Story in USA today hints that the Dream is going to Castaway on Wednesday instead of tomorrow to allow for clean up. Good news if true. [

How did everyone do? Please check in and let us know you are all ok!!!

We had minimal damage here at our home, we even kept our power! That almost never happens even though we have underground power lines!

Just a quick heads up for the fish exchange. We are back to GTY right now. As soon as we find out what our new cabin number will be I will post it. If we don't get it before we leave I will let you know at the meet and greet or attach it to our FE gifts which we will hand out the first night with a note with our new cabin number unless someone has a better solution for us.
Safe travels everyone! Hope Sandy has moved on and everyone is doing okay!

Just dropped the fur kids off at their resort, heading out to dinner, back to finish packing. Our flight still shows on time.

Tried to make our shirts today and the graphic was too dark and did not show up on the shirts, so we will be in something other than the red shirts
but did get the graphic printed for a magnet for our door.

Stitched up the pockets on our FE, put a label saying we were not participating in FE gifts. I jsut like to hang my FE by our door.

I guess I should have tried the shirts before the day before, then I could have had time to do it again either on white or something else. I was very sad.

Once we get home, finishing last minute packing then off to dreamland....leaving for the airport even earlier than usual because of all the people who have been stranded! WE are checked in!

Stephanie - What airport are you flying from? We fly though BWI and I'm having a second round of panic attacks about if that is still going to work. Was researching rental car options today but geez I don't want to do that. Of all times - literally the first time in years - that we haven't had a direct flight to Orlando because we were trying to be good parents and keep kids in school for Friday. Oy.

We are flying out of Dulles in VA. BWI is too far..if I didn't go out of Dulles it would be Reagan. Im pretty sure you should be ok by Friday though, I would think. Can you rebook and bypass BWI? I can't seem to find any info beyond today re BWI.

We survived Sandy fine at home but my work took 16inches of water in it in Ocean City

I'm sure it will be fine as well but I haven't been able to find any info re BWI beyond today either. That's the only thing that makes me nervous. But there are so many flights that go out of BWI to Orlando and they are all currently full (yikes). I did go on to the Southwest site to check tomorrow's schedule and it looks like most flights south are going. Only one of the flights with Orlando as a final destination was canceled. And there were 15 or more.

Hey Joe, how did you guys make out? Hope you are OK! We're fine, just patiently yay waiting for Fri.

Good idea to use the TShirt graphic as a magnet. I'm going to try that if I get a chance.

My sister works at BWI and the airport was open today. Lots of short tempers, but planes were flying. You'll be fine by Friday.

Most of our airports opened today, so our flight tomorrow morning should go off as scheduled! I'm still nervous every time I check the status & wait for the cancelled, but still says ON TIME! I had a car rented, just in case, cause there's no availability on any Southwest flight until Saturday night & that's just too late! So happy to not have to drive!

Now if I could just finish packing & get the car loaded! Gonna be a long day tomorrow. See y'all Saturday!!!! Can't wait....though I do feel guilty to be going to my happy place & then on to paradise while I leave everyone behind to deal w/ the aftermath. But I think I'll get over it when I see Mickey!
