Sounds like everything has fallen into place for you!! I love the last few days excitement!! It just makes you feel so alive!! Of course we are still good for the 26th!!! I pm'd you back and gave you my cell number too just in case. Sorry I was so late to reply...DD was bitten by a bug of some sort and had a bad reaction to it...her whole foot swole up and she couldn't wear any shoes....poor thing! The swelling is now almost gone, but it is still red, sore, itchy and burning she says. I felt so bad for her! At least she is up and around on it now!

Happy packing!!

Got your pm...thanks!!! I wonder what kind of bug it was, I got bit by a wolf spider at camp one year and that was horrid. I hope your darling is feeling better soon

Ok my friend, I am off to pack...gosh I love the sound of that!!!!

Can you tell by the time of my post I couldn't sleep last night? I have been up since 5am but I think if I got 2 hours sleep that's about it. I kept looking at the clock to see how close Peg and her family were to being picked up...what is up with that. I think I'll take a sleeping pill tonight, can't go 2 nights in a row like that.....Peg may hurt me

Snakes on a Plane....you are too funny my friend....but we both know there is truth in what you speak

Why aren't you sleeping? I know you're excited, but girl, you need your sleep. Quit worrying about what's not done. Anything you forget to get can be got there... you know we do have stores here in America... even in Orlando.

Well my friends, I just heard Peg's plane take off....now I can track them on the computer I told her that if there was a south wind this morning that I would be in my front yard taking a picture of them taking off....no such luck....north wind....so all I hear is the rev of the engines as they begin to hurtle down the runway.....

We all met for dinner at The Keg (steakhouse) last evening just to go over any last minute planning and because we won't see each other for 2 whole days I pretty muched begged Peg to go to the Keg as Lobsterfest is on...we have really made it a tradition to go to the Keg the night before we leave. Thomas came to our house around 530 as we were leaving at 6 to meet the rest of the crew. Geodoc had gotten there first from work so we had maybe a 10 minute wait by the time we got there. Thomas has only been to this restaurant once so he followed Geodoc's lead and ordered the prime rib. I, of course, had steak with lobster and shrimp in a beautiful buttery sauce poured over it. I decided though, since Thomas has never had lobster,(foreshadowing here) that I would order an appetizer of lobster gratineau (sp?) if was lobster in butter and garlic and heavenly. I shared with Thomas and Jasmine and about 10 minutes later he looks at me and says I don't feel very good, my throat feels funny I said are you joking or are you serious...at this point I can tell by the fear in his eyes he's not joking. I then realize I don't have my epi-pen, I put it in my carry on (Peg will never let me live this one down). I looked at Geodoc and bless him he took right over. He took him outside as the lighting in the restaurant is very dim...poor Jasmine was beside herself....then Peg gets up and leaves too(she's a nurse so really he had a doctor and a nurse) I can tell you at this point I want to vomit. I had vision of being in emergency all evening and having to call his parents To make a long story short, once he was outside and had some fresh air he seemed to perk up. He said all of a sudden he got really clammy, hot, and felt like he was going to vomit...We also decided he will not eat shellfish again until tested for allergies. We're not sure if it was the lobster but we're not taking any chances. Until that boy went home at midnight I kept a very close eye on him.

Mini Montana lost her first tooth yesterday....too funny. Her daddy asked her if she wanted the tooth fairy to come last night or tonight when they were in Disneyworld...she picked tonight without fail

They had their plane seating arrangements all made...Snow White will sit with Peg from Winnipeg to Toronto then she'll sit with her daddy from Toronto to Orlando and Mini Montana of course will do the opposite. I think Snow is just so happy she doesn't have to fly with us that she would sit on the wing.

Jasmine works today so my mission today is to get her fully packed. I have some last minute cleaning to do around the house between today and tomorrow so will have lots to keep me busy. Last year I had everything done 2 days before we left and it made for very long days waiting to leave.

Hopefully I will get on here tomorrow morning or maybe in the middle of the night on Sunday/Monday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend....I'm off to see where Peg's plane is on the flight tracker....

Queen, I missed Peg's send-off -- will you tell her that I hope they have a fabulous trip? You leave Sunday or Monday? Anyway, I hope you and Jasmine have an absolutely wonderful time -- I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

 

[Queenofallthings]

That's a good question, I really have no idea I think by getting up this early I will definitely sleep tonight Here's hoping....I have this weird obsession that my house has to be perfectly clean before I go on holidays....it looks like a tornado hit it when we returned with the laundry everywhere....but you're right...it will give me yet another excuse to shop

Hey CP, I will definitely give Peg and her family your warm wishes....We leave Monday morning...it's getting really real now.....Thank you and we'll have tons and tons to share when we're home I hope you enjoy your weekend

Well my toes and hands are officially ready to take on WDW Went for my manicure and pedicure at 9am this morning, stopped to grab a Timmies along the way, and man did it feel good. My BF Brenda lives 2 minutes from the spa so I went there after to see them before we leave. I haven't seen her since Wed at her mom's funeral and we really didn't have a chance to talk that evening.

