My Self Obsessive Princess-Birthday Trip - Completed 4/30/07

[disneyfav4ever]

Since I'm still 135 days away - but know exactly what my plan is for my trip, (and in honor of the new pre-trip report board,) here is my pre-trip report for my Feb birthday-princess trip.

Cast of Character(s)

So far just me, but who knows if I'll meet any DISer's who I'll want to mention later.

My Great Idea

I call it great, others would call it excessive / obsessive / crazy, etc, (this could go on for awhile. The "others," (now this sound like Lost,) reasoning, "I would of just been less then two months ago," "I already have another trip planned in Oct," "Why do I want to go (by myself,) again." Etc, etc, etc. I'm sure most of you on here have heard a variety of these.

But I was talking to someone I work with, and somehow the topic of WDW came up, (hmm, I wonder how that happened, ) and she mentioned that she had been once for her birthday, (when she was little,) and how she had eaten in the castle with all the pricesses.

I went home from work that night in a I-want-to-go-to-Disney-for-my-birthday mood that I couldn't get out of. It was the only thing I could think of.

So I started playing around with some $ numbers, and figured out that since I would already have an AP from Dec, that a four-day trip would only cost about $500, and that was totally affordable.

So, knowing that I could (and the main word is could,) get away for $500, I made my budget $750, with a max of $1000. (Which for me, considering what I make, is fine.) I could go to WDW three times a year, and still pay off all my bills, and have a small amount of savings, but will limit myself to three times every two years, to make that small amount of savings larger.

I lot of people, (family, and indifferent to Disney friends,) told me that was stupid, to spend that much money for a few days in Disney. But they don't "get it," and that I don't care about money, I just want to spend my birthday in Disney, (for my 25th bitrthday I'm thinking about a trip to Disneyland.)

I planned this whole trip, booked my flight and rooms, made my ADR's, and bought tickets, in less then a week. So I had made some quick decisions.

The flight was easy, I knew I wanted an early one, and the 8:00 AM one is now like a usual for me, since this is the third time I've booked that one, (had that same time and flight number for every solo trip.) I also booked a 4:30 return flight, so I'd have the morning of my departure day in the parks.

I've already stayed at AS Music, and have Pop Century booked for my Dec trip, so I decided for my birthday I'd book AS Movies, (and, note-to-self, need to make a note on my reservation that it's my birthday, and that I'd prefer a room in the 101 Dalmations buildings.)

I also, immediatly after booking my room, got one of those Disney things for special events during my stay, which for my trip is the Pirate and Princess Party.

I had already known that there was a party on the night of my arrival, and that was the only party during my trip. So it was either go to the party, and maybe I'd be too tired to really enjoy it, or not go to the party.

I decided to buy a ticket. If I don't go to the party, I know I'll regret it later on. I mean, I regret not making one of my ADR's last year, so this would be horrifying for me. And even if I am too tired to run around the park, I'll still be able to enjoy the parade, fireworks, and character greetings. I would never miss out on character greetings - maybe there'll be a Jack Sparrow meet and greet. As much as I love the princesses, I'm in love with Jack Sparrow.

All of these decisions were made in one night. That same day I had talked to my co-worker about celebrating birthdays in Disney. That night I checked the PS/ADR caculator and report website to see what day I could make my ADR's. It was lucky I booked when I did, I was 186-days before my vacation, so I had just enough time to plan out my ADRs.

Since I was going to the P&P Party on my first night, (and since Disney keeps promoting LTT for dinner before these kinds of events,) I decided to book LTT for dinner, at 4:30. I've never been there before, (though I'm eating lunch there in Dec,) and I've always enjoyed character meals, so this seemed like a good choice.

For the next day, (day two, my birthday,) I only booked one meal, which is at CRT. And, lucky me, there is a showing of Spectro Magic that night, so that works out well.

For my last full-park day, (this is a very short trip for me, 4 days compared to my previous 11 and 12 day trips,) I booked the Akershus princess breakfast, and Brown Derby for a Fantasmic dinner package. (I was thinking about Le Cellier for lunch, but that may have been over kill.)

Since I have a late flight on my departure day, and MK has EMH that morning I'm thinking about booking Kona or CP for a late breakfast one of those days. I always mean to eat breakfast at Kona, but can never quite fit it into my schedule, and I love CP, so I have a choice to make.

