***The Official April 2016 Thread!***

I know there's a small horde of us who are showing up this coming Friday/Saturday. Is anyone else playing the "a week from today I'll be doing x" game with themselves?

I'm TOTALLY playing this game! In fact, a week from right now I will be finishing up what I hope to be an amazing meal at Morimoto and heading over to have a drink at Jock Lindsey's :drinking1

Of course I am playing that game too!!

However, once I'm there I feel like I'm just trying to be mindful, enjoy every minute, and slow time down!

I never got any packing done today. I'll be doing it all Weds and Thurs bc I am working 9am-9pm the next 2 days.

Just arrived yesterday!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so thrilled to have left the cold weather behind me (seriously snow in the DC metro area in April)! I didn't go to the parks yesterday - hung out at the resort - Animal Kingdom Kidani village and did the Wanyama Safari - it was awesome. The weather is perfect. Today - EPCOT flowers and garden festival :) My friend i'm traveling with hasn't been to Disney in over 20 years - she's in for a real treat. Have a great day!
 

5 days out for us and we too had a round of colds go through the house late last week, I think everyone has turned the corner (anybody got a large piece of oak to knock on?). The weather here in Michigan has been about as bad as it ever is this time of year so 5AM Saturday can't get here soon enough!

Enjoy every minute!!!
 
I can't believe we leave in 4 days!! It doesn't feel real. I'm just getting through 2 incredibly busy days at work today and tomorrow and then I'm going to be in full pack and prep mode!
My 7 year old seems to be over the stomach bug, so fingers crossed nobody else in my family gets it!
Weather is cloudy and raw here today (not good weather for the Red Sox home opener), I can not wait for 80s and sunshine!
 
2 weeks to go and my daughter just caught a cold. Here's hoping the rest of us don't get it right before the trip!
 
Count me in on the game
at the time of this post next week ill be on the course playing a peaceful round of golf.

Very nice! This time next week I'll be doing the slow meander-leave through MK to have dinner at Sanaa <3

It's nicer here than it was when I left for work this morning (Or, it was when I left work, there seems to be a thick dark cloud hovering on this side of Wachusett Mtn) but it's definitely not that nice. I feel bad for my parents; they come home from Florida tonight.

Oh no, hope she feels better! And take as much Zicam and Emergen-C as you can to ward it off!

I can feel my Disney brain clicking in. I did my nails last night so that's definitely not helping that every time I look down I see cute little Minnie heads. I also keep getting cravings for Disney food and the "well you can have it next week" game is just making that aspect worse!
 
I have Minnie nails too!! Getting closer!! Finally got DME tags, yippee!!! One more work day!! Here's to everyone in the April 2016 thread getting healthy and staying healthy for our trips. Weather is looking awesome for the 10-14 day forecasts I'm seeing!!
 
We are leaving Friday as soon as I can leave work and I do not have a single thing packed!!! Bought sunscreen yesterday but that is it! I should have taken vacation days before my vacation...LOL. I have a husband who is working 5 hours away this week, he will be home at the last minute and 3 kids to pack for...

I'm a firm believer in the last minute packing! Even when I have time, I still end up doing it at the last min. Lol. Just make sure you have a list and you'll get it done.
 
We are down to 10 days folks!!! We will be single digit dancing tomorrow!! :yay:

Of course, DH, myself, 9 yr old and 15 month old have all come down with awful colds but I am going to think positive and that we are getting it out of our systems now, instead of while we are in Disney, right?

You'll def be better within 10 days - you're right, get it over with now!
 
39 hours from now we will be on the plane!!!

I still haven't packed yet, but I'm doing laundry now. I also ran some errands I needed to get done. I have a pile of snacks and things I've bought for the plane and I have my list. I'm planning to take the luggage down from the attic today and hopefully start my packing tonight.
 
3 more sleeps! My poor daughter got her first black eye yesterday :guilty:. She tripped, fell, and hit her cheekbone on the edge of the plastic seesaw thing on a swingset. Luckily she's fine and doesn't seem bothered by it at all - it is only bruised under her eye and isn't her entire eye. Once I determined that she was ok, my next thought was "but all of our Disney photos will look bad now!" I know...I know...I'm terrible! I think I will have my sister put some concealer on it so it isn't that bad hahaha :rolleyes1
