Just got back last night from our trip. A ton of rain on Thursday and Friday kept a lot of people out of the parks, but it wasn't fun sloshing around in the rain.

This is the second year in a row that we've traveled down there on the same weekend in March, and I have to say we won't be doing that again. Too many school groups, cheer and dance teams, etc.

Ugh sorry about the rain! That stinks!

Sorry about the school groups and the cheer and dance teams also!

I hope they are all gone by the time I arrive.

Less then one week now!


In the homestretch now!!!

We just got back late last night and it was our first time going this time of year and I can say we will never do it again. I swear we ran into more miserable people then happy ones. There was a ton of younger adults who could very obviously not hold their liquor nor could they tell when to stop. It was just DH and I, we were there for our 10th wedding anniversary and I am 31 and DH is 35 and we felt ancient walking around the boardwalk one night after dinner at Yachtsmans. One couple almost knocked me over. We are normally there over Christmas with the kids and when we go our lowest crowd level is normally a 9 and we are much happier then because the people are much happier.

Now we did have a great time just being together but we spent a lot of time outside of the parks.

Okay, who's starting to get nervous that they're not going to be ready in time? I have my piles started in the closet for packing. And I pretty much unloaded my whole medicine cabinet to bring along. LOL (This will ensure we all stay healthy--if I don't bring meds, everyone will get sick. ) I feel like I haven't spent enough time on my touring plans. I'm giving up on our car rental rates going down any more. *sigh* And I have LOTS of housecleaning to do. (I like to have the house totally clean before we leave, so it's one less thing to worry about when we come home.) Anyway, only 4 days left and I'm starting to get anxious.

I should probably get off the computer and get some work done, eh?

12 days left!! I hope the weather will be fine ....

Don't let the extended forecast worry you too much. For fun, I've been jotting down the highs/lows projected for our trip every day...pretty much no 2 days have been the same! LOL We had gorgeous weather our last trip during March, I'm determined that this year will be gorgeous too.

I was checking the weather as I started this reply, seems I will have to take my own advice...I see there's a storm brewing this weekend that could affect CO, KS, NE...all places our group is flying out of. So, now I'm also determined that weather will not affect our flights. (Unless it happens to keep us in Orlando longer. LOL)

I just got back 2 days ago and having the clean house was about the only thing that was good about coming home LOL. I miss Disney!!
Have a great time!!

I am with you there! I booked our trip in January and have been obsessing about planning for it everyday since. But here it is 6 days out and I haven't even gotten one suitcase out of the closet! I have a pile in my bedroom but that's it! I have a mountain of laundry to do, papers to get in order, house to clean, list for the housesitter to make, and pack for 5 of us! My DH left on a work trip this morning and will be gone until Friday! Ack! I really need to get it in gear up here! I did put an order in to stop the mail and I contacted my credit card company, so at least I can check those off my list.

I am with both of you on this. We do have the suitcases down and we do have the kids packed, but that is it. I have a pile of my own clothes sitting on the floor in my room waiting to go into a suit case, while my DH has not even looked at his clothes yet (they are still in his closet). My DH's last day of work is on Thursday, so I am guessing that he and I will be going out shopping for anything he needs for the trip while the girl's are in school. As for my house and everything else, well the only thing I have gotten to is laundry and I know I will be doing a ton more before we leave. We have a list of things that we have to do (our do not forget list) so DH and I will probably be going through that as well on Friday. We leave one week from today and I have spent more time on the DIS than taking care of things that needs to be done

Thanks for reminding me!!!

I just keep thinking... I JUST need to make it through this work week,

 

[duckybelle]

We will be there March 20-26...if anyones up for a meet leave me a message in my inbox!!!!! we are bringing the laptop!

 

[Mousedreaming]

Time is flying!

 

[ilovejsparrow]

Haven't been on this thread yet, but I leave in just a few days!! Only a really big exam to get through and then off to WDW

 

[peacefulmama]

Just go the suitcases down today, 10 days to pack for 6 people.


Three out of the four kids are sick too, one with a double ear infection. I know they'll be better by the time we go, I'm just hoping they don't pass it along to the rest of us.

And the crowd calendar was updated to 9's and 10's the entire time we are there I'm REALLY trying not to freak out about that one!!!!

At least the weather is supposed to be nice

 

[SMWfamily]

Bingo! Sick kid! I knew it, its just my luck. The school called me and told me to come get her, sore throat. So I guess it will cycle through us over the next couple weeks... we leave for Disney in 5 days.

Quarantine In all seriousness, keep the sick kid away from healthy kid and one parent...

Man, I hadn't checked that recently--they'd been mostly 7s and a couple of 9s. At least the recommended parks for each day haven't changed. That would have completely blown my plans apart.

I need to pack for 6 people too--but I have to do it secretly as the 4 kids think we're headed north to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Spring Break. They'll have to pack their cold weather clothing while I pack a second suitcase for each of them with the warm weather clothing. Glad we're driving this time.

Well I wished I hadn't checked mine. Last week when I checked they were 5s and 7s, now they are 7s, and a ton of 9s. The day we leave (late) is a 10 at DHS and AK, which we were thinking about doing one of these on our last day before heading home . Now I am thinking maybe Epcot would be a good idea.
