*OFFICIAL MARCH 2010 THREAD* - Lets countdown together!

[I'mAlittleBitGoofy]

Wow guys it's almost here!! For those of you there now, hope you're having a fabulous time, and for those on their way have a safe trip!!

 

[nvrenoughdisney]

I'm braving it and doing on-line check-in tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it'll make things easier for us! Hope you have a great trip too!

We did online check-in in June and it worked great. I checked in online today for our trip next week. I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes but it can't hurt! Maybe it saves a few minutes at the front desk -- more time to play!

 

[LuvindisCruiser]

Only 6 more days !
A week from today, will be our Animal Kingdom day !
And, dinner at t-rex cafe at 5:00.
I cannot believe it is SO close now .......

Unless you're going to see Fantasmic, I would avoid DHS on Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday.

Why? Tues and Thurs is EPCOT's EMH so you'd think it would be most crowded there (especially with F&G) and less so at DHS. I had read that the park that had EMH the day BEFORE would be least crowded. We're not going to do Fantasmic unless we decide to chance a walk-in.

We leave in 22 days and I have so much to do. I am excited about going but have no motivation right now I have ADR's and that is about all. I need to buy all the stuff for the girls Easter Baskets and also get shopping done for the trip. I have to start pulling out summer clothes and just can't seem to do it, I am hoping this Weekend to at least get some of the clothes together.

We leave in 22 days also.... at least I don't have to do anything for Easter---we're Jewish. Passover... now.... that's another story! it IS Passover that week.

Sorry about that. It is sad, and altering, and hard. Be careful with the no sugar added stuff, though. Sometimes, it may make your blood sugar react anyway. Depends on the person. Do they have you testing blood sugars yet? On a positive note, assuming you are walking a lot, the walking helps--a lot! And yes, definitely stop and enjoy the topiaries, and flowers!

They do not have me testing yet, but if they do, I want a new smaller meter. Mine is pretty big compared with Today's meters. I had gestational diabetes with my now 7 1/2 year old and they had me tightly controlled. But afterwards, they did an A1c test and my result was very good, so they said I didn't need to keep testing. I know its coming though. They're sending me for an A1c. I should get the order in the mail tomorrow or Saturday. Its funny about the walking thing. I keep hearing about how as little as 1/2 hour walk can make a big difference, but on a typical day, I use an eliptical for 40 min and sometimes do a 3 mile walk and also lift weights. They also say losing 5% of your body weight can help, but they don't say if it helps if you're already a good weight. Somehow, you'd think that all that exercise and weight control would have prevented this. I guess you can't be too rich or too thin. I can't improve the economy on my own (not that I didn't try), but I can lose some weight. Maybe I'll go look on the special needs board and see if there are any postings on the topic of coping with blood sugar at Disney.

Bon Voyage everyone who is leaving this week!! Don't forget to stop and have a Dole Whip for me!

21 Days to go and I'll be in sunny FL. 23 days til I'm checking into AKV.

10 days to go! Looking forward to MK evening EMHs on our arrival day! Can we make it 'til 3 am?

Getting excited and nervous(that I'm going to end up forgetting something). We'll be in the World, March 19 thru the 26th staying at the SSR. Its our first family (41), (41), (18), (8),trip as well as our first Disney trip. We haven't told our dd when we were going, just that we're going and so far its worked out well. We haven't had to hear "is it time yet?" but she's getting to help plan everything as well.
We can't wait!!!
Already started some packing, but not quite sure what type clothes to bring, perhaps a few shorts and pants from what I've read and light jackets. Is that about right?

15 days til our trip to World begins

Please tell me to stop looking at the weather. One says rain the entire time we are there and the other says only 2 days. Temps are totally all over the place. I want to pack but the way the weather forcasts are I have no idea what to pack. 5 days to go and so far nothing done. Its going to be a very long night tuesday night!!

 

[ashleighbass06]

One more day of classes! I leave on Monday! Have to start packing this weekend! 3 more days!

I'm with you! The first thing I do in the morning is check the weather forecast on a couple of different sites. I seriously need to relax but I soooo want it to be warm. Right now it looks like it will be in the 70s at least. I keep telling myself that that is a lot warmer than it is here!

 

[Dixiemom]

Same here....leaving a week from today.....hoping the rain stays away! CSR here we come!

 

[skinsfan2878]

My DW and I decided that we will actually leave for Jacksonville on Friday night to get to Disney World even earlier the next morning. With that said only 7 more days!!!

Same here. accuweather.com doesn't paint a pretty picture. I'm hoping the forecast will improve as we get closer.

 

[UncleOrville]

Only 2 more days!

 

[GaRain]

I will be arriving at the happiest place on earth in just 6 days!!!
Oh yes, I am hoping the weather forecast improves! I am ok with being a little chilly - and occassional showers - but not just a whole day of RAIN!

 

[toniosmom]

OMG.....we leave in the morning!!! I will be at the happiest place on earth before lunch! Yippee!!!

 

[tinkerbelletreasure]

The thing that blows my mind is that the forecast seems to change almost hourly!! With that in mind we are planning on bringing mostly capri's. Each of us will bring at least 1 pair of jeans and we are all bringing jackets. Thankfully since we are staying offsite at a timeshare, if we need to wash our warmer clothes some time during the week, we can.

 

[DisKate]

8 Days! And the weather is starting to look better for our dates! Now lets just hope it stays that way!

 

[PISCESANGEL]

3 weeks!!
