Thanks Tammi! I sure hope my head doesn't explode on the plane. I have been sick for a week...and still not completely well

Yuck!!!



Get better soon!!

Enjoy your travels if I don't see you before then!!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

I have been very lucky in that some experts have taken me under their wings and given me a lot of tips!!!


Mac even gave me a coveted set of golden Mickey ears - which everyone has been asking for!! then last night someone else gave me an entire princess costume! They have successfully hooked me!

I just spent a couple of hours browsing Disneyshopping.com. I used the free shipping code for orders over $100 and the Disney25 code for 25% off. I got some fun things like a Mickey Laptop bag and a goofy trailer hitch cover. I also picked up some christmas ornaments for the cousins kids. The kids exchange small gifts on Christmas eve so those are cute and best of all I don't have to worry about what to buy anymore Since it is almost 1:30 AM I'd better get to bed as Colby will be up bright and early which means I will be too. I just wish that I were tired. Oh well, have a nice night. Good morning Clare.

I have a mickey trailer hitch cover. It was bigger than I thought lol I love it though.

Not yet. Dh showed interest in the suites at ASMu, but they are already booked!

I looked at the cabins at Ft. Wilderness, but they look small to me. I was thinking POR as well I just don't know lol Dh like the idea of the boys having their own room, so I have got to figure something out.

Great!! Do you know where you are staying yet?

 

[tmfranlk]

okay I need to get Olivia to sleep apparently daddy can't. Night all.

I might be on in the morning before we leave. If not see you all on Wed. Dec 6th.

In case you come back on today before you leave...Have a great trip!!! (Oops, looks like it's about time to leave for the airport so I guess I missed you.)

arg I was not able to print postcards.

 

[Tammi67]

Bye Jennifer! I hope y'all have a great time!

Jennifer - YAY! THIS IS IT!!

Kristine - What does your Wildlife Excursion include? I am TOTALLY confused on all the offerings. I e-mailed AllEars and she replied that the quote in the newsletter was for sunSET safari. Well, that van only holds 8 people! You would think they would reserve it for concierge only. The lady at Dining looked up the sunrise safari with breakfast at Tusker House and it was showing concierge level only, too. That was when she tranferred me to IPO.
I feel your pain on the packing! DH and I have been packing since 8 AM! He is at Target now, and I think I am finished. We are only taking 2 checked bags and that is making me nervous. If we buy anything we won't have room to bring it home. I guess I can make DH put the souvenir duffle in his suitcase on the chance that we need it. My cases are too full to even hold the empty duffle!

Stephanie - I hope your sister feels better quick!

Pixie dust to all who aren't feeling well! Please don't share it with me!!

We stayed in the FW cabins several years ago. 6 adults and 2 infants and we had plenty of room. There is a bedroom in the back with a queen sized bed and a set of bunk beds. There is only one full bath though. Full sized fully equipped kitchen and a relatively large living room with couch. There is a trundle bed that pulls out from the wall that easily sleeps 2. So unless there are more than 6 of you there is plenty of space. Not to mention the deck area and grill. The ambiance of Fort Wilderness is unlike anywhere else on Disney Property. Very quiet and relaxing You have your own little "house" with no one to bother you. I say go for it I'd do it again in a heart beat if we didn't have DVC now.

Good morning Tammi and everyone else.
tomorrow, tomorrow woo hoo

Yay! Everybody is getting so close! Jennifer is already on her way! I think we are one of the last families to arrive since we don't get in until Saturday!

 

[my3princes]

I need to dash to Radio Shack before picking up the boys so I'd better get moving. SIL dropped them off today so I'm on pick up duty. At least I had a couple of minutes of quiet. I actually loaded a Disney Preschool game on the computer today. Nick and Hunter used to play it a lot so I thought Colby might like it. He is hooked. I may never get my computer back. Good thing I'll have the wireless network running by tomorrow afternoon, that way we can all have computer time at once.

Have a great day. For all those travelling, Have a safe and magical trip.

Thanks for the review Deb! It will only be 4 of us & I like the bed that pulls out from the wall. The only thing is, the boys would want to sleep in the bunkbeds. Trust me, this is not an issue with me. I just think that with the boys being a little older, dh would like for us to have a little more privacy That is the last thing that is on my mind while in Disney lol
