Just chiming in here to say I am ready for some warmer weather also! The weather here has been awful - the wind chill tonight is supposed to be at least 50 degrees (F) BELOW zero. That means if it is 70 in Florida it will be over 120 degrees warmer. Isnt that crazy!!!

We are not flying out until THursday and looks like the worst weather will be over by then. Crossing our fingers anyways

Cannot wait to see everyone on Saturday. Hope most of you can make it the Dis meet

No school here today. The first wave of the big storm has arrived. My kids are thrilled. I am happy because that is one less day for them to be exposed to all the sickness that is going around in the schools right now (100 kids out in just one of the elementary schools yesterday!)

My poor husband just called from work in downtown Cleveland to say the roads are terrible.

This vacation can't come soon enough!

OMG!!!!

We are supposed to fly to Orlando on Thursday to be there in plenty of time for our Disney Cruise on Saturday and today our stupid airline are on strike. They have cancelled our flight to Orlando and we are seriously stressed out now. Have no idea yet how we are getting across the Atlantic. Panic has really set in. We booked this trip a year ago and they decide 2 days before we travel to cancel. UNBELIEVABLE.

Stress - Panic - and more stress.

We had better make it.

 

[sdjen]

Scoobie2 - so sorry to hear about your stress. That really sucks!

Hoping you can make other arrangements and make it here!

 

[Scoobie2]

Ok.

Thankfully we're all sorted again. Bit of a longer trip but we will get there. Thankfully.

Travelling tomorrow. Yeppie.

See you all on Saturday on the MAGIC.

After an urgent care visit on Saturday to cure the puking child, out sick on Monday, school cancelled today and again tomorrow due to record low temps, we are sooo ecstatic to board the plane in the morning for Orlando. Not even the expected thunderstorms will keep us from this vacation. Rain ponchos and antibiotics packed, it's gonna take a lot more than the afore mentioned calamities to put a damper on our excitement! Barring any unforeseen debauchery, we shall plan to meet you all in person on Saturday! Safe travels to all, see you onboard!

 

[sdjen]

Safe travels to everyone! We are heading out Thursday morning.

Cant wait to meet you all Saturday at 2:30 in the Promenade Lounge.

Looking forward to a magical cruise!

Jen

Wishing safe travels for all of you coming from the tundra!!

I've been disappointed that the Keys won't be warmer... that just shows how spoiled Floridians can be about our sunshine. No more complaining from me when everyone else is dealing with snow, ice, and cancelled flights.

I was thinking of keeping DD home from preschool tomorrow so she doesn't risk catching another bug... she's been sick more than healthy ever since she started school, and we don't need that on the Mickey Boat!

Maybe I should just cover our house in plastic wrap and put masks on my kids until Saturday...

Going to get my nails done tonight and my hair done tomorrow... final preparations for the cruise!

 

[Lake_Mary]

Scoobie2 - I read your post with an Irish accent in my head and it totally just made my day

Glad you're getting across the pond!

 

[Thnlk]

We can't believe its here. 1 more day of work and we will be on our way. Work will be glad to see me go. The daily email of Caribbean beaches are getting old.

 

[kompers]

We spent the day shoveling out most of our 5 ft. snow drifts. I waited all winter for this kind of snow, but now I'm really ready to leave! Safe Travels everyone.

 

[CanadianDisneyDad]

Breif panic the last 24 hours.

Toronto had cancelled SEVERAL flights however looks like the worst is passed and back on track....whew......

cheers

 

[sdjen]

We are leaving for the airport in a few hours. Here is hoping we all have safe, stress free travels to Florida! Looks like our flights are on time today - so far- keep your fingers crossed

So excited that this day is finally here after booking almost 18 months ago

See you all soon!!
