Howdy fellow Tennesseean. We head out Saturday Morning also. We'll be at the CSR.
I've been half tempted to start a Midnight. But my age is starting to catch up with me...so I better stick with the plan of 4am.
We have Saturday penned in for DTD also...and checking out our resort.
Y'all have fun.
Okay, I have spent the last two days on the road finishing up all the final errands. Both kids have had their teeth cleaned and been to the orthodontist, extra dog and cat food has been bought, snacks for on the road have been bought. Still have to pack all the kids clothes and toiletries (sp?) and all the misc. items then figure out the best way to put it all in the vehicle. Oh yeah, and me and dd need to paint our Mickey toes. Waiting till the very last on that one so they will stay on longer.The plan was to try and leave around the 3am hour on Sat. but now dh has decided to take off work tomorrow and that means we will be leaving before midnight knowing him! We have our first night at the Pop so no park tickets for Sat. We thought after the long drive we could just resort hop, visit downtown disney, and let the kids swim. Sun. we check out of Pop and head over to WL where the real fun begins!!
I can't believe we are this close!!!!!
DS5 is packed and waiting for his ride.
DW's sister is driving them down to LA today. They'll spend this afternoon at the beach, spend the night at a friend's house, then fly out to Buffalo tomorrow at 11:05am.
) I asked dh and he said you are correct in the route we will take. You guys aren't that far from us. 
Have a safe and magical vacation!!! 
Being that I don't do the driving (and that is for the best because I don't do maps or have any idea of roads
ou won't be able to see it, but it's there). If I was going to be home, I would wave at you. Alas, I won't be home! I'll be on vacation!!!
Thanks to all for the advice regarding my son and his poor attitude. I basically told him I'd had enough of it and that he was going to go and do his best to have a good time with the rest of his family. We don't want to hear any grumbling or see any moping while we are down there. I think he is mature enough now to understand I'm serious.
My hubby will be doing a lot of the more exciting rides with him as he likes to act 17 again whenever he gets a chance to. The two of them actually have a lot of fun when they allow themselves to.
Also, I have explained to both kids that this trip is not about ONE person (except me, I turn 41 while we are there,) it is a family trip for all of us. We are going to have a good time and spend some good quality family time together. No worries, everyone will have their down times too!!
We had thought of taking a friend with him but then he would behave differently around them and I just don't go for that. We did that when we went to Branson a couple years ago and the two of them went out of their way to alienate the rest of us and act out in a not so "cool" way.
I think Owen will be just fine once we get down there and he lets go of what could be and just enjoys what is right there in front of him.
Thanks again for all the advice!! --Renee

I'm going to use that one on my DDs. They're already complaining about sharing a bed. I told them to suck it up and deal with it -- good grief, they'll be at Disney World! And if they aren't willing to suck it up and deal with it, then they can take turns sleeping on the floor...or both sleep on the floor!
I live 20 minutes outside of Branson. I leave one tourist destination for another!We had thought of taking a friend with him but then he would behave differently around them and I just don't go for that.

I'll keep an eye out for you at CBR!Taking off a little early from work (an hour, LOL) and heading home to start packing, do grocery shopping, and finish up all of the fun pre-vacation stuff.
No more work for me until Monday, July 27...unless I decide I need another day to recover from my vacation...
Goodbye, work! Hello vacation!
Hope to see lots of you at WDW!!
If you take I-75 South, you'll literally pass right by my subdivision, just a few miles off the freeway (y
