So list checking did work out... both times. 3/7/10 - FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shhhhh - no "S" word allowed!! :eek: (but I'll bet the grocery stores have been a madhouse today with people stocking up on milk, bread, eggs and beer!!! :rotfl2:)

Safe travels, Elin. Wishing you and your friends a magical weekend! pixiedust:

You are so right, Laura - the stores were packed! I needed to grab a few things for Bob and Kristin for this weekend and could have kicked myself for not going sooner!

I know we will have a great time, thanks.

Have a great trip!

Thank you so much!!! :goodvibes

I hope all snow stays away!!! :goodvibes

Thank you.... Just need it to stay away until I get to the airport!! :)
 

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! :eek: 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! :teeth:

I KNOW can you believe this weather report!!!!! We are in the same boat!!!! (MD up 270)... OMG! :scared1: I don't know if I am ready for snow! I too would rather see it in Disney!!! :laughing: Good luck tomorrow!

I am off for the airport! It is still 45 degrees here, so I will miss the snow. Good luck with it Happydog! ;)

I will post an update when I get home from work on Monday evening. Meanwhile, everyone have a wonderful weekend. I know I will. :yay:

:thumbsup2 We'll be thinking of you this weekend, Elin (and dreaming of the upcoming trip!!! ;))
 
I hope you have an easy trip home and that your weekend was fabtastic! Can't wait to hear all about it...:goodvibes
 
I am home!! The trip was wonderful. Full of good times and sad times. The best way to describe it is that we cried a little and laughed a lot. We also did an insane amount of park and resort hopping. :eek:

I will try to update tomorrow, but I am dead tired. We got in last night/this morning after 1:30 and the alarm went off at 5:30. When I got home I taught my normal schedule. So I need sleep. Thanks for your patience!!
 
Happy to hear you had a great trip! Now it's time to start getting ready for the next one!! :woohoo: :cheer2: :yay:

I've started to look at Accuweather for an idea of what temps will be like. The forecast goes through Dec 22nd today so here goes:


Wed, Dec 16: Cloudy to partly sunny: Low: 49 / High: 73.
Thur, Dec 17: Partial sunshine: Low: 49 / High: 71.
Fri, Dec 18: Sun and some clouds: Low: 52 / High: 69.
Sat, Dec 19: Sun and areas of high clouds: Low: 54 / High: 73.
Sun, Dec 20: Overcast with spotty showers: Low: 59 / High: 76.
Mon, Dec 21: Rain: Low: 51 / High: 73.
Tues, Dec 22: Mostly cloudy: Low: 53 / High: 68.


I do know one thing for sure, this forecast will change many times in the next week or so (:rotfl2:) but if this is even a little accurate, it looks pretty good! :thumbsup2

:goodvibes

I will take any weather down there as long as I have good weather for traveling! :rotfl:
 
Ten days until I leave again!!! :eek:
 
Elin, just wanted to say it was such a pleasure to finally meet you! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your little trip! And now to get ready for the BIG trip! :banana:

It was nice to finally meet, wasn't it? Kind of like an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" moment!

The rest of the trip was interesting. The flight from Baltimore was 3 1/2 hours late and Sandy, Val and Hayley had to sit on the plane for 2 of those hours because they were already in line to be de-iced (again) and to take off. We ended up not being aboe to go to HS that night, but did go to DD for dinner at WP Express and some shopping. :)

Sunday morning we had breakfast at the Mara and then met our two CM friends at 9:00. They took us over to Epcot and one of them had 1-day hopper passes for the other three. :love: We went into Epcot and stayed until 1:30 or so, then walked over to Beach Club (where we ran into mutual friends who had just arrived from Chicago!), Yacht Club and BoardWalk to look at their Christmas decorations.

Jumped on a bus to the MK and walked over to the Contemporary, where we began our resort monorail loop for Christmas decor gazing. We stopped in at Capt. Cook's for a Dole Whip snack too!

At the GF we jumped on a bus bound for HS and Hayley rode ToT while we three ladies took in the Osborne Lights. Even though I had gone by myself the night before I was delighted to get to see them again. :teeth:

About 6:30 we took a bus from HS to the TTC and monorailed over to the MK for MVMCP. We stayed there until after midnight and arrived back at AKL about 1:30. Let me tell you... that alarm at 5:30 was RUDE! But we packed a lot of great times into those 28 hours we had together.

I see I have done a mini TR just in my reply to you! I will expand upon it when I have the chance to upload photos and give it all a little more thought.

I really loved spending time with you and the other DDA folks at lunch at Mama Melrose on Saturday. That was a real family-like lunch we had and it was delightful to get to know everyone even better. :goodvibes
 
Oh welcome back and I hope you had a wonderful time, it sounds like you did have a magical trip! :goodvibes

Well, that forecast is out the window already!! :rotfl:

They took the rain out of the 12/21 forecast, but now the high's will only be 60 - 63; the lows will be low 40's. (adding more long-sleeved shirts to my packing list - and a winter coat, gloves and a scarf!! :laughing:)

Layers! You have to have layers in December at Disney :thumbsup2 I always take the small stretchy gloves and keep them in my jacket or sweatshirt pocket and a windbreaker is great over a sweatshirt of long sleeved shirt. :goodvibes

Keep watching that forecast. If it changes as much as it did for my trip you will have to repack about 17 times before you leave!

I don't have time to even think about the forecast and packing until Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. And then that is all the time I have at all! :eek: So, if it changes after Sunday I am in trouble!

However, I will have a little bit of everything packed so I will be fine. There are advantages to driving. :teeth:

::yes:: Layering is always best. That is what I did last weekend and I was perfectly happy. Last year we needed warm things and my Lands End fleece was perfect. The windbreaker is also a great idea. One I hadn't thought of! I don't have one of those, so maybe I need to think about where I could find one. Any suggestions?
