I can't believe I've been up for an hour and gotten nothing accomplished except for writing lists.!
I feel that way constantly, except my lists aren't even complete yet!
I'm beginning to wonder what I,actually my DH, got me into....
That's a lot of car time!!! I understand stress, but we'll be fine! Just keep swimming!
So after reading the 'decorate your room' thread a week ago, I finally went to Home Depot and got the mickey head paint color samples
One of the best memories I have of prepping for our 1st trip was making signs for our windows. I got a bunch of those, printed some DISigns of characters with VT (Virginia Tech) face tattoos that says Everyone loves a Hokie Girl, and a VT Mickey for DH, and we each created our own signs. I covered them w/ clear contact paper and had a sign (like Julie's ticker) with FLIPFLOPMOM that another friend designed for me on mine, the girls wrote FLIPFLOPMOM's DD on theirs, and DH has FLIPFLOPMOM's DH on his. They were so fun! I keep them in my Disney tub! Sometimes, we stick them in the car windshield on the way down!
Oh haha no no, more like it prepares you so it won't happen, so you will do things to ensure it won't. Or, if by some weird reason you DO sprout wings and fly, you'll remember the dream and know how to flap!
With a feather in your teeth, of course!
For whatever reason, it always falls to the originator of the package to instigate the claim.
Nice. Any new news?
UT going to instigate a claim?
:Thanks - yes, I have had that same thought!!
Kinda like - what do they know that we don't?
My daughter saw her pirate outfit packed and she asked me why I was packing it.... uh.... just because
Just in case you feel like wearing it down there, sweetie!
I wish that would work with her! She is the never ending question asker! She actually never stops talking, aside from being asleep ...
Be thankful. My four year old talks, and sometimes yells, in her sleep. 2 nights ago it ranged from "I want chips and dip" to "STOP IT SISSY!!!!"
I think my dd has figured out we're going this summer
That stinks! We told our kids in '09 as part of their Easter gift, their baskets were WDW stuff. DD had asked bunches of times if we were going, b/c "you talk about Disney all the time now Mom." "I know honey, it's just that I really want to take you there, but it takes YEARS to plan a trip."

That stinks that the neighbor told her. But I'm sure confirming it will be a wonderful experience for her!!!
Not that your counting or anything Which car has more room and is more comfortable on a long drive?
I've decided that although DD #2 didn't behave enough to earn TPL, I'm going to take her to the Main Street Barber shop for some pixie dust...and DD #3 is going there as well. She can't even do TPL yet because she's not yet 3 and I don't want them to miss out on some of the fun.
Well, the SUV is MUCH more comfy and has more room that the flea flicker Kia. SUV is older, more miles, so there's a fear factor there. Reminds me, need to check and make sure I renewed
AAA! Have you done Barber Shop yet? We did it our first two years, it's soooo much fun! DH even gets a haircut! Something I did NOT know until we were waiting in line - a lady came in and said she had 9:15 appts made through concierge at all sports, and they took her ahead of those of us waiting.
I hope dreams mean nothing LOL I had a dream I was pregnant the other night!
Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do!
So I just cleaned some of the house

Progress!

I can't seem to do anything but spin wheels!
We will be at Bay Lake Tower for two weeks from July 9th to 22nd.
We'll leave the light on for you! We check out of BLT on the 9th! I can't wait either!
Here's the one I thought was great. I may be able to entertain myself last this afternoon by re-reading these jewels.
thank for that link! I had to read it to DH last night. Which might explain why I can't get anything done!
I just need to add bras to my pile and then need to add undies to my hubby's (had to order him new ones... the desert seems to really age his undies more quickly!!)
I remembered this year that I need to pack about 2-3 times more undies than I think we need. Extra showers because of the heat, all the water rides etc, DH ran out and I was washing them in the sink and using a hair dryer to dry them!
in 11 days, I will be on the road on my way to VA.
Strangers in the night.... I'll be leaving VA in 7!
I just put my lanyard (princess of course) in my purse with my annual pass and my Tangled M&G fast pass (since they were a no-show the last time I was there). My husband's will join it in a little bit.
How exciting! I made the executive decision NOT to tell my girls about Tangled M&G this year. Hope they don't see it. I just don't have that in me right now!
As the family turns.....my brother is backing out of our family group trip.
I agree to keep checking for ADRs, stuff pops open every day! Sorry he's backing out... But you'll have a blast!
Because my husband doesn't want to check a bag (cheap-o

) and he will only pack a little suitcase, I get to put his toiletries in my suitcase. I think that he should buy me something really nice since I'm giving up space.
Definitely deserves something. Maybe nice jewelry, since it won't take up much space in your already crowded bag??? Are you going to check in to the thread when you are there? Can't wait to meet you at AK on the 6th. We'll be easy to spot. DH is ... Pooh, I'm Tigger, well that particular bounciness could be attributed to all of us. Anyway. DD will be the 11 year old with an attitude begging for another ride on EE, and DD2 will be in a brown and pink stroller, or running away from it!

Have a safe flight!
Well, 1 more assignment done!!!! 2 to go!!!! DH did our dollar store run, since he works closer to it. Got some ponchos, glow bracelets so we can keep up with the girls at night better amidst all the

, some snacks for the car trip, red, white and blue leis to wear on the 4th, and a coloring book or something for the girls in the car.
He's going to service the car today, (used to be a service tech) and will see how he feels about the guts of the car holding up. Then, we'll make our final decision about what we are driving, so we can decide about packing.
I spent time yesterday reading our reviews, dining and trip, from last year. It was really fun to walk down memory lane! And educational, because I had forgotten about Dh running out of undies, certain dishes I liked and disliked, etc. If you do TR's this trip, I encourage you to do a regrets page! I always do my reviews as soon as I get back, sometimes start them before I ever go to bed! Anyway, it was nice to do it while it's fresh, you know, instead of after you've given birth and forgotten the experience.

It helped me put things in perspective, like how I had regretted not being photopass stalkers, not giving the kids and DH pool time, etc.
I'm going to consult my to-do list I had in my PTR for my first trip, probably still applies, so that will give me a jumping off point! Pretty sure I won't have time to clean pennies with hot sauce this year, though!
