I wish I could spend the day planning. I have so much work to do. I just have to focus here.

I think I will get alot of planning done in the car. It's an 11-hour trip, and we just added a 1-hour stop. Maybe I'll post about that stop in my PTR tonight when I am procrastinating about packing.

3 days!!!!

Can you beLEIVE it?!?!?!?!?!

I'm going to need one of those bags from Mission: Space for IASW. I don't know how I'm going to be able to keep my lunch down.

I found it on Steve Soares site. It's the castle light show before park closing. I just found out about it a month ago. There are clips of it on YouTube.

81 days will fly by. When you're about to leave, I'll be suffering in school

I'm not sure yet about the ME tip.

While you're driving to Memphis on Friday, I'll be home DISing

I can't believe it's almost time!!!

I will be DISing on the drive. My computer has a wi-fi card.

***I must stay away from the HSM show. It will cause anaphylaxis. I will need to use my Epipen. I am allergic to mango, carrots, and annoying pre-teen stage shows.***

Took me a few mins to figure out what HSM was, then to figure out why you were allergic. I thought maybe they sprayed some mango and carrot scent during the show.
But then, I got it. My sense of humor is not as quick as yours!

I will say, if you see us, you may want to avoid us. Katie and Caitlin already act like a pre-teen roadshow, and I am afraid that once the Mickey Fever hits them, it will get worse, not better. Besides, they are already planning to play all of those elevator games.

Do they still have the elevators at the Seas? They may play some there. Oh, and in Haunted Mansion in the expanding room!

This is going to be fun!

Can you DIS in the car? I can't read in the car. I get sick.

I don't think I could stomach HSM.

You need to photograph people's faces as they play those elevator games.

I ordered the white chocolate slipper dessert for our dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table. The CM described it as a white chocolate slipper filled with dark chocolate mousse on top of sponge cake with berries. Yum!!!

Honestly, what more could you want...maybe some caramel, but I don't know where.
