Officially one week away!!!! Nothing productive will happen at work lol.

Feeling better....but called out of work today! Lol I just have too much to do and working till 7pm just wasn't happening! Not when we have to be up at 2! 24 hours from now we will be on our way to MCO! This 6am flight is going to be difficult but hoping it'll be worth it to get there early

We have a 6am flight too in 9 days! I'm hoping the same thing! Landing at 9:20 and and I hope to be walking into the Magic Kingdom at noon... hopefully that will make it all worth it!!

Sometimes you just need to call out of work! Lol
I have a mammogram on Tuesday, and normally my boss will let me just leave early, but thinking I may just take the day to do stuff too.

About the getting there early- we find that if we're up that early it's not really a productive day. I don't usually waste park tickets on the arrival day. We usually play at the pool and go to DTD or the BW. Getting up at 2 and doing a park just wouldn't work for my family. Just a thought every family is different. Have fun!

 

[RNMom1969]

Our plans for tomorrow are for DTD and pool time. Taking it easy because I know I can only push my girls so far. I can't wait!! I feel a little guilty calling out today...everyone knows where I'm going tomorrow! I have sick time saved so guessing should just get over it and get this day moving! Seems like I waited so long for April.....hard to believe its finally here!

We have a 6:50 a.m. flight so will be up early too. Landing at MCO at 10:00 a.m. no parks that day, just chef mickeys for dinner and to bed early.

Didn't mean to put my 2 cents in- thought you were thinking about going to a park that day.

have a magical trip

 

[anniebabymu]

If we didn't go to MK the moment we got there, I'd have to listen to our 5 year old whine all day! All of us, DH included, don't want to miss a minute of available park time! No pool days for us, just during youngest DD's nap time. We can swim at home... we're there for the mouse! Maybe when they're a little older we'll plan a WP day... we'll see!

On our first trip (2008) we didn't go to a park on our arrival day, and we kind of regretted it. Made for a restless evening. Since then I always plan a couple of hours of park time with dinner on our arrival day. We are so excited that first day that it doesn't matter how little sleep we've gotten, the adrenaline keeps us going, lol!

Friday cannot come soon enough. Hopefully being at the happiest place on earth will do something for DH's mood. He's been sick and miserable for weeks and while sick he decided to try to quit smoking (for the 500th time) and the cold is starting to go away but now the nicotine withdarawal has kicked in x100. He is absolutely unbearable when he quits....its so bad i am usually praying he starts smoking again by the 2nd-3rd week. Just a miserable, mean, pr!ck. Cant even have a conversation with him because it ends up in a fight. I dont think we've said more than a sentence at a time to each other for over a week now. I dont care how miserable he feels, he better plaster a smile on his face come friday, or start smoking again; one or the other.

 

[hineline07]

We are actually on hour 5 of our 9 hour trip! Can't believe we will be there soon! It's our first trip and I'm so very excited!

 

[momtwoboys]

haha buy that man a carton of cigs! Its an awful addiction, but maybe quit after the trip? Sounds awful, but hey

I am ready to go NOW! I don't even know what to eat for dinner cause everything sounds lame compared to the yummy Disney food that is coming up!

 

[TJDisneymama]

Seriously, i know its awful, but i was supportive for the first 100 attempts; now i've just had enough. Chances are slim to none he will ever quit so why keep putting us all through this hell several times a year? He obviously does not have it in him to quit. Come on, he's been trying for 15 years!!!!!

Going cold turkey can be difficult a d it's not the nicotine that is so bad for you. I quit in October using Ecigs. Most convenience stores sell disposables you could try him on. There is always the patch or gum as well.

 

[RNMom1969]

TJ I tried to quit too...for about 15 years.... And finally did it with the gum! Slip him some! Lol it will help his nerves! It really worked wonders and I'm proud to say 6 1/2 years smoke free for me! My first disney trip was paid for with cigarette money!!

 

[TJDisneymama]

Yeah, he doesnt even attempt to do if without the patch or gum.....also the prescriptions - wellbutrin and the other one. Tried everything!!!!

7 days to go..Just took a peak at the weather for the week of 4/14-4/20. I usually never look at weather this far out. Well rain 4 of 5 days! Hoping for lots of pixie dust!

Yep, he's been usingv the gum for years. We probably have spent thousands on that gum, lol

DH has tried for years...told him don't bother now, he will be miserable in Disney. My friend in Orlando is pricing cartons there vs in Mass, so she might bring him one if it is cheaper.

 

[donnac1218]

Oh...and same amount of time trying...15 years, since we got married
