I just wanted to tell all of you guys to have a great time! I am so sad that I won't be able to make a solo day trip to see the holiday stuff one last time (my limited time in the parks 2 weeks ago just wasn't enough, and it got off to such a stressful and chaotic start), AND to meet up with the growing list of DIS'ers that are going to be there!

At first, I was going to be missing out on meeting Kerri, Jasmine, Shyboy, Kaycee, theAxiom and Nancy (I already missed out on meeting Nancy two weeks ago). Now I find out that Mary Jo and Toocherie are going too! I have been silently brainstorming and plotting the last week or so to see if there was any way I would be able to make it, but it seems like too many odds are stacked against me now. I am still recovering from being sick (not 100% better yet). Also, I spent too much money on developing all my film from the last 2 DLR trips and I also had to buy my friend's Park Hopper when she fell short of cash, so that put a big dent in what money I have left. So it is just not in the cards for me this time. But I was trying. I kept hoping for a miracle, even though I was laying low and being quiet! I really could have used one more full day in the parks to see the holiday stuff AND to meet all of my DIS buddies, but I don't think it is meant to be this time. I also wanted to go on HMH and IASW one last time - just in case they don't do the holiday overlays in Fall/Winter 2009 (you never know what to expect with Disney - they may skip this year and bring them back in 2010).
So make sure when all you guys meet up, you take a big group photo to post here for all of who are not joining you! At least I know I am not the only one missing out on the fun - Courtney, from what I understand, will also not be joining you, so I don't feel as bad that I am not going!!!
