[DisMomAmy]

What a funny dream!

Happy less than 54 hours!

 

[DreaGirl]

I vote surf and turf!

That is a crazy dream! You know you think about Disney too much when you start dreaming about it.

 

[MegansMom]

Weird dream, but just think how soon you will be dreaming in WDW!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh......I'm sure that fixed you right up!

 

[belle8306]

Someday I would like to go to Rose and Crown. I am not sure what is in Yorkshire pudding but it looks good! I would go with option #2. I am sorry that you had a weird dream. It seams like I start having strange dreams before vacation. I think it is just all of the anticipation.

 

[MeMom]

I have weird dreams like that, too, sometimes when there's something exciting or stressful coming along. Try to relax and ride these next two days out as best you can.

We are all so excited for you and are looking forward to keeping up with you from home. You are going to have a great time, and I am among many who will be with you in spirit the entire time.

If I fail to get back here before you take off, I wish for you guys a wonderful, fabulous, awesome, incredible trip!

 

[MEK]

FWIW - I am going with the surf n turf in May. I hope you try it now so I can get a preview!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Your trip is almost here!!! So exciting. Sorry about the stressful dream... that's an "occupational" hazard of being a DIS'er, I think. We take our trips seriously!!!

I hope to be online to check in again tomorrow night but just in case I'm not, I'll take this opportunity to wish you both the most magical, blister-free, warm (but not too warm) vacation ever. As always, please take lot of pictures, make lots of tweets/FB updates, and have some champagne for me!

 

[gellybean]

Just wanted to say have a fabulous trip if I don't get a chance to get on the boards between now and the time you guys leaves!!!!


I'll be on the lookout for you two !!

No pain, and no rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Have a great trip, Jen and Leslie!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Christmas in a cup doesn't sound at all appetizing to me.

Pffft...Ebenezer LL Scrooge...You will just miss out on happiness in a cup...I hope Jen enjoys her Chai...

Yum on yorkshire pudding...hmmm...I hope you take lots of photos htere...I haven't eaten there in way too long...


That was a wierd dream...that's just your subconsiousness dealing with your stress..but it will all be good and you will be blissed out in less than 3 days now...

 

[Lady Lallie]

Woo hoo for 54 hours!!!

What a horrible dream!

Go with the Surf and Turf -- that sounds good!!!

It really was a horrible dream.

Your "Disney stress" dream sounds SO much like the stuff I have been dreaming. TOO funny!!! We are SO CLOSE- and the weather there is supposed to be awesome!

I can't wait. I am so ready to go!

First of all with the weather looking like it is, I have decided not to pack my cuddledud pants at all...however I will be bringing the shirt because they look very nice for the layered look I'm going for!!

So tonight is packing night...wish me luck guys!! I have my list and my laundry is done...I do want to hit up Publix and one more store before I pack but we'll see how I'm doing on time when I get home tonight!!!

EWWW...what a yucky dream...missing TSM that would be no fun at all!! I can't wait until we ride that together again...such a fun ride!!!!!

I never want to hear the word packing again. Oh wait....I'm moving in two months.

Leslie- Eeks..I'd do the same thing if I were in your situation!

Jen- Woohoo for packing! I have a feeling I'll be packed and ready a month before we go 'cause we're just that excited!

I'm excited for your trip too!

Yay for 3 days

You can each order something different from Rose and Crown and split it. That way you get to try two different entrees.

Thank goodness your dream was just that, a dream!

Thank goodness!

I find it really ironic about your dream, because I was getting ready to comment about work pants!

I really can't stand wearing anything work related on vacation. I keep the work and casual part of my life so separate that it's extremely rare I'll even wear designated work clothes on my days off, and to a Disney park? Oh, I'm the same way, hon. Too funny.

I bought some cozy yoga type pants tonight for $13 at Walmart. Gotta love it!

You have it right, you take the fake monorail to the main terminal and baggage claim. That always make me super excited for some reason.

