One Week!!! 
We just end up on whatever ride -- there aren't any rides that are traditional last ones for us. This year our last rides were...
MK: Splash Mountain
Epcot: Well, it would have been Test Track -- we didn't do any rides when we went back in the evening.
DHS: Tower of Terror for those of us brave enough to tackle it.
AK: Kali
You better ante up on the news pretty soon...or else...

So you want the big news?
Ok...
I got new glasses!!
Just kidding! Though I did get new glasses, they are super cute and I love them.
Anyways...I should have called this PTR,
"The Plans Keep on Changing".
Or
"How many times will LL call Disney Reservations?"
Either title certainly fits better than the one I went with because I've made some changes. 7 days out from the trip.
But wait.
We are not at 7 days anymore...
Ready?
We are at 4 days!!
Yes, folks. That's right. With 7 days to go until our fabulous Disney vacation, I added three nights and changed our flights so that we are now leaving on Sunday.
Why?
Because for the last TWO months I have been trying to make plans with my family over Labor Day weekend.
Last Friday we finally agree that we are going to rent a boat like we did earlier this summer.
Then Earl shows up. Not so great boating weather. So we have no plans except to hang out at my parents house.
Marc & I have been whining all week to each other how we just want to be on vacation. Jen had to listen to me whine on the phone yesterday about how I'm ready for vacation. We are just DONE. Cooked. Spent. Finished.
That got me to thinking...why can't we just go to Disney early? Heck, we have time! We could drive.
Driving made Marc nervous. So then I hopped on Southwest and started to look...
To change the flights...not bad...oh my goodness...there are nights available at Disney....MUST CALL MARC!
That is how my day went at work today.
Since we aren't renting the boat anymore, I am getting a bigger Birthday present from my parents.
We are adding 3 nights at Pop Century for the AP bargain price of $179 for all three nights. We did have to pay to change our flights since the flights were more expensive...so for a grand total of $280, we are adding three nights on to our trip. Plus food and Marc's park tickets but in my fuzzy Disney math world, those don't count.
There are a few sacrifices to make.
1. No Magical Express Yellow Tags. They told me I could "describe" my luggage to the ME desk and they could pick it up. No thank you. That nearly gave me an heart attack. So we will have to do the baggage claim thing at MCO.
2. We will have to head to DTD to buy my Annual Pass to get secure our AP rate at Pop. A small sacrifice to pay. So it will be a bit of a running around arrival day but for THREE extra Disney days. I'll take it.
No new ADRs have been made, no new plans have been made. We are going to fly by the seat of our pants.
Our flight leaves Manchester around Noon on Sunday, landing around 3:15. I'm so excited. We have been packing like mad tonight since we are leaving for my parents house on Friday and leaving for the airport from their house.
So in just 4 short days, we'll be making our way to Disney!
Surprised??
