Getting a divorce - have been living w/my parents since November and will be moving to a little rental house down the street next month. Very excited to start over!

Sorry to hear that, but maybe we can get the girls together sometime. My girls would love to see little Aubree again!

Hey Susie, sorry I've been slacking, been a little busy obsessing over our schedule and ADR's, now that those are secure I am SO excited for your upcoming trip, can't believe you are FIVE DAYS AWAY!!!
As for the above.
Love the Swiss Family Treehouse, but we have never spent as much time as I wish we would.
We really enjoyed Tom Sawyers Island, such fun. Be sure to try and find a paintbrush!!! We had friends who found one! We've visited the princesses in toontown, this year can't wait to meet the fairies!!!

For Epcot: we did lunch at Askershus and had a great time, been to lunch and dinner, not breakfast, hope it is yummy and you get to see all the lovely ladies you guys desire : ) Kidcot stops Lauren LOVES, Luke just isn't too into the coloring, etc. hope Ty loves it. Can't wait for you guys to do Kim Possible and post info about it, Luke REALLY wants to do this. Can't wait to see all your Flower and Garden pics.

Toy Story Mania was our FAVORITE!!! Get FP's upon arrival, those babies go FAST and the line is RIDICULOUSLY long (as I'm SURE you have heard) Luke loves Indiana Jones, can't wait for Ty's reaction. Lauren is so thrilled about American Idol so I can't wait to see, are you going to audition??? I SO HOPE YOU DO!!!! If you do, I expect video!!!

For AK, for the Tusker house lunch are you doing the nemo package thingy with the seats for Nemo?? Can't wait to see this for our first time coming up! We've done the breakfast, never the lunch, hope it's yummy!

DTD: Can't wait to hear all about T Rex, we're trying that when we go, hope it is as cool as it looks.

GREAT PLANS, can't wait to live vicariously through you very soon!

Thanks for all of your thoughts, Lesley! Yes, I DO plan on auditioning for Idol. I'll probably take in a show or two first, to get a feel for it, then jump in and audition.

We really don't have a lot of ADRs on this trip. We really wanted it to be about 'go with the flow' for us. We are planning on eating A LOT in our villa and doing mostly counter service. So Tusker House will be 'on the fly'... no Nemo special seating. Besides, there's really not a bad seat in the house for that show! (Except for in the front section right next to the ramp!)

I can't wait to take pictures and notes of everything so I can share it all when I get back! Of course, when we return, it'll be all about the end-of -the-year school crunch So my TR might become a special summer edition. I'll try to get it up before YOU guys leave!

 

[Sooze]

It's the 5 DAY DANCE!!!!!!​

3 more days of this:
One day of this:
and 15 hours of this:

Then 7 days of this:



Thanks for letting me get that off of my chest!

It's been REALLY busy around here. I don't think I'll EVER be ready to go in 5 days... but I guess I'll have to!

 

[Sooze]

What songs do you think I should sing for American Idol auditions?! I heard in the first round, you sing whatever you want!!

I have some ideas... just wondering if you guys could spark something else!!

 

[ncsjodi]

Can I ride in your trunk please, Sooze???? I'm really ready for a vacation! Of course, our spring break up here in Fishers isn't for another week, but I'd be willing to leave my family for the week!

Actually, We could use you in the back seat, right in between Tyson and Shaelyn. You could be the peacemaker any time the two of them start to pester each other! You could also be in charge of refilling Shae's sippy cup anytime she asks. Interested?

Uhhhhh..... let me think about it..................

I'll have to go with "no". Sorry, I've got enough kid drama of my own! Vacation is supposed to be relaxing, right?

Oh well, I'll have to wait until October for my solo trip!

 

[dddisrunner]

OMG! 5 days how cool!!!! I was hoping you were going to audition for Idol. I think you will do great! I would pick something that you already know REALLY well and know that you sound good singing...that way if you get nervous it won't be too hard to remember! Just a thought!!

 

[lovethecastle]

5 days-how cool. If I don't get back to post- Have fun. Enjoy doing american
idol. Don't you do musicals on stage? Maybe you could choose a show tune that you do well.
Thanks for the info about the driving. I don't think I could do it, wish i could.
take care

Good advice, thanks! Down to 3 days now!

I know.. I'm really looking forward to the AI thing.. even if I end up just being an audience member for the week! I have lots of show tunes.. and TONS of Disney stuff that I know well.. but was wondering if I should go for a more "pop" or "current" song!

 

[bidnow5]

I don't know what kind of music you like but I enjoy it more when it's an upbeat lively song. Something the audience can get into

Yes, I agree! As much as I LOVE to sing "Part of Your World", I'm sure most of the audience would rather get run over by a Disney Bus than hear that song again!!

 

[ncsjodi]

I think you should get your Hannah Montana wig out and sing "Best of Both Worlds"! Or something from one of the HSM movies....


Just shoot me now!!!

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Susie, I don't have a song suggestion for you, but I know whatever you decide to sing, you will be amazing! Have fun!!!

I can't believe it's almost time for you to leave again! Yay!
