Hello Everyone:

Just wanted to say that I am leaving tomorrow at 4:30am for Disney World!! I wanted to just take a quick second to thank all of you on this thread!! You've all be so great in helping plan my vacation!

I'm not sure what I would have done if I didn't have you all!!! Anyway.. I hope all of your trips are FANTASTIC AND MAGICAL in their own special way! And I really look forward to reading all about them when I return.. And who knows... maybe I"ll do my first ever trip report..

XOXOXOXOXOXO
Thanks Again!!

Lindsay

Wishing you a fantastic and magial trip as well! Can't wait to read your post-trip report!

It seems like there was somewhere else to post this, but of course now I can't find it (it is 4:30 in the morning though, so that's my excuse!)

I just wanted to say we canceled our 12:40pm reservation for 10 at 50's Primetime on Thursday, July 23 if someone wants to call tomorrow and try to grab it! I'm sad we aren't going to be able to go, but I decided rather than have to go back there on a second day just for the meal, I'd rather have a chance to revisit MK or Epcot (which we only have a half day planned for Epcot! I know we'll need another half day, if not a full one!)

Well, the cat's out of the bag. DH decided that we should tell the kids so that they would have something to look forward to, especially since everyone we talk to ask them what their big plans are this summer. DD12 said she already knew something was up since I was always looking at WDW stuff. DD9 was so excited when she found out that we would be there for her birthday that she squeezed the air out of me! Now they are helping me pack by bringing me everything that they own! DD12 has already begun charging her digital camera and we still have 6 days until we leave!

Now I wonder how I am going to make it another 6 days? It's hard enough with my own excitement, but throw in three ready-to-go-now kiddos, we all might end up with major anxiety!!

Anxiety I am familiar with! We tried keeping it a secret for a while, booked in Feb. and didn't tell the girls until Easter. Anna Kathryn (9) knew I was always looking at the stuff, even told one of my good friends that is the librarianat our school that I stayed on Disney sites all the time. She knew we were waiting until Easter, so she told her it takes a year or more to plan a trip! 2 months was long enough for me! I have to say though, since it is their first trip, I'm glad we did tell them. They've been able to watch the YouTube videos and prepare a little, and be excited with us!

Well we will soon be on our way. I have enjoyed this thread and hope to share more once we return. Tom thanks for getting up on the list. See everyon on the return trip. Lois

Flipflopmom see ya soon!!

I know you meant to say "See Ya REAL soon", right! Have a safe flight down! Have a safe trip down!

Lindsay girl - I know you've left already, but I might run into you at Tusker House Sunday! You have a safe trip down, also!

Good grief, as if I'm not emotional enough with this magical trip in 3 days, just saw some excerpts from MJ's memorial. Bawling like a baby over his daughter. I hate to see sad kids!

I'm done nana nana nana

I still have a 2 hour leadership class tomorrow but that's a cake walk

That's just plain cruel....

I am so not prepared. I'm definately a procrastonater (sp)! At this point if I only have 3 outfits to wear I'll just recycle them. I don't want to do anything but leave for DISNEY!

I'm with ya on the fighting in the car thing. My two oldest will torment each other till no end. Yesterday we went to have the van washed and they were playing hide and seek in the car while it was being washed. That was a 5 minute trip. Lord, give me the serenity to not tie my child to the top of the van while driving to Florida!

Well, Mom had a headche this evening, she's really been overdoing it trying to get a lot of stuff done before Dad's surgery. They have 1 or 2 appts a day while we are gone between the two of them. So, we still had Miss Sophie home with us this evening. Not too disappointed, though. Mom needs her rest.

Finally got DH to get his shorts out, and toldl me which ones he wants to take, and he got all the camera stuff together, also.

I'd love to take a tub instead of a box, with all the extras, but I don't think it will all fit in the trunk of our little gas saving Kia as it is! Nothing like being crammed like sardines for 12 hours with two monsters disguised as princesses! JK, they're adorable sweet girls, but they do the typical sibling fighting in the car. My brothers are so much older than me, I don't remember any road trips with them. DH swears this is normal, and that he has turned into his father. "Do you want me to stop the car?" "No, we're not stopping for you to go to the bathroom." My personal favorite - "If we stop for something to drink, you'll just have to go pee again. Swallow your spit!"


Buffetgirl, have a great time! Be safe!

Lois, since you are leaving soon, if we don't talk before, see you Saturday. Have a safe flight!

Everyone else - chat with you tomorrow! I have 3 days to get it done, and DH wants to pack the car Thursday night, so I have 2 days to finish all that.

Your Dad continues to be in my prayers. I hope all goes well.

I remember car trips like that when I was growing up...on this trip we'll have four of us in our Honda Civic (we sold our minivan last year and it's trips like this that make me really miss it!). Fortunately, if my girls start arguing during the trip, we can pull over and put one (or both) of them in my parents' vehicle!

I never would have been able to keep the secret -- I've been having a hard enough time keeping some of the surprises secret that I've planned (the Minnie Mouse stuffed animals, the character pajamas, the bracelets, the welcome baskets, and our Coral Reef dinner on our last night in the parks).

It's fun that your girls are so excited!