Day to Day Plan

Arrival Day / Day 1

Wake up early I want to leave my house no later then 4:00 AM, so I should be up at 3:00 AM at the latest. My flight's at 8:00 AM, and is scheduled to arrive at MCO around 10:30 AM. So if nothing's delayed, and everything runs smoothly, I should be at AS Movies around noon. Like I said, I've had that same flight time before, and last time I was checked in, had been in my room, and was at AK by 1:00, so hopefully this goes just as well, except instead of rushing to a park, stay in my room for a couple of hours to rest.

Then get to MK by 4:00 PM for my dinner ADR at LTT at 4:30, (maybe be there by 3:00, and see the afternoon parade.) I figure an hour to an hour and a half for eating, so I should be back out in the MK by 6:00.

I don't know what the schedule is yet for the P&P Party, or even what all's going to happen. But I'd have just over six hours, (if I stay until 12:30 AM,) to do whatever, which my main priority will be the P&P special events.

Day 2 - My Birthday

I usually get around six hours of sleep, (depending on what time I get back from the party the night before,) I should be up around 7:00, and head to MGM for park opening at 9:00.

I'm not going to worry about seeing tons of attractions, but I do want to go on ToT, and see Voyage of the Little Mermaid. And then around 11:00 go to Beaches and Cream for lunch.

Then after lunch, go to MK, and, (if I miss it the day before,) see the 3:00 parade, (what time is the parade? ) And then I have my dinner ADR at CRT for 4:30, (I like to eat early.)

Then, according to the parks hours and schedule as of now, there's a showing of Spectro Magic that night, and Wishes.

MK closes at 8:00 PM that night, so I'll either go back to AS Movies, or, (depending on how tired I am,) to DTD. (There's no EMH at any park that night.)

Day 3

Wake up, and be at Epcot at park opening 9:00 AM. (I'm one of those people who is always at the park, at the front of the pack, the second the park opens, but it's worth it for me.)

I'm not going to do a lot at Epcot, I have an hour and a half between park opening, and my breakfast ADR at Akershus at 10:30 AM, so the only ride I'm going to make a point of going on is going to be Soarin.

After breakfast, I'll go from Norway, to France, for a quick tour of WS, (stopping in Italy for a glass of Rosa Regale,) and then taking the ferry from the International Gateway to MGM.

Then, at MGM, try to see Beauty and the Beast, and the afternoon parade, (at 3:30, which may be complicated with a 4:00 ADR.)

After dinner, (5:00ish,) I'll have more then an hour before getting my seat for Fantasmic, so ToT again. (Next to Soarin, ToT is my favorite ride.) And then Fantasmic at 7:00, which is also park closing.

Then either AS Movies, (this will be a Wed, so maybe get back by 9:00 to see Lost,) or DTD.

Departure Day / Day 4

MK has EMH this morning, so it's open at 8:00 AM, and I have no intention of sitting around AS Movies until my pick-up, (which should be around 2:00,) so I'll go to MK for an hour or two, and then have a late breakfast, (I should make an ADR.)

 

[serendipity]

Your trip sounds wonderful! You are quite the planner also. I can't wait to hear more!

 

[White as Snow]

You just make me happy. Most people think that my DH and I are crazy for being so Disney obsessed since we don't have ankle biters (children) yet. I'm SOSOSOSO glad to know that there is someone roughly my age out there who loves Disney and "gets it." I'm also glad to know that there is someone out there who plans like I do. Can't wait to hear about the and party!!

 

[serendipity]

awww I know what you mean. No one I know gets it either. Everytime I go to disney I feel like I have to make an excuse! Oh well, there are others out there just like us! I noticed you were thinking of going to Disneyland for your 25th and I would HIGHLY suggest it. We went last fall for our first time, which was a great time of year to go weather and crowd wise. Call me a blasphemer, but the disneyland park has way more magic then the magic kingdom. It just has more of that feel. I guess because Walt himself was really the one to come up wth everything. It's designed better and there's some really nice attractions that they don't have at Disneyworld, for example a whole lot more in fantasyland including an alice in wonderland and pinnocchio dark ride. They have roger rabbit cartoon spin and a much better and bigger toon town. Tomorrowland features an updated space mountain. Pirates is a more fun ride as there are several drops. During october through december the haunted mansion is transformed into nightmare before christmas which is really an amazing thing to watch. There's also a snow white musical show. A lot of people say fantasmic is better at the land. As for california adventure it's getting there. There's definately enough to want to go from bugs life, muppet vision, the aladdin show, teh new monsters inc ride, and all the other things. Overall to take a long vacation I would always stick to Disneyworld but for a short one I would always go with Disneyland. GO!

