Remember earlier in the PTR I mentioned that I was kind of bummed to find out that the boys were getting out early on Friday because I *would* have planned to leave that day if I'd known that? (Or did I imagine writing that?) Anyway, Chuck JUST told me that he actually put his leave in to start on Friday!!!!
You all know what happened then. The gears started moving in my brain. If the boys get out at noon on Friday, we should be able to get through Richmond before traffic gets too bad! If we leave Friday and drive a good portion of the way there, then we could arrive in Disney on Saturday in enough time to at least visit a park for a short while!!
It took some convincing to get Chuck to agree (he doesn't like to change plans last minute), but I asked him to let me at least look into it and see if I can find a way to do it. It means we'd have to stay at an inexpensive hotel in Orlando for the night since we can't check into the townhouse until Sunday. Remember, we also have an extra day on our tickets that I couldn't really fit in!
I am so excited right now and my mind is moving a mile a minute. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them! I'll keep you posted on what we decide.
Oh, and if we do leave early, we won't tell the boys until they come home from school on Friday. It'll be a surprise
Ok. So I've booked a night at a hotel in Santee, SC (figured we're familiar with the area, although it does mean driving until 9 p.m. or so, but that's ok) for Friday. AND, I've reserved a room in Orlando for Saturday. We're leaving a day early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now panic will set in soon as I realize this means I have half a day less to get ready!!!!! That's ok though. I work well under pressure
So much to think about. I need to see if Wishes is going on that Saturday night (or we could do Illuminations since the younger two haven't seen it yet). We'll probably still stick with DHS on Sunday, but now we'll have the whole morning/early afternoon there!!
I need to get ready for a Scout den meeting, but I'll be back later.
little over a day to go...
Before I go, do you think there is ANY chance that I could get an ADR somewhere Saturday night?
Well, holy schmoly Mickey Mouse!!!!! I have a busy day and can't get on here, and look what I miss!!! Big, exciting, wonderful changes in plans!
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for you!! I just LOVE that you went for it!! A whole day early! WOOHOO!!
I am confused about the school thing though, i'll email ya...
I hope you don't reply to this tonight, you should be sleeping!!
I hope that doesn't mean we run into any on the way down!
And pixie dust for the drive down!
I decided to see if I could do Sci Fi on Sunday (since we'll have all morning and afternoon there now) and try to get an ADR at Prime Time on Wednesday with my parents. And I did! We may have to sit in 2 cars at Sci Fi (she didn't have a bigger one showing as being available but she said there MIGHT be one when we go), but it doesn't matter to me because the kids will be watching the screen anyway I'm sure. It's not like you can really sit and chat in there during your meal! 
You are not packed,ok I get done work at 2pm. I can be at the border of Maryland in 45 mins.
Have a magical trip.
And I think DHS will be fine on Sunday (it was a good pick according to UG crowd level).
They've been "together" for most of the school year. So, I told him maybe we could bring her back a souvenir. That seemed to make him happy. This morning he was very excited to go, probably because he can't wait to pick something out for her. Ahhh, young love
If he's like this about girlfriends at age *7*, what is he going to be like as a teen??!
That looks like same snow we had down here last night. lol
1 DAY!!!!!!!
Hope you are almost done packing!
). And at the back is a separate packet of math worksheets.
Woo Hoo! An extra day!!!!
Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to read more of YOUR PTR
