Hello Elizabeth - jumping on board late after seeing you post on the meandering microcosm that is Jordan's PTR. Love your TR title were big Princess Bride fans here
and thanks - I don't know why but one of Tony's friends always says that to us when we leave her house so it just jumped out at me.
Looks like you have a great trip lined out for Donna Sue and you. Challenging first day you have lined out with an early wake-up for flight and a 9pm Hoop-De-Doo! Good call with leaving after Spectro to get there - as you said "no need to start off a trip stressed out!"
actually after more thought I changed it to a 7:15 hoop-de-doo with the idea that we'll do spectro and wishes another night. We'll just spend a few hours at MK getting a taste that afternoon since we will have a whole day there later in the week.
For trip planning I've used a binder for our last two trips, printed word doc, excel spreadsheet, and internet info sheets bound in it along with a two-pouch insert for holding vouchers and tickets and such.
Thanks! This is close to what I have right now and I think it will work out. I have all our confirmations in one place and then a section for each park, and the excel spreadsheet in the front. I need to post an updated plan, I may do that tonight. The binder is at home.
As far ad AK goes, we've only done one "one dayer" there so I'm not a good judge on a day's itinerary. We hit the ride/show high points and left a bunch not seen as far as the animal exhibits. One thing that worked really well for us was to hit Kilimanjaro Safaris right as the parade was about to start. The line for the safari is short and you can make it out in time to see the parade as it finishes right at the exit of the safari! Finding Nemo was a blast and I was at the very back of the auditorium and could see everything very well (you can look at the AK day on my WDW TR if you want to see a BUNCH of pics of it). With the PS seats youll be more surrounded by the action as some of the characters come out into the lower isles.
That is an excellent tip! We will definitely remember that ~ cool!
Congrats on getting your trip paid off and nice flashback from your trip in the second grade. We went when I was around that age too possibly the same year you did as Im 40 also. I remember it was the bi-centennial and the special parade they had for that. I remember 20,000 leagues too and riding the skyway through the Matterhorn. The high point for me was the Electric Light Parade :-]
We were obviously the same age since I know it was 1976 - but if the years are throwing you off, I started school early, so you might have been in first grade.
RnRC is probably my favorite RC in the parks
with EE a close second. My younger daughter and I rode it 8 times on our daddy/daughter day at DHS
hehehe.
I cannot wait to ride EE! I liked RnRC but I am obviously getting older as I felt a little breathless when we got off.
Glad your computer got fixed, hard to plan without it. And yes, those maps are cute and are more of a keepsake than a useful item.
Oh no, monitor problems too! It might be the monitor or the vid card, hard to tell without looking at it. Did you get an invoice detailing what the guy who came out did when he worked on your computer? Yeah, we men are bull-headed and like to see things for ourselves, just the way were wired I guess
I decided not to worry my pretty little head about the computer any more and just let DH take care of it. 
He did send the monitor back, we borrowed one from a friend in the mean time so it does seem to be the monitor and not the vid card.
Yup, the prices for the meals really add up. At least you're only paying for yourself though. And yes, math is horrible. I cant stand it
and Im an IT Director
Looking forward to hearing more of your planning fun - hope you're having a great holiday!
This computer is TWO years old people! And why is it that men always say you're wrong when something is broken but they didn't see it? Me: I went to print something on the computer, and now it looks like the monitor is going out. DH: The monitor's not going out. Me: Well, it has all lines across the top quarter and no picture, and I didn't touch the settings, so I restarted the computer but it did the same thing. DH: You don't know anything about computers, I don't know why you insist on saying something is broken when you don't know. Me: But you haven't even gone upstairs and looked at it yet!
You just spoke the universal language of frustration for almost every married woman on this planet!
Ditto. But dang, give us a break already! 
I am getting to know this emoticon too well. Anyway - thank you for the apology. I'll always take one even if I don't need it. 
and doesn't include alcohol. The 
and I'm wondering if I'm better off with the sangria. Fruit hides a lot of sins in wine.
At least your with good company, I'm math challenged and techno challenged as you know. Although I'm not Asian, not even close.....but your still in good company! 
the other night. 
I think it is Delsey brand.
YAY for trips being less then a month away