Overall to take a long vacation I would always stick to Disneyworld but for a short one I would always go with Disneyland. GO!

The more I think about it, the more appealing a Disneyland trip sounds. I was watching walkthroughs of the Disneyland Hotels, and I think I would love to stay at the Disneyland Hotel or the Grand Californian. So let's see, that would be a seven day / six night trip? I was looking at the DL ticket prices, and unless I get an AP it looks like the longest ticket is a 5-day pass. (But after a five-hour flight I'm sure I wouldn't want to go to a park my arrival day. This is now turning into a DL pre-trip report apparently. But that's okay, they're both b-day trips, so they kind of go together. So WDW for my 23rd, and DL for my 25th. Sounds like a good plan to me.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

My 23rd birthday is already all planned out, and has little to no problems with it. Everything's booked, and I have nothing left I need to order or work out with it. Other then my wardrobe, which shouldn't be too difficult since I've gone in Jan and March before, so Feb shouldn't be so different weather-wise.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Well, after going through pages and pages of my subscribed threads, (I really should delete the ones I don't read,) I finally found this. Now, the last time I posted on this thread was more then three months ago, and there's been a major change in plans, or what could be a major change.

DBF may be joining me. I leave in nine days, and he's "thinking" about it. Why hasn't he decided yet? I mean, I get frantic when a trip less then six months out, and am already past my ADR date. And he's just like, whatever. We have been talking about him going since Dec, and I think he's probably going to go, but I'm not counting on anything until he's actually on the plane with me.

But, assuming he does go, (and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he does, I do want him there,) my plan will be altered. My day to day plan already altered since when I posted it months ago. Mainly since I decided to fit in some time for AK, since I've decided the Finding Nemo musical is now on my must-see list.

But with BF going, I need to tweak it even more, though not so much that I have to cut out my must-dos.

BF has never been to Disney World before, (why I am dating this man is beyond me. ) He can't do thrill rides due to medical reasons, so I won't do them either. . . probably. He knows nothing about Disney World, and I mean nothing.

Plus, he's an unbeliever. He asked me why I want to meet characters, when all they are are "people dressed in costumes," and "how many Mickeys are there in each park?" To which I responded by covering my ears, jumping up and down, and yelling there's only one Mickey Mouse.

Just today we were talking about the Pirate and Princess Party, and I was asking him to order his ticket now, just because I'm worried they'll sell out, and he won't be able to attend with me. Our conversation went something like this.

Me "Don't you want to go and see the parade, and fireworks. . ."
Him "I like fireworks."
Me "We can see all the characters, doesn't that sound like fun?"
Him "No"
Me "No? What the heck do you mean no?"
Him "Whose more important, me, or the characters."
Me "Jack Sparrow is going to be there."
Him "Are you saying I'm less important then Jack Sparrow."
Me "Ummm."
Him "Well. . ."
Me "I'm thinking."
Him "What if I wear a pirate hat, we can pretand I'm Sparrow."
Me "LOL. You couldn't pull that off."

I know he's going to go to the P&P Party, assuming he's there, and tickets are still available. Though now I think he might be going just to chaperone me when I meet Jack.

We were also having another conversation about how we'll only be gone four days and three nights, and how we could get away with just carry-ons. I keep on thinking I can, and then can't, and then I try packing, but I think, no way will everything fit, to which BF replied, "we don't need all that crap." What? What crap? I'm only packing enough clothes for a few days, three pairs of pants, pjs, a swimsuit, two or three pairs of shoes, six-seven, maybe eight tops, two hoodies, a sweatshirt, my jacket. . . just the bare minimum. And I need room for souveniers, to which he replied that I "don't need any more crap."

I think we have to have a discussion as to what constitutes crap.

All I have packed so far is clothes, and I know I'm going to take my Pass Porter, pins, (he asked me what I needed pins for, what a moron, LOL,) papers, a book, lotion, shampoo, (which I'm still debating weather 3 oz is enough,) and who knows what else. Then on the way back I know I'm going to have at least a mug, more pins, and scrapbook stuff.

If BF is with me we'll not be using DME, which is what I've always used since they started offering it. DBF would rent a car. (Hey, we can stop at the outlets, and buy crap. )

Also, BF and I have never traveled together. Wait, scratch that, I've never traveled with a boy before. And I get really self conscious about stuff. Like in the morning I worry what my hair looks like, and if my breath smells, and who knows what else. And I have to live with a boy for four days!

Be back later with my day to day plan that I've had to tweak for BF.

