One day trip and Disney Institute Leadership Conference..PTR

[MommyWithDreams]

I think any purchase can be sent back to the hotel....just be aware that you won't be able to pick it up until the next morning. So if you buy it on Tuesday....you can't pick it up from the bell desk until Weds morning.

I've been trying not to look at accuweather yet......afraid of wet stuff & don't want to start worrying about it quite yet.....lol

Ah THANK YOU!!! I didn't know about the timeframe. I should be ok with that since we'll be in the conference at PPH all day on Wednesday. I'm sure at some break I could run to the desk to pick it up. Just need to be careful not to buy too much since I'll already be packed up by that point and having them hold my luggage.

Less than two weeks Laurie!!!

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Yeah!!!! I'm going today.

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Yeah!!!! I'm going today.

Have a wonderful time! Save some magic for Laurie and I

I did. I loved meeting my mom's old friend, her SIL and their girls.

So I'm starting to really feel the excitement now. I'm starting to let go of the idea that I'm going without my son...and telling myself it's just two days and one night and I'll be able to taste test the Holidays and plan one for us in the future.

I'm keeping an eye on the weather. Although it's still a little over a week out, I'm not trusting it too much, especially since I saw some rain on the forecast. Don't tease me Mother Nature...some days I see 80 then I see 60's and rain. I want 80s!!!! lol

Please no rain, please no rain~~since we're both limited on time.....rain could possibly halt some of the holiday stuff & I don't want to miss a thing!!!!

Get to see you in 10 days!!!!!

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Yeah!!! I'm so happy for you guys. Too bad I have school.

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Soooo as promised, (only a day late) here's my countdown in pictures....

NINE days to go.

One of my favorite pictures....somewhat of a tradition.
I love me some Goofy.

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Ah I can't resist....my PTR needs more pictures anyway, here's more from past trips.

Like I said, a tradition

weeeeeee

Walking off a broke down thunder mountain

Ayden and Laurie on the teacups.

Our MONEY shot...not too often to get a picture with ALL of them

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Just a few more

An AWFUL picture of me...but a very special picture indeed. This was our last night at Disneyland and the fireworks had just ended, a already tearyeyed mommy....Ayden put his hands on my cheeks and thanked me for taking him to Disneyland. This was his first trip.

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

The pictures look cute Janelle!!

So it's time to decide on at least a lunch place and then play it by ear for dinner. The thought of stopping to eat makes me batty due to our short time. I'm starting to wonder if our flight will be delayed due to fog...it's been really foggy here in Sac the past few days. I'm hoping for the best. I'm going to call PPH tomorrow and request an early check in, no guarantees I know but it sure would be nice.

So lunch options...

Cafe Orleans
Carnation Cafe
Blue Bayou
Wine Country Trattoria

Decisions decisions.....

I think a quicky lunch & then a sit down dinner in DTD after the park closing would be the way to go.......lol

You have a point to that...Sitting down for a long dining experience is not what I want to do for my short time. So I crossed off Blue Bayou, (not a big fan of the food anyway) and also WCT, I don't want to be in CA much except to ride LM and Soarin. I'm thinking maybe Cafe Orleans...I love that Blackened Caesar salad and am dying to try the Pomme goodness and maybe have some biegnets. My food is covered so that's not the issue, it's time....darn time.

 

[MommyWithDreams]

One week from this very moment my plane will be descending....closer and closer to my happy place! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Ayden is so determined that I'm NOT going without him...I sure hope it's not an emotional difficult goodbye.

Yummy!

I need to talk to my co-worker and see what she thinks...I'm going to forward some menus to her and we'll talk about it this week. I'm still convinced I want to do Ralph's but I don't know yet.

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Yeah!! I'm so excited for you Janelle!!!

 

[MommyWithDreams]

This time next week, I'll be at the airport headed home.
