[Echo queen]

The ironing is done The boys are all packed with the exception of the shoes. I am 98% packed My dh could not believe it he gave my cudo's. Now my ds's are telling me they need new games for there game boy so that they will not be bored on the plane. So we will see, I see shopping in my future, like in an hour or so

Hey guys!

Yay for being mostly packed, Marla!!! We still have to dig our suitcases out. I don't want to get things done too early, which means I'll probably be stressing out the next few days. Tomorrow is going to be B U S Y with errands. I still have to make our door design too!

Have a great night!

 

[Skippy24]

I too am almost completely packed. I just need DH to decide on the last two shirts he want to bring and his shoes. But the kids and I are completely done and in about 5 hours I will be down to exactly 7 days.

Congrats Sandy on the 1,000th post!!

Hey Marla!

I had a great WI! I was down 1.6. My goal was either to get to 132 or 65lbs lost by Disney. Well....I weighed in at 133.6, putting me at 64.2 pounds! Close enough!

We're DVR's most of tomorrow's Disney shows. Can't wait to watch them.

Oooh we looove Lost!!!!

 

[Skippy24]

Sandy, CONGRATS!!!

Echo, I will also be watching the Travel Channel on Sunday. Or atleast starting at 2pm.

It's going to really add to the excitment knowing that in just one week a mear 7 days that I will actually be there!!!

 

[Echo queen]

That's great Sandy, I'm so happy for you

Lost is the best show on TV if you ask me.

 

[sandybobandy]

Ugh. I just had a mini breakdown.

Took my car in for its regular maintenance, figuring it'd be a good time to get it done before we drive to Florida. They call me about two hours later letting me know my rear right tire is worn down to the cords. The axle is bent causing the tire not to sit straight. THey let me know they can get a used axle for about $600 or a new one for $1150. There's no guarantee that they would find one by Thursday (which is when we leave!!!!)

After some tears and reassurance by the car guys, we determine because the axle is not in any danger, just the tire that continues to somewhat slant, I will just get a new tire place on the back right. It's a temporary fix that will get us to and from Disney in a safe manner. We'll have to get the axle fixed eventually, but it's not critical.

I hate it when stuff like this comes out of nowhere. I absolutely broke down into tears when we left the car shop. Thank goodness Joe was there to comfort me and calm me down. I feel like there's just too much on my plate to have to deal with this kind of thing.

Thanks for letting me vent-I just keep thinking about being at Disney and meeting you guys!

Have a good night!

 

[Mickey_Lynne]

Sandy, I'm glad to hear that they were able to do a quick fix on your car. I hear ya about being able to vent...especially with anything that goes wrong this close to the trip.

I also plan on watching the Disney half hour shows tomorrow at 2:00. I would like to start packing tomorrow so I can see how much more luggage I may need to buy.

Jasmine had her karate tournament today and got 1st place in kata!

I'm also excited about meeting everyone in Disney! I can't believe 4 days and a few hours and we'll be there

 

[Skippy24]

Sandy, I am so sorry for your stress today!!! I totally understand and i'm glad that it worked out for you.

I have a small vent myself. My DH and his sister have been making fun of me for being almost finished packing a week ahead of time. Well my DH wouldn't stop so I unpacked his stuff and told him that he can do it himself when he's ready.

I have a very busy week ahead and I wanted to make sure that everything with the packing was done except the last min items. I forgot alot of items on the last trip so we had to buy alot and I didn't want to have to do that again. But atleast the kids and I are done and we will have everything.

 

[Echo queen]

Sandy I hate to hear about your bad news and stress after having such great news earlier.

Congrats to Jasmine.

Skippy some people just are not as organized and prepared as we are, don't let them rain on your parade

I look so forward to meeting you all too.

We are going to Disney.....

 

[Mickey_Lynne]

Yes, kudos to you guys for being so well organized and packed I definately want to start packing tomorrow to make sure we have enough luggage and all our last minute items. We are leaving sometime late Wednesday night to head to the airport which is about 3-4 hours from where we live and we want to be there 3 hours early. We have a 6:00 am flight I have to work Wednesday till 3:00 so I don't want to worry about packing or anything else last minute. Basically I want to make sure I have copies of all my important papers and information I need. That's what I'm afraid of leaving behind

 

[Mickey_Lynne]

About 3 days and 13 hours before we leave

Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Echo queen]

Ok, the bathrooms are scubbed and the fridge cleaned out........Is is time to go yet Oh yeah the boys have hair cuts today.

 

[sandybobandy]

Good morning!

Nope, sorry Echo, not time to go quite yet. But we're getting there!!!

Lynne-Congrats to Jasmine! That's so exciting!

Skippy-Sorry they were giving you grief. That kind of thing would tick me off too. I love that you unpacked your DH's stuff-that is SO something I would do!!!

Here's my current countdown:

3 days! 15 hours! 22 minutes! 29 seconds!

Have a wonderful day!

 

[Mickey_Lynne]

Yeah I think I miscalculated my countdown earlier....now it is 3 days 12 1/2 hours approximately.

This is getting exciting. I want to watch the Disney shows today but we might be visiting my sister-in-law this afternoon. Maybe she'll put them on for me

 

[Skippy24]

Here's my countdown also!!!

5*days, 18*hours, 46* minutes and 44

or

138 hours

or

8326 minutes

or

499604 * seconds

OK i'll stop now!!

I'm not excited at all to be going.

Thanks Sandy! The funny part is this morning he told me that he didn't tell me to un-pack his stuff.

 

[Mickey_Lynne]

3 days and 2 hours before we leave for the airport

Well I feel somewhat accomplished today. I did gather some of my clothes and supplies and got them together. They are not officially in luggage yet but they are all together. I'll have to do laundry again tomorrow and then again on Tuesday night! I have Jasmine's things mostly gathered too and my husband did his. Do you think my 2 teenage daughters got their stuff together yet though??? Of course not!

Tomorrow I plan on packing most of it in the luggage and picking up any extra luggage, luggage tags and TSA locks that I may need. I did print off extra copies of all my itinerary and stuff today. I may want to print up a list of must-do rides at every park and whether they are FP or not and which parks have extra magic hours during our stay. Do you know if they give out any kind handout when we check in of extra magic hours?