 

[tubachick]

happy early birthday!!!

hope you enjoy your trip. Can't wait to hear about the & party!!!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Day to Day Plan

My plan is almost the same as before, but there are a few changes. Even if BF does not go with me there are a few changes. My original plan had me skipping AK, since my only must-do there was Festival of the Lion King, but now I have another must-do there, so I'll no longer be skipping AK. So this is my new, revised plan;

Day One

My flights haven't changed, and BF swears he booked the same flight as me, which, when I asked him which flight he was on, he replied, "an early one." We fly out of a big city, and there's at least a dozen or so flights to Orlando every morning, so his "early one," has me worried it's not the same flight as mine.

Either way, I get to Orlando at 10:30, and BF will get there who knows when. I really don't like knowing exactly what he has booked, but every time I ask him what his flight number is he doesn't remember, and doesn't have it on him to check.

Anyway, assuming he actually did get on my flight, (which I really hope he is,) we'll go, rent a car, stop at a store somewhere, probably get lost, and then at some point make it to All Star Movies. If I had known BF was going to be there, (or was sure he was going to be there, I should say,) I would of booked something else, either AK Lodge, or GF, or maybe the Poly. . .

After we check-in, we're going to rest in the room for a few hours, and get to MK by dinner time, to make it to my 4:30 ADR at LTT, where we'll have to explain to the hostess why there's two people now instead of one.

If we have time after dinner and Wishes, I want to try to ride Phillarmagic, the Adventures of Pooh, Pirates, the Haunted Mansion, and Space Ranger Spin, as well as see Dream Along with Mickey.

We can see Wishes, before the park "closes," then we have the Pirate and Princess Party. Where I'll be dragging around BF to meet all the characters.
The only two must-dos for me at the P&P Party, (besides seeing characters,) are the parade and fireworks.

So that's day one, I'll be back later with the other days plans.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Day Two

I'm worried about two things for this day; 1) weather or not BF will be able to get up in time for park opening, and 2) how hard will it be to change my CRT ressie to two.

I wouldn't push to get to park at opening, but we only have two full days. I know I can handle it, but I don't know weather or not BF will be grumpy with not being able to sleep in, and having crappy coffee on top of that.

And CRT has that whole pre-pay thing, so I'm wondering if it's going to be tricky to get him in there.

Anyway, I figure I'll get up at 6:00, and let him sleep until 7:00. (I need more time to get ready.) He wants breakfast, I wouldn't need breakfast, but we were talking about it, and apparently, he does.

My theory for breakfast, is I don't eat it. I never has breakfast TS ADRs except for character meals. And if I am hungry I usually just grab a pastry or something.

Oh well, him wanting an actual meal for breakfast just gives me a reason to get those chocolate chip pancakes I have once each trip.

I want to leave AS around 8:00, to make sure we're at AK at 9:00 for opening. I also want to see the opening celebration, which I've never seen at AK.

The only two things I have to see at AK are Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo. If the schedule at Steve Soare's website doesn't change in the next week, (which I doubt it will, I've been following it for awhile, and the show times are the same,) we could make it to the 9:40 Festival of the Lion King and the 11:30 showing of Finding Nemo.

After that, because BF will want lunch. (Why do boys eat so much?) We could go to Tusker House or Flame Tree BBQ. Probably Flame Tree since BF has a thing for BBQ, and that's on the way out of the park.

Since I plan on seeing Lion King first, I thought we could walk from there to Africa to Asia to the Nemo theater, and then through Dinoland, so we could walk through the whole park, and at least take in the atmosphere.

After lunch, we could go to MK, and see anything we missed the day before; Dream Along with Mickey, the afternoon parade, Jack's Tutorial, etc. We have, or I have, an early dinner reservation at 4:10.

I think, if I swet talk enough, and tell my sob story, of how it's my birthday, and that I want to eat with my BF, that they'll let us in together. I know waiting until the last minute is probably risky, but like I said, I don't know for sure if he's going to be there, and I don't want to have to cancel my ADR, risk losing it, to have to rebook for two, be charged $100, and then have BF not come.

The way I see it is that I already have a table for two, so why not just let him eat with me?

Then after dinner, see whatever we've missed, or want to see again, or if there's anything BF wants to do. (Keeping in mind, he can't do thrill rides.) And then see Spectro Magic and Wishes.

Now, depending on how tired BF is, we'll either go back to AS, or go to DTD, for some shopping. I want to get to DTD at some point, and my only options are this night or the next night, and I'd rather go this night, since I don't want to miss Lost the next night.

