We got Bob and Kristin's Magical Express packet in the mail last week, but nothing had come for Kathrin yet. So I called WDW yesterday and we discovered that it had never been mailed. Why, you ask?

They had her entire address correctly inputted in their system with one "minor" detail... no state! How can you have an address, including a zip code, but not be able to determine the state?

They have promised to send out her documents ASAP so that she will have them for her arrival on the 22nd.

That makes no sense at all Glad the mistake was found and the documents on their way

I talked to Sandy by email this week and finally remembered to ask her where we are staying this weekend! I knew we were at AKV but wasn't certain whether we had a studio at Jambo or Kidani. Now I know to tell my driver on Saturday that I need to go to Jambo.

I am still a little in denial that I will be on a plane bound for WDW 4 days from right now. It doesn't seem possible. But I can't wait.

Me too, Chelle! I am glad we had two separate packets coming or I never would have caught it in time, I fear.

I think I prefer the last weather option! Still too early to check weather for us... Only four days - but that's still longer than you will actually be there, isn't it?

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Have a great time, Elin!

 

[Happydog]

Have a wonderful trip -- your warm up to your second Disney Christmas trip!!!! I am sure you and your friend will have such a special time together...

Thanks, ladies! For the record, the weather forecast has changed in the past 12 hours! I give up. I will pack layering things and a poncho and umbrella. Those things as well as an extra pair of shoes ought to take care of the 48 hours I am there.

 

[oybolshoi]

Elin have a fabulous trip!

 

[ChelleinNC]

You'll have a fabulous no matter what the weather is! Good luck with the packing though

The packing is done, Chelle. I am all packed in a small carry-on!

I packed two extra pairs of jeans on the off-chance one pair gets so wet I can't wear them on Monday. I really wish I could have taken a pair of khaki capris instead of that second pair of jeans, but I fear this is not the weekend for shorter pants.

I have four shirts of varying weights and shirt sleeve lengths to layer. I have two pairs of shoes plus the pair I will wear tomorrow. I also packed 4 pairs of socks just in case. I will wear my Lands End fleece jacket on the plane and I have a poncho and an umbrella. I think I ought to be OK!

 

[PNO4TE]

Have a wonderful trip!!

Thanks, Magdalene!!

I just checked in and printed my boarding pass for tomorrow morning. 24 hours from now I will be well on my way! Unless... you are not going to believe this...

It was 68 here yesterday and for tomorrow the weather forecast calls for our first "measurable" snow! I am hoping to be up and over those storm clouds before anything frozen begins to fall. I may leave here earlier than I had planned just to beat the weather. I will update as I know what the heck is expected.

But now, more than even before, I am delighted to be going to WDW. The only snow I want to see for a while is what Disney will show me on Main Street during MVMCP and at the Osborne Lights!
