Recovering Commando's Christmas- 14 Texans Grand Gathering @ WL

YAY SINGLE DIGITS!!!

I'm so nervous/anxious at this point, really I'm like all a flutter inside. I can't believe you at down to 7 days!!! That's craziness!!! See all this planning and waiting and it is finally almost here!!!

Can you do a hair cut at MK barbershop for Will? LOL not sure how unruly his hair is, but I always thought that was a cute idea, plus might save you a trip.
 
Well most of my readers are already in WDW having a fantastic time, i hope!

We got more done this week- Will got a haircut, i just mailed our christmas decorations to the resort via fedex ground (with a 50% discount courtesy of BF who works for them), got last minute things like socks for DS. He got his shots yesterday too.

We are pretty good and ready. Tonight i have to bake some for a cookie exchange on sunday. Might pack some more too.

Oh and read on the disunplugged boards something about a 20% off discount- if you eat at certain QS eateries, you get a coupon on the receipt for 20% off at world of disney, emporium, mouse gears and one or two more. only between 9am-12noon though each day. great deal!!!

Not me, not me! I'm still here. I have 9 days to go and am getting more excited as each day passes. :hyper: :hyper:

I read about that 20% off discount also---too bad we don't really have any QS locations planned into our trip. But who knows, maybe we'll be so sick of the DxDDP by the third day in that we'll do QS the rest of the time, in which case I'm so taking advantage of the 20% off! :woohoo:

I have so much left to do, I can't even think about things like participating in a cookie-swap at this point! I don't know how you do it! :faint:

Anywho, just wanted to pop in to let you know that you're not PTRing for no one, I'll be checking the DIS up until December 11th and then probably on the 12th from my iPHONE at the airport. :rolleyes1

If I don't catch you again---have a great trip and maybe we'll see ya at MVMCP on the 15th! :santa:

Me too, I'm still here!!! PATIENTLY waiting for Sunday!!!
 

Hi guys- been a crazy few days! so my last post was at single digits at 9 days, now we are at 2 days left!! I can't believe after tongiht, i only have one more 'sleep' until the trip.

and GREAT NEWS- i got the job offer today! I need to take a drug test tomorrow (great timing to have to run one more errand huh?) but i will start 12/28. I will work 2 more days during Christmas week at the current job to wrap up and transition projects, but then have off 3 days of Christmas week, so that will be nice. I am leaving on good terms too- the boss is sad to see me go and wishes i would stay, but it just isn't the right fit for me. I am excited and nervous about the new job, but it is a great opportunity with much less stress and less responsiblity. I am looking forward to that part! so glad i got the offer and everything will be sorted out before we leave. ahhh.....i can breathe a sigh of relief and really enjoy vacation now.

So poor Will got sick this past weekend, fever, coughing, sinus, watery eyes etc. Got him some meds from the doc, but he was still feeling pretty pooped tonight after rebounding a bit yesterday. I just hope he is somewhat well by Thursday. At least we have a prescription to take with us.

So most of the to do list is now done. I am almost all packed now, got our ADRs confirmed, stopped our mail service, bathed the dogs, done the laundry etc.

Tomorrow, I just have to vacuum, do one last load of laundry at my sisters house down the street (our washer died, i know great timing!) and final packing of some last minute toiletries and we are ready! it will be a busy departure day on thursday- i have to drive DH to work, so we aren't leaving a car at his work. then i have a hair appt at 9am for highlights and then drop the dogs off at noon at the kennel. then get Will from day care and be home and ready by 1:15 for the car service! We then head to DH's work to get him (he works near the DFW airport) and head to the airport!

So we are very excited, everything is coming together! I just hope we don't have too high of expectations, but we are pretty happy go lucky and will be just happy to be there, period!

I'll try and post one more time before we head out. I won't have my pc with me on the trip, but will have my iphone and have downloaded the new eticket dis app which should make posting here a bit easier! check FB for pics too- Michelle Easler Peters!

Hi Ann- can you believe the day is almost here!????? I'll head over to your PTR for one last look too! i'll be on my iphone and FB too- look for me on FB- i'll post updates there mostly! it's been so fun waiting this out together!!! :santa:

Me too, I'm still here!!! PATIENTLY waiting for Sunday!!!
no more waiting for you missy- hopefully you are having an awesome time!
 
Sounds like you are on your way to the airport now!!!
Have a great time!

We just got back and had a wonderful time, but are exhausted. The WL is BEAUTIFUL!!! You will love it!
 
We are back! had a great time, but came home with bad colds and sinus infections. jsut now getting caught up and will post a trip report soon! highlights were dinner at Shula's, MVMCP, Wishes Dessert party, Drink around the world, babysitters (used them twice! lol), Ohana and Wilderness Lodge. We had a great 10 nights and 9 days, but are oh so tired. I am still in vacation fog. add that in with being sick and this being my second to last day at work and i am really foggy. i start a new job Monday, so tomorrow is my last day here.

Will post TR soon along with tons of photos. Crowds were not bad until saturday, 12/19. We saw almost all we wanted with little waits- 20 minutes or less. Had great meals, but dining took way too long for us. Weather was great too- warm then got slightly chilly. Used photopass. did lots of shopping- got the D&B white purse, light up holiday castle for the Christmas village, t-shirts, sweatshirt, new watch, train set for DS and more. spent a ton, but had a blast!
 
I'm glad y'all had a great time!! I know after 10 days, DH & I were definitely exhausted, so I know with a 2 year old you had to be worse off than us! Too bad about getting sick. :scared1: I hope it didn't interfere with your good time. I'm looking forward to the TR!! :thumbsup2
 
Hi Michelle! I'm glad you all had a great time - can't wait to read the trip report! Happy Holidays!
