celebrating my 40th at the World

[joy13]

It's so close! I can't wait to hear if you get your room request - if you do yu need to post how you worded it

Here is the fax I sent. I took out all personal info, but it gives you the idea. This is almost the exact one I sent last year, only adding or taking away any important info needed. We got exactly what we asked for last year, so hopefully it works again.

Attention Room Assigner

Hello from Ohio! Brrrr!

I would just like re-confirm our reservation and see if you could possibly accommodate our room requests.
Our Reservation number is xxxxxxx. We are booked for March 8 -14, (celebrating my 40th birthday!). There are 3 of us, daddy X, mommy x, and baby x (4 years old). We would really appreciate if we can get first floor (because we have a stroller and hate to hassle with elevators), poolside ( because Claire is quite the swimmer), and 60’s section ( because Claire loves the Jungle book),

If you have any questions my home phone is xxx-xxx-xxxx. My cell is xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Our home address is
wonderfully cold OH!

Thanks you for your time and consideration. We are excited to be seeing you all soon!

Jennifer

For anyone bored here is my short dining reveiw from last year. I didn;t take alot of food pictures. I did the year before and gave it a rest last year. I am trying to find my trip report from last year, but no go on that one so far. I'm pretty sure I wrote one, but maybe I didn't? LOL!

And here is the one from 2007.
When I look at them, they aren't the greatest. I will have to take a bunch of food pics this year.

I still can't find the trip report, so maybe I never wrote one here? I swore I did. I know I wrote one on the family board I belong to, but I thought I posted the same one here.
It was pretty detailed to. Oh well, if I stumble on it, I'll post the link.
If not, then I'll write a super terrific one this year! LOL!

 

[jenseib]

I decide to copy and paste my old trip report to the trip report board...LOL! Yes I am a loser...but I figure it wil lget me in the mood for our trip and relive what we did last year. So here's the link. I just started it.

Very politely worded request.

I didn't do one; but I did ask my travel agent to put it on the ressie that I didn't want Building 7. I made a decision that I'll be fine whereever they place me.

Is your packing done?

I still haven't started mine. LOL!! I did do the travel items, just not the clothes. I'm still roadtesting a few items.

I did do the online resort check-in, but it didn't do much. You can't write it any room requests. But it was fun.

2 Daaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyssssss!

Woot Woot so close Jen just two more days till you are eating at Cosmic Rays!

I went tanning today. My last tan before the big trip (i'm busy tonmorrow)!
I also picked up a new set of rechargable batteries and charger, since the two chargers I have, seem just not to work right.
This one is awesome (knock on wood) It is supposed to cvharge in 15 minutes and it is FAST. Everything is charged now, and I packed the charger in my camera bag. (I have a backpack for my camera equiptment.
I cleaned my car our (it is 65 degrees today! ), so it's fres for our trip to the airport. Maybe I'll even wash it tomorrow. LOL!
Also went outside and took down the Christmas decorations. Most have been blown over from the wind, but ti's been so awful out, I just never went to get them picked up. I just didn't pull the lights down, because I need a ladder for that. That nice air was so wonderful. It's a little windy, but it's not that cold wind we've been having. I fell prepared for FL now~!
Tomorrow I go to lunch with some girlfriends. So that will keep me settled for awhile.
But the time is really ticking slow now! I still need to walk 3 1/2 miles to reach my goal too!

Thanks. I'l be sure to get started on the trip report (and post the link here) as soon as I can. I'll have to get pics uploaded first, and then start writing. I usually start loading pics right away!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Love ya, tomorrow! You're only a day away!

YAY! I have very little to do. But I am home all day, so I have nothing better to do than drool over Disney. LOL! I have mostly last minute things. I do need to write my sister adress down so I can send my neice a postcard too.

Great pre-trippy! I'm looking forward to pics and a full report when you get back. BTW- that Claire is so darn cute! I love the faces she makes.

Thanks! We love her! She is a card. She is excited because we go to Disney "in one week!" at least that how she sees it. LOL!

I made my goal of losing 3 lbs and walking the 30 miles!
Of course next week I'll probaably walk at least that much or more, and eat horribly! But thats what vacations are for.
We're about to take off and have lunch with some girls I used to work with. So that will take up some time. I was also thinking about the zoo, since Claire has been asking, but it's threatening rain today, so I think we'll skip it.
I just have to go over the suitcases one last time to be sure I'm not forgetting anything.

Oh and remember how I ordered those cell phone batteries, well they came really fast, but were not the ones they said they were. So I sent them back and they refunded me, so I ordered another one from some other ebay seller on Feb 23. They STILL aren't here and I sent them an email. They said they mailed out the 27 (why it took them that long I have no clue), but the english wasn't good, so I looked to see where they were coming from. I AM SO STUPID!!! They are coming from Hong Kong! So I have basically no chance of them getting here by the trip time. I am so mad at myslef. I wish I would've paid attention. I'm also mad that the first ebay seller stated that the battery was the same number and for my model phone and it wasn't. It said it was interchangable with another model, and they aren't. The one they sent was too big for my phone. I am really worried how long my charge will last, and most likely DH and I will be seperated and not find each other. LOL!
Oh well, we'll live.
Ok...gotta run, Claire says she's hungry and it's time to leave for lunch!

 

[jenseib]

Well we are back from lunch. I got a burger. We went to Texas Roadhouse. I have never been there before. I didn't care for the burger at all and brought home half (which will be for DH) LOL! But they have this wonderfull sweet bread and butter that Claire and I both gobbled up. She had two pieces herself. LOL!
She had a bowl of icecream for dessert and only ate half, so of course I had to finish it up for her. LOL!

We stopped off at Old Navey and they had tank tops for $5, so I got 3 for the trip. I had t-shirts packed, but I wanted some tanks too, but none of mine fit that well. Either a bit too small yet (from my skinnier days) or too big (from my heavier days) So I am happy to have found some that fit and that were cheap.
Now we just wait for bedtime. I think I'm gonna try to get Claire to bed in about 3 hours (8). She normally goes at 9, but with the time change tomorrow, I want her to be rested as much as possible. Of course today she slept in till 11. She almost never does that anymore, and she really didn't go to bed much past bedtime last night. So hopefully she'll go down OK tonight.
I am so ready to go. I just want the next several hours to go by fast, and then slwo way down once we get to FL.

Feel free to check out the link to last years trip report I posted a few posts back. There are several pictures in it.

 

[Suellen]

[jenseib]

I put Claire down at a little after 8, but it's now after 9 and I still hear her in her room! I wish she would settle down and go out. It wil lbe better for all of us in the long run! LOL!
