We leave 1 week from tomorrow! Which means this weekend will be full on panic mode. I will be finalizing our plans/doing notecards (very generic outline per day) so I am sure I'll be asking tons of questions - nothing like waiting until the last minute huh.

I've been so busy lately (family in town and my master degree classes) that I have no been keeping up on how many days to the trip. So, I looked this morning and....

22 DAYS!!!!!!!

Holy... I still have so much to do!

 

[eyeslikeanocean]

We match up on a couple of days!

We'll be at AK on the 16th and EP on the 19th. Are you going to have LGMHs?

Sorry, what is LGMH ?

One week from tomorrow?! I'd be so panicked! I still have so much to do and I really need to get busy doing it!

I wish we were so busy that I could forget to keep track. Well, we are pretty busy, but not enough to distract me.

It stands for lime green Mickey head. You can get paint sample things at Home Depot that are squares with the paint sample shaped like a Mickey head. I write my DIS name on it, laminate it, punch a hole in it and hang it from my park bag.

I'm still kinda new I guess, but I have not heard of that yet. Hmm, If i can find some time to go to home depot, i will do that! but no promises. I have a VERY busy few weeks. DD1 is in her first beauty pageant tonight. It's just a small, school pageant. It's sundays best, so no glitz or anything, but ya'll wish us a little pixie dust tonight. I would LOVE for her to get a little crown or trophy.

Good luck to your daughter tonight! How exciting!

I am ready to go right now. My MIL just got out of the hosptial after 10 days and it was a rough one. She had an anaphylatic reaction to dye and coded during the procedure. Ended up in ICU before they took her BACK to the cath lab and did ANOTHER cath with dye. Thank goodness they were able to avoid another reaction and 1 stent later she is on her way to recovery. It has been very stressful for our family and none of us have had much sleep. I told my DH that I need to go to WDW to relax! I just need the next 3 weeks to go quickly without any drama.

I think I may do this, now watch since I'm in Ontario they won't have them here or something lol. But at least I can say I tried

 

[tlenzendorf]

I can mail some out when I pick mine up if it's not too close to when other people leave? I will probably grab them next week.

I met my TA for drinks yesterday and she handed over the good stuff - Mickey Mail!!!!!



DH just did not understand why that required celebratory drinks! I knew you all would understand, though.

3 weeks from Sat. and I'll be winging my way to Orlando and I just can't stand the wait!

I apologize for posting twice, but this deserved both Oct. threads!

I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through, but I'm glad to hear you MIL is doing ok. You certainly do need this trip!!! Here's to a drama free next 3 weeks!

I totally get that! I wish I knew my TA well enough for celebratory drinks as that sounds like a fabulous idea! I'll have to celebrate with the family when I get mine. Should be some time next week!

31 days!!! One month tomorrow!!!!! 4 weeks Sunday!!

[tlenzendorf]

Now that October is so close do you think they will change the hours again? I'm debating whether I want to print out and laminate my itinerary cards again or wait

 

[tlenzendorf]

They've changed Saturday October 22 to a 9 on Touring Plans!

I just saw the update. 10/22 is my arrival day.. We get to MCO at 10:50 am and I plan to go check in at OKW resort and from there to Epcot for our lunch ADR at Via Napoli at 3:30pm. Then park hop to MK to walk around and hopefully see the parade. Leave before Wishes and go buy groceries. I'll stay if I buy groceries before arriving at resort.

I have decided NOT to print out any of my plans until closer to our departure date just in case I need to make anymore adjustments.
