The only thing that ruined my trip a little bit was my Grandson decided to come a little early so I wasn't home to meet him right away. But on a good note, I was able to buy him some Mickey ears with his name-Caleb and of course bought his older brother Noah a pair too
We got home late last night and went to visit first thing this morning.

Congrats on the new baby!

Hang in there, Sillylilly, help is on the way! I can't believe your vacay is just around the corner now. Hope you have soooooo much fun! (and get the BP down!)

2 days to go!! Starting to panic a bit. We are supposed to get really bad rain all day friday, which is when we fly out. Ugh! Really hoping it pours tomorrow night and we make it out on friday or I am going to be so upset!

Ran all my last errands today. Bags all packed. Tomorrow we have DS swim lesson, online check in for SW, and thats it! 48 hours from now I will be on a plane to MCO!

Heading down Sept 28th-October 8th!
Four nights at the Polynesian and five nights at BLT our DVC home.

Us too! Arriving at the Poly on 9/28 for four nights - we don't get to do BLT though, have to head home after 4 nights. Maybe we'll see you around the volcano pool

We are back from our trip It was an amazing time. Weather was great and the only time it really rained was when we were at the hotel taking a break so it was perfect timing (fyi for those worried about rain for their trips-before we left when I looked at the forecast it showed rain every day)
The only thing that ruined my trip a little bit was my Grandson decided to come a little early so I wasn't home to meet him right away. But on a good note, I was able to buy him some Mickey ears with his name-Caleb and of course bought his older brother Noah a pair too

Can't wait to take my daughter, and my other daughter and her husband and my Grandsons to Disney in January

Welcome home! I am so glad you had such a great trip!
Congrats on your new grandson! I bet his Mickey ears are adorable on his tiny little self!

here we are in HS after a rain shower. We had to coax a photographer out of hiding to take our picture. We were at the car stunt show and walked to the exit where we got the pic taken. We were soaked.

That is SO cute! On our honeymoon it POURED one afternoon...we walked down the middle of Main Street as if it was sunny and beautiful...splashing in the puddles and laughing....everyone taking cover looked at us like we were insane, but we had SO much fun! In fact...it is one of my favorite memories from that whole trip!

We lovingly call the guy I'm training "Stoney McPothead."

So glad to hear that!

Today is our last day here. So sad. Breakfast in bed for the girls and after we pack AK for a few hours.
Last night was MNSSHP. Sooooo many people! We staked out great spots for the 2nd parade on the curb and ate dinner there, then ran over and snagged front row for the last villians mix and mingle. We rode tons of walk on rides early and did several of our photo ops and trick or treating after 11:30, when there were no lines for candy and the dwarves were only a 15 minute wait.
The only preparty line we joined was for Flynn and whats-her-name. He didn't disappoint!

It has been an excellent trip and I want another week. Oh, remember our mousekeeper Blanca? She set up a tea party in our room with all our accessories, toys and the teapot my dd bought. Delightful!

All that is left to do now is spend our extra food credits. To our amazement, we have 10 qs meals and 15 snacks left. Cupcakes for everyone! Lots of cheap souvies! I will also purchase sandwiches for the flight home and trade out remaining meals for 3 snacks each for gifts. Heard it will work....let you know tomorrow.

I heart WDW!

Sounds like you're having a very magical trip!

Funny enough, I did the same thing with my Dooney, and he still was like ....

I was really happy with the end result though!

Oh goodness...yeah...the language barrier can be rough sometimes. I'm glad you were happy with the end result. That's all the matters, right???

My toes still look good, but my fingernails look insane. I'm going to attempt to do them myself this afternoon...if it is a hot mess I will have to go get them fixed! LOL!

2 days to go!!

2 days happy dance It's almost our turn!!!!

We leave tomorrow morning, flying out on Southwest and will be there for 2 weeks this year. I'm hoping that if it rains it will be in the afternoons and not the mornings. But other than that, every thing is planned out - from ADR's, to MNSSHP to the half marathon!

Grab those tissues! I saw this image on Wikipedia today and thought I'd share it. Jim Henson's birthday is this week (he would have been 75), and this tribute picture was so touching!

It's like Mickey is saying to Kermit, "I know, I've been there, too." So sad!

I really hope it isn't bad. We are packing the car and starting the drive Friday. Although if it didn't rain, it would be our first dry trip down Apparently it is our tradition..

2 more days from now we will be in the car and on our way!!

 

[magicmia]

Can't believe we are leaving this weekend!
Rain or Shine it will be a MAGICAL time!

Super cute!!!



Our house is complete chaos. The kids are dressed already because we have such an early flight and my son is bouncing (litterally) off of everything! We have to wake up around 6am tomorrow. Here are my monkeys with their shirts on and holding up our final paint chip from the calendar!

Super cute picture! Have a wonderful trip, ariekannairb! Those of us that are left will be bringing up the rear right behind you! Basketkat, love the mani!
Today was a better day, still can't put my shoes on because of the edema in my feet and legs. I wore a black suit and Tevas all day today! I'm hoping the extra diuretics
I went to the pharmacy and picked up the last of the meds we needed refilled to take with is to FL, and picked up cat and dog food for my MIL and FIL, who will be stopping out at our house to feed the cats. They wil be babysitting our dog, which is a huge worry off of our minds, as she is our third daughter.
One more day of work, two more sleeps, I can see the finish line!