BF won't want to shop for long, so I'll try and be good, and just go tho the necessary places; Wonderful World of Memories, Art of Disney, Basin, Mickey's Pantry, Days of Christmas, Arribas Brothers, Goofy's Candy Company, Once Upon a Toy, Pin Traders, Pooh Corner, Disney Tails, and of course, World of Disney. BF is going to love that, LOL, and I'm not going to the Lego store, (well maybe we will, and I can drop him off with all the other boys, and he can play with Legos while I shop, LOL.)

So I figure we'll just do the Marketplace. If we do go the next night, I'd want to go to Pleasure Island too, but he's not into clubs, (BF does not drink either,) though I would be interested in having our Valentine's fortune told.

 

[natale1980]

I have never seen a table made just for one. So I can't see why they would give you a hard time about BF eating with you.
Make sure you have on your Birthday pin... I hear that helps a lot

HAVE FUN!!! We may see you there!

I'm going to pick up a pin on day one, as soon as I arrive at MK, and will also be wearing all of my "Happy Birthday Princess," pins, (I have all six with the princesses on. I also made notes on all my ADRs that it was my birthday, (I intend to get as much special treatment as possible, (even if it's just people saying Happy Birthday,) for the whole trip,) and specified that the dinner at CRT was my actual birthday day.

 

[BriarRosie]

Great report so far! Two things I wanted to bring up:

1. When you check in at All Star Movies, your room may not be available
for you to rest, but if it is ready, great! Just keep in mind that if you want
a place to relax, it might not be in your room. I've had experiences
where my room has been ready, but more often than not, I've had to wait
until "official" check in time to get my room assignment. The front desk CM
will hand you a business card with a phone number to call (if you play in the
parks until your room is ready).

2. You shouldn't have any problems adding your DBF to your ADR's. Like you
and Natale have reasoned, 2-top tables are ok for 1-2 people. You're not
bumping any additional space. Similarly, a party of 3 can add a 4th person,
same logic.

Oh, and I do want to add that you really should confirm with DBF his
flight info. If he gets into MCO later than you, he might not know how to
deal with Magical Express.


Have fun and Happy Early Birthday!

Every trip I check-in before noon, and have been fortunate enough to get a room immediatly. Of course, I've also always gone straight to the parks so could of cared less if I got the room right away. Now that I want to rest for awhile, I probably won't get the room immediatly, LOL.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Day Three

We will either have an early night, over at MK closing at 8:00, or a kind of early night, whenever BF drags me away from the shops at DTD.

Day three is the only day we'll be going to both Epcot and MGM, so I want to make the most of my time, especially since BF has been to neither. That being said, I do have two TS meals to plan around, so a lot of attractions we'll be skipping.

At Epcot I want to ride Soarin, and I had wanted to see Turtle Talk too, but that's now in rehab. So I though we could ride Soarin, and then go to Character Connection and Club Cool, since Mission Space and Test Track are out due to medical reasons. Maybe go to the Imagination or Living Seas pavillion. We do only have an hour in Future World, since we have breakfast at 10:10.

For breakfast we'll be eating at Akershus, since I wanted to do a princess meal. (Note - I made all these ADRs back in August, when I thought I was going to be solo, so there to my liking.) BF won't mind the princesses, and this guarantees me seeing at least some of them. And this gives BF breakfast, which he just has to eat. Though he's going to say something about breakfast for two being $50. At least I have the DDE still.

After breakfast, I figure we can do a quick tour of World Showcase. I don't have to spend a lot of time in WS, though I would like more then an hour or so. So we can walk through France, (and skip Canada and United Kingdom, which is probably a good idea, since if I go anywhere near Canada, I'll just get upset that I'm not eating at Le Cellier this trip.) Then we can take the boat to MGM.

As an after-thought, (it's too late to change my flights and book an extra night,) I should of made this a five day - four night trip, instead of four days, and then I could of fit in Boma and Le Cellier, and given each of the parks more time.

At MGM I want to see Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and ride the Tower of Terror. There's two problems with this. I know BF would rather see Lights, Motors, Actions, and the show schedule, (assuming next week's is the same,) had the only showing we could make of LMA at the same time as the only showing we could make of Beauty and the Beast. I've already decided to see LMA, for BF's sake, I didn't really care for it, and am going to be in Beauty and the Beast withdrawl. Unless for some reason BF sees how truly upset I am and we go to see Beauty and the Beast instead. Of course, that would be his decision.