I have had weird dreams before I go somewhere, too, or when I am anxious about something, and I hate it. I mean, a couple of years ago, right when I started thinking about finally cutting off my hair (it was down to my waist), I had a dream that I got it cut, hated it, and cried. It was another couple months before I could cut it. It is even worse when it's Disney related. Yours would definitely stress me out, too.

We're eating at Rose & Crown and the Yorkshire pudding is definitely something I want to try. mmmmm. I hope your last Monday went well!

It did go well, it went by fast. But I can't believe it's already 9PM. I guess that's what happens when you are out for 2 hours after work running errands.

Leslie, don't worry about the ME booklet! Even if oyu don't have it, they will let you on the bus. They will just print out a new voucher for you!

We did this twice. Our TA leaves all our documents at the hotel so we only get them at check in (instead of mailing them to Europe with the danger of them getting lost in the mail). We just had to go to the ME check-in at the airport and told them that we don't have the booklet and then we got all set up. It only matters that you have a reservation. I think Disney even stopped mailing booklets to international travelers...

If you need the airport map, it can be found here: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/me...en_us/Media/InternetMediaType/FAQ/OIA_Map.pdf

Thanks for the airport map. I did find the booklet, actually Marc found it while I was at work. WOO HOO!

Yorkshire pudding.

YUM!

on the dream, I'd have woken up stressed too!

for TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmn. Work pants. You have a very late flight, I'd be wearing sweats myself. Something about the words "work pants" just doesn't sound comfy!





this is a very sad story, ugh, scrooge just didn't get it!





You got it on the airport tram and you'll be fine without the ME booklet, they can look you up.

I LOVE that Jen is bringing a hamper. I brought one last year and plan to again this year! Then I just make one of the kids return home suitcases the dirty clothes suitcase!

I bought some nice comfy pants tonight. I'm excited about traveling outfit and reading on the plane. I just can't decide if I want to bring my ipod or not.

 

[Lady Lallie]

What a great way to start off my food envy day....Yorkshire Pudding!! I might go with #2 also....you and I can always (on very special occasions ) have roast and YP. Although that is not nearly enough YP for me...maybe I can get an extra side It will be interesting to taste what is hopefully an authentic version.
What a weird dream!! Get that right out of your head and put your work shoes in an airport locker before you leave!
Hope you have a quick day at work today!

Tracy

I can't wait for Yorkshire Pudding, I really want to taste how it compares to my Mom's.

3 days and only 2 sleeps

I hate to admit that on our last trip, I had crazy dreams like that every night It made it hard to get relaxing sleep because I woke up stressed each morning. I'm sure hoping I'm not plagued by that again!

My plan is to go with the surf and turf...best of both worlds!

and Jen, I always bring a hamper with me on vacation!

I bet you won't be, yours is going to be a less stressful trip with just you and your friend. You won't have to worry as much about your family.

Woo hoo, two more sleeps!
Yay for "way too big" in the pants department. Much better than the "I pulled out my vacation clothes and they're too small" department.

So very true!

So excited for you and Jen LL! Crazy Disney dreams... pretty soon it will be live from Disney dreams!

I can't wait, after today I am completely ready to go. I could leave right now if I had a plane ticket.

OMG... weird but your dream sounds like an actual experince I had at DHS during my trip a few weeks ago! Here I'll tell you what happened and its going to freak you out..
SO- I don't usually do the whole rope drop thing in order to avoid the "stampede" of people, but on this particular morning I was focussed on TSM! So, the rope drops, the inevitable stampede occurs. Now, there ARE CM's guiding people in what direction to go.... no trucks or backroads or anything though LOL! Now, I was wearing flip flops and some psycho stampeder stepped on the back of my shoe and my foot RIPPED OUT OF the top of my flip flop, brusing the top of my foot! So I go get a fastpass for TSM and decide to go on Rock n Rollercoaster since all the crazies are at TSM.. so on sunset blvd what do you think happened? My flip flop broke- I had no shoe!!! So I pop into a store praying for flip flops.. all they have are the $37 croc flip flops But I'm shoeless so I have to buy them!!! They gave me the BIGGEST BLISTER, and DH had to RUN (literally.. we were staying at BCV..) back to the resort and get me my sneakers!
You have to admit... there are some freaky similarities between your dream and my real life TSM Meltdown!!!!

