September '09, 22nd anniversary at Pop. FINAL THOUGHTS DECEMBER 3RD

[longing2Batdisney]

Hey! Dana
it's getting soooo close and I can't believe how close for Christie!
I always pack soap, shampoo, and conditioner. but, for some strange reason I liked that bar soap! normally I'm allergic to hotel soap and shampoo! I gave the shampoo and soap to the kids in their souvi bags; they loved it

How is Dale doing? better I hope!!! maybe he should nap first

and, you get to go again in DECEMBER!!!!

Doesn't seem real for me yet....it will once I'm on my way to the airport sunday! I'm mostly packed...gonna check everything sunday morning again...while waiting!!

I don't think Tina's gonna take her laptop, so unless I can connect with my cell...which I'll have to see how much THAT costs first....I MAY be able to pop on briefly! But I'll try my best! Take it easy, I'll be on tomorrow in between cleaning stuff!!

Thanks Ginny . I have to work, but that is ok hopefully we will have a good quiet weekend .

I hope you have a great weekend too. Do you have any plans?

I get to leave at 5 am and go to Don's family reunion. Not really. Very boring. I'm putting a new book on my Itouch so I will have something to do. The motel said they had wifi in the lobby so I can get on the internet with the Itouch. I won't take the laptop. We will be home sometime on Sunday. Won't be soon enough. Those reunions are so boring. I went last year too. Out of 42 years I've been to 6. Am I the bad wife or what. He always goes to mine. Mine are fun, his suck.

Have a great day at work. And enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ginny

I think the problem I have with the soap is because the water in Orlando smells so bad and the soap scent isn't strong enough to cover it up.

I usually bring the soap and shampoo home as souvis too.

Dale is still being Dale, not wearing the c-pap, but he is doing pretty good with the diet. You are right he prolly should nap first .

It will seem more real to me when we load up the car. It feels real now, but we are still 2 weeks out. I am kinda sad the big kids aren't going with us thought.

I am gonna use my cell as my wireless router. I will cancel it once we get home............

Oh yeah, I forgot about the family reunion. I might would just get to coughing and sneezing when we got to the motel and tell Don you don't feel well and if you are coming down with the piggie snorts you don't want to make the rest of his family sick I know I am bad.

Try to have fun, just think about the food .

What an awesome idea. Why hadn't I thought of that? We are bringing the bacon and sausage for breakfast so we have to be real early. I did find out there was a McDonalds so I can get a latte. I may have several. The town is so small there is no Walmart or anything. It's on a river and a bunch of mills. Then Don has made up the treasure hunt. I so hope I don't have to do that.

LOL...........I can't wait to hear how it all went.

We don't go anywhere for a long period of time without taking Dial soap. That's John's favorite. I also bring along our own shampoo and conditioner. I bring the Disney soap and shampoo home with me. They are the perfect size to take camping. I also sent home a huge ziplock bag with Lacey. She works in a homeless shelter in Atlanta and she took those to the shelter. The shelter was very excited to get the donation.

I just haven't really thought about taking soap before . That is a good idea for the Disney stuff though. I bring that stuff home and never do anything with it. I still have some soap from our trip in 2002......LOL.

I think I have everything planned out now so here are the plans..........(subject to change )

Saturday, September 26-Leave Mobile at 3-4 am and stop at a Waffle House and get some breakfast, we have stopped at the one in Crestview before so it may be that one. I am hoping to be at Pop by 12:30 -1:00 pm. If our room is ready (HOPE, HOPE, HOPE)take everything to the room and go for some lunch at the food court, then have a swim. If the room is not ready, go to the food court and have some lunch and hope the room is ready when we get finished. We have ADRs at Plaza for 7pm and then we will stay at the park as long as we can before we pass out.

Sunday, September 27-Sleep in for a while and then head to the Poly for our 11:15 breakfast at 'Ohana. Then head over to Epcot. Try and stay for Illuminations.

Monday, September 28th- Crystal Palace at 8:20 so it is up early and hit the floor running. Spend the early morning in MK and then head over to DHS.

Tuesday, September 29th-Sleep in and hit the food court for lunch or a late breakfast. Grand Floridian Cafe at 5:30pm and the MNSSHP at 7pm. I have a good friend who is in a Mardi Gras Society and she said she thinks she still has one of her costumes and she is going to let me borrow it . I think it will be fun to go eat and wear the costume....... Dale will be mortified .

Wednesday, September 30-Tusker House 8:25am, yes I know I am crazy to have such an early ADR after the party, but that is the only time they had available and I had it made before we decided what day we were going to the party. So we will be at AK this day and we can usually do AK in about a half a day so we can head back to the room and nap. Don't know what we will do in the evening, it may be another pool day.

Thursday, October 1-Epcot day. We have an ADR for Le Cellier at 11:40. We will hit the park early and make a full day of it. After lunch we can make the rounds for the F&W Festival and snack around the world for dinner.

Friday, October 2- DHS for our Mama Melrose ADR at 1:30. This is our last full day so we will just hop around and do the things we missed and everything we wanted to do again.

Saturday, October 3-Dale and my 22nd Anniversary. We will check out and drive home .

I don't have all of our CS places set because we can just eat where ever, when ever.

sounds like a good plan...oh boy a costume that will be fun!!! I can't wait for pictures!!!!

Wednesday should not be too bad! you know you can cover what you want in about a half day you can go back to the room take a quick nap or go out to the pool and just relax!!! and start again in the evening!

That is what I am thinking too. It may turn out to be a totally different plan, but I wanted to at least have an outline........ I don't want it to turn out like May '08 when we felt ruled by the DDP. I hated that we couldn't get 'Ohana for dinner because I feel like we are eating mostly breakfast foods.

Dana,

The day that you leave for Disney is inching ever closer! I'm sure the excitement is building!

I've been away from the Disboards for a few months now. Yours is the first trip report I've read since being back. Thank you so much for the great pics and report!!

I'm glad Disney is expanding, but it is kinda sad that they are expanding after laying off so many people .

I hope the new expansions are good. It does seem as if it is geared more toward girls though.

Dana,

It is building. I am of course getting more nervous about driving down. I hate that part so bad.

Thank you for stopping by. I'm glad to be your "first" since being away. Thanks for the on the pix and report. I am hoping to have a good TR when I get back so I hope you follow along for that too.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I really don't mind road trips too much and we have a lot of fun. It's just that the drive is so boring. There is nothing to see until you get to Mobile and Pensacola. After that it gets boring again.

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

Great plan Dana. Can I ride in the trunk since there will be only the 3 of you? I wanna go! I'm crying now and begging.

It is getting so close for you. I am excited for you and a little jealous.

Ginny

 

[mickeystoontown]

I'm not a little jealous....I'm a whole lotta jealous! I still have over 8 months before I head back to Disney.

If I plan this right. I can squeeze in Dana's car, then yours again, then Connies. I don't think I can be ready to catch Heathers right now. I have to be here to write a paycheck. But I'll keep watching the boards and see who I can sneak rides with. I may be banned by the Dis.
