Spectrum Moms Take on The World! Our Last Day...Multiple Posts!

[MRYPPNS]

My Thursday next week will start early as well but I get to roll out of bed at POP! I'll be heading to MK for EMH that start at 8am but first I'll have to take my suitcase to bell services to be transfered to Kidani. I learn from my friends so I will be packing my carry on with stuff that will get me thru the evening - I'll store it in a locker at MK while I'm there and transfer it myself to Kidani. Before I leave POP I hope to be able to get some pictures of the construction at the Animation Inn across the way.

My plans for MK are really simple....I want to catch all those little shows that I never have time for. Lunch is going to be up in the air ---I might have it at MK or I might head to Jambo House to eat at Mara with who-ever is there for the ladies.

Just like in my dream (but hopefully not as freaky) I'll call Julie after she lands. And come up with a game plan for going over to AKL to meet up with everyone as they arrive.

I just did my online check-in for POP! No room requests.

Does anyone want to guess what section I get??? Submit you guesses here and I'll have one of the Spectrum Moms post it next Wednesday after I arrive there!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I guess 70s.

I find it funny that you were the only one with the right number of days on your ticker & now that you are leaving a day early, yours is wrong too!!

Great job on your to do list Julie!! What's that about incoming snow???

I made some edits to my home instructions & re-printed them. I worked on a grocery list to coordinate with the menu I wrote for home, activated my Disney Visa Rewards card that came in the mail this week ($86) and made some edits to the notes on the touring plan cards. I also convinced Tim to let me borrow his ipod touch & loaded it with all of my music & apps so I can use it on the plane & not kill the battery in my phone.

My major goals for the weekend are to get the house cleaned up (kids rooms too - with their help) and finish up any laundry & packing I can do ahead of time. I might make a preliminary trip to the grocery store so I only have to buy last minute things on Wednesday. Luckily Monday will probably be a more productive day than I had planned... Zach got invited on a play date & he has a make up art class from the storm on Wednesday. Alex will go with his mentor for a few hours in the afternoon. If all works out, I'll have at least a couple hours with no kids. I'll try to get a jump start on my to do list for next week.

Oh & by the way... it's 16 degrees out right now! Even 50 sounds like a pretty good temperature to me!

Ok don't completely freak out yet...but my Mom said starting Tues-Thurs we could get up to a foot of snow...I know that's not much. I have been paying attention to FL so much kind of forgot about us I trust Tom Skilling he IS my weather hero


and Amy...good luck w/ getting your things done this weekend and nice score on borrowing the ipod.

I'll tell you what I won't be doing next week at this time.....Ironing!!!!

that is exactly the type of thing I was thinking on my way home. I was thinking I won't be spending half my day in the car, and will be more carefree, have less stress, and dancing around my happy place.

I was chatting with someone and said man I'm going to miss going to the next asms parent meeting because I was really interested in the topic, and she laughed at me and said are you kidding, you know you are going to be having way more fun where you're going, and we laughed and I said you are soooooo right.

5 days ya'll

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

In honor of our visit to the Grand Floridian & 1900 Park Fare:

Next week at this time, we might be getting ready to head to DHS for morning EMH and a ride on Toy Story Mania! Maybe...

Or maybe we'll sleep a little later & just head to Animal Kingdom for park opening at 9am.

Or maybe it will be a combination of both!

Now for the weather, which isn't looking too bad:
