Well, I am FINALLY down to hours!!!!
We leave at 7:00 am in the morning to head to the happiest place on earth!!! It is a direct flight so it will be a mere 2 1/2 hours and I will be off and boarding an ME bus on my way to see the mouse!!
It has been a whirlwind day with a lot of running around to get ready. I started the day out with my picking up some last minute things for the girls and then headed for my annual mani/pedi. Since I teach little ones, I don't usually get them during the school year because they never last. But, for Disney, no holes barred. While I was there, the dentist called and they had two cancellations and wanted to know if DD and I wanted to come in. Since we missed our last appointment a few months back, I figured we should. I guess having nice new pearly whites for all my pics isn't a bad idea.
Of course, the skies decided, as I was driving all around the city, that I should have some practice in dealing with those famous summer downpours you get at WDW and boy, did it come down hard. Good thing I made it to the car just in time to save my beautiful new toes from being destroyed.
This year, it will be me, DD 18, DD15, DD15's friend, my Aunt, two cousins, and their daughters, 12 and 6. For my one cousin, she has not been since she was 10 (in her 30's now) and it is the first visit for her 6 yr old!!! I am so excited for her. Since our kids are older now, it will be so wonderful to see it again through the eyes of a child.
Of course, missing from the mix is my wonderful DH. Last summer, it was just WAY too hot for him and he said no more. We have been going since 1994 and he has had enough. Of course, I told him that I would really miss him and I will. I asked him if he was a bit sad, now that the trip is here, that he wasn't going. His answer "With all those women...I think I'm good!"
I have been really wanting a new camera but DH said I didn't need one--I replace them every other year
. But, as you know, my powers of persuasion where he is concerned work very well--remember, I am almost the proud owner of 150 BWV points he said we didn't need!!--and he surprised me today with a new one! I was so excited--he really is the best!!!
This will be our first stay in a 2 bedroom as well as a BW view room. I am so excited for that and I think it will make it extra special for my guests.
Of course, ya'll know that there is no way I can go to WDW and not stay at BLT, so we will be heading there for the 2nd part of the stay.
Okay, my friends, I'm off to get my Disney outfit ready to go and then off to bed to try to get some sleep. So, let's see:
Minnie shirt--check!,
Animal Kingdom Safari Hat with DVC pin--check!,
Mickey Mouse necklace and watch--check!
My DVC member bag--check!
Yep, I have a feeling that everyone in the Syracuse airport will have an idea where I am headed!!!
