ONE WEEK from today at this time I will be getting up to finish off any packing, getting my Starbucks for the ride to the airport and heading out to see a Mickey and a Nicki.

Yay for one week!!!!

So what do you get at Starbucks? I had my first Pumpkin Spice latte of the season today, it was SOOOOO good!

 

[that's nice]

OK I know I am a little early (1 hour) but what the hey! 6 days to go!

Six days!!!

Catching up on previous posts...

Part 1 -- Future World

Our three must do's:

Soarin'
The Land
Nemo and Friends

So what is your ONE must do in Future World (note that we cannot do Mission: Space...although I wouldn't do it anyway, and Test Track is out for Mark...I may or may not do single rider line)

As always, thanks for your suggestions.

I have to echo everyone else and say SSE. OR the tanks in the Seas, I love watching the fish!

What is this? I've never heard of this.

Did Liesa answer you? I missed it if she did. The Velcro frog can be made in Innoventions - it's in the same Innoventions as the Segways and the big fire truck. It's kinda in the corner like when you are about to leave to go toward the Land or the Seas. You pick up a velcro frog and then you can decorate it with the various pieces. Some people get VERY creative! It's fun!

World Showcase at Epcot:

Our top three things to do:

1. Try a Grand Slushie
2. Catch the street show in Italy
3. See the film in France

Hat shots in each country.

The procedure lasted less than an hour. It turns out that the stress test can be false 10 out of 100 times and Mark got one of those 10! However, with his history, it is better safe than sorry. They did not put in a stent; there is no blockage, the blood flow is fine, there is no damage to the heart, etc. The stents from his heart surgery (when he had his heart attack) nine years ago are doing their job. He will eat breakfast around 11 a.m., then they will get him up to walk and then he can go home. We should be out of here around noon or so.

Thank you all so much for the prayers. My friends here on the DIS are the best.

xoxoxoxo

Again, sooooo glad it went well!!!

We will be at the MK for an 8:05 a.m. ADR at Crystal Palace and have until 1:40 for our Plaza lunch ADR to do what we want to do; we need to leave the MK no later than 4 p.m.

Here are our three must-do's for this final day:

1. Ride Dumbo
2. Have a last popcorn and Mickey bar
3. Get balloon in memory of my dad to give to a child

Okay, what are some of your ideas for us to fill the day (and NO dole whips...sorry, we just don't care for them).

The Jungle Cruise. I just love it. Classic Disney and hilarious!

Is it still open? Also, I was wondering of the Walt Disney World Railroad is still running (this is one of Mark's favorite things to do); I wasn't sure with the renovations whether or not it was still running.

Not sure if anyone else answered, but yes and yes!!! Toontown IS open and the Railroad IS running.

Hi, Jen and thanks! I get a cappucino in the morning and a java chip frappucino in the afternoon. I think Nicki likes the pumpkin spice latte's.

OK I know I am a little early (1 hour) but what the hey! 6 days to go!

I'll let you be early this once.

OMG that is hillarious! Hmmm....The 4 day Flamenco? The 3 days twist? The 2 day 2 step? The 1 day wiggle????

Tim, you better start researching.

Six days!!!

Thanks, Brook for ALL of the great info. Mark will be so happy the Railroad is running. And we will definitely be doing hat shots in the country's.

Hi, Rosie. We all have those days...I know you'll get to it when you can.


I'm sitting here doing laundry and just can't get motivated because I keep thinking that one week from today at about this time, we'll be heading to the Dig Site for a DIS meet and I just want to go NOW.

Mark has to work all weekend because he has a trade show in town. We stopped for dinner at Russell's, a barbecue place when I picked him up (my mom and dad used to hang out here when they were dating). When we got home, Mark took out his shorts and t-shirts for the trip...so a little bit more of the stuff is out and ready to be packed.

Since I've done all my "pre-trip" plans, I thought these last six days before we leave, that I would post a "favorite picture" from past trips each of the six days until we leave.

Here is #6:

Showing our "inner child":

I've never had a Martini...that certainly sounds interesting. I understand about the family stressing you out...that's why we don't go out with ours.

You will have a WONDERFUL experience going out with us. Although they may kick us out of the restaurant if they seeing us taking food pictures and when you and I get started yacking.
