Hi, Dave! I missed your post this morning. I was putting together a list for my DSIL; she'll be watching one of our dogs and our house while we're gone. Hey, Craig stopped by during lunch today at work. He's thinking another trip in a couple years.

Poop: You're half way! Hang in there!

Our DS checked-in from the Navy a few hours ago so we're all here. We're packing now.
1 day, 22 hours and 35 minutes 'til we land at MCO!

I wish everyone going down a safe trip. Hopefully, we'll see one or two of you there, although I'm not sure how we would recognize each other. Our photo is posted a bunch of pages back; maybe I'll put it here again if I can figure out how.1 day, 12 hours and 45 minutes 'til we land at MCO!

We are here waiting on all of you guys to get here!! I also had the same thought. how are we goingto know when we see each other if we do???? We had a GREAT day at Magic Kingdom yesterday VERY low crowds walked onto everything and perfect weather...then we bounced over to HS to catch Fantasmic for the first time! Today is a poool day!

 

[MiJo]

Thanks for the report, Steve, and we're glad to hear you're having a good time! We're hoping crowds are down starting Monday. Have a good day at the pool!

Hey, Steve ~ Something like this might work. It prints out on 4 x 6 photo paper and will fit into a lanyard "pocket" when the borders are trimmed off. It looks better when it's smaller.
I did it using Word.

 

[GoHerd1028]

IF I had a printer I would print that off and have one on me and my backpack!!! Oh well...I wish we had all thought of this before we left home LOL. We will be in MK Monday am and have reservations at Crystal Palace for 10:10am then I think we will park hop to one of the others.

I think I might have over did it with the kids yesterday Lauren wilted by the pool and is asleep still. Ethan is like the energizer bunny. He is afraid me might miss something if he falls asleep

Steve: We will be in EPCOT on Monday, all day, although we may have dinner at Beaches 'N Cream. MK is Tuesday for us. I"m going to check-in online for our flight down now. That means, 24 hours 'til we board the plane in Philly!

Let me know the info for anyone who wants added to the list...PM might be best in case I overlook the post to the thread...also let me know dates and reosrts to the ones who have blank spots on theirs.

Looks like That's Nice arrived today at Pop so that is two of us here so far..Mike will be here tomorrow and Dave will be here on Wednesday and Barry will be in the area starting on Saturday.

 

[GoHerd1028]

I forgot to mention that I had a Pinapple float with the dole whip ice cream yesterday in honor of Trennr. I was temped to get the pinapple on a stock thing but decided on the float instead!

Well, since this is a non park day we are headed to dinner at PF Changs I think and I think wife said she needed to swing by Wal Mart for a few things....why is it that you have to go to Wal Mart every day even on vacation. I think it is a communist plot!

She mentioned something about drving to St Augustine tomorrow so we will see how that all shakes out as the evening progresses.

Have a safe trip down Mike, Dave, and Barry! To That's Nice...I hope you are have a great time this week....Next time we are all here at the same time we need to have the signs Mike made ha ha.

My 4y/o was the same way, I considered it a personal victory when on the 5th day without an off day he looked at me at 10:00pm and told me he was really tired.

Well, DD's birthday party went pretty well. We started with 16 kids and ended with 16 kids. It was a great party - until the bees, that is. 5 kids got stung. No major injuries. But it's a nature center, so those were the lucky kids. They got to experience more nature that the rest of us!
Anyway, our attention now turns to our trip. We start driving on Thursday after work. Not sure how long it will take us to make the 20 hour drive. Depends on how tired we are and how we're all feeling. We should arrive at the in-law's place sometime Friday or Saturday. First day in the parks probably won't be until Monday 10/12. For sure in MK on Thursday 10/15 (DD's birthday) and DHS 10/16 (DS's birthday).

Your first day in the parks is our first day home! How sad!

Dave: You have a safe trip, too. Speaking of the warm weather, our son doesn't have any shorts so he'll be wearing jeans. That should help make it easier to find us! We'll be leaving for PHL in about 6 hours. I'll be glad when we're settled in at the airport. I always worry about hitting traffic or getting "lost" when I'm driving to PHL. That's why I like ABE and EWR better but the prices for this trip couldn't compare. I know everything will be fine but I'll still be glad when we're sitting in the Southwest pre-flight waiting area!

Freezin': Have a good trip down! Your first day in the parks will be my first day back to work. That's really sad!

Steve: Maybe we'll see you there! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Today's the day!

Hope everyone is having a great time at the World and Mijo have a safe flight.

FreezinRafiki I'll be curious what you find with traffic / construction as we'll be making the drive from Chicagoland next month.

Have a great Sunday all, and "GO BEARS!!!"
