I love your blank card for Alex.

I'm going to make myself one for my next vacation. It will say
"MRYPPNS your trip may not go as planned"

"These are the things that you can do to make you feel better"

+ Have a Cocktail
+ Spend large amounts of money in DTD guilt free
+ Have another Cocktail
+ Have as many yummy snacks as you want, calories don't count
+ Throw your plans out the window and sit by the pool with a Cocktail

Even DH got a kick out of this!! And he's not a big fan of the DIS...

Day 1 of DisMomAmy's 10 days of Disney countdown:

So today you get to help me decide on my new font. I want to pick a font and color to use for my trip report. Here's what I've come up with for choices:

Choice Number One

Choice Number Two

Choice Number Three

What do you like best, what's the easiest on your eyes... any combination of font/color is possible. So tell me what you think!

We've decided to return our rental cary on Moday 4/27 after we check-in at CBR. We were going to return it to the Car Care Center, but have decided to turn it in at the Dolphin because our first stop is Epcot!! We're planning to walk to Epcot. The kids will have been in the car all morning so nobody should be too tired for a little walk. I've read it's about a mile and should only take us about 15 minutes. The other option is taking a boat ride to Epcot. If we weren't going to Epcot first, we probably would have used the Car Care Center. This way DH can be there to help us unload our stuff and get settled in enough (if our room is ready) then we can all leave together instead of us waiting for him to come back to meet us. I'll let you know how it works out.

By the way... I'm going to Florida tomorrow!!! It's finally time for this guy...

I love to see that dancin' fool!!! Can you believe your trip is finally here? You've done some awesome planning Amy and your family will have a wonderful time because of it. Now sit back and enjoy!

Oh, font-all good choices. Personally, I prefer the first 2. The yellow is a tad harder to read.

Wow, your list is almost complete. The fish condo cracked me up for some reason. Even the fish get a vacation.

 

[dawnbu40]

YAY!! You are leaving tomorrow! Have a wonderful time with your family!


Looking forward to hearing all about your trip! (As for your color-I don't care for the yellow the other 2 are better)

 

[carissanboys]

You're going to Florida tomorrow?? I had no idea!!

I agree about the colors - first two are great (I also like those fonts). I think a lot about my font and color choices too.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

OMG you are going to Disney tomorrow!!!





Have a great trip Amy!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for ONE DAY!!!

I like the first color and the second font!

 

[MRYPPNS]

I like font/color choice #1, followed by #2

I think you have a great plan for the rental car. I think the boys will do fine on the walk over to Epcot because there will be plently of different things for them to look at along the way.
Here's a tip.....if you end up really needing lunch about the same time that you are returning the car there is a restaurant in the Dolphin called the Fountain.....from what I've read it's like Beaches and Cream. (It was only our back-up list for 2008)

Have a wonderful and safe trip and I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

PS: My baby should be here before you get home.....they might induce me next week.

[Charleston Princess]

Have a wonderfully magical vacation hanging out with the pirates at CBR and visiting our favorite place! I can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Thanks for your well wishes everyone!! I have almost everything finished up, just waiting for the last load of laundry to finish up. Everything is plugged in and charging up - house is clean (as good as it gets) and kids are asleep with clothes layed out for morning. I checked in with JetBlue & Alamo. Just have to go organize my two carry on bags while I wait for the clothes.

Carissa - remember that email you said I should have received to do the online Disney check-in? Got it today...

Have a great week everyone!! DH is bringing his laptop so I'll do a live update or two if I have a chance.

Heidi - I hope to find a baby picture (or at least news of a little baby girl) during my trip or when I return!!

Are you serious?? Wonder what happened there as it's suppose to arrive 10 days early I believe.

Have a fabulous time Amy!! Can't wait for a live update.

[mousescrapper]

Hope you are having fun! Miss you

 

[DisMomAmy]

I'm back!!! We had a great time!! There were some good surprises and some bad ones too... can't wait to tell you all about it. I have to get the first batch of photos off DH's laptop and download the second batch from the camera. Plus I have to do the photopass thing. I did a share - I'm the last person to get back so I hope to have my CD soon.

Sorry no live updates... we only turned the laptop on twice - once to download pictures (and I wasn't in the room) and again last night to resolve a little crisis...
