I want to be packing right now so bad. But what am I doing? Survey statistics the hard way in excel for school program.

And then, even when I get done, I have to study for a final in the morning. Thursday however I have all day off work/exams to finish packing/ launder/etc. Oh yeah, and study for that pesky exam Friday afternoon from 3:30-6.

So I'm just hopping right into the conversation - I know I haven't been around much. I have a crazy job and am so burned out right now it's not even funny, so the last thing I want to do at night is get online and read stuff. This vacation is MUCH NEEDED and I am SO EXCITED. I'm jealous of everyone who is starting their vacation now...I have a whole work week ahead of me. Sigh. That's ok, I have plans to work on my door magnets at work this week..hehehe. Just have to keep an ear open for the boss walking down the hall...

I can just about copy your entire post word for word My burned out is from a combination of school and working 40 hours a week.

However, my magnets get printed at work since I work in a print shop, hee hee!

Hi Everyone - Looking forward to the cruise next week. I'm leaving on Wednesday morniing for Orlando. Can't wait to get there.

It's kind of funny but there's so much to do before you leave for a Disney World trip it can simply exhaust you before you leave. Especially this trip and the fact it is so close to X-Mas. I spent a lot of time putting up lights outside and Christmas decorations. Add to that all the other stuff that goes with preparing for your trip.....Phew, I'm whipped. Regardless, I'll be ready come Wednesday.

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

One week to go and oh so much to do. Along with the girls activities this week I also have to wash the dog and pack my 2 little ones for my sisters house. Can't wait for Sat to get here. All those at the world this week, Enjoy!!!

 

[MomlvsGoofy]

Ok now what do I do! We are leaving at 4:30am and the kids are throwing up!!!!! Well it is almost 2am and they have been quiet for about 4 hrs now so maybe they will be ok when I wake them up..sure hope so...

I am at the "Testing the electronics" phase of packing!

Love the kitty and the chandelier is pretty sweet too

I am on a plane tapping away on the iPad using inflight wifi on my way to WDW where I am going to meet so many wonderful people. I am beyond excited!


I have already started spreading pixie dust. Shared all sorts of info about touring WDW with a family in the airport waiting area. They have a four year old and did not know about child swap! Told them about the holiday highlights.

I have a little notebook for collecting autographs and recording memories.
Four year old "Princess" Stacia was so thrilled when I asked her for her autograph. She loved that I called her princess. She even thanked me for asking for her autograph.

Aww, her very own Fairy Godmother So cool you were posting while flying! Hope you landed and got checked in ok! See you in a few days

I have been packing all day, wow 2 checked suitcases, 2 carryon suit cases and two "personal item" sized bags......and i pared down all the clothes...have to also make sure to leave room for fe gifts. Shoes take up so much room! well almost done gonna relax tonight and leave at 12 noon tomorrow for the world. I did manage to have a cruise suitcase and a theme park suitcase, that always helps. see you guys there! and probably some people in the parks we will have our lime green mickey on our backpack, come say hi!

I tend to stuff socks into our shoes Safe trip

Hope everyone is having fun packing and getting ready. It just doesn't seem close enough until we are all packed and going... "now what am I forgetting?" Hope everyone is having fun getting here!

Have some fun at the World for us! (we can't make it this week) Although, we will be at DTD Fri. or Sat!

See you all soon!

Talk about forgetting, I spent about 3 hours yesterday looking for my DVC card Don't know why I didn't make sure I had it sooner or put it in a safe place to start with

I want to be packing right now so bad. But what am I doing? Survey statistics the hard way in excel for school program.

It'll be here before you know it! Take it a couple of hours at a time or you'll go mad

The week will go quick, just think about all the down time you'll have And try not to get sick from working too hard

Ok now what do I do! We are leaving at 4:30am and the kids are throwing up!!!!! Well it is almost 2am and they have been quiet for about 4 hrs now so maybe they will be ok when I wake them up..sure hope so...

