Great pictures! Looks like you had a fun Easter.

Actually-What is not a week----only 6 days to go--and since it is already noon-how about 5-1/2 days--sounds much better. It looks like you had a great Easter with your boys and Jeff. Look for a PM from me soon.

[DisMomAmy]

Looks like you guys had a fun day yesterday.

Your list is coming along very nicely. I hope mine looks like that next week at this time.

 

[carissanboys]

Wow Missy - you've got a lot done! I hope the crowds are okay for you guys.

 

[cjackearl]

Glad you found the fans. You are super organized Disney momma. Looks like you have almost your whole list completed. Whatcha putting on your ipod?

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Glad you had a nice Easter

Thanks! I still FEEL like I have a lot to do, but looking at the list helps me see how much I've been able to get done already. One day at a time..it will all get done!

Wow Missy - you've got a lot done! I hope the crowds are okay for you guys.

I do too! April 20th, our first park day is a 9, the rest of the days are 7s. Our last park day, the 27th, is a 5. We'll see how it goes!

Glad you found the fans. You are super organized Disney momma. Looks like you have almost your whole list completed. Whatcha putting on your ipod?

I have such diverse tastes in music...I have a little of everything on the iPod. Let's see...some Christian music (Newsboys, Salvador, Todd Agnew, Third Day, Mark Schultz, RelientK, Hawk Nelson, Natalie Grant). I have some Matchbox 20, Fighters, Blink 182, Barenaked Ladies, Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, Weezer, etc. Then I have some "vintage" stuff (Journey, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Van Morrison, Steve Miller Band, James Taylor). I want to add some Disney tunes (of course!) and download a few new Jason Mraz songs from iTunes.

We are really excited! It's a good idea to recheck your schedules...there seem to be a lot of last minute changes going on. Always better to be prepared!!

 

[carissanboys]

I really think the crowds will be fine for you.

[Villainess]

Your list is shrinking!!!!!! Woo Hoo! Next week at this time we will BOTH be in WDW!!!!!

My girls love the Newsboys! I gave Madeline a Krystal Meyer CD for Easter. It's a little more rockin' than some other Christian music, but really good! Check her out if you get the chance. We love Barenaked Ladies, especially Postcard from Chimpanzees, and James Taylor, next to Billy Joel, is my favorite! I saw him in concert in '87 and I bought his Christmas album this year. K, now I have to go update MY ipod!

 

[DisMomAmy]

5 DAYS!!!!

 

[ChefMickey123]

Wow,

We are almost there--4 and a half, days. Did you get my PM?

It is hard to believe that on Sunday night I'll be devouring a porterhouse at Yachtsman Steakhouse and going to Fantasmic before and all-night MK Marathon.


Gotta go, it is almost time to get ready for work.

Day 6 Celebration time!

Yesterday our celebration was to play Disney Sorry! Unfortunately, with our schedules, we weren't all going to be home at the same time to play together. So...I played with the two younger boys after school and then when Jeff got home from work and after he picked Dan up from baseball practice, he played with all three boys. (I had a scrapbooking event in the evening.) UGH....see why we need a vacation!!?

Jeff didn't take pics, but here are a few of the game I played with Jonah and Isaiah.

Guess who won??

We're down to 5 DAYS today and it's MOROCCO DAY! I'm so excited to cook our special dinner and dessert! I'll post pics tomorrow. Thanks for reading everyone!

We love the Newsboys too. We saw them in concert about a year and a half ago and they were incredible! I googled Krystal Meyer so I can take a look!

5 DAYS!!!!

Thanks for the dance Amy!

I did get your PM...I'm about ready to send one back so keep your eyes open! I still can't believe you are going to travel all day and still go to TWO parks at night!! Whew!

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

My husband and I love playing Sorry...although we just have classic Sorry! Disney Sorry looks very cute! Can't wait to see the pics of Morocco night!

 

[rsjj]

Enjoy your special dinner tonight and can't wait to see pictures!
