OK...he is a good packer / planner! Hang on to him! My DH thinks he can get away with one shirt, one underwear and one shorts for each day of the trip. What if something happens?? What if you want to change?? He makes me crazy! Anyway, looking good! Can't wait to see all the fun you guys have! And, thanks for the Diser compliment! I DOOOOO mean adult drinks and would love to share my ideas with you! I will get a list together and put it on here for you.

Ooo I just love Disney surprises!! How exciting.

Very nice packing list, I hate how boys have to bring like 6 things for the bathroom bag, while us girls bring the entire bathroom!

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary! Are you gonna wear the pins??? You must!

i know im so excited to find out what it may be!!! im sure whatever it is i'll love it and I wasnt expecting him to do anything anyways! just being in my fave place with my fave person was enough for me!! hehe

I know its not fair! boys have it so easy!

Thank you! and I didnt know they had anniversary pins! I will definitly have to pick two up! and gotta get Craig's first visit button! haha hes so not wanting to wear it but i know he'll at least put it on his backpack! and now he'll have two! he'll be thrilled im sure!

So I just got off the phone with Craig and apparently hes been doing some "Special" research for our trip and he found something super special that will make me cry?! he said im getting a big surprise this trip... being our one year anniversary trip and all... im really wondering what he has up his sleeve!!

ooOOOooooh!! how exciting! i'm hoping for a special surprise on our trip too but not getting my hopes up. It has been like 4+ years

Other then that, I had a somewhat stressful day today because I had some problems with my car so I had to drop it off and I wont get it back till tomorrow! so i had to get a rental car, since my family is all in italy right now so its such a pain because I have to leave work 2 hours early now and they were giving me a hard time about it! hopefully it will all work out and i'll get to leave! ughhh! at least only one week left of work then im freeeeee for a month!!!

I hate car trouble! Hope it all works out.

OMG you let him be responsible for important things!! Documents?!?! I would never let my DBF, you really do have a keeper! The only thing I have left DBF responsible for are basically his own clothes and toiletries lol

haha, Ian's so not excited to wear the first visit button either, but gosh darnnit, he's going to wear it and like it!! Haha no really he'll wear it at least for me to get a pic of him with it and then perhaps I'll let him take it off. Perhaps.

27 days!!!!!!

We went to Walmart today and bought... PONCHOS!! wooo! we bought 5 ponchos, which hopefully will be enough! Craig is taking two and I got three. and I can always steal Craigs if need be... just dont tell him that!!

I also finially found some extensions that match my hair color so Im gunna pick up those next week, so if my hair is magically longer in my TR pics, thats why! And we're both booked for haircuts with our hair dresser (yes we share one haha) next weekend and I booked my hair coloring appointment for the 17th!!

Craigs at work right now so Im working on my Disney Notebook!

I'm posting up our Disney Character Checklist! Now realistically, we probably wont meet all these characters, but we went threw a website together and decided on who we would like to meet and we're gunna see how many we can get! I also included thier regular locations! Tomorrow I will post up the Universal Character List!

my TA just emailed me today and we GOT OUR DOCUMENTS!!! wooo! It feels sooo real!!! They should arrive at my house in a few days!!!! Hopefully everything is ok and in there!

Also my family comes back from italy/greece tomorrow! cant believe its been a month already! AND 4 days left of work!! and a trip day is this wednesday to the zooo! so should go by quickly.


My Post for today is all about Disney Romance! (so certain people can print it out and show certain hubbys! haha) I also got this off a website, but again I dont remember the source (sorry )

Enjoy love birds!

Romance at Disney World

Stroll along the beach of the Polynesian and watch Wishes
Walk over to the Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian and reminisce about your own wedding (or planned wedding if the case may be)

Watch the cheesy horror movie clips while dining "under the stars" at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre

Get a souvenir photo of the two of you

Find a garden swing on the beach of the Grand Floridian or the Beach Club and sit and swing in the moonlight.

Instead of using the buses or water ferry from Disney's Hollywood Studios, walk along the water's edge to the Boardwalk.

While at the Boardwalk, act like a kid again while playing carnival games. You may be lucky and win your sweetie a stuffed toy. You can rent a Surrey Bike built for two to cap off your day.

You'll be humming Some Enchanted Evening when you and your special someone board an antique carriage at Pioneer Hall for a romantic ride through the scenic landscape of Disney's rustic Fort Wilderness Resort. Or choose a relaxing old-fashioned carriage ride departing Boatwright's Dining Hall at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort. Both 30-minute excursions are available nightly from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Call 407-WDW-PLAY for reservations.

Couples are nature lovers might enjoy a horseback ride through one of the backwoods trails at Walt Disney World Resort. Wrangler-led tours depart Trail Blaze Corral in Disney'w Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground several times daily. Reservations may be made by calling 407-WDW-PLAY.
