One week from today we'll be getting on the Mickey boat!

 

[TVEPFOX]

The Caribbean is starting to look like a candy dish. UGH!! Hopefully all this will go away!

 

[Nette]

Awe thanks....truly I know I shouldn't complain. This week has been an inconvience, not a hardship. Someone just sent me this AMAZING photo slideshow of Glaveston.

DH sent me a picture of a boat inside a tennis court, fence was still standing though...

When I had my knee surgery (nearly 3 years ago!), the thing that seemed to help most (and still does) is climbing stairs regularly (I usually just do the 3 flights to my office each morning and that's enough to keep it "in shape") I think keeping those muscles strong helps to keep the joint in the right position. But I didn't start that until a few weeks post op... Hope yours feels better soon.

Good News!! The nat'l guard (and therefore DH) are on their way back to base today... which means he'll be home Sunday or Monday!!! Phew... I was freaking out about him not making it...

Julie... I really hope little Alex feels better soon. I bet the antibiotics will clear up the drainage right away!

Hi guys....some bad luck here I was in a nasty car accident tonight. One good thing is I was on the way to work so the kids weren't in the car. It was a hit & run..

So, sorry to hear this! THAT'S IT, EVERYONE...ROLL YOUR FAMILIES UP IN BUBBLE WRAP AND DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE UNTIL YOU LEAVE FOR YOUR TRIPS!

Hi Everyone,
I am sorry for any glitches getting the maps out to everyone - my computer was a disaster yesterday. Plus, with so many spam controls, I think a lot of emails we send just get sucked into the netherword.

I am sooooo excited!!!! I can't wait to meet all of you - although, truth be told, just leaving here and going there is all I need to make me want to SCREAM!!! I don't think I've ever needed a vacation as much as I need this one.

Thanks so much for the map. It is great!

I know that there are a limited amount of fast passes released per ride per day. My question is, after the park "closes" to regular customers, are there additional fastpasses available for the MNSSHP customers?

Also, what time is the parade?

 

[Magic3forme]

Arin:

I dont remember there being fast passes after 7pm at MNSSHP> last year we walked right on Space Mountain twice.

There are 2 parades. The headless horsemen will start the parade too. (8:15 & 10:30) fireworks at 9:30, the first parade is usually more crowded, because a lot will leave after the fireworks.

My dd has a roller skating party today. ( did I mention this is my clumsy daughter?) I need bubble wrap.

No, there are no additional FP's after hours for MNSSHP, MVMCP OR PPP. I was so concerned about it I had asked at GS. Their answer was "You don't need them", and that answer was correct. Most rides were 5 min wait after the parks "cleared" out. Space, BTMRR, Peter Pan all had about 10 min wait, which in all honesty was basically just the amount of time it took to walk back thru the queue. I was suprised how many ppl were at the Party though....Main St & the hub were NUTS but the rest of the lands were wonderfully lightly populated. You will have a great time...I'm so jealous!

We're getting our cruise shopping all finalized today. I was really dissapointed with the dress selection at Babies R Us, but at least they had some dresses for Sarah in our color schemes so we don't look too haphazardly mismatched. Now that her shopping is done I can pack her bag tonight!

THANK YOU everyone for your thoughts and concern!

It will be ok believe me after 4 cruises and breakdowns with each one it does all come together. Like someone else stated with all of us if you forget something I am sure one of us will have something to replace it. The big thing is not to forget is your picture id and birth cert or your passport everything else you can either purchase or we will have. Just remember this is a vacation!!!

Maureen

You're so right, Maureen. Videoman's DW said exactly the same thing to me yesterday on the phone. I put a sign on my the inside of my front door that reads "PASSPORTS." I just got back from Target and got my DDs a bunch of summer clothes on clearance so I can just pack them now and not think about it. It is supposed to be a relatively cool week here coming up so there's less temptation for them to wear them to school. So at least there'll be less necessary before we leave . . .

I dislike flying too - but I do like getting to Orlando in 2 hours. I'm not as fearful of it as I used to be - I used to just dread getting on the plane even weeks away from the trip - it put a big damper on the usual pre-trip excitement.

I like this website: http://www.fearlessflight.com/ They used to have discussion boards there - but I don't see them now. There are some good articles on turbulence and the like - typical things that make people nervous to fly.

What helps me the most is to get interested in a good book before I go - then I hooked on it during the flight (and an Ipod with some music so I can't hear the plane noises). With 2 kids sitting next to me it is hard to tune out though! LOL! We're flying Jet Blue which has direct TV at each seat so that is fun to watch. A few Spongebob episodes and we're landing....whew!

I feel your pain. I am exactly the same way and have turned down invitations to avoid flying. I think I am doing better this time, but it is still a week away. The last time I flew (3 years ago), I didn't feel so bad because I was with my brother who is a thousand times worse than I am. I drive down to FL from NY every year; meanwhile, my husband loves to fly. I, too, will have a book, ipod, my family and friends to keep me occupied this time. There are many like us out there . . .

Hello everyone! Not sure if I need to introduce myself, I suppose the screen name gives it away. Chris has been trying to convince me to post for awhile now. I created an account weeks ago but am just now getting around to posting. I have kept up somewhat with trying to read but I am always too tired to start posting after catching up on this chatty bunch.

Things have been very busy around here with both girls starting school, their numerous activities, finishing FE gifts and of course trying to keep Chris in line.
I am definitely ready for this vacation. Guess I should start packing

I don't think we are on the Treasure Map. I hope Chris hasn't scared you all so much that you will be afraid to visit our FE. I wouldn't mind but the girls would be disappointed. There is no reason to fear. Since neither Chris or I are crafty in the sewing area we outsourced the creation of our FE. So no products used in our FE came from our home or more specifically from Chris's "drawers"
We have a really awesome looking FE made by Tiffany (Thank you so much Tiffany, it is better than we had even hoped).

Sue (sorry, never even made a signature yet)

Hi Sue! I just started posting a few days ago, myself. It is tought to keep up with everyone. I haven't been scared off by Chris; he's very funny. But should I be ? Looking forward to meeting you.
PS--I'm not crafty or creative, either.

My handy packing tip (coming from someone who has not packed a thing yet). Pack everything you think you will need - then take half of it out - you won't need it anyways!

DH loves flying - he particularly loves turbulence I on the other hand would drive everywhere if I could - why can't they get a direct train from Dallas??? Anyways, my biggest mistake was when I took the pilot of the tv show Lost on a trip with me - in case you haven't seen it - the doggone show is all about a plane crash

Great packing tip! When you think of how much clean (but wrinkled) clothes we bring home w/us . . .

DH loves flying, too, but I'll have to ask him how he feels about turbulence. I try to drive everywhere, which is why I hardly go ANYWHERE I'll stay away from Lost!

I use to be the same way with flying, but about a year ago it just seem to stop. Now I am fine with flying I would rather fly than drive. My kids just got me an ipod for my b/d and I had to go to FL in August really do love having that ipod made the flight go really fast.

Fish extender gifts are done!!

I have them seperated according to deck too.

Dh said do I really have to help pass these out? Can I just go up to Deck 9 and have a drink??? ( Charlie/ Chris.... you have a Patron member).

After reading through some of the posts from last night/this morning, I have decided that I should stop stressing over the packing and the flying.

To all with sick children, car accidents, spouses who aren't home yet, bum knees, etc, I wish you all well and hope that all works out fine in time for your trips!
