. We don't have things to do on vacation other than be together and enjoy our time.

They, like me, hate to have a schedule on vacation. We only have a schedule when it comes to restaurants and it's not because we really want to. It's because we have to.

My mom is my usual WDW companion. She's come with me during all previous trips. We have a great relationship. We like to hang out and rest. We both love Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney. And we love indulging in WDW. As far as I know her favorite character is the Mouse himself. She's not a big shopper in life, but loves shopping in WDW.

My dad is also a big kid at heart. His favorite character of all is Donald Duck and he does not let us forget about the duck. He spoils me and I am grateful for the support everyday. He's the reason we are going to the Contemporary and on the concierge level. He decided that it's what he wanted to do. So who's to complain right?

In five days I will be able to do the online check-in! Woohoo! How great right! Time's not gonna fly until then though. Aren't these days the longest?

Tell me about it!!

In 2 days= check-in!

And our flight has been changed from 8:30am to 8:05am.

 

[PopArtGal]

I did the online check-in yesterday! Woohoo!

 

[PopArtGal]

Of course I'll be there in 9 days and I'm sick. Some kind of stomach flu I think (stomach cramps, nausea and oh such a bad headache.) Let's hope a few days in bed will help. Any recommendations? I'm getting plenty of fluid and trying to sleep as much as I can.

You are leaving for Disney this weekend! Have a great trip!!!

You are leaving for Disney this weekend! Have a great trip!!!

Thanks!!

Getting really excited!

 

[solana131]

Are you feeling better??

 

[PopArtGal]

Are you feeling better??

Awe thanks for asking.

My stomach is still iffy. So I'm sleeping as much as I can. It might just be my body forcing me to rest after another school year. It always takes a toll on my body.

But I'm not as bad as I was last week end.

I'll just have to play it by ear in wdw and try to stay hydrated and listen to my body.

Well guys, the final prep has started. I might update here a few times as I am bringing my laptop with me for the first time.

I'm hoping to start writing my tr in word and then put it here. We'll see how that goes!

As Mick-M would sayd: See ya real soon!
