Hey PlaneJoy1! I'm originally from Atlanta, or to be more exact a little north at the Home of the Big Chicken! LOL As far as lime and hotels and such, there are a few folks going to the P&P party the night before. I think some folks are renting a boat for a fireworks cruise. My group of me and my DH are staying at the Radisson and having dinner with family. There's a button contest going on so we can all have the same button to help find each other, and I think there were rumbelings of a get together at some point.
Keep us posted on what you decide.
As for me, I've had an insight today. The time is dragging so bad for me because I've been keeping this secret now for almost a year. ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR PEOPLE! And, I'm sick of it. But, I don't want to spoil the surprise, I mean for crying out loud I've held on this long.
Today my DH finally asked me what hotel I had decided and if I had picked out which park to do which day yet. Now, normally he would have cottoned on a lot sooner that something was up because I'm usually nonstop with the planning and charting and meal reserving, but thankfully it's summer and he's working like a dog and, bless him, he's so tired he just hasn't really thought about it. So today he has a day off and he starts feeling bad that he doesn't know anything about all the work he assumes I've been doing and he's just been missing, so suddenly he wants to know all about it. And here's me, now suddenly such the little woman, don't you worry your pretty little head about this ol' vacation honey, you've got so much on your plate, I've got it all taken care of.
I'm trying everything I can to not outright lie, I zigged, I zagged, I evaded, I pretended I thought I saw my mom pull up in the driveway when a red car went by the house, but he finally broke me down. We're staying at Wilderness I say, now very interested in washing the dishes in the sink. He's all happy. And I'm a big liar. But, to make myself feel better, he's going to love this trip and the surprise, and it's a tiny, little lie that's very much of the non-hurtful kind. Right?
Eh, I'll just light an extra candle at mass for my lie.
It's all good.
Thanks for being my planning friends. I think I would have exploded by now if it weren't for you all!

Last time we went on Disney a bunch of us stayed at the same hotel the night before. We all had something lime green to identify us. Anything like that going on for this cruise? Which hotel? That night before meeting ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! We met people that we hung out with the entire week and really enjoyed their company.