It was so nice to see her, of course we had our moments of tears, she was second guessing her decision of cancelling the trip and I assured her she has done the right thing, I really don't think she would do well. I told her one year her and I are going to go down when all the Christmas decorations are up, - we're both nuts about Christmas.

Got home and finished up the laundry, the only thing I have left is to do all the bedding tomorrow so when we get home it will be fresh and all the towels still need to be done, other than that, just strictly throwing our cloths into the suitcases and we're good to go

Jasmine is going to a movie with a couple of her girlfriends tonight and I believe home for an early night as she needs to work tomorrow too. She works until 630, Thomas will pick her up and we have a movie night planned. Should help pass the time. Jasmine and I usually start showering and getting ready about 130am so we're ready to leave the house at 4am.

I hope I hear from Peg tonight...I know they had ADR's at T-Rex at I believe 445pm - hey, maybe she's post here tonight

 

[Shir Kahn]

Well, we're back from our trip and I just wanted to say that I hope you all have a great trip! Eat some Dole Whips for me, as I definitely didn't get enough of them!

Thank you so much!!! So happy you got home safe and sound, can't wait for your TR we'll have tons of catching up to do when we get home.

I promise you I will have some Dole Whips....just saying those words puts a smile on my face.

What a beautiful sight when your ticket reads one day until your vacation. I had a horrid sleep again last evening....ughhh....too excited I guess, maybe I'll squeeze in a nap while Jasmine is at work.

I called Peg and family last night as I was dying to hear how the flights and check in went. Peg had wandered to the main building so I chatted with Geodoc who told me it was a good thing we didn't fly down with them as it was pretty turbulent between Winnipeg and Toronto I'm keeping my fingers crossed about our flight. Winnipeg is showing clear skies and light winds for the morning, but Toronto looks like it could be ugly, hopefully that will be later in the day.

I called back at 8pm EST and chatted with Peg for about a half an hour. I asked if she was a good Diser and took pictures of the rooms before they started "living" in them....of course she did She said our suite is gorgeous, we're on the fourth floor overlooking the golf course in the Grandstand section right around the corner from the pool. She said we have a great location for our room

Well friends, it is now 737am CST so I best finish my coffee and get some stuff done. I want all Jasmine's stuff finished before she heads out to work...first time ever she wanted to see what I packed I say if she was that concerned she would have been home last evening and not to a movie with her girlfriends!!

Just dropped in to say HAVE AN AWESOME TRIP, all of you!!!! I can't wait to read about your incredible wonderful Disney adventure!!

Hi to all my Dis friends, we're here and having a great relaxing time. A few problems with our room ressies and now the garden grocer order hasn't shown up so I really need to get on the phone to them (don't have a cow Queen, I'm on it!)

Had a character breakfast that was so fun this morning and have spent the afternoon waiting for GG and putting our clothes away.

Now I can relax, everything is where it should be until we need to repack for AKL but that isn't til Sat.

Well I'd better run and check on that GG, wish me luck!

Talk again soon.

Oh, I see how it is.... Now that y'all can do the DVC thing, you've migrated right out of my social class. Overlooking the golf course indeed!!! Guess what we peons are gonna do with the golf balls? No, that's not shattering glass you hear.... it's um... it's um......

/me ducking and running fast

Oh good! It's nice to hear that even the "beautiful people" have problems now and again.

/me running again

Hey... now that y'all are DVCers have you looked into the Owners Locker thing? It's a great idea -- you get to store the stuff that you always have to pack like shampoo and stuff. You know.... stuff that won't go bad by the time you get back there. And from what I hear their website is fantastic and shows you an inventory of what you have in your locker (because you'll definitely have forgotten in a year). I'm not affiliated with them or anything.... I just think it's a great idea (and wish I'd come up with it!).

Y'all have a great time! Can't wait to hear more. Where are the pictures?

Don't worry Hypermommy, I haven't changed a bit, golf course or not I would rather stare at World of Disney and dream of what I can buy

I'll get right on Peg when we get there, what's this no picture thing? See what happens when I'm not around for the first 2 days of the trip, everything falls apart, no pics, no garden grocers order.....

Hey, as you can see by the time that I am posting this....not much sleep happening in this household tonight. I am showered and ready to head to the airport....Jasmine has just gotten out of the shower and is in the process of beautifing....target time to leave is 345am....I need my coffee and bagel before we get on the plane

 

[Hypermommy]

Don't worry, Queen. Knowing Peg, if there's a problem she'll offer up one of the children as a sacrifice.

Best wishes for your flight. Don't know if you'll get this before or after so right now i'm hoping everything goes well and if you get it later I'm hoping everything went well.

And see.... I'm even gonna be nice and not talk about planes. You don't know how this is physically hurting me though. Hope you can guess what I'm giving up for our friendship here.
