Thank you for the well wishes. I still can't believe, DH and I are going on this trip! It is surreal. I know the time will go by quickly. So, I will cherish every moment and take lots and lot of pictures.

Glad to have you along for the Adventure!

I love to take pictures while on vacation. Sometimes, too many in my family's eyes. So, expect this upcoming Trip Report to be full of photos.

3 Days ...
Until, I can finally ride the Matterhorn for the first time!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

That's one of the things I am looking forward to as well! It was closed on my one and only trip to DL 13 years ago.

Love your TR's by the way!

When we went to DL last year, DH went on The Matterhorn with DD7. I was going to ride when he got back to watch DS4. However, DD7 was crying from all the Yetis. So, I never got to ride it that trip. We actually had to make sure to walk quickly past the ride that whole trip as not to freak out DD7. Second to Dumbo, it is the ride most people think of when you say "Disneyland". I was going to try to ride it later in the trip. But, it ALWAYS has a long line due to the fact there's no FP.

It will be under refurbishment for the first day of our DL portion of the Adventure. Luckily, they do have it scheduled to be open on the weekends. So, DH and I plan to hit it right after breakfast on our last day at DL.

Glad you like my Trip Reports. It is fun to relive our vacations. It helps with the after vacation let-down.

2 Days ...
Until, I can finally put some faces to screen names from the ABD thread.

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

The suitcases are filling up and my "To Do" list is getting smaller. I have laundry in the washer and dryer. I need to make sure the kids' school uniforms are clean for next week and all the sheets and pillowcases are clean. My poor washer and dryer have been going all day and night.

DH and I head out of Dallas around midnight on Saturday to make the trek down to Austin. We found a cheap fare with Southwest from Austin to LAX. The things we do to save a buck (or rather a few hundred bucks in this case.)

1 Day ...
Until, I hopefully get to see World of Color.

Since, the river is still drained at DL. No Fantasmic! our trip. I am keeping my fingers tightly crossed we get to see World of Color while at DCA.

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

You know you're leaving soon when you can do online check-in!

Boarding Passes have been printed.
Suitcases are 90% filled.
The pantry and fridge are stocked for the week.
Cut DH's hair.
Laundry complete (Except for the sheets. Their in the washer right now.)

Right now (well as soon as I get off the computer), I am finishing up cleaning the house. I need to vacuum, mop and finish up the bathrooms. I'd better get working. Departure time is quickly approaching. Tick Tock! Tick Tock!
