See You All On Saturday !!!!!!!

We are leaving tomorrow for Disney so I probably won't be here after this post.. I do have a lap top in Florida and we WILL be watching the pod cast thingy about Dreams and 2011 at Noon Friday!!!

Safe Travels to ALL !!!!!

Anyone who is in Disney now...

How is the weather looking? Are the 40% scattered storms practically everyday just the normal summer showers that blow by?

I am about to order our MNSSHP tix and dont want to drop $120 to walk around in the rain for 4 hours.

So far the weather has been wonderful. Warm (or sometimes hot). Humid - yes. Rain - a little, but what I would call scattered showers. Occasional thunder /lightning, but not always accompanied by rain.In fact, no rain so far today. Don't recall any yesterday either.

BTW - you do know that for MNSSHP you can usually get into MK at 4pm. (I wish I knew that last time we went!)

Ian, if you are still reading this...Ask Cheri if I have permission to leave my Canon big camera at home

I figure with the drinking we will be doing the shots would be too blurry for use anyways. I'll have my little pocket Cannon for crime scene photos, of the choc cake and goose incidents.

Hey I saw some lemon goose the other night and thought of you. we need to find that orange kind. I want a taste of your drink that night.

I'll have my big camera with me, great for all those little crime scene details!

Had a good day today. DHS then took the boat to the Swan and walked round the boardwalk to Epcot, so enjoyed a few hours there too. Back to SSR for a nap and soon off to DTD for a meal possibly at WPE. Lovely and hot, but woke up just now to see it has rained a little. Might have to take ponchos with us.

Managed an excellent night's sleep eventually, after the headache kept me awake for a while. John did the waking up all night and was already on the computer dressed and ready when I woke up this morning.

MK tomorrow!!

Safe journeys to those traveling.

Good luck it's always worth it to go early

That's what we think too, but the amount to change our tickets over to another day is a little pricey. More than we originally paid for them. I'm holding out for a miracle, but I don't think it will happen. It would be a lot easier if we went early even if it did cost a little extra.

Famous last words!

Got back to the home and found that it was raining here. Must be just a small system as it was fine at Walmart on the 27/192

Hello Sept 12'thers!!!

If anyone thinks of it onboard, I am trying to find our FAVORITE head-waiter Simone from Italy. Not only is he dreamy to look at, but was so supremely helpful when it came to my daughter's food allergies.

So, if anyone happens to have him as their head-waiter, can you please ask him if he will still be on the Magic the week of Thanksgiving? and drop me a PM if you think of it when you get back.

I've requested him but don't even know if he will be on the ship or not at that time.

Much appreciated and happy sailing!

He was on the ship in April...

thanks for the weather updates!

i did know about the 4pm thing. thanks! we are going to get there around 3pm, check in, and let the baby nap...unless he naps most of the way down (which would be great!). Then hit the party. Definitely before 7pm, but prob not at 4. That is what happens when you have a little one. It is OK though, we were just there in April.

You know it must be time to go to Disney when I'm this happy at 4 in the morning! The limo gets here in 40minutes to take us to the airport. We're all ready! Time to wake up the kids.

Safe travels everyone!

I just realized the poor dog is going to be sad while I'm gone. She is going to be in her kennel the whole week while Paul and the kids are a work/school

Oh well, she's a dog and I have a cruise to attend

I know - I'm missing my little girls already and Im not even gone yet... but the house sitter is all lined up and they should be just fine - I hope your kennel people are kind to your kids - we have several here that are excellent!

models still show it going north - looking good
