Glad you are here! I read your 2013 report and it looks like I missed a 2014 trip now! You are from Missouri, right?!?! Me too!
The race report will be LONG and should be coming up in about 2 updates or so!
Yep, I'm a Missouri girl. Can't wait to hear all about the race. I love long race reports.
(it's way better than I can dance- so I say that with utmost respect.. I only dance with A LOT of alcohol in me!)
I am caught up!
Um, first off- AWESOME job on the video Savannah.
I especially like there is video footage of some fab dancing by your mother!
What is it with Peter Pan? That ride makes me tear up too! Always, as we go up over London... I just love it!!
So glad Eleanor liked BTM- it's such a great ride!
Mine Ride WILL be open by next February- I heard the opening is May 2nd or something like that?
Hey, do you like rope drop?
I actually have seasonal depression and some physical pain in the winter, I believe from low vitamin D (which I take a LOT of in the winter, but it is not effective like actual sun) so when I get sun, I soak it up! 
She took pictures. Some of them are blurry b/c she forgot to put it on auto and I had it on manual...but you get the idea! Fun times by the pool!
It was still cloudy and my normal sun-worshipping self would have been super disappointed that our planned afternoon at the pool had this weather, but I was having such a great time chatting with the ladies about the upcoming race, I barely noticed!
Uh, yeah, I'm not much of a dancer!
Mine Train! Yippee!!! We'll have to get FP+ for it...oh, that means we have to plan some of our park days. Yay, more planning!!!
Did you really think we were NOT going to plan some of our park days?
I mean we ARE talking about two huge Type A planners!
Yhea for bloggy friend meet-ups!!!
Looks like a perfect afternoon wind-down before the big run- by the pool, talking race stuff, with friends!
The good thing is Savannah & Eleanor are at the age where they probably were ok with some time by themselves- so hopefully there was not too much guilt on your side or too much disappointment on theirs!
I was just trying to EASE you into it...I wasn't sure if you were the same TYPE of TYPE A planner as me...ya know...the kind that loves rope drop and crowd calendars and and and...
Didn't want to scare you right out of the gate!
In my defense, I plan a LOT and then roll with the punches and I'm pretty easy with changing stuff up once I get there. I may or may not plan my drinks ahead of time and the direction I go in world showcase based on that.
Let's see... rope drop - yup. Crowd Calendars - yup. Menu Researcher- yup. Clothes planning spreadsheets- yup.
Yhea, I think we will be just fine together in our Type A craziness....
I will roll with the punches too when there- which we will have to do to make sure we get our adequate cupcake allowance in.........
Outfit planner too! WOOT! I was already trying to figure out when we would wear our matching shirts...but at this rate we will match every.single.day.
Since we had spent all morning at the park they didn't seem to mind. It was a perfect way to rest my feet and get ready mentally for the race as well...especially with two people that had already run the PHM before! The only thing that would have made it better would have been my mango margarita. This one:
We sat RIGHT NEXT TO Petals Pool Bar and it was nearly torture not to get my favorite drink there...but I was afraid to drink any alcohol the day before a race!
Ah...so refreshing to find someone as...er...organized...as me!
They have so many different types of margaritas to try, you can get caught up in the flavors and forget the tequila! 
The cave is a wonderful and dangerous place!
I think we should do that for sure after the half on Sunday...where should we get our DRINK quote filled on Thursday?!?!
I guess that depends if we decide to head into the parks on Thursday or stay in Downtown Disney.......... good thing we have a year to research this option....
