So glad the cake ordering went well! You are so close!!
Those shoes look great - I hope they are good for walking!
sosoclose!!

I hope so too! They have really squishy areas (I guess where you need shock absorbancy?) and actually have arch support, which is great, since I think I have plantar fasciitis.
I'm trying to break them in this week (and air them out..my room still smells like leather ), so I'll wear them at work tomorrow. I'll be standing for 8 hours, so that should let me know how comfortable they are (and those hours tell you why I have the problem).
It's getting so close. I bet you are so excited. I am so jealous of all you guys. I wish I could be there too. I'm really slacking here though. Someday I WILL do free dining! LOL!
Colleen - I'm debating adding an umbrella to the luggage - I may bring one just in case.... (I love this little guy)
I only have 4 days of work left! Today, Tuesday, Friday, and then Monday again, and then I'm done!
More good news: Bounceback is out, and it's Free Dining for next August! So that means I'll be booking the 25th anniversary trip while I'm down there, and then we're going to cancel the other reservation.
So Lou came over today, and my father started talking about Saratoga Springs (I forget exactly what about it), but according to my mother, I had this look of horror on my face as I deftly changed the subject away from anything where he might mess up and mention the 1 bedroom villa vs. studio. I haven't messed up yet, I am determined not to!
I've been keeping up with the Fact of the Day too, and I'm trying to get it up on time every day. So here's today's!
8 days!!!!!!!
The Eiffel tower is the only "carrot" in the WS--the only thing that cannot be reached by the general public. Since it isnt full scale, its coated with a sticky substance so birds wont perch on it and spoil the illusion.
Between France and Morocco, you'll notice that there is a section of pavement that looks different. This is supposed to symbolize the Straits of Gibraltar.
One more day down - I just got home from a Mock Trial meeting, so I can post today's fact now, since Lou just opened it:
9 days!!!!!!
Main Street is designed, through forced perspective, to look as if it's much longer than it is when you're heading towards the Castle. In the mornings, you are all excited and have the energy to walk. When you're walking away from the castle towards the exit, it looks shorter. That's good for the way out when you're tired. The castle is designed the same way. The bricks get smaller as you go higher up, to make it look taller than it is. This is also helped by the fact that as you walk down Main Street, the buildings get smaller as you get closer to the castle, so that it looks even taller.
Thats awesome about bounceback now I have to decide if I'm going to book it since I have a cruise in June with my sis! Maybe I'll do it for sept or sept til oct! what are the dates do you know? I have umbrellas packed also! OMG! Did you get your dad after Lou left and tell him it's a surprise???lol!
Question from the inexperienced hopeful trip planner-to-be: what is bounceback? Am I reading that right to say that there'll be free dining from August 2010? (Aka exactly when I'm conspiring to get SOMEONE to take a trip with me?)
I will have to look for the change of pavement between Morrocco and France - I've never noticed it before!
Also on Main St. the majority of the food is on your right hand side (to attract you as you enter the park) and then the shops are on your right as you exit the park so you are inclined to venture in.
That's only true in WDW, Disneyland is not as organized. Also if you think the hub is crowded for wishes try watching a fireworks show in Disneyland.
which fireworks show?I learned that on the KTTK tour in WDW, I don't have lots of useless knowledge about DL though ... done the DL hub for fireworks before and I did notice the difference!
