Ok, here is my news:
8 more days!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe I'm in the single digits! I have some other lists, etc to upload, and I will hopefully get to that later today! I'm so excited!
It seems surreal- all this planning and now, only a tad more than a week away!
I've been getting into the mood by watching Disney movies and listening to Disney music on my iPod.
I've watched:
Lilo and Stitch
Mary Poppins
Princess Diaries 2
Beauty and the Beast
Little Mermaid
Cinderella
Aladdin
I'm still hoping to watch a few more, but Stitch always falls asleep. Do you know how hard it is to watch a movie with snoring right next to you?? Argh!!
Oh, by the way, Stitch keeps asking questions about the trip. "Do you realize we are just over a week before we leave?" "Do you think my fleece sweater will be fine?" "We should probably pack this week since the weekend will be busy!" I think he is excited- maybe he is just excited to have a week off work, but oh well!
I'll update later today if it doesn't get too busy at work!

I finished my Souvie List, I think. It isn't too long, but that leaves some wiggle room for me to make some impulse buys!
Must Haves:
Hooded zippered sweatshirt- I have an old one (just Mickey Mouse) that I live in. Stitch said I've been wearing it since we started dating!
Mask from Italy- I bought one on my second trip, and decided I liked it so much that I would buy one on every trip. Yes, I only have two, but this will make three. I've always loved masks, and these are stunning!
Mickey Head Necklace- I saw it someone's pictures on their TR and decided I had to have one! It is the Mickey head icon that is flat on a chain. It is silver. She said she bough it at Uptown Jewelers!
Coffee Mug(s)- I need at least one- maybe more! Stitch got me into coffee, and I drink it everyone morning now with him! Well, the mugs we registered for for our wedding have slowly be breaking. I want one or two (or three. . .) heavy duty WDW mugs! Gotta get one with Stitch and probably Belle and Mickey and. . .
Christmas Ornament '08- gotta have something to remember the trip by. An '08 ornament to hang on the tree and always remember! (It isn't like I need another Disney ornament!
I have tons from when I worked at the Disney Store!)
Cutomized Mickey Ears- oh yeah! I have to go to the Chapeau and get some ears!! Woo-Hoo!
The other things are things I'd like to get:
MVMCP '08 pin
Wall-E and Eve pin(s)
Hollywood Studios '08 pin
Messanger Bag
Christmas ornament for my Goddaugher- this year is her first Christmas
Partner's Statue- can't decide if I want to spend the money on this!
CDs from the parks, shows, etc.
That's my list now. I'm certain I'll see all kinds of things I need when I'm there!

I've been waiting to do these posts until I was a week out! Here we go:
A week from today, we will be arriving in Orlando around 8pm. We will hop on the ME and ride to the Coronado Springs Resort! We will check in and get our room and KTTK cards!!!!
We will go to our room, drop our stuff off and then explore the resort. We'll check out the main building to see where the food court is! We will shop in the gift store if it is still open. We will walk around the grouds, and I will shoot pictures galore of CSR at night!
Oh, I can hardly wait! We chose a late flight because I thought I would have to work that day. I do, but I have some comp time I can take off. I'm decided if I want to take only the half day which will give me time for lunch and quickly packing up the last of the things before we leave. Or if I should take the whole day off (I just today received a little more comp time to cover the morning of our departure day!) and work on packing and visit with my grandmother who is coming into town- I didn't know that until after I booked my trip. I can't decided. I think work would make the day go faster, but it will be a drag to be there. (However, my job is great! I can think of other things will I work!)
Anyway, I just had to share! I can hardly believe it is almost time to go! I still have to pack, buy last minute things (like ponchos and 3 oz tolietries!, etc!), get my travel papers together, be sure I have everything I need, pack my park/camera bag, get my overnight bag ready (just in case!), ummm . . .I'm sure there is more, but I can only handle so much!!!!!
That's about it for today! I'll post my packing lists, etc as we get closer!

(I wanted to include pictures, but I can't find any that will work!)
One week from today, I will be walking down Main Street to see my beautiful Castle!!! (Yes, my castle!) Immediately after shooting a few pictures of the Castle in the morning light, we are off the Space Mountain. After that, we might hit other things in tomorrowland. Then, we will go as we please! Maybe Fantasyland or the hub for more pictures as we head to Adventureland. I haven't really made a plan- just Space Mountain first, and we'll go from there! We might hit the Chapeau to get my some ears for the day.
We'll hang out in the Magic Kingdom for a while and see how we are. If we need a break, we may go back to the resort. After a break (if needed), we will be back at MK for our 4:55 ressie at Liberty Tree Tavern! Yum yum!!!
Of course, it will be more rides, shopping, and then Wishes!
The park is open until 11, but I don't know how long we will stay! I'd like to stay all day, but Stitch might not be up for that!!
I can hardly believe in one week I will be at the Magic Kingdom. I have to say it is one of my favorite parks- probably teetering on th edge of being my favorite, but I'm not sure! I just can't wait!
Mickey, look out, here I come!!
6 days!

