Nichole, I have been CRAZY busy WORKING!! Soooo, I just wanted to say HAVE AN AWESOME TRIP! I don't know if I will get back over here before you leave! I am sooo happy for you and I hope your trip is sprinkled with TONS of pixie dust I thought you looked too cute as Tink, but I wouldn't want to be uncomfortable either KWIM! I can't wait to hear ALL about your trip!!!

 

[kaysmommie]

You are making great progress Nichole! Hope you aren't stressing too much!

Thanks Michelle!
Not stressing too much yet. Right now I'm just getting laundry done. Tomorrow I have a ton to get done. I'm stressing over the kids at school who are sick and hoping mine stay healthy. I let Thhomas stay home from preschool this week , well actually I told him it was closed . I lied but hey I'm taking him to Disney .

That list looks great!

Not too much left! It's so exciting! I hope you have a mommy-meltdown-free trip too! You will have so much fun!

Sara

Hi Sara,
The list is slowly getting done. If I only I could stop reading on the DIS and get the rest done . I'm addicted to trip reports. I'm sure we will have fun. There might be mommy time outs but no meltdowns this trip like in March. We were just cramming in so much in 3 days so that made it more stressful.

Hi Diane,
Thanks so much . Yes that Sally Tshirt is mighty comfy so I guess I'm over the costume thing. Just a tiny bit sad anyway . Hoping to have fun, should be interesting being a group of 16 people. Also half my town is going to Disney too. Don't work too hard.

Yes we leave tomorrow but planned on driving half way. Now looks like we might stop in Valdosta, Gainesville or maybe even drive to DIsney and get a room at Pop for the night. If we can leave by 11AM then it's straight to Disney for us . Looks like DH has just a few things at work to finish then we are outta here.

Well I'm pretty much packed. I just have to finish Kaylee's bag and throw a few last mintue items in the toiletry bag. I seriously overpacked and we probably won't wear half of what we packed. MY DF and her family are already there, they arrived at BCV this morning. The other family in our Grand gathering ( aquaintances to us) are flying in tomorrow evening. They are a super nice family and close friends to my DF.

The plan right now is to leave around 10 or 11AM and stop in Florida for the night. We may stop In Ocala or we may decide to just drive the whole way to Disney. I might call on the way and book Pop or another value resort for the night. I also thought of that Doubletree near DTD looks nice too. I guess it depends what time we leave and how grumpy everyone gets. I will check in tomorrow morning before we leave.

I hope you are able to get some sleep Nichole! That's great - your list is all checked off! I think that's fantastic considering you are a whole 12 hours out! You are my inspiration - I will aim for that as well!

I've got your number. You've got mine, right? I'm thinking the 11th Spectro meeting might be our best bet! Hopefully it will work out.

Have a safe drive and a fabulous trip!

Well I have to finish packing up a few things and get the kids ready and car packed. Tom took the dogs this morning. Hopefully we will be leaving around 11AM. My kids were so excited they were dancing around the house as they took off the last Mickey head . I wish I would have had the video camera ready. Now Thomas is having a meltdown because he wants to leave right now and I still have stuff to do. He did wake up with a runny nose, it is probably allergies. He has no fever and I'm hoping he is not getting a cold. You all have a good week and I will talk to you real soon.

Have a great trip! I hope the weather is nice!!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

I have so negligent of the Dis lately (gosh darn getting engaged ), but I just got caught up on your PTR and it looks you are all ready to go today! That is so exciting- I can't imagine trying to keep the kids calm this morning Have safe travels and I can't wait to hear all about your travels. Oh, and tell Mickey I will see him in 3 weeks
