FOR ALL SNOWBIRDS WITH CHILDREN...
One great tip from a co-worker...EVERY morning before going to your park, take a picture of your children with your digital camera. In case " you" get lost from your children, you have a picture of what they are wearing that day to show CM's. The kids love posing for pictures, so they are none the wiser!
I also take a picture of my photopass card incase I lose it...
Just went to Cabela's tonight and by DD12 and myself some Mary Jane crocs..on sale for $19.88love the bargins!
Printed off the pressed penny locations to bring home for the DD's to cross off their already found press pennies....and they can't find them!NICE..they have 6 days to search.
I'm checking my list twice and reviewing my tioletries and meds...this ear infection better be GONE by the time I fly. I feel like taking a knife and cutting my left side of my head off!
Just a bit more and I'm off to bed for the night...I need my rest!
Shelly, enjoy the sunshine. Appleton is having -9 tomorrow!
7 more days...
Tonight Dh discussed our next trip... our last trip in jan 2007 DH got bad news while in MK, this bad news has haunted us since and actually may resolve while we are away. Dh has promised me to celebrate we will do a disney cruise later this year! So hopefully my disney blues will not be too bad.
Pixie dust to all those that need it... and thank you for the snowbirdies providing their wonderful reports...
Only a few more days for me... the to do list is getting shorter... thansk for listening
Hello Snowbirds!
I've been trying to keep up with all of you, but it's impossible! I see that lots of snowbirds have gone and returned from WDW and that others are leaving within the next few days
We are leaving early Sunday morning and had to make a few changes in our plans. The WL CL rooms were not available for the 4/3 deal, so instead of paying rack rate for the room, we switched to the Poly and got the 4/3 dealVery excited about that, it will be our first stay at the Poly!
Hope all have a great time at Disney!!
Some very exciting news! My MIL called last night to let me know that my niece (18) is going to be able to join us for the trip! DH and I are soooo excited because my SIL keeps my niece VERY sheltered (no drivers license, not jobs, missed 1st year of college) and we hardly ever get to see her. In fact, we are shocked she's even allowing her to go. We won't tell my kids, so when my MIL pulls in the driveway next Tuesday with my niece my kids will flip out!!! The bonus is that we were able to add her to our ressie and all our ADRs without having to change a thing. DH and I are going to pick up the extra cost as a belated graduation gift since our other gift was rather boring(luggage and a book) since she wasn't going off to college right away and I didn't know what to get her. This is going to be so much fun!!!
On another note, I was able to find that cute pink wallet on clearance at my Target - perfect. This was after I locked my keys in my van (which I have never done before) and had to call a locksmith! So embarrassing.
and a !!!! LOL!!!
It took me that long to read everyone's posts. 
Am I a snowbird even though I live in sunny California? We leave for WDW on Saturday the 24th at 12:30 am!!! DS (14) has to be at winterguard (Drumline) rehearsal until 9:30pm so we had to do a red-eye. 
I am completely insane, but my husband just changed jobs and starts the new one the first week of Feb. so we decided what the heck. Cashed in frequent flyer points, and booked Yacht Club CL. I have never had less than 6 months to plan and am in panic mode right now. But I have to tell you, reading everyone's posts has made me better prepared. 
So, thank you all! 
I will give a big ole "Amen" to that! Doesn't it seem the closer you get to the trip, the crazier work gets? I've had a meeting every night this week and last, making my work days outrageous. I'm wondering how in the world i'll ever get all my work done, the house ready and everything packed before Sunday evening.
Five more days to go.... I guess that deserves both a
Hello all!
I have to admit I have lurked for the last 2 days.
So, I have a stupid question.
Can you believe I just booked the vacation on Saturday????
I really LOVED the 'live' reports! I hope it stays nice.
For those of you leaving this week, have a fun and safe trip!
And I like your 'what the heck' attitude - good for y'all! Have a great time and keep us posted....ITA on both accounts - I love being busy but honestly! Where's the Disney love!
I'm in the South and they haven't kicked me out yet so I guess you're okay!
But VERY excited too!!! Thanks! I am dying trying to get ready in such short notice.

How fun planning a last minute trip!
Who knows what the windchill temp is. And tomorrow morning is supposed to be way worse. 
Remember is was 58, the 63, then 73 (just yesterday), it is now 51. That was supposed to keep going up, not down!!! 
And, it couldn't come at a better time! We're under a winter storm warning and wind chill advisory. The HIGH on Thursday is only supposed to be 9. The actual LOW is supposed to be -9!!! With the windchills from the wind they're predicting, my walk into work on Thursday and Friday doesn't sound like it's going to be fun (I walk 2 blocks from the garage I park in to my building). That's crazy! I just keep saying "I'm going to Disney. I'm going to Disney."
I absolutely hate the cold, the snow, and the ice. When I opened my car door this morning, it was semi-frozen and although it did open - it wouldn't close. I had to drive to work with one hand on the wheel and the other holding the door closed. And, the roads were covered with black ice. Luckily, I live only about 1 1/2 miles from work, so it wasn't so bad (or I obviously wouldn't have done it). I sprayed de-icer all around the door frame, and finally was able to get it to close in the parking lot at school.
