I am!!

We normally stay in condos or rental houses when we vacation and I still have to do all the cooking and cleaning up (dh helps of course but still). This is the first family vacation we've taken where we'll have housekeeping and be eating out for all of our meals. I can hardly wait!

Waiting for Monday is sure going to make this weekend LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG!!!!

Don't I know it!

WOOOOOOT!!!!!

We got FREEEEEEEE DINING!! Still at ASMu, no problems at all keeping our existing reservation!

While I was on the line (after being on hold for nearly and hour! ) I went ahead and purchased our MNSSHP tickcets and gave them our flight info for ME. We are ALL SET!

Later today Karen and I will having an early Cinco de Mayo celebration with The Three Caballeros. I finally got my camera back from Canon so pics will follow.

Thanks Pam! Glad you got yours too! I wonder if the people at Disney can feel the excitement they're spreading today!

I've started reading the beginning of your PTR, but only got through the first few pages so far! Can't wait to read more!

I stayed at ASMu for my first WDW trip last year, and I loved it! I hope your family loves it as well!!!

Oh. My. Goodness!! Crisis averted- I was at Karen's this afternoon for our movie day (pics to follow, I haven't had the chance to go through them yet) and we were talking when I suddenly realized I'd purchased our MNSSHP tickets for the WRONG DAY!!!

I was able to jump on the phone and call to get it switched to the day I wanted but seriously- what was I thinking!?! This is what happens when I try to be productive early in the morning.

I'm just glad it all worked out and I was able to make the change!

WRONG DAY??? HOPE, I AM SHOCKED!!! See what all that "It's a Small World" music can do to your brain...... I'm glad it's all fixed now!

 

[Charlefours]

The Three Caballeros/Mexico

I'm just calling them Disney days at this point because no movies are being watched!

Karen and I met up at the park to walk before we headed over to her house where we had a fiesta!

Thanks to Karen the table looked amazing...

Karen made some yummy enchiladas and I brought chips and salsa...

I also brought lemonade- we had these fun cups left from another Disney day so I decided to get some decorator's sugar and make 'margaritas' for the girls. Karen's margarita shaker and fun stirrers were just the right touch...

They loved that green sugar!

Savannah's corn husk doll and her flower from WDW were great touches to the table, along with Dallas's guitar...

And Karen made another fun activity pack that the girls didn't get to but I'm sure they will at some point! I've started saving some of the pages they don't get to for the plane- I figure it will get us in the mood for Disney and all that printer ink won't go to waste!

After we ate Karen and I headed out to her deck to enjoy the beautiful day while the girls played together. It was another great day!

 

[Charlefours]

another great day as usual!! Love the flower Karen got from WDW--did you get it from the Mexico area in WS?
