I went to the dentist last week. I did my nails today. Tomorrow is feet. Still need the ponchos and the batteries. I was going to park my car at the long term parking lot. After I saw how much that costs over $200 I decided to park it at the Precinct and take a cab to the airport. Only $32 including toll.

Gals it's almost that time We are almost there.

at the Precinct??? Would you or DH happen to be a police officer? My DH is a retired Police Officer...was hurt in the line, right knee is severly injured and we are waiting for a full knee replacement...until then He is going back to college to become a teacher.

I am a 911 supervisor here in the city. I work for one of the Deputy Commissioners. Had one of my bosses call the precinct (as a courtesy) since he knows the Commanding Officer to see if its okay to park close to my home and not all the way down at 1 Police Plaza. He said no problem so I will park the car late Saturday night and cab it to the airport sunday morning. Its a great blessing. Instead of paying that astronomical fee at the long term parking lot. $30 for the first two days ($60) and then $8 every 8 hours (thats $24 a day for 6 days- thats $144). NO telling when we get back so add another $8 so thats about $212.

We will park in a park n fly lot and pay about $100 for the week. We are an hour from the airport so, cab won't work for us. We will be leaving by 4am to get to the airport by 6 am for our 8 am flight.

See you at WDW

I am glad our flight is not that early. We leave at 8am from the house. Get to the airport about 8:30 and our flight leaves at 11:10am. I hope.

4am Yeah my kids would love that!! LOL!

Harlem- how do you plan and pack for a trip and not have your son know? There is no way I could accomplish that. Someone would be nosing around. Good luck! How are you going to explain the flight! LOL!

Packing was easy. He was watching HS Musical and I just took the laundry (like usual) and folded it and paired shirt and shorts at the same time. When he wasnt looking I took his clothes to the room. Instead of going to his room I went to mine and just put stuff in his suitcase. He was in the front of the house in the living room while I was in the back. The suitcase was sitting on my floor for a week because I had just came back from Atlantic City and just left the suitcase sitting there. So he paid it no mind.

As for him knowing. Mickey Mouse is calling the house at 7:15am (Sunday) and he will say good morning, Your mom told me you are going on a trip. I am here with Goofy and Donald and we might go fishing. Hope to see you real soon.

I got this idea from someone on this board under another title. Its called Enchanted Calls. You can schedule a Disney character to call your home or cell phone and praise them for doing chores, call them to wish them a happy birthday and other things. So I will have the camcorder handy to tape his reaction. There would have been no way I would have been able to get him on the flight and him not knowing. The plane will probably be filled with kids.
