I am just now seeing this thread! We are leaving this Sat. June 26 and staying through July 1. It is DH, myself and DD7 - DH has conferences June 28-30, so we are tagging along and staying at CR. The 3 of us will be at Epcot on Sunday the 27th because that's DH's favorite park, then DD and I will be going to the other parks while he's doing his work thing. We can't wait!!

We will be leaving June 27th from NC to FL. We'll be staying at a random motel that night. Then checking into the Movie Resort Monday June 28th and leaving Friday July 2. We are super excited. This is our first on-site stay!! And I'm sure it won't be the last!

 

[Tyme4wdw]

Welcome to the group AndreaDM and Kaismommie!

We'll be at the All Star Movies as well! Hope to see everyone at the parks! Don't forget to get your lime green Mickey's from Home Depot so everyone can spot each other at the parks!

My oldest daughter now lives in Wilmington, NC! I absolutely love Wilmington!!!

 

[JLVermillion]

Got creative with the Lime green Micky ears , so you should not miss it. Thay did not have any at our Home Depot so I bought some Lime Green paper then proceeded to decorate around the edges .... it is kind of a princess Micky ear thing. I have attached to my purse. I can not waitI brought out a small suitcase , of course Axel is now on High alert . Hope to see some people also. JV.

 

[Tyme4wdw]

That was a perfect idea!!! I hope to spot you!

 

[JLVermillion]

OK, I have gotten all my clothes ready for the suitcaseand the toiletries bag packed . Now It is time for the dreaded SHOE BAG DH is just shaking his head. See everyone soon Have safe trips. Jenn.

I get that way too, I think it is due to being overly excited and stressed over leaving home and all the things you need to do. I write a to-do list . It includes everything I need to pack, all the documents I will need and, everything I need to do around the house before I leave. It really helps and gets me even more excited as I cross things off. Where are you staying? We are at BCV.

 

[Tyme4wdw]

I believe the blahness is normal. You have built up so much excitement through the year by planning, making ressies, adr's and such. Now that the time is here we want our vacations to start, however, at the same time we know that as soon as the vacation starts the end of the vacation is near. Does that make sense? LOL

So, put in Disney movies or watch Disney specials on the Travel Channel while sitting down making a packing list and a list of things that need to get done before you leave home.

I stopped by the post office to have my mail held while we are away. I'm all packed except for the last minute items. Need to get my son packed this evening. Still need to get to Costco and Walmart to get water, snacks and breakfast items to bring along in the van. 4 more sleeps! WooooooooHooooooooo!!!!

I'm feeling the same! Add to that the anxiety of what could go wrong at home while we're gone. We are leaving 18 year old DD here (she just started a summer job and didn't want to ask off) so hoping and praying she doesn't do anything too stupid! I remember being 18 myself and what I would have done with a house to myself for 5 days!! Ahhh, I just need to relax and not worry about stuff I can't control anyway and go and have fun with DH and DD7. The suitcases are out of the attic and on the bedroom floor, but that's all the progress I've made so far - need to get the laundry done first.

Everyone have a great trip and stay cool!!

We had to do that once with DD. We told her we installed security cameras about a month or so prior so that we could watch the house via the laptop. It worked!Our neighbor said nothing went wrong and no one was over. Now I actually do have the cameras for our business and I love them, the go to our Blackberry and our laptop. I am always home. But teenagers will respond to that, also check out the facebook pages and see if there is any chatter about " My parents are out of town" or "SOOOO your parents are out of town ?" I trust my kids but as you said I remember being 18 and the summer time

LOL, yes I've already been scanning hers AND her friend's FB pages to see if they've been scheming. So far so good! She does know that both neighbors on either side of us have their eagle eyes on our property when we're gone so I doubt she'll try too much.

I don't want anyone to think we don't want to take DD18, but this was a kind of last minute business trip for DH so DD7 and I are tagging along since we had 2 Airtran passes we had bought at a charity auction a while back. DD18 wanted to work since she will be taking off a week in July to go to the beach in NC with us. I don't know why, but I always feel like I have to explain when we leave one behind so people don't think we're playing favorites!
