Yep, the free breakfast was a selling point and the fact that it started early enough for us to take advantage of it was good. But honestly, I always feel sick the morning of a flight. I am not scared to fly...in fact I love flying...but my tummy doesn't. I probably won't be able to eat a thing for the first few hours anyway. But maybe we can grab some muffins to eat on the plane or something. Airport food is crazy expensive!

One week from right now we will be there!!! Probably gonna stick with my original plan of hitting DTD and EoS for lunch as soon as we get there (hopefully after dropping our stuff off at the room). Then browse around DTD a bit and around 2 head over to MK to do a quick walk through Main Street before heading over via monorail to Epcot. We will tour the World Showcase and have dinner at Via Napoli at 7. Then hopefully get out in time to hop back over to MK to watch the Electric Parade and maybe hit a few rides before calling it a night.

Yay! So excited

Since I'm having such a hard time keeping up on the DIS (I finally updated my PTR this week), I wanted to pop in here and I see that you are just a week away.

In case I don't get back again (we're meeting with the Nursing Home/Doctor tomorrow), please be sure to send me a PM with the link to your TR because I don't want to miss it. And have a MAGICAL time.

I will Kathy, if I do one.... I am actually toying with the idea of not taking that many pictures. I am glad to share this with my cousin, but since my little guy won't be there, I don't feel the need to carry the camera around so much. I think it would be much more fun for me if I didn't stress about taking pictures. Maybe I'll do a dining report instead. Much easier to just take pictures of my food We'll see.

Good luck with the doctor! Thinking of you guys

Big weekend ahead. Lots of and packing for this little girl! I have almost a whole suitcase devoted to cooling products (fans, cooling cloths, water bottles, etc).

Tonight my mom and I are heading down to Ogunquit to the theater to see South Pacific. My mom's birthday is the week I get back and I didn't want to have to rush around getting a gift for her, so I got tickets to see her favorite show. It should be a great time.

And tomorrow I think I am getting a new car! I have almost 100,000 miles on my Santa Fe and it is making some expensive sounding noises. Time to trade Since I work at a "dealership" I can get good deals...just been waiting for the right deal to come along. I think we've found one. My boss is going to call on it tomorrow morning. Cross your fingers for me....I have been waiting almost a month for this! I would really like to have one before I leave on vacation because those extra miles down to the airport and back will put me over 100,000 and that will lower my trade in value.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Have fun at the theater (I miss doing that).

And sending lots of for the new car. How fun.

 

[DMGeurts]

Oooh - have fun at the show!!!

Thanks. It was a good show. I had never been to Ogunquit before and it is a really cute little seacoast town. Looked like lots of fun shops and cafes to try sometime.

I like car shopping when I don't have to go from lot to lot and talk to a hundred different sales people, finance people, managers, etc. It's so much easier being at a dealership. Usually I just tell my boss what I want and he gets it either at an auction or another dealer if we don't have it on the lot. But lately we have been having major money troubles and it's not so easy for him to just write a $20,000 check on a whim. So we have had to really look for a good deal. We'll see if this one works. He was going to call on it today and let me know.

Oooh - have fun at the show!!!

We did have a good time. South Pacific is a great show even at our local highschool, so it was incredible on a "professional" stage.

The car we are calling about today is a 2010 Ford Taurus with only 32,000 miles. It is beautiful. I don't really car what I end up with. I have narrowed it down to a Chevy Malibu (the new style is really nice. Had one in 08), a Toyota Camry, Chevy Impala, or Ford Taurus. Just want a mid-large sized 4dr sedan in a light color with lighter interior. I'm not picky, it's just been hard to find one at a place my boss can deal with. If this Taurus doesn't work out I will wait until we get back and get a Malibu instead. Fingers crossed though because this Taurus is a really nice one!

Off to start the laundry...

[bigsis1970]

OH MY GOODNESS 2 days!!!! Yay!!!! I hope you have a wonderful trip if I don't get back here before you leave!

I hope your boss can find you a new car - I have a 2001 Cavilier I bought the summer of 2000 and it now has 212,000 miles on it.. I am soo lucky she is still running and running well.. because we have no money and no credit to get a new one!!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Hi Liddy I downloaded the DIS app to my phone, so I plan to do some live updates if I can figure it out. And I plan to take my netbook with me to make it easier....just never used their wifi, so I will have to figure that out.

212,000! Wow! Congrats...thats gotta be some kind of record for a Cavalier The credit union we use has some INCREDIBLE rates right now. I got 1.99% on mine....that is crazy, like new rates not used. And good credit isn't as bad as it used to be, there are plenty of banks willing to deal these days.

Glad to hear so many UPs going on since you've hard some hard times!!!
Couple of more days and your playing with the mouse and a NEW CAR!!! Congrats!!!

Yay! Thanks so much. I'm a little nervous about leaving my new car at the parking garage for the week. Not because I think someone will break into it, but because I'm afraid I won't recognize it when I get back I'll probably still be looking for my Santa Fe!

2 DAYS!!!!! WHOOT!!!! Super excited for yoU!!!!

D~

Me too D! Thanks Can't wait to try my Squishy out!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Wow! Talk about late to the party ... but I am here. I didn't want to comment until I had actually read the whole thing. I have officially read it from start to finish now.

You and Dani are going to have such a great time! I am so jealous of the comments referring to hopping from place to place...with a husband and three children in tow, hopping from DTD to Epcot to MK in one day would be a nightmare! One of these days I will have a trip with just one other person and it will be HEAVEN!

I can't wait to follow your live updates...I am subscribed now!

HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!!!

Yay! Oopsi's here!

Well, the whole hopping thing sounds great and all, but we will see how it works in real life. That was a big factor in my picking the Poly at first....not only do I love that resort, but the ease of transportation would make the whole hopping around thing much easier. But I really wanted to try FQ, and I know we will be happy there. Just will take longer with the buses vs monorail/boat.

I can't wait to follow your live updates...I am subscribed now!

HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!!!

I will try to do live updates. Should I do them on here, the PTR?? Or do people do them at the start of the TR?


So oopsi, you inspired me with your Princess and the Frog movie night. I have downloaded that movie to my Kindle Fire for our in flight movie It should do a good job of getting us in the mood for the FQ. Yay! Can't wait. Just waiting for my boss to get done talking to this customer in his office, then I'm gonna head out. Gotta do some last minute packing and then get Dani's stuff all loaded into my suitcases. Hoping to be on the road by 3 at the latest.

 

[bigsis1970]

Yay Suzi only one day left !!!!! I am sure you and Dani will have a sleepless night -- Have a blast and can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

 

[Corrine 1973]

I followed you over from oopsi's TR and had to read all 16 pages. I know I am late to the party, but it's better than nothing. You guys are going to have a great time. I can't wait to read your TR when you get back. I was lucky enough to be at POFQ in March (at same time with D) and absolutly loved. I loved it so much that I have booked it again for the trip with my DD next May. I am sure you will love it as well. The pic on your spreed sheet of POFQ just after rain is my screen saver. I love that Pic.

Have fun on your trip.

 

[DMGeurts]

The Princess and the Frog will be the PERFECT movie to get you in the mood for POFQ!

I think you should do live updates on FB, it's the easiest.

Have a great trip tomorrow - I'll be thinkin' of you all day!!! It's gonna be amazing!!!

D~

Have a wonderful and magical trip.
