We packed in separate suit cases when we went to Disney for a week and then Daytona for a week and it worked out fine. We left our Daytona clothes in the car so we would not have such a crowded room at the WDW hotel and then swapped out when we got to Daytona.


I am feeling your pain with all the shoes you have to take.

Fishing - now ya'll can be excited together!

Stress - I totally understand and think it is normal for us detailed planners to feel it!

Not long now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing about packing in seperate suitcases is that we don't have enough. We're using all of the suitcases that we have on the cruise. I'm thinking that we'll probably just put our clothes for WDW in a crate or something, and then put them in a suitcase on our way to WDW.

I can't believe it either. I'm starting to go into my "I don't know if I really want to go on this vacation" mode. It's part of my OCD I guess. I have my moments when I get really, really excited and can't wait to go. Then I have my moments when I think about being gone and something happenening. I guess I'm especially worried since everything happened with my Dad. I'm just a natural born worrier though. Mike says I do this everytime, so hopefully it will go away and I'll be able to enjoy everything!! I'm usually pretty sad when we first get on the ship too...I see all the little kids and wish that I could afford to bring all my nieces and nephews. It always breaks my heart and I end up crying because I feel guilty for taking such an expensive vacation. It's okay though, because now we have DVC and hopefully we'll be able to share Disney with my family through that!!

That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you!
I'm glad that someone else can relate to the way that I feel. I sometimes wonder if I'm just plain out crazy!
"No stinkin' thinkin'" is a dang good motto...I'm gonna just keep repeating that to myself!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!

[UGAFan0829]

Yep, we are here! It seems like we drove for 2 days straight, but we finally made it. We're just relaxing in our room right now, waiting to go check out some things before we tuck in for the night!!! Thanks for thinking of us! We are ready to start our Magical voyage tomorrow!

I just wanted to post a really quick update while I have a minute...
While I'm very sad that our cruise is over, I'm really excited about our 5 days here in Disney. The cruise was wonderful--everything that I could have expected and more. We had a wonderful time with Gayle and Brandi, and I hope that they will be joining us on another Disney Cruise in the future. One of the highlights of the cruise was the DIS meet last Saturday. It was so wonderful to finally meet everyone in person! Honestly, I was overwhelmed at the number of people who showed up at the meet. Everyone was wonderful, and I know that I've made some lasting friendships and made memories that we'll carry with us forever!
I know this is short, but we plan on making the most of our days here in Disney. I'll try to get started on my report as soon as I get home and get settled back in!!! Thank you to everyone who has stuck around!!

 

[cakesnjammom]

Missy! I am so glad you checked in and that your cruise was great!
Have ablast at Disney....
We are at 1 week and counting so by the time you get home I will be on the Magic!
Cannot wait to hear all about your trip

 

[Mickey's Goofy Gal]

Glad the cruise was everything and more! Have a wonderful stay at WDW and I can't wait for ya'll to get home. Hoping ya'll will get to come to the races that weekend! Looking forward to seeing many photos and hearing all about it!!!!!

 

[UGAFan0829]

Well, we're finally home! I can't believe that our big vacation has come and gone. It was definitely the trip of our dreams! I have so much to get done this weekend, but I plan on getting started on my report soon. I'm working on getting some pics put on to CD's for Brandi and Gayle now, then have to upload all the ones for the report, so it may take me a little while. I also need to order my Photopass CD for the WDW portion, but I'm sure that it will arrive before I get to that part of my report. I can wait to relive all our memories with y'all!

 

[Mickey's Goofy Gal]

I can't wait to hear about those memories too. I knew when I found out that ya'll were 23 minutes from home last night that it was bittersweet. Re-living the memories will hopefully make some of the excitement come back!

Welcome home
