LOL, haven't been a vacation in 7 years or on a plane 6! Taking my son on his first plane ride and trip to Disney. This trip has been in the works for 2 years and after 1 postponement and free dining pincode change we are FINALLY going. I am totally worthless doing anything but getting ready for the trip!

I need to clean my house, but nope. Could watch TV or play video games, read or whatever I would normally do in my freetime. Nope, just wanna plan, pack and obsess some more!

Aggg - just want to get there already! LOL. Luckily I'm going to the in-laws tomorrow so maybe that will be a diversion.

Anybody share my illness? Any cure other than arriving?
 
I share your illness:rotfl:

We will be there in 4 days. :banana:

Hope your little one has a magical trip.
 
Yes, I'm there.

Although this year, we've taken too many vacations already! We did the Disney cruise in March, went to Oahu in late May, went to Universal Studios in August (don't even go there, it was not at all Disney, which is why I decided to go back to Disney). We leave in 4 days.

Plus, I just decided (can't believe I'm doing this) to spend an extra $500 and go from AKL to BWI (but the darn reservation system is down when I just called). I never change our resort, but this time I had such a hard time deciding. It was just going to be me and my children, so originally we had a moderate booked. It was very very inexpensive with the free dining, then DH decided he could come along (but 2 days after we get there) so I spent an extra $400 to go with AKL, now I realize that we really LOVE the Boardwalk area, and their rooms are all beautifully renovated, so it's "my birthday present to myself" to quote Cuzko (I know I misspelled him, but you know the emperor from "The Emperor's New Groove").

So double our vacation cost, but we'll be doing our best to help the economy down there in Orlando!

I totally relate, though. I need to start putting our clothes out to pack, but need to see closer like Monday what the weather looks like. It does seem like it will be nice!

Got little lights and suction cup things to put them on the window/balcony door. Got window clings, for the mirror or the balcony. Got a little ten inch tree with tiny Micky ornaments (from 7 years ago). My kids think it's crazy, they love anywhere we stay.

I am happy for you - I think we all need vacations. At least every 6 months.

Oh - just noticed your photos! How absolutely beautiful!!!!! And you have a new baby as well! Congratulations and have a wonderful wonderful time! We'll be there the 17th to the 22nd, probably at BWI. The Contemporary is great for little kids - the monorail is so fun. It's a ride itself. I've done a few mommy and kids trips, and it is so fun. Of course, it's fun with daddy along as well, but sometimes the smaller the crowd, the less you have to accomodate everyone.

Have a great time!