Ok!! I know I didn't post yesterday, but I fell asleep with Stitch watching Ratattouille!!! (Love Remmy!)
One week from Yesterday (Thursday) will be Thanksgiving Day! Yum yum! We will start at AK. Stitch is very excited to see the animals, so I'm certain he won't be opposed to walking the different "treks!" First thing, we are headed straight to Everst! Oh, I can't wait!!!
I've been waiting for this!!!! Probably ride it and get a FP! Then, we will probably head to the safari since the animals will be out early! Then back to EE for the FP time! Somewhere in there we will see Tough to Be a Bug! 
I love this show, and I'm certain DH will get a kick out of the stink bug (that is, if he still farts!) We will just take the day as it comes.
We will leave around 3:30 or so to go back to CSR for some picture and relax time. Then we are off to EPCOT to take the monorail to the Poly for our dinner at Kona! Yum yum!!!!! Hopefully, sometime around dinner, we will get to explore the resort and white sand beaches! Very Romantic
We will possibly be off to DTD or back to the Resort. I'm not sure which. I guess we could hit a park again that is still open- like MK or whatever. I dont' know. We'll probably take it slow! 
Then, one week from today- BLACK FRIDAY! Ha ha! I'm glad I'm not shopping- just the shopping at Disney!
We are headed to Hollywood Studios today for the majority of the day. RRC and TOT, here I come!!!
After those, we'll see about TSM. Hopefully, we'll get a FP. Then off to explore. None of my days are meticiously planned- I just planned the park and the first ride or two! Then I figure we will just go from there.
After we play, we will head to EPCOT. We have a CP package at Marakesh at 5:15 and the show at 8:15. We'll just walk around the showcase for a little while after dinner- maybe try to hit a ride or two before the show! Most just pictures and shopping. That is also EMH night at EPCOT, so we will probably stay and hit a few rides depending on the crowd after the CP! It will be a picture night for lights, etc, too! (That's a lot more time at EPCOT than I thought- cool!
)
That's it for us on Friday!
I'll be packing like crazy tomorrow!!! Sunday and Monday are crazy, so tomorrow is my packing day! Tuesday, we'll have a little time!
Wow, I can hardly believe we are this close!!
4 more days!

I'm back! I had a great time- Dh was less than happy to be there. I think he enjoyed some things, but he didn't have a blast! 
How can you not enjoy Disney world???
I will be starting my TR soon!
I'll post a link here once I get it started!

I had a great trip!!!! Stitch was troubled- to borrow Lilo's line! Stitch (DH) didn't have a blast like I thought he would. (We'll get to that later!)
Overall, we had great weather- beautiful sun, great temps, perfect. One day it rained- a great deluge in the morning and then on and off the afternoon and evening! Oh well- can't win 'em all!
My PTR is here
A few introductions for those who haven't read my PTR:
Cast:
Me (Lilo)- just turned 30. I love Disney- always have. Worked as a Disney Store CM for a while and almost worked at WDW! I'm a big kid when I get to WDW- all my cares melt away!
DH (Stitch)- 32 and usually a big kid. Found out during the trip that theme parks aren't his thing, so he went along for the ride. Not a huge Disney fan, but can tolerate it when requested! Loves cars and cartoons!
Stage:
Stitch was trying to come up with something awesome for my 30th birthday. This was his idea: got to Disney World over Thanksgiving for my birthday! Even though I didn't technically celebrate my birthday there, it was a great present!
The chapters will be presented at the bottom, so you can follow along without the extra things if you like!
Ok- following in LL's style, I am going to make a teaser list:
Did we stick to the schedule?
Who had a meltdown in Morraco/France?
Did I meet any DISers?
Did we go to every park?
Which ADR did we skip?
What were our favorite attractions?
Who won Toy Story Mania?
Who won Buzz?
What ride did we get stuck on?
Did we have a Dole Whip?
What was our favorite ADR?
Did I get to meet the REAL Stitch?
What ride finally got Stitch to act like a child?
Why we didn't meet more characters?
Did I get all my souvies?
Will Stitch ever return to WDW?
Chapters for the TR
The introductions- you are here
"To Infinity and Beyond!" - Toy Story-- On our Way!
"To Infinity and Beyond!"- Toy Story-- Our Room

Yes, LL, there were meltdowns in Morroco and France on our trip as well!
Hopefully, DH will be ok with a solo trip, but right now, my mom and I are conspiring on a trip together. We will see if that flies or not!!!
