I'm ready to go now!!! Is it vacation time yet?

[johnsonginad]

We always do online check-in. Except we didn't do it this year (because I was hoping that DH would upgrade us when we checked in, but he changed his mind). Our room has almost always been ready when we've done online, and the one time it wasn't, she found us a ready room. And this year, we didn't do online, but when we checked in, she found us a ready room.

I do know that it helps speed up the check-in process, and it does increase your chance of having a ready room, but it never guarantees it.

I enjoy doing online check-in because it's another milestone in our trip!

You mentioned Tony's ... and I got some "heat" when I made an ADR there last year. I thought it was one of our better meals of the trip. We would go back in a heartbeat to Tony's. The food was good, the service was good ... I don't think I had anything to complain about with Tony's. So I highly recommend it!

Oh, and have some food pics for good measure!

New York Strip Steak

Braised Lamb Shank

Cheesecake

Gelato (Pistachio, I think)

YUM-O!!! That looks MARVELOUS! We are looking forward to this one, too! (Who am I kidding? We're looking forward to all of the food! )

I'm so excited!!! As of today, we're 10 days out! I can't believe it! I feel like dancing!!! (ALOT)

WAIT - HUH??? You leave in just over a week!!!! SO JEALOUS!! lol

I'm so glad you got over the hassle of the packing!! What a trial that would be doing it on the sly I could never do it! You are SSOO good at keeping secrets!

I can't beleive it's been a week since I read your thread sorry. i've been so busy over on mine that I've been negligent at keeping up but i promise to be back again and again and again. lol.

and that's AWESOME about the fancy little phone and playing the Disney song!! I was just logging onto the DIS site today and the good life was playing on my radio!! it was SSOOOOO cool - weird coincidence that just gives you the warm fuzzies hey??? anyway - so I totally can relate to that.

Can't wait to find out about the BIG REVEAL next week - it will be the highlight of my week No pressure at all hey??

seiously though!! how can you even contain yourself?!?!?! lol

I'm barely able to...and the days at work are getting EXTREMELY long, and I can't seem to focus on one thing. LOL.

I just know that exactly one week from tonight, I'm going to be laying in bed, and Prince Charming and I are going to be staring at the ceiling. Unable to sleep. And, we have to be up no later than 3 am to get ready.

 

[johnsonginad]

Good GRACIOUS people! I see very little sleep in my future. Between being unbelievably excited about heading to the House of Mouse, and the late games of the NCAA Tournament, I am being eluded by sleep! (Have I told you guys that I am a college basketball nut?)

On the brightside, my boys won last night, and man what a game it was!!! Prince Charming was in the bed next to me snoring, and I was up watching the game. (He doesn't particularly like basketball. He's more into football and baseball.) I'm sure it looked pretty funny, because I was trying to be all quiet so he could sleep, but whenever something good happened I would stifle my yells, and just try some quiet celebrating. That would shake the bed a bit. I guess, in hindsight, I should have gotten up and watched it in the living room, but eh...that bed was so darn comfortable! By the time it was over though, I was so worked up that I couldn't go to sleep!

At least the next one is on Sunday afternoon, so it hopefully won't interfere with my sleeping. We shall see!

 

[JDailey]

Your trip is getting soooo close!!

 

[wakica]

I laughed reading about you celebrating quietly in bed b/c I always try to watch tv in bed while DH is sleeping too. Sometimes if he catches me before I've gone into the bedroom he'll ask if I can stay out there to watch tv tonight and while I used to hate it bc as you said the bed is just so COMFY!!! Lately I've been answering with an emphatic YES, sure thing hon b/c I can be on the laptop doing Disney research at the same time LOL

How many days is it now?????

Yep! We're back! We actually got back really late last Thursday. With Easter being this past weekend, and going back to work Monday, it's been really wild at our house! I have a short day at work today (only because I have to work Saturday), so I'm hoping to start my TR today! LOTS and LOTS of photos to share, and we had a fabulous time! Who knows? I might even be starting a new PTR! Details to come soon!
