[wdwmom0f3]

Ok it's almost 1:00am, why does my ticker still show 30 days? I'm down to 29 baby!!

 

[wdwmom0f3]

I have been so busy lately, I thought my trip report was lost. Anyway, we are more excited than ever. I actually started packing some items today. Mainly medicine,sunscreen, ponchos and things like that. I have my packing list and I have marked off several items. It's so exciting!!

I have taken the dog to the vet had got her shots all up to date. I have a list a mile long of things to get done in the next two weeks. My sister and her family are leaving on the 4th headed down to Disney so that will make the time fly by even faster. I'll be chatting with her off and on while they are there. I can't wait.

We are working out last minute travel plans. DH will be in B'Ham and meeting us in Atlanta. My BFF will also follow me to Atlanta so that she and her kids can follow us to Orlando. Her DH is, as of this moment, not going to Disney. She is NOT happy about it but he doesn't want to go. What do you do? Anyway, we will have a great time without him. My DH just rolls with the flow and is easy to please so it will be great.

OMG, I took my DD Lindsey, 11, to see the Jonas Brothers last Sunday night in B'ham and it was a blast. They put on a great show. I don't even complain about their music playing anymore. I really like those boys.

Well, I'm off to bed. I can't wait until tomorrow. It will be 17 days!!!

I sent letters to all three schools today asking for the children to be excused for the six days that they will be missing, and they all got excused!! I also sent letters to each teacher asking for the work up front so that we can turn it in before we go. The teachers said that they appreciated the advance notice. I am sooooo happy!!

The best part is that my oldest DD has a class in HS that she has to interview & film. Her teacher has asked her to film special moments at Disney for her grade. She is super excited!!

My kids today....

 

[wdwmom0f3]

Well, it has been an interesting day. It started when my 16 year old burnt her hand on her straightening iron this morning. She grabbed it by the wrong end. After a trip to the DR, she is fine. It still hurts her but she is much better.

I have been in and out again all day. I did make a trip to WalMart and got small misting fans for the trip. They are loaded with batteries and ready to go. Tomorrow I am going to go look for a frogtogg towel for DH. I think he will appreciate one in the Florida heat.

ouch! glad DD is ok..I've burnt my hand on my straightening iron way too many times!

 

[wdwmom0f3]

ouch! glad DD is ok..I've burnt my hand on my straightening iron way too many times!

Thank you. She is fine but my other DD woke up his morning with a fever. I'm thinking SWINE FLU!! Some of her class mates have had it and I am so worried that they will get sick when it's time to go to Disney. Anyway, I took her to the Doctor and she tested negative, thank goodness. I just pray that I can keep everyone well because we only have 15 more days left!


I picked up a few more things at the store. Moleskin, some kind of corn pads or something some acid medication and a couple of other things. It's fun buying for the trip.

My BFF and I talked on the phone about the trip. I am starting to sense her excitement. She is a little more reserved than me. More like a lot!
I bought some glass chalk to decorate our car windows. I've never done it before but I really want to do something. It's gonna be FUN!!! Plus, DH wont be at home to stop me, and by the time he sees it, it will be to late!

 

[wdwmom0f3]

Wow, I was reading about those who have been recently and the wait times for their ADR's. Waiting 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hour for an ADR is insane. I hope it's not like that when we go.

 

[disneygirlinnj]

I'm hoping they iron out all the kinks by then!

Me too!!

Well, we are 14 days away now. DD is feeling better so she will be back at school tomorrow. I am praying for a stress free day tomorrow. Today was rough, and it's not over yet. My papaw always said "tomorrow is a new day and it will be a good one". I am counting on it.

I did have fun watching some youtube videos about Disney today. Gotta love them!! I am ready to go, and boy do we need this vacation.

 

[wdwmom0f3]

I can't believe it, it's almost here!!! I have been busy adding a few items here and there to my pile. I have my packing list going and slowly but surely I am getting things marked off. I am so excited but I am getting very forgetful. My mind is at Disney I guess. I walked out of the house without my cell phone yesterday, but I had my kitchen phone in my purse.

I am now debating weather or not I should order a cake for our 20th Anniversary. WHAT SHOULD I DO?? This whole time I was thinking that I would order one for 1900 Park Fare and see if the Prince & Cinderella could bring it out, or walk with them as they did. Now, I am thinking is it really worth 50 bucks or more? Please help me, what should I do?

