To the AAA office that is..... I guess our TA was afraid to mail them for fear that my husband would read them.. YES, he still has NO idea about staying at the Boardwalk.. I am just so excited about that.. When I told him last night about the documents coming he said " what documents".. HAHAHA So, it is on my agenda to pick them up today..
Would love to post a picture.. But, still don't have a dang camera! We are really on the home stretch now.. I can't believe in just a few weeks we will finally be at my favorite place in the entire world with the 2 favorite people in my life..
I held a little girls night at a local boutique the other day.. A very last minute thing.. I invited around 40 woman, and when it looked as if barely 10 were going to make, I asked the owner if she wanted me to cancel. Since the store is not open late at night, she said go for it, it would be more customers than she would ordinarily have.. What is great about hosting a party is that I got 20% of the sales FREE.. Yup, you heard it right.. FREE.. I ended up getting so much stuff.. Over $200 worth of stuff and only 5 people came.. Totally loving my new clothes that will be coming with me to Disney..
The next 2 weekends are ridiculously busy.. and next week is April vacation in these parts.. but, I promise to get my butt in gear and get some more last minute details on my PTR...

NOthing beats getting a great deal on new clothes! It is so exciting when all of the paperwork starts coming in and you feel so official Time will statrt to fly by now!

 

[loganpaulsmom]

Speaking of the paperwork.. I went to the AAA office on Friday to pick it up.. All of my paperwork is correct but... the yellow luggage tags for ME are incorrect. They still say Coronado Springs. My TA asked if I wanted to have them changed.. But, I think I am going to keep them the same.. Reason is.. I can still keep the surprise of staying at the Boardwalk until we get to ME at Disney.. My TA said that all I need to do is going to the Disney desk at the airport and tell them that we are actually staying at the Boardwalk.. Seems easy enough right? Hopefully, the transfer goes off without a hitch.. if not.. no problem, all of us are going to have enough clothes for half our stay in our carry on's..

I purchased a camera on Friday as well.. As much as I would LOVE an SLR, they are just too expensive.. I got a Panasonic Point and shoot and it should be coming on Friday.. Hope I like it..
Now the only other major purchase I need to make is a new phone.. My phone doesn't keep a charge anymore and it is over 2 years old.. I purchased hubby an Iphone for his birthday.. I am not sure if I will go that route.. but, I definitely need one that has the internet.. I am thinking I may try a live report.. hahaha.. we will see how that goes..

I can't believe we have less than 2 weeks.. It seemed a couple of months ago that it would never get here.. Now, it's so close.. And of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't add 1000 extra things to my plate this week.. Here is one for you..

One of the famous jewelers we have in Boston is having a ROYAL contest.. To find the best " Royal" Love story.. The winners get a replica of Kate and Will's ring worth..... $10,000..
I wrote a little story, posted some pictures and in just less than 24 hours I already have 74 votes..
Can you imagine if we won that a couple of days before we were going to Disney? I seriously don't think I would be able to contain myself..

Are you getting excited? Only one week to go.

 

[loganpaulsmom]

I am going NUTS.. I can't believe that we are going to be there in just a week.. I am So excited..

 

[BELLA 361]

Hi, I'm in. I am new on the disboards. Just joined. I think you are doing a great job. Can't wait to here how your trip went. My family and I are going in May too.

 

[BELLA 361]

Wow you are very organized. I love the idea of having someone make you disney cothes. That way you can get exactly what you want Logan is adorable

 

[BELLA 361]

GREAT NEWS

 

[loganpaulsmom]

So how did this happen???? Less than a week before our trip. I will be honest, I was Flipping out a little looking at the weather.. It showed NO sun for almost our entire 9 day trip.. When you spend so much time being a control freak and planning everything down to the very last detail it is so frustrating to NOT be able to control the weather.. I think the weather has turned around.. I am completely fine with a shower a day.. But, entire days I would be pretty sad, especially since our weather for like 5 months has been HORRIBLE!!!
I have been running around this last week getting last minute things.. I have to upload some pictures to show Logan's room right now.. I think I may have gone a bit overboard.. But, when you have been in our situation for the past 4 years I guess being a little excessive is OK..

More to come later when I upload some pictures..

Don't stress about the weather, there is nothing you can do about it but make the best of it. We always used to worry about the forecast when we booked a beach vacation and the weather always was better than forecasted.

I can't believe it is almost time for your trip!

HI! I'm new and still catching up, but I wanted to check out your report since your trip is coming up soon! How exciting!

I know I can't believe it either. It really hit me this morning when I told Logan he only had to go to school today and Mon. and then he's off for like 2 weeks..

HI! I'm new and still catching up, but I wanted to check out your report since your trip is coming up soon! How exciting!

Welcome.. I have had so much fun writing about my trip and now that it is almost here, I just can't wait..

 

[loganpaulsmom]

3 days.. I just can't even believe it.. It is finally here.. And the weather reports are great..
For the past 7 months I have spent so much time planning this vacation. I have researched and spent hours upon hours on the DIS to know everything I need to know.. HA.. and I am going to throw that all out the window.. Honestly, the closer it gets to the trip the more I start thinking about all the running around.. and I don't want to run around.. We are up very early on Wed. 4:30am, and with a 5 year old who is not easy to begin with that could have a disasterous affect.. So, I said to hubby.. We have ressies at LTT at 6:30 as long as we get there for that, I am totally fine with hanging at the pool or relaxing... Who is this woman??
I just have jammed packed so much into this trip and I guess after having suffered through such and awful winter i am fine with just sitting around the pool and soaking up the rays..
I have said I will provide pictures of everything we are taking.. I haven't even organized yet, thus no pictures, but today is my day to do that.. So, look for pictures tonight..

You know what, that is pretty much what happens to me each trip. I make up a good schedule which ends up being tossed out the window as soon as we get there. Usually we still go to the park I picked for the day but other than that the day is fluid. I remember in 2007 when we went for the "first" time I had made up note cards with touring plans from the Unofficial Guide, they lasted an hour. Honestly, you have done the research, you know what parks will be crowded on which days, you know how to work the fastpass system, you have ADR's in place, so just go with the flow, you will be fine and have a great time!
