Our plane leaves for the World in 3 hours and my DD (19) is still packing. :headache: :rolleyes1 :headache: She's telling me to chill. Wish me luck, if we make it through the next week of togetherness it will be a minor miracle! I'll try to post while we're there but we'll be sharing a laptop, so we'll see how that goes too!
 
I'm so excited for you! I wich I could be there in 6 days is my birthday... and I'm so wishing I could be at WDW! :)
Have a magical trip:banana:
 

We made it with no major drama!

We checked in to Pop yesterday afternoon. The CMs have been nice, but nobody has welcomed me home, and dang it, I want to hear that! The CM who checked us in was nice but didn't know a lot about Pop as she is usually at CBR and they just brought her over here to help out. She didn't know what I was talking about when I asked about the $200 gift card on the 4/3 promotion and had to ask somebody else about it. No big deal---its new. I had to sign in two places that I received the card.

We checked out the food court quickly--people have been asking on the other boards--the mugs are still the same from the last couple years. Nothing new there yet.

We went to Downtown Disney for awhile last night--it seemed pretty busy, but not crazy. We had dinner at Planet Hollywood to use the package voucher and it was okay. Not great, but not as horrible as people make it sound. The YOAMD banners were still up. They were also still playing Christmas music which seems odd to me--I'm guessing the holiday stuff will be done today, but we'll see.

That's about it for the first day. Today its on to EPCOT
 
ooooo keep it up! Enjoying reading :) :surfweb:

If I can't go, I must live vicariously through others, hahaha!!!

I hope you guys have a great time!!!!
 
it takes forever to get the xmas music turned off. I spent 10 days over xmas at WDW last year and by the end I was like TURN OFF THE XMAS MUSIC. Enough is enough.
 
Just a quick update. We did Future World at EPCOTtoday. The crowds were manageable, maybe a little bit bigger than I expected for January, but maybe we are still seeing some holiday people still here. Standby time for soarin at 2 was about 50 minutes-Test track was around 70 minutes. (we fast passed it all). Temps in the low 80s. Heaven!
We saw a podcast shirt at MissionSpace. I am sorry I can't remember her name! Melissa? Sorry! She was really happy to be recognized as a podcast fan!

YOAMD banners are still up here as is Christmas stuff. Im not seeing much of the Celebrations stuff but its still early. Is Disney falling apart this week or what? A CM told us they were having problems with the fast pass machines all over the park, though we only saw some trouble at one machine at Soarin. Standby time for soarin at 2 was about 50 minutes. Then this afternoon, Nemo broke down around 12:30 and they had to walk us off. It was still down about an hour later. Not too bad for us because we were already toward the end, but we did have to listen to the soundtrack from the ride over and OVER again for about 5 minutes. It's a new version of Small World hell! Then later we got stopped for a short time at Spaceship earth. Not a huge wait, but we were beginning to wonder after our adventure with Nemo.

No Noro virus sightings (knock wood). We did see one icky bedspread outside a room at Pop this morning, but thats it. We are diligently washing our hands, just in case! Tonight we're hopping to MK for Spectro and Wishes. I'll try to get pictures up this week.

Let me know if you have any questions or anything you want us to check out while we're here.