To me that's a tough call because I'm a total cheap skate, but your 20th anniversary is a big deal. My vote is go for it (heck it's not my money )! Just make sure you video it if the prince and cindy bring it out!

12 DAYS

I know you are too excited at this point. I have a hard time containing myself when we are that close to going. I still have 28 days. I hope everyone is doing better now. Being sick at Disney is not fun, I know from experience.

I ordered a cake when we were there in May and it was a pretty good cake, way too big for us to finish. It was $85 the cake was chocolate, with white chocolate filling and chocolate icing. It had the big white chocolate Mickey on top and the chef had hand painted him.

I think I am going to get a cake at Publix, while we are there, for our anniversary.

I'm cheap too but I really want to do this.

That cake looks amazing!! My DH loves chocolate cake but I love the regular birthday cake type icing, so I was thinking about doing one like that. Should I do that or get a cake from Publix? We will be celebrating a little early anyway, our anniversary is on Nov. 18th, but he will most likely be out of state at that time so we won't be able to go anywhere.

I am going shopping tomorrow for some new shorts for my DD. I hope that I can find some good deals. I also picked up some Clorox wipes today to clean our room when we get there. It says it will kill flu germs so I'm counting on it. We can't get sick at Disney!

 

[wdwmom0f3]

I can start my 10 day count down tomorrow!!!!

We went to B'ham shopping today to find my DD some new shorts for the trip. I found some good deals and now we are just about set for the trip. I still have a list a mile long of last minute things to get but everything is going very well right now.

We have decided to drive Thursday night as far as we can, instead of staying with my inlaws. Long story, but this is working out even better. So now we will leave here and go to my mothers house, an hour & 1/2 away to drop the dogs off and then meet DH at his grandmothers, where we will leave his car for his meeting the following week. So, we can have an early dinner and hit the road. I will be wired so DH can sleep and I will happily drive. My BFF & her girls will follow us down in her Sienna. I think Lindsey will ride with them to free up a little space in my SUV. We will also have less fighting that way too. Just talking about this today made me get so excited.

I hope that we can make it all of the way to Ocala, but we will see.

 

[wdwmom0f3]

Finally, we are 10 days away from our Disney vacation!!

: I can't wait!!!

I have started to get my clothes together for the trip. We have also started getting Laurens things together. I have two suit cases out and we have shorts only in them right now. We will be busy this week trying to decide what to take and what to leave. I always over pack but that's just me. I don
t want to be there and wish I had brought something I forgot. We will finish packing this weekend so everything will be ready. I will be super busy next week getting things around here done.

I bought DH a Frogg Togg towel today. Maybe he will use it to keep him cool. I have heard good things about them so we are going to try it.

OMG... 10 more days!!!!

 

[My3kiddos]

You're down to 9 Days! I'm so jealous!

 

[wdwmom0f3]

You're down to 9 Days! I'm so jealous!

I can hardly believe it myself!

WOW, it's only Tuesday and I am waiting for the weekend. It's gonna be a busy week. My BFF and I have decided to have a yard sale this weekend. Oh my! I can't believe that we are doing this a week before we go but I could use some extra money for Disney, who couldn't right? Plus, it will kill some time and keep me busy.

After the yard sale, we have GOT to get packed. I still have some shopping to do with a list a mile long. I am going to my sisters house Thursday to pick up her two dogs. They leave for Disney Friday morning and I am watching them. She will watch mine for us while we are gone.

Well, I'm off to get the kids to bed. It's getting late.

 

[wdwmom0f3]

Online check in!!!

Today I checked in online!! It was easy as pie and I am really starting to get the butterflies in my stomach!! I was on the phone with Felicia, my BFF, and we were trying to decide on what time to leave. It's set now, so at 1:00pm, one week from tomorrow, I will be pulling out of this place and will be headed to the most magical place in the world...

In the morning I will be going to pick up my sisters two dogs. They are leaving Friday to go to Disney World. Wish me luck!! I will have three dogs here, three kids & my DH and I am having a YARD SALE Saturday!! Am I crazy? The dogs bark like crazy when people come over so this should be interesting. Oh well, I need some extra Disney money!!

Off to do some !!!
