April 2010 ABD Backstage Magic : California Here We Come!!!

[Dodie]

It's 75 degrees and sunny here in Indy and I want to be ANYWHERE other than work.

accuweather.com has a 15-day forecast that I often follow when we're planning a WDW trip. I just thought to look at Anaheim's forecast yesterday.

They're calling for some rain and gloom prior to our adventure (I don't like seeing the word "dreary" in a California forecast), but these things usually change significantly as the actual date nears

It's fun thinking that the forecast actually goes out as far as our trip now! Want to follow along?

Okay - this is BIG

Big Big - for DH Dino anyway

Out of the blue - he just texted me that we have a little over

230 hours until our plane leaves for California

I guess he's more excited about this trip than I thought - for the most part he "tolerates" my Disney obsession and him going on this trip was really just to make me happy.

Sometimes he does something like this, something so insignificant but something so sweet that it makes want to cry

I knew you guys would understand

Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a weatherholic. I freely admit that I have the AccuWeather app on my iPhone. Anaheim is one of the cities I have programmed. I check the Anaheim forecast regularly--even when I don't have a trip planned.

I too have our home city, Orlando, and Anaheim on my weather app to keep track of all 3 "homes".

OOOOOOOOOOOOO - wouldn't it be great for ABD to get us into that - I love Guy Fieri

I hope we have time to see Guy. I really enjoy all of his shows.

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

From Disneyland's news site:

Opening weekend features celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the popular television personality and “food dude” who appears on shows such as “Guy’s Big Bite” on the Food Network. Fieri will conduct complimentary food demonstrations on the Festival’s main stage.
“Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival is a great time,” Fieri said. “Of course the kids love Disneyland, but now this is something extra for the adults. It’s incredible chefs, great wines from around the world and Disney. You’re gonna dig it. See you there!”

Also scheduled for later are Cat Cora, Robert Irvine, Jeffrey Saad and Kerry Simon.

We are leaving tonight on an unexpected weekend trip. We got a call on Tuesday that Chris' grandpa is back in the hospital in Winnipeg. After some scrambling last night we managed to get flights, car and hotel booked so off we go.

We will not be in chat tonight (unless I can get a connection at the airport!), so if there is anything newsworthy please post it here!!

Please send good thoughts, pixie dust and prayers our way!!

 

[safetymom]

Tracey, sending prayers and pixie dust for Grandpa.

Tracey, good thoughts to you and Chris.

Happy 12-days-to-go folks!

I'm there - I've been checking the weather daily for a few weeks now, looking to see what temp it will be when we gather, how hot it will be by lunch, etc.

Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a weatherholic. I freely admit that I have the AccuWeather app on my iPhone. Anaheim is one of the cities I have programmed. I check the Anaheim forecast regularly--even when I don't have a trip planned.

DH is the weatherholic, often going into elaborate explanations about fronts and lows I let him go on for a bit, then ask "so are we doing it on Saturday or Sunday?"

But I'll admit I have Anaheim, Orlando and a few others on my weather app too

Please send good thoughts, pixie dust and prayers our way!!

Tracey & Chris - best wishes being sent for Grandpa!


I'm looking fwd to seeing Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

cheers,
