You're a bad influence on me I haven't really started either still Last night we got the suitcase and then I threw some stuff like sunscreen and a poncho in it, but I haven't even started on the actual clothes. Josh fell asleep before I could ask him to fold them.

Haha. Sorry! (Not sorry ) I didn't get any packing done yesterday either! Yikes. Blair and I went for a walk and then we had to drop something off at someone's house and then we had to grocery shop and then we had to make dinner and then we were watching Criminal Minds (you are a bad influence on me too!) and then I just didn't have the energy...

I guess I'm not too concerned about it then.

If we lived near you Josh would join! He loved volleyball and played in high school and always talks about how he wishes he could play again. he used to go to a basketball thing every week during part of the year, but less and less people started going and last year they stopped doing it.

I wish you did! I really need my team! That is so disappointing that less and less people stopped coming. I hate that other people's lives get in the way of my fun!

Don't think like that! There will always be glowing drinks at Disney! (I like the Magical Star one).

I told Blair that I needed to dig out my glow cubes because what if they didn't have the Glowtini drink any more at Disney. AND HE JUST SHRUGGED! Then he said, Just get a regular drink. And I said, And put a glow cube in it. That's why I'm bringing my own. And he said, No just order a regular drink. At DISNEY?? Are you serious? Do you even know who you are married to???

I was not amused.

Haha I totally understand. I can't stop watching Criminal Minds once I start which is probably why we made like no progress Disney movie watching for like 2 months

Stupid other peopel's lives

I don't think they'd get rid of their glowtini. Their glowing drinks seem like their thing so I don't think they'd just take it off the menu if that makes you feel better. Tell him you can get regular drinks anywhere but where else do your drinks glow!?

Just a quick pop in for a couple more trip itineraries:

Day 9 - Sept 12th

We're up early and at 'em today to go to IOA and US and visit WWoHP. We just have one day two park passes so we'll have to get everything done in one day.

I have been reading a bit about touring around Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade but I don't want to look too much because I want a lot of it to be a surprise. I'm really excited to see everything. We've never been!

In addition to WWoHP, I want to do the Mummy ride. Which is my favorite at US.

Then, I HAVE to do the Raptor Encounter at IOA. My favorite movie in the WHOLE world is Jurassic Park.

I have no idea how long we'll be at US/IOA. I anticipate it being a long day. We have no ADRs scheduled to keep it flexible!

I wish they were open past dark because I hear that everything is awesome at night.


Day 10 - Sept 13th

We'll sleep in a bit and then it is over to Animal Kingdom. I think. This is originally our second scheduled day but we added the bonus Sunday night Labor Day weekend so this is technically our third at AK. Which is my favorite park so it shouldn't be a problem. However, I wouldn't be opposed to doing something else this day if my parents want.

Again, we have no FP+s because we don't have enough park days on our tickets.

Sorry today is boring on paper but it could be really fun and spontaneous in real life!
​

3 Days to Go!!!!!!!!!

 

[Raeven]

So close!

We didn't get to do the Raptor Encounter last year because of the lines so I really want to try it this year.

Eeek! I am worried about the lines there - I hear that people line up early. I don't know how to schedule it with Harry Potter, though. Just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best!

 

[VACamm]

Have you finished packing yet???

Since we are flying to WDW on the same day... I def will keep an eye out for you in the parks! We do have our 'rough' schedule with morning FP+'s and dinner ADR's... but with our park hoppers we plan on bouncing all over the place.

2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DexLabDeeDee]

BOOOO Hurricane Hermine!

I hope that everyone traveling in the next few days gets to where they need to go quickly and safely!

For our trip, I think we should be okay. We'll probably have a very rainy arrival day on Saturday. I am hoping that everything clears up by Sun night because I have a date with EE!! I am going to make this happen! Even if I have to buy a park hopper to run to AK after Le Cellier on Monday to ride EE at 10pm at night and throw up my steak. #YouGottaDoWhatYouGottaDo

Let's just hope that it doesn't come to that.

I finally finished the CM appreciation cards! I made 4 different designs and printed 16 off. When I get down there I will insert the glow bracelets because I don't want them to break and glow too soon!

Here is the finished product:




I also got a pedicure yesterday which felt great! I haven't done one all summer so, of course, I do one at the end of the summer. But I'm going to Disney so it's all worth it!

