I'm so excited for all the folks who are in the single digits. We're still 19 days away here, but that's OK. My ADRs are finally finalized and I just need to pack and figure out my morning touring plans for each part. Not bad.
 
These are all our Nov thru Dec roll-call arrivals - some of our regulars are on there :eek: haha as I'm typing this in my head I can hear *adopts deep manly voice* 5 .... 4 .... 3 .... 2 .... 1 .... BLAST OFF!!!

*Eminen sings* Will the first December roll-caller please stand up ....
 
We had a good thanksgiving, today instead of Black Friday shopping we visited with family and then hubby taught me how to shoot his new glock. Y'all are safe from zombies if I'm around, 10 yards at least. Lol.

I love to hear things like this......which is, of course, what the holidays are all about!

We are less than a month from our trip!! I am freaking out..don't feel prepared at all. Have a list of must do rides and attractions. Haven't picked out which parks for what days. The only day I have planned so far is Christmas day. We are heading to the beach for that day. Taking it easy..lol. Feel like I should have soo much more planned. We aren't doing any ADRs..so I'm good there. Just feeling really really nervous. :eek:

Sometimes it's fun to fly by the seat of your pants! Since you don't have any ADRs, there really isn't any need to be anywhere at any certain time.

I tred to but couldn't do it. I make cookies very year the day after Thanksgiving for our village parade (which is usually about 2.5 hours long and it's not even a big village). the reason it's long is b/c they have several fire depts from other towns in it that really shouldn't be. It's like the major holiday parade for the township and all three of us are in the parade :headache:

I have NO idea when I'll be doing my christmas cookie baking! I baked over 30 doz cookies last year!

No shopping for me today. Hung out with my brother this morning and then DH and I saw Skyfall with BIL and family. Then we went to the grocery store and are now watching Buckeye basketball. An exciting Friday night.
Tomorrow my brother will march in his last football game. He is ready to be done and move on to the next part of life. I think our mom and I will be more sad than him. :sad: :rotfl:

Val, I must have missed this tidbit regarding your bro. Is he in the high school marching band or college? My sweet sil (who passed away 1.5 years ago) was a music teacher/high school band leader in Youngstown. I love half-time shows!
 
:eek:

Countdown time!!!! What we've all been working towards .... IS. FINALLY. IN. REACH *screams*

Ok, panic time *runs round in circles* who leaves first - and I mean right down to the minute, the very first roll-caller???? *breathes*

:lmao: Our flight time is at 9:10 a.m. Eastern time on 11/29. We arrive in FL at 12:15.

He is in the Ohio State MB. He is a music ed major and wants to teach at a middle school and help with the high school marching season.

Ok *frantically swishes around in the drawer full of crayons, stickers & silly bands desperate for a real grown up writing implement!!*

I'm making a list to work out who is going first ... so far cybrkitn is in first place *the crowds roars* .... not sure what the prize is yet :scratchin

Thanks for all the well wishes. FIL is recovering. It's just taking him longer than he had hoped. On the plus side he lost more weight as a result and he told me his diabetes has never been this good since he was diagnosed. He was able to indulge in things like Thanksgiving pie.

You are looking at things in the right way. :grouphug:

I was thinking the same thing. Guess they run Internet searches for complaints. Never saw a company post in a message board before.

That's what I thought too.

Yep, we should probably all start taking Airborne as preventive measures if we're not sick already! I meant to get a flu shot and somehow missed it this year ...

That's something of a silver lining at least ... when is the drop-dead date on needing the decision?

Don't laugh, but today I went to the pharmacy at my hospital today and bought Ibuprofen, Pseudoephedrine, hubby's stomach stuff, my Allegra, and Airborne! Yep, I'm going to be proactive! It's already packed! Along that same note......my big suitcase (the largest of the new set I bought in May) is already packed......and I sort of freaked out for a moment thinking that if it's full, it'll be over the 50 pounds allotted by SW. Weighed it today. It weights 51 pounds. :rotfl2: So I went through and took out all things christmas decoration related and threw that in my carry on. Now we're down to 47 pounds. Whew! Crisis averted!

