Sunday is going to be a very confusing day. I don't know if I should not do anything that day and just leave or if I should push it and make all the events I REALLY INCREDIBLY SO MUCHLY want to go to, but prolly miss a little sleep before school.

I think I'll give up my sleep.

 

[disneynerd420]

WOW... that sounds awesome! I can't wait to see pictures.

 

[NotSoEvilStepmother]

Yay!!!!!!!!!

Saturday morning sounds the best, in my opinion. You're gonna have so much fun, lucky ducky.

 

[DisDancerina]

I'm nervous that it's gonna be really busy, though.

By the way, no HM for me The park closes at 8 the day it closes.

Stupid Holiday Haunted Mansion.

But you've got Priority Seating for Fantasmic! Whoot whoot!!!! I wish I'd had that, man. You don't know how hard it is to see front and center when you're behind a tree.

But I'm kinda over Fantasmic for now.

Pssh...homework is for losers. (I'd know, I still haven't done my own!)

It was as a courtesy to all you folks, out there, that I requested she updated the night before she leaves. Truly.

Have a great time Dani!!!

Excited to see my Ariel hair tomorrow? LOL

 

[NotSoEvilStepmother]

So here's a status report for Dani.

She (her new red hair) and her mom made it safe to Anaheim Wednesday night (after calling me in a panic, asking for the hotel number! )

So far, she says that the first 2 days have been "AMAZING!!!!!! XD" and she's excited for the next day and a half.

She also says that the new dragon for Fantasmic (Murphy) is great.

And lastly, she sends her DISluv.