There are lots of sickness bugs going around here too - at least 3 lots of kids I've heard of (different families and schools) - I hope they shake it off and that you don't come down with it

Happy Monday all, I didn't get off to a good start when I got caught by an accident on the main road, had to go another way but they have temporary lights up that let through 2 cars at a time well near enough! So I was late for work (about 10 mins but I'm normally in 20 minutes early) and had hoped to have a bit of time to do things! Others hit it earlier and they were just sat there for half an hour so it sounds like it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Packing is done except a few last minute bits, found my DVC card and we've managed to eat most of the food in the fridge and can freeze a couple of leftover bits Also looks like the flights are returning to normal

Have a great day

I've really got to stop being awake still by the time you are awake across the pond. Especially with an exam in 3 hours

We also are working on eating as much food as possible from the fridge before cleaning it a bit.

 

[starwood]

My suitcase is jam packed. Anything else needs to go in DS's. New futon being delivered tomorrow, singing Wednesday at church for Immaculate Conception and choir practice for Christmas after then.... 1:30 flight Thursday after DS's only class. So again I ask....... ARE WE THERE YET!!!!!

 

[mdvlprof]

All packed - except meds. Living room is filled with suitcases. Can we go, yet?

 

[jeanigor]

Final packing complete. Have to bring home the scale from work to make sure there are no surprises when I check my bags at the airport on Thursday.


LESS THAN A WEEK!!!!

 

[starwood]

I'm bringing one of the luggage strap weigher things so if anyone buys too much stuff you can bring it to our room and weigh your luggage.

 

[k5jm]

As soon as my dry cleaning is picked-up, I will finish my packing! It is getting close!

 

[jeanigor]

I have a question for all the DVC'ers out there. In a two bedroom, is there more than one internet access point? If so, will there be more than one cable to connect? Or do we have to share (read: fight) the one connection?

 

[starwood]

There should be 2. A 2 bedroom is a 1 bedroom and a studio put together. I don't think they supply the cable - just the outlet to plug into.

2 cables.


Here is your PSA - Bring Lysol! Wipes, or spray to keep the germs away.

 

[mainegal]

So why am I reading DISboards in my room at Kidani?
I am off to fi d a bus to take me to the Magic Kingdom!

See ya all later!

 

[klam_chowder]

Happy Monday folks!

Can't believe it's launch week!

See you soon Karen Have a safe
trip!!!

Thx, Mark. Safe travels too - looking fwd to seeing you & Louise

And then, even when I get done, I have to study for a final in the morning. Thursday however I have all day off work/exams to finish packing/ launder/etc. Oh yeah, and study for that pesky exam Friday afternoon from 3:30-6.

Good job staying focussed with exams still to go!

Ok now what do I do! We are leaving at 4:30am and the kids are throwing up!!!!! Well it is almost 2am and they have been quiet for about 4 hrs now so maybe they will be ok when I wake them up..sure hope so...

Hope it passes quickly

we've managed to eat most of the food in the fridge and can freeze a couple of leftover bits

I did the same mental excercise: pizza & salad for the Pats game tonite, tomorrow nite: beef shortribs that I made a few weeks ago that I just have to thaw, and DH has said he's taking me out for dinner on Wed = no more actual cooking for me before we leave!

I'm bringing one of the luggage strap weigher things

That thing always travels with us too - I never want to be one of those re-arranging luggage at airport check-in


Got a lot done this weekend: Christmas letter & cards all written, envelopes addressed, most of the stuff assembled for packing. This year's decorations are a sad tho - only a wreath and door mat.

Will finish off the packing tonite and the Christmas cards and pkgs tomorrow. DH has still got to sign the cards and I've recruited him to fold the letters, stuff the envelopes and put on the stamps - we'll see if he can get that done tonite

Woke up to about 5" of snow DH was happy to use his snowblower for the first time this season. We'll see how he feels about it by mid-week as the forecast is for snow all this week with a break if we're lucky on Thursday - the day we leave!

Make it a great week all & safe travels.

cheers,
