In exactly 3 weeks from now, we'll have landed at MCO, obtained our rental SUV and will be headed to DTD. My husband has been monitoring rental car rates just to see if a better deal is out there and they have now doubled from what we are paying. We ended up with a Trailblazer from 5/10 through 5/22 for $221.24 (with a coupon from BJ's and booking a while back) !!! We couldn't do a Disney transfer for 4 for that price.
I'm so ready for vacation. Our ds8 has been having 3 plus hours of baseball practice 3 nights a week. His league's games begin Saturday and he'll have up to 4 a week. Our ds5 began t-ball today and he will also be adding 2 nights of 1.5 hours practices a week. His games begin 5/13 and end the first week of June so he'll be missing most of the season. I'm ready to relax and not drive anywhere or have to be anywhere every night of the week except a restaurant on DCL!
Our puppy was spayed yesterday and she'll barely look at me. I feel such tremendous guilt though I know it needed to be done.
I'm still checking and hoping for an upgrade. Anyone luck out yet?
I saw a post last week that someone from 5/6 got an upgrade so I was hoping this week some of us may get one.
My ds5 told his speech teacher yesterday his " favorite state" was Castaway Cay. He's fixated on getting there again. He will be SO happy when he realizes he really will be going back. Everytime we pass a river with an island he asks if that's CC. Even though they do not know about the cruise portion of the trip we are taking next month, they talk about the WDW part a lot. They have their whole itinerary planned already of what rides they want to go on and what order. They also constantly talk about our DCL cruise last year and how much they want to cruise again. We use those times to talk about what they'd like to do on board, excursions, where they'd like to go, etc. I don't think we'll ever be able to hold a surprise in for this long again. I'm still in doubt we'll actually make it to the 13th, but we will see.
DH and I decided a few weeks ago to order new birth certificates via the internet since ours were getting a bit ragged looking. He got his new one from PA in mint condition. Mine came from VA with a hole in the middle and whoever printed it, folded it immediately and the ink looks like a butterfly. My original 1972 version looks in better condition! We didn't do passports since we wanted to wait until next year when it's madated , the kid's only last 5 years and we wanted them to last as long as possible.
Cali-mouse, I work from home but have our personal computer next to my work computer and am always refreshing our cruise meets thread on the personal one. Our screen saver is a picture of the Wonder docked at CC last year.

I can almost taste the margaritas now! 
. We are still going to TRY and get on a snorkel tour, maybe from the docks.