I told DH tonight that 3 weeks from tonight, or 2 weeks from tonight, I will be driving him bonkers with my last minute excitement and packing. :goodvibes

I guess I never realized that I've kept a lot of my planning quiet from dh. I mean I drive myself crazy and didn't want to make him bonkers as well......so he texts me today with a website I've already committed to memory (Wedgie, it's Andre's website, portorleans dot org). He thought I would be interested in checking out that site. :lmao: Then he told me how much our taxi would be from the airport to Royal Pacific Resort...... :thumbsup2 I didn't have the heart to tell him I've pretty much got everything covered!::yes::

Im pretty sure the prize is a trip to Disney World. :goodvibes

I arrive on 11/30 at 9:50 :)
 
*gasps* it could be YOU then. Our very first one to fly the nest :eek: <<<< imagine that smilie really, really big HA!

I'll try and post once we get back to the room each night, but it all depends on how I'm feeling and if DH's laptop or iPad are available (meaning that DH and DS are not using them).
 
I suspect that once everyone is past the holiday weekend, we will pick up the pace. Especially since some people leave next week! :woohoo: :cool1:

I just threw-up a little in my mouth. :crazy2: I'm starting a minor freak-out!

I'm so excited for all the folks who are in the single digits. We're still 19 days away here, but that's OK. My ADRs are finally finalized and I just need to pack and figure out my morning touring plans for each part. Not bad.

15 days out here.......and 10 working days. :hyper:
 
Our flight leaves here at 6:23 am on the 29th, (MST which is 8:23 am Eastern Time), but we don't land until 4:51 (Florida time). Do I win? :rotfl:

Oh, and gee thanks Purolator for replying to my rant. How kind and weird all at the same time. :confused3 I really wasn't even complaining about Purolator though, just Toys R Us.

I feel so unprepared! We leave our house next Wednesday after the kids get home from school since we're staying in a hotel by the airport the night before our flight. I haven't even pulled out the suitcases yet! :scared: We have Christmas shopping allll day tomorrow, then putting up tree on Sunday, cleaning the house from top to bottom, then Monday is my volunteer day at the school, then Tuesday is P/T interviews that evening, then Wednesday I have to finish packing and tidying and laundry and meeting with housesitters and going over chores.... :crazy2:

I know it'll all get done one way or another, but I think my schedule is so packed the next few days that I can't even focus yet on being excited for the trip. I'll get excited after a nice long nap (kid permitting!) on the plane!
 
DH just reminded me to post this. Can't believe I forgot!

Back in either the 2nd or 3rd incarnation of this thread I mentioned that we were trying to get together with friends of ours that were originally going 12/5-15. Well those plans fell through as they had to postpone to April. However, there is a bright side for DH at least. A friend and co-worker of his is going to be in Epcot on the 30th which happens to be the day we are going to be there. DH asked if I wouldn't mind if they had a drink together. Of course, I'm fine with it.

How often is it that someone you know happens to be going to the same place you are on the same day? All without planning together.
 
Just checking in everyone. :wave2: Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We really didn't shop today, although I did go to Target and a get a sweater that was on sale. The rest of my purchases were not on sale at all. Sometimes you just need stuff from Target :lmao:

I am still sick. Tomorrow will be a week of this horrible cough. I have gone through two bottles of cough sryup. Bought Mucinex today, so hoping that helps. It better, that stuff was $11 for 12 pills. 8 days to go so hoping it is long gone by Monday....

I need to start making a packing/stuff to buy list. I still have no idea what I will be wearing. I am going to keep checking the weather before I make my final decisions. I usually buy a lot of new shirts and pants for a trip, but this time it is been hard to find stuff I want to wear. I think I am going to hit a smaller mall and see what I can find tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great night!

Happened to me on the Sunday before Halloween - ran into a friend from NJ who now lives in VT :D
