Snow-Wigd and the Christmas Elves, a December pre-trip!

[Charleston Princess]

I like Jen's idea of festive hats for Shocker!!! Add reindeer antlers to that list!

It is so hard packing for Florida in December since it could either be really cold or warm. I am not sure if I would even know where to begin.

LOL WOW Shocker's list is impressive...so I'm going to assume we are going to see him in the same outfit everyday...if that's the case can he spruce it up with you know santa hats with bells on them LOL An elf hat would work too!!!! Just an idea LOL!!!

He is always telling me that he is only taking one outfit, before we had a washer and dryer he was going to wash his clothes in the bathtub.....
I imagine we will be out hunting for head attire for him before we leave!

Hmmmm...I really like your list I think you have it mostly covered...love the 3-D glasses idea...how much fun is that going to be!!

I'm so jazzed to see Osbourne lights! I think the 3-D glasses will be interesting...
I heard that the 3-D glass enhance the lights, so we'll see.

Thanks so much Jackie! I'll be sure to add that to the list.....

I'll be watching the 10 day forecast very closely, and planning on layers.

Crisis averted. Aren't you impressed that a MAN saw that your list was shoeless?

Whew! Shocker said that he thought I was planning on going barefooted! I owe you one Jordan!

You would've picked up on it eventually. Just helping a friend out. I'm sure you'll return the favor.

I am not packing shoes because I will be wearing this pair every day we are gone......

You'll be easy to spot in a crowd! Are you sure you really want that?


Anita -

I know you put gloves on your list. I recommend several pairs of those dollar store gloves. They are perfect for the cold weather possibilities in Florida, very portable, and so cost effective if you are like me and constantly lose one.

Honestly - I can't wait for your TR, because I know its going to be a hoot. Something to look forward to during the January blahs.

Great idea Mary Ellen! I love fleece gloves and just bought a new pair a few weeks ago and already can't find them......
I'm putting "several pair of cheap gloves" on my list right now!
Actually I probably should add a few pairs to go in the kids stockings too!

As far as the trip report, I'm sure the drama will begin the night before we leave......
if not before.......

 

[Happydog]

Those gloves are a great idea! They are great for still being able to do things with your hands! I will inevitably loose one while at Disney I suspect!

I am having packing stress too, WigD -- totally trying to be efficient for packing and doubt about the weather makes it difficult!

 

[jenjolt]

I have to agree with you that layers is the best way to go...this morning in the northern part of Florida we had frost and was in the 30s not sure what's going on in Orlando but I imagine its a bit chilly...of course that is all relative on where you are coming from LOL!!

OOOH dollar store gloves...I think I'm going to have to go buy a few of those!

I hope they have some fun colors in the dollar store gloves! I'm excited to have another idea for their Christmas stockings...
I'm planning to give the stockings early in the trip.

Packing.....
I think I'll pack for cool weather....
Watch the 10 day forecast, and if it looks like it's going to be warm, I'll toss in some yoga capris that I can mix in with the track suits....

My sister used to live in your neck of the woods and I know it can get a bit chilly down there.
I'm really expecting cool weather, just hoping it's not freezing!

Good plan! I will bring similar stuff, they have gloves like those (stretchy gloves) at Target, too.... might still have good variety!

I am hoping the sun is out and I am keeping my fingers crossed for low 70s

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Two weeks from today.......

No, I'm not going to start that until I can say 1 week......

I had an email from Owner's Locker last night telling me that WigdoutDISlocker and ShockersDISlocker are set to be delivered to Animal Kingdom Kidani Village on December 20th.

Wow that really brings a flood of emotions!
Excited? Yes!
Nervous? A little.
Sad? Not a bit!

Lots to do to get ready, but somehow it will get done!

Fun happenings at school this week.
We have a one hour late start on Monday's.
Tomorrow is a staff fitness event. (I'm on that committee)
We are bringing our Wii systems and playing!
Can you guess what game I'll have playing on my giant smart board screen?
Yep! Toy Story Mania!!!
Then Tuesday....
Our elves will arrive.
Thursday....
We take our class to see the Nut Cracker Ballet that is performed in Wichita every year.
Then if weather permits lunch in a park!
I can't wait!

My last package arrived from Disney shopping and I have a few pictures to share.

A new tree skirt.

Shopping bags! Can you guess which one I'll tote to school with the Wii fun in it?

Minnie, Mickey and Pluto were in the box too!

My little tree is filling up, I've had several boxes of "Storybook ornaments" arrive from ebay....
This little tree is loaded with Disney fun!

I "need" to head over to Target today, I am going to look there, at least for some that match the scarves that I got for Megan, Keeley and I....
I'm right with you on hopes for sunny and 70's while we are there, wouldn't that be lovely?
