Here's an update on the snow situation in our area:
I'm glad we're heading to sunny Florida!!
Two things I wanted to share. First, a tip for the night before you're heading to drive somewhere with young kids. If you're going to be leaving really early the next day (like we normally do), put them to bed in sweat pants and a t-shirt. It's comfy to sleep in, but it's not actually PJ's. So, the next morning you can just get them up and get them in the van without having to worry about changing clothes. I was going to share this tip with you because that's what we WOULD have done on Saturday morning. But, now we won't be leaving early in the morning!
Second, I asked a CM today about picking up my Hoop Dee Doo tickets. He recommended I pick them up an HOUR before the show (I was planning on 45 minutes). He also said I could pick them up at guest services in Downtown Disney. Just an FYI for anyone who may be in a similar situation. *Edited to add that this actually isn't true. I went to guest services (as you'll read about later in the TR) in DTD, but was told I could only pick up the tickets at a Disney resort or at the Hoop Dee Doo ticket window.
*Carissa thinks if there is anything else she could possibly write about to keep her from having to go pack and clean. She realizes that packing is fun when you're a month away from your trip and really anxious about it and looking for something to pass the time. But, it's not so much fun when you HAVE to do it because you're leaving soon.
Up Next...This Is It!

Thanks for stopping by!
I'm ready to go to bed and dream of a happy place 
I didn't toss and turn too much! I was pretty tuckered.
As soon as the older two head off to school in an hour, the preparations will begin!!
I will definitely check in at some point while I'm in Florida (although you will have to wait for the details