I can't believe how similar that is to my dream. How freaky!! I'm really sorry you had such a bad experience! Bah. That's horrible. I get how blisters can completely ruin your day.

What a funny dream!

Happy less than 54 hours!

WOO HOO!

I will do all of that except drink the champagne. I'll try to get a picture for you. I'm really sad that I can't have champagne, I really want some!

Just wanted to say have a fabulous trip if I don't get a chance to get on the boards between now and the time you guys leaves!!!!

I'm not a scrooge! I love Christmas, I just don't want to taste it.

 

[Happydog]

Yay for you! Just a few more days... SO exciting!!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Finally all caught up! So the new pants are the travel pants? Are you taking laundry detergent? I know random questions....
Leslie and Jen, just bask in the excitement! You are almost there!
Did you say you like toffee? I got three pieces covered in nuts from the General Store....yum!

 

[jenjolt]

So I finally bit the bullet and decided to drag the suitcase out of the garage and start packing tonight....

Of course not before a stop at Old Navy at the mall

So about 3 loads of laundry later I was ready to embark upon the adventure I like to call packing!! Now I will be the first one to admit to you I do not back light. According to my list I'm bringing 56 items of clothing and I added more as I was packing so who knows what the count is now. However a girl scout I might not have been but I do believe in being prepared for all things.

So let's begin with the empty suitcase

About 30 minutes and two trips to laundry room later...

I also packed the red duffle bag of toiletries, shoes, gifts and hair products. I still have to figure out where in there I am going to put my hair dryer...even though yes I know they have one there at the resort I like the flexibility of blow drying my hair away from the sink if need be.

Then because she was feeling left out MP wanted her picture taken...

She too is about packed and ready to go! Have to put the camera bag in her but after that she is READY!!! WOOT!!

Finally...another project was completed today but I can't really tell you anything about it...however I can tell you it is for Leslie and it looks like this...

You will all have to wait until later to find out what is inside, but I am very happy with how it turned out WOOT!!!!

Alright well I'm exhausted and ready for bed! Tomorrow is mani/pedi day and cleaning the house! Can't leave it a disaster for Prince P! I have to finish entering grades into the computer at school and sharpen pencils for our exams. Hope you all have a great evening!

 

[jordanyosh]

i can't believe you guys are leaving this week.

you should be relaxing right now...

 

[brookelizabeth]

Oh LL, what a nutty dream! Good thing it was just a dream and the work shoes can stay far far away and you won't miss TSM!

Okay I have an airport question. I just looked at the maps and the little picture information and I think I've got it.

So I land, get off the plane and then I take the fake monorail to the Main Terminal and Baggage Claim, right? I just want to make sure I've got that right. I don't want to be wandering around where the planes land looking for baggage claim.

Yep. You got it. The one time we had to get bags it was super slick. Elevator to floor 2, grabbed bags, then down one more floor and we were at ME. Took about 2 extra minutes.

You will all have to wait until later to find out what is inside, but I am very happy with how it turned out WOOT!!!!

Oooooh, very fun secret stuff. I like it!!

Can you believe you are packing?! YAY!!!!

In case I don't get back here...have a magical trip!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Secret fun stuff is always fun! Yeay for packing, Jen! Your trip is so very close!

 

[MeMom]

Finally...another project was completed today but I can't really tell you anything about it...however I can tell you it is for Leslie and it looks like this...

You will all have to wait until later to find out what is inside, but I am very happy with how it turned out WOOT!!!!

This just makes my day!

Along with Henry's smileys that I just saw. You guys are making a boring Tuesday school day good already!

 

[jenjolt]

i can't believe you guys are leaving this week.

you should be relaxing right now...

Relaxing...hmm this word sounds vaguely familar and yet so foreign to me...what is this relaxing you mention???? LOL No time to do that yet, I'm hoping all will be done tomorrow so I can relax Wednesday night!!!