I got Fozzie Bear toes! "Warm and Fozzie"! It was one of the only polishes that had sparkles in it. And it's a Muppet so I had to. Gold isn't my best color because it blends a too much with my skin but oh well. Rose pink is my best but it didn't come with any sparkles!

I apologize in advance for the feet picture for any of you who don't care for feet. Skip ahead!

More to do tonight: packing and I have to send off the two dresses that I got from Amazon that weren't the size and I need to go to Target.

Last of my itinerary:

Day 11 - Sept 14th

Up and at 'em early to Epcot!

I want to go straight to Mission: Space, I think. We also need to run over to TT. I also want to try and go see Anna and Elsa but that might be a nightmare. Not sure.

We have FP+s for 10am Character Spot, 11am FEA, and 2pm SE.

Today is also the surprise dinner at the Yachtsman at 6:30pm.

Even though it is super close to Epcot, I'm thinking we'll want to go home and then come back out to dinner.

Depending on how the week before went, we'll either do more Boardwalk or Disney Springs or just back to our Savannah.

Day 12 - Sept 15th

Our last day!

We're finishing off with an afternoon at MK.

This is my Belle day. I'm wearing my Disney bounding Belle outfit, we have a FP+ for ETwB at 12pm, and a BOG reservation for 1:35pm.

We also have a 2:30pm Pirates and a 8pm 7DMT because I wanted to ride it in the dark. So no 3rd FP+ for us. Which I'm hoping will be fine after our two week extravaganza.

Then we'll either watch Wishes or not. Go back to our room and cry while packing.

I kind of want to have a nice last night sit down dinner but I'm not sure how much we want to be tied down to something like that. Maybe we'll just walk up to Boma or something at one of the monorail resorts and see what happens.

Who knows, it's supposed to be relaxed, right???

Departure Day - Sept 15th

Our plane leaves at 11am so no last minute park stuff for us.

When we get home, we are leaving from the airport to go to the Northshore Inline so I have to have that bag packed and ready to go for DH to bring.

A good part of coming back is I get to see DH and my kitty again!

DH and I plan on Skyping throughout my trip which we have never done with each other before so we'll see how that goes. We tried last night just in the house and I ended up staring at his forehead most of the time.

So like I said, we'll see.

​

And that's it! I'll most likely be posting tomorrow so I'll see you one last time before we go!

2 DAYS TO DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

​

 

[DexLabDeeDee]

Have you finished packing yet???

Sssh...no! Ahhh. I HAVE to do it tonight. I've been really busy with other trip stuff the last two nights and I have a little more to do tonight but I HAVE to get SOMETHING in my suitcase tonight!

Since we are flying to WDW on the same day... I def will keep an eye out for you in the parks! We do have our 'rough' schedule with morning FP+'s and dinner ADR's... but with our park hoppers we plan on bouncing all over the place.

2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAAAYY!!!

Yes, please look for me! I'll look for you too. I don't think we have similar schedules at all but you never know!!! Can you be wearing your Pocahontas costume the whole time because then you would be easy to spot...

 

[Raeven]

I keep reading it as Hurricane Hermione

I've read on here that the Anna and Elsa lines aren't as bad at Epcot as they were at MK so I'm thinking of trying it too. I want to see the Royal Sommerhaus.

Aw we miss you by a day.You're last day is our first day, but since we're starting at Universal we still wouldn't have seen you.

2 days

Get to packing missy!

We're thinking the first or second week of May. We're hoping for lighter crowds and not too hot weather though it always seems to be hot anyway.

Your trip is in two weeks!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! I'm sitting here at my desk at work just watching Hermine on the radar and praying that the outer bands are GONE by tomorrow... AND looking at pretty pictures of Caribbean Beach Resort

Tomorrow night we have ADRs for dinner at Crystal Palace... so I'm gonna get my buffet on! I may even join the parade with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore.

I may be freaking out just a bit right now.... I want to hurry up and end this work day and go home and go straight to sleep so I can wake up and get on the plane!

Are you freaking out too????

OMGOSH... well I hope that your meeting goes QUICKLY ! My boss is out of the office all day, and I purposely did not schedule ANYTHING today. I actually blocked out my entire Outlook calendar haha.

You need to finish packing! Pop in a Disney Movie while you pack to make it more *Magical* !!
