THREE WEEKS TO GO. I am so excited.

Today I checked the crowd calendar from the Unofficial guide and it changed...not for the better. Everyday went up by 2 numbers. It is on a scale 1-10. 10 Being the worse. So my 2 and 4 days went to a 4 and 6 day. Time to make an updated plan. Here we go....

Dec 15, AK in the morning. SIL arrives and we go to WIlderness Lodge for lunch at Wispering Canyon. Then off to HS for the Osbornne lights.
Dec 16- Start at AK or Epcot. 515 reservations at Ohana's cool1:) then off to MK
Dec 17th is still the off day. No change.

We still have 2 more days to do on the 18th and 19th. I am not planning a thing. We should have hit the rides we wanted on the first 2 days and then go back to the parks and hit the less crowded stuff. I love Park hopping for this reason.

I also downloaded the Line App from the Unofficial guide's web site. It tells you how long the lines are, fast pass return times and live updates. And got some cheap glow sticks from the dollar store. I still haven't found my solar lights to adorn my golf cart.

6 days and counting......

Not much more to plan. I checked the crowd calendar again, and no change since last time. I am keeping the plan to do everything we can the first 2 days and then just relax the last days.

Ok. This is the hard part. PACKING IN DECEMBER. The boys can wear shorts anytime. But, me, no way. I don't like to be cold and I don't like to have pants on when it is warm. No I dug up some capris. There are not my favorite thing to wear. They cut me off at the ankles and I swear I look like my mom in them. But a girls has to do what a girl has to do

I am also struggling with a sinus infection. And with my nerve pain.....ouch. So my energy level is completely zapped. I am praying that I start feeling a little better before we go. I got one of those Z-pacs from the Dr. But they never work. It is like pretent meds for me. Hope they work this time!!!!

Next report will be the packing list and a goodbye.........

Born- That was last year on the fishing excursion thru Disney. He caught just a few. DH caught just a few. Not enough to really make him want to do that excursion again. He has caught more on Lake Toho. But he will probably change his mind once he gets there. Or sneak a line in by the fishing dock about the time they dump their leftovers.
