TRAVEL DAY!
After months of planning, saving, re-planning, and waiting the trip finally begins on this day. Just writing this paragraph is getting my blood pumping! Its finally getting real and Im getting extremely excited. I think there is a reason why I have waited so long to write out the details like this and its because the excitement is starting to get to me already. Lets pause real quick and get my Disney fix in before I blow it
..
This should work.
.. If youre wondering, yes I did take the time out and actually watch that whole video before moving on and yes it did help. That family has some of my favorite Disney videos.
Alright back to the trip. The plan is to have her come to Ohio from Michigan either late Friday or Saturday morning. She will have packed everything she needs from Michigan so she will be ready to go already by the time she gets to my house. I will of course have everything packed as well. The plan is to nap on and off through the day Saturday and leave Saturday night around 9-10pm and start heading south!
She is a night owl to begin with, so if you take that into account along with the excitement of the trip then I fully expect her to be awake until midnight or even 1am while Im driving. This means she will probably be awake for the most part of Kentucky and MAYBE into Tennessee. This is why I really need the false clues to lead her astray before the trip because I know she will be hammering me for clues and trying to get me to crack during this time before she passes out. I can only say, Ive held this secret for months you really think Im going to spoil it now so many times. Haha
In any event if I am able to stay awake like last time and power through with some energy drinks etc then we should be arriving at the House of Mouse between 11:30a and 12:30p or so. We got their earlier last trip but were not able to check into a room until much later so its not really worth it to show up too early. The plan once we get there is to check in, go to downtown Disney for some
Earl of Sandwich and shopping, and hit up Winter-Summerland for some putt-putt fun.
Good Choice.
After a long day of driving and probably more than 24 hours straight of being awake Im going to be ready to crash early on this night even though Ill probably be too excited/nervous to sleep. She will probably be ready for bed too early because she will know how I like to attack the parks (get up early and hit EMH, relax in the afternoon, then hit the parks again at night). At this point last year I went over the full plan with her as far as what parks we plan on doing which days and where we will be eating. This time, thats going to remain a secret. I know she will be BEGGING to know details but there is no way I can give up any of that info because Ill be forced to keep the Trek a secret and when that time comes and it pops up as a surprise she will know right away that it was planned and thats when the proposal is happening. I just risk WAY too much to give her any detail, I know this will be driving her nuts. Haha.