The second problem would be Tower of Terror, which BF could not ride. I know I said I wasn't going to do any thrill rides, since BF couldn't. But it's the Tower of Terror. (And I've already given up Beauty and the Beast. I think I'll get a FP, and ride it. BF won't mind, he already said he didn't want me skipping rides on his part, and it would just be this one.

I have a dinner ADR at 4:00, with the Fantasmic package, at Brown Derby. This is the one place I know I can count on to have excellant food, that I know BF will enjoy. (It will also be the only meal that's not going to be over-ridden with characters, that BF will also enjoy. ) So we can have a nice dinner, and then maybe have time to ride the Great Movie ride, or Voyage of the Little Mermaid, if we didn't get to it in the afternoon. Then we'll see Fantasmic.

After Fantasmic, (which is at 7:00, so should be over at 7:30,) we can either go to DTD or back to AS. I don't want to miss Lost, but I could. We could go to Pleasure Island, (this is V-Day,) or to Disney Quest, which I've never been to, but I think BF would enjoy. He's big on video games.

 

[BriarRosie]

Every trip I check-in before noon, and have been fortunate enough to get a room immediatly. Of course, I've also always gone straight to the parks so could of cared less if I got the room right away. Now that I want to rest for awhile, I probably won't get the room immediatly, LOL.

I need your check-in karma!! I'm usually a "noontime check-in" girl,
yet I rarely get my room early! Good luck and I hope your karma stays.

Also, he wouldn't mind the princesses, I'm sure. Especially if Jasmine is there. LOL.

And if you plan to go to DTD after leaving the park, you'll need to get to a resort first.
There aren't any busses that run between the parks and DTD. The Marketplace and
Pleasure Island bus stops are resort busses only.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Day Four

This will be our departure day. Which I will not want to come. There's an EMH morning at MK this day, so we'll either make that, or hang out in the room.

I made an ADR for Crystal Palace this day for breakfast. Since BF and I had that discussion that he "needs" I decided to book this one "just in case." He had this theory of waiting until that day, and then if we wanted a breakfast just to try and get a last minute ADR.

Me being me, booked CP, and figured we could cancel it at the last minute if we decided not to eat. Better to be safe then sorry. Besides I was going through CP withdrawl, and decided I couldn't have a trip without eating here. Why miss another one of my favorites?

So we have a 10:25 ADR, that as long as BF doesn't think Disney is the worst place ever, (and if that's the case, I may have to break up with him, LOL,) we will be keeping.

After breakfast, we don't have a flight until 4:30, so don't have to leave for MCO until 1:00 at the earliest, so we'll still have an hour or so to re-visit attractions, or do some last minute shopping, or get a really early start to the airport.

mind[/I] the princesses, and this guarantees me seeing at least some of them. And this gives BF breakfast, which he just has to eat. Though he's going to say something about breakfast for two being $50. At least I have the DDE still.

For some reason, the men always seem to have a thing for Jasmine...


But as for going to Disneyland - DO IT!!!! Serendipity is right, it just does have more magic. I just adore DL - you'll have a blast!

Well, I leave the day after tomorrow. I'll probably spend all of tomorrow morning on the DIS, then I have work tomorrow afternoon, which is going to go sooo slowly, and then tomorrow night, I'll be running around like a crazy person.

I packed yesterday. I think I have everything I need. I am just taking a carry-on. I have six shirts, two pairs of capris, sandals, a hoodie, and then the clothes I'm going to wear down; a top, sweatshirt, jeans, and my jacket. I also have my Pass Porter, my folder with all my papers, my camera, two new 1 GB memory cards, a quart-size ziploc bag with all my toilitries, my pins, some candy bars, a box of cookies. . . I should grab a book, I got one about a week ago for the plane, but finished it yesterday. I don't think there's anything I forgot to pack.

I can't seem to find my autograph book though. That's not a huge deal. I can just get a new one. I know the one I had was almost full, so I would've probably needed a new one anyway. I know the one I was using is around somewhere. . .

In just under 24 hours, I'll be landing in Florida. I'm getting a little annoyed with BF right now. I haven't talked to him since Friday. Yesterday, I kept on calling him, but not getting an answer, and then today, his phone's not even on. (He only has a cell.) It's very aggravating, since he, (as far as I know,) is planning on going to Florida tomorrow.

It's not like I have to worry about him getting to the airport, or to nag him about his packing. We're not doing any signature - resort dress meals, so I don't need to worry about whatever clothes he plans on packing. Knowing him, he isn't packed yet.

I'm just going to keep trying to get through to him the rest of the day.
