Anyone know where I can get Ozone updates for the area? Michael's asthma has flared up I think. Grrrrr!

Weather.com gives all sorts of facts. Here's a link to today and tomorrow's ozone quality:

It must be bad all over today - because I have the worst sinus pressure in my cheekbone. grrr..

Just back from hopefully the last "last minute" shopping!
Of course, that depends on what Bob actually has to wear when he pulls things out tonight!

Dana wanted another pair of swim shorts - so we stopped at sports authority and she found a pair of Crocs that she liked, too! Powder blue clogs - told her she has to wear them around the house for the next three days to break them in! She still plans on wearing her Crocs Capri flip flops most of the time, I think.

We need to go through our clothes and she has to write her graduation thank you's! Today is a busy busy day!

Quick brief update. We did Epcot today, our longest wait was TT and it was an hour. We did Soarin, Figment, Mexico. I think that's all we did but waits weren't bad. When we left Sea was 20 minutes.

Joyce the servings depends on who the chef is. If it's Chef Dick there is plenty but it's the other chef it seems dessert there isn't as much.

I will warn you, any one who touches my shoulders right now might get a very nasty look. I am extremely red and brown.

I will be back later we have Chef Mickey's for dinner at 6.

Thanks Mandy. You deserve a good pat on the back for all your hard work!

Hello everyone!! Only 4 more days for us!! My sister called today and told me that to thank us for helping her paint she is going to give us $100 to have a nice dinner while we are at WDW. Now, I'm trying to decide where we are going to try to eat...she does not "get" Disney so she doesn't realize that you have to make ADRs & make them early for the popular places...where would you all choose? I have Chef Mickey's (2x), Donald's Breakfastasaurus, Boma, LeCellier, Hollywood & Vine, CRT, Tony's, 1900 Park Fare & Ohana already booked. I have tried the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Epcot for the 3 days that we could do it and it is completely booked as I expected. We might just wait until we are down there and decide unless you all have any suggestions that will work with our schedule.

 

[mandy200587]

See if you can get Hoop De Doo. It's amazing food!


DM be glad I'm reporting back. It's pouring the rain right now.

Sonya... are you on the dining plan? If not just use the money towards one of your already booked meals.... you could also use it to buy something special that way you would always have it!!!!! What about using the money for one of the tours... there is the family tour in the MK that sounds like fun. Maggie and I did the Behind the Scenes tour - you need to be 16 for that one and it was great! Here is what allearsnet.com says about the family tour:

Tour the whole family can enjoy is offered at the Magic Kingdom. Family Magic Tour takes you on a one-of-a-kind interactive tour through Main St, Liberty Square, Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. During the 2 hours, you are taken through the park's themed lands in search of clues (like a treasure hunt).Offered daily at 10 a.m. Disney Family Magic Tour is open to everyone.
$27 for adults and children (plus tax) AND Magic Kingdom Park Admission.
SPECIAL NOTE: - The Special Character at the end of the tour does vary.

There is also:Mickey's Magical Milestones in the Magic Kingdom

Wow - I hope the lines are as quick when we arrive.....

I hope your sunburn gets better soon

If you happen to know someone who worked/works for General Motors you can enter thru a special door and walk right up to the ride... its very cool... upstairs there is a lounge with free beverages.... my parents are both retired from GM so we always get to use this little benefit.... its a great place to go on a hot day... free refreshments and no wait in line... what could be better!!!!!

 

[mandy200587]

I do too, we're doing AK Saturday.

Sunburn is better, I put something on it.

New pictures are up in my sig. I actually have a few in there of me.

Laura: Is Chris still "on schedule" with the pool? Hope so - it would be a bummer to be having that hang over his head on vacation!

Yes, he has been working his butt off, but he has gottn back on schedule. He seems OK so we should be in good shape.

I, on the other hand, had to spend the day dealing with Oblivia for 10 hours. Without going into all of the details, suffice it to say, I am SO in need of a vacation!

 

[mandy200587]

Aww Laura I'm sorry.

When I was a kid we used to be able to do that at Horizons because my uncle worked for GE. It was pretty cool.

So can I just walk up to Test Track and say I know Wendy and they'll let me right in?

 

[wendygrace]

Mandy, I hope that sunburn gets better soon and thanks for the pics. My kids loved looking at them.

So sorry to hear that the Oblivia trip wasn't all sunshine and roses. One vacation, coming up!

I'm in a bad mood today. I am so upset with my mother I could spit. I soooo need a vacation!

 

[mandy200587]

Hey just keep checking every night and I'll have them updated hopefully.

Tomorrow we don't know during the day what we are doing but at night we're doing Hoop De Doo.

 

[LizAgna]

When Paul came home from work today he told me that he told his boss that we were planning on leaving 1st thing Friday morning and his boss didn't have a problem with that!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! So hopefully we will be able to get away around 6am...that way we can be there by mid afternoon...have dinner at the Pop Food Court, swim and then get to bed in time to be up bright and early on Saturday morning for our day at MK!!!

Wendy - We are on the dining plan but we could always eat another great meal at WDW for free!! I don't think we could do any of the tours because Alyssa is just turning 4.

I think we have decided on Crystal Palace...we have never eaten there & we have heard so many good things about it! Besides we have never had our pictures made with Piglet!!

I cleared all of the memory cards for the digital cameras tonight so they are ready to pack. Now I'm feeling the pressure to really pack since we are going to be able to leave early Friday!!

We went to TGI Fridays for dinner tonight because it is the twins birthday tomorrow. They are going to be four. It makes me kind of sad that they are getting big so fast, but Disney is going to be so fun with them this year. I have been reading them this book I got at DTD the other day. It is called Mickey and Disney Bear Go to Magic Kingdom. If any of you have never seen this book, you have to get it. It is adorable. The twins love it. I have been reading it to them over and over. My 8 year old even liked it.

I have started packing. I got my older boys all done. I started on the twins too. I have their extra clothes for each day ready to go in the gallon size Ziploc bag. (Thanks to Kari for that tip)

I don't have to pack any socks this year since we are all wearing Crocs.

I am doing a lot better this year. I am a bit obsessive about packing and have to check and check and re-check to make sure I am not forgetting anything. I need to make a master list of things to pack and just use the same list every year.

Game plan for today is finish Epcot, then do DTD.

All I have to say is meouch my shoulders and chest hurt so bad from where I have no muscle or anything from my sunburn.

 

[Crazy Kanga]

How's the weather been? I see that today they are saying 60% chance of rain. Also predicting 60% for Thursday . Hope it doesn't rain on our cruise.
