Ugh....I miss living in a state in which fireworks are illegal. My neighborhood sounds like the Vietnam war right now and my poor dog is cowering under the coffee table Poor baby

In our county in MD, fireworks are illegal for people to shoot off themselves and people still do it. We had a really fun time at our fireworks this year and it actually only took us 25 minutes to get out of the lot, walk to our cars, and get home. It's a record. As we were watching the firework though, I kept thinking "These are good, but Disney is the best. I can't wait to watch them there!!! Two more week and we will be in North Carolina by now!! (at least). I can't wait!

You are very welcome!!!

We were thinking the same thing.... We saw our fireworks over an intersection with two red lights. There was NO CASTLE and NO Wishes music. We will be at MK a week from tomorrow night. I am looking forward to seeing the new fireworks but will miss WISHES.

Is your avatar a gymnast or dancer?

Dancer I danced my whole life and all through college. I put it on there when I first started on the DIS since that was a big part of my life. Now I'm 32 and past that stage but I can't figure out how to make one of our pics small enough to replace it

Yes, Rockville is in Montgomery County not far from where we live. We live in Germantown.

We have a dancer too.... our dd is 19 and started dancing before the age of 4. She still dances and is in college.

Good Morning! Well, the weather forecast is perfect this week to help anyone leaving in the next week to prepare for possible high FL temps. I am hoping that the FL temps feel cool compared to our forecast this week!

Everyone needs to recheck hours again. DISNEY PARKS SCHEDULE

They re-added Magic Kingdom night EMH (12 to 3am) to Friday, July 16.

WOW - no internet access yesterday so I couldn't check in - I miss one day and soooo much is going on in this thread! HAHA! That's awesome, you guys are great!!!

I can't believe how much rain Florida is getting, I really hope it clears up and doesn't delay anybody's flights in!

The firecrackers around here are obnoxious too. At 11:00 at night, it's ridiculous and not just on the 4th, it's been going on for several nights prior. My poor Jolie has NOT been a happy pup.

Starting my packing today, wooohooo!!!!

I love that!! It makes me every time!!

Dancing in college was the BEST! Just to be surrounded by professors who were so talented and could really teach you so much. I really miss it but, as a dancer, once you're like 25, you're OLD!

I was thinking that too, about the weather. I feel so bad for everyone there this week. I know, rain in Disney is better than being at home, but still. I just want everyone to have the perfect trip, and I'm sure it's been hard.

Poor Jolie. I know what you mean! My Riley buried herself in a giant pile of blankets and pillows last night with only her head sticking out! It usually doesn't bother her too much, but it was like the Sharks and the Jets last night with 2 different families in our neighborhood having like a fireworks battle of who's cooler and has more money I went to bed (tried to) at 12:30 and they were still going!! We have a noise ordinance, but I guess they didn't care

 

[anjalee6]

We don't leave for 13 days but I am starting to pack today. My husband thinks I am nuts if I pack to early so I have been putting it off, but I just can't wait anymore. I have to start. I can at least get some laundry done today to prepare.

We have 13 days too and I thought yesterday about starting my bag of random stuff. You know, band aids, medicine, wrinkle release spray (love this stuff!,) sunscreen, bug spray, etc... Well, I have a checklist, and figured I'd just check it off as I put it in, but I know myself too well and I know that in a week and a half when it's crunch time I will unpack that bag and re-do it just to make sure I was accurate the first time
