Why? what happened????

 

[srauchbauer]

Why? what happened????

nothing happened that I can think of I just can't get excited about plannning so no planning means I am stressed about the trip. I think I am just so overwhelmed that I can't think straight.

check your itinerary's from your airlines , Mine is saying that mine might be impacted by a schedule change i can change my flight now.

wow, that is good to know. I just saw on Air Tran's website the same thing. You can change with no fees or fare changes!

is anyone going during valentines? I decided I was going to do a little gift basket for the kids. So I went to the disney store online and they had buy one get one plush.

Anyone else doing something like this?

ok first BREATHE!!!! - Second, you are going to Disney!!! THe happiest place on earth...will you do everything? no, will you see everything? no...will you STILL be able to make happy memories and enjoy yourself - YES YES YES...whatever you have forgotten or didnt do won't matter! RELAX and appreciate the magic -


there did that work???

 

[Marlynmik]

We will be there for valentine's day and I hadn't thought of doing anything special. That's a great idea though

And I'm also getting a bit bummed/stressed about the weather. There's a huge dip in the temps in WDW the day we arrive. I sure hope that changes. But I'll take that if it means no snow storms/delays on the way!!

I know what you mean about losing the mojo You plan for so long and it's almost like the novelty wears off and you're just left with stress. BUT Chris is totally right!!!!

Whoooohoooo!!

Going feb 11-21....as usual!!!1

can't wait!!!

Sooo jealous. We're going 11th-17th. Quickly realizing while figuring out the itinerary that 5 days just isn't enough! Maybe I'll see you in the parks!

We fly out of Detroit on the 3rd, so I'm hoping that it is all cleared away at that point. We drive over to stay over night at Detroit on Wednesday so I really hope it just decides to pass us all by.

We fly out of Detroit on the 3rd as well, though we will be driving to the airport that morning instead of staying over since we don't live all that far away. Really hoping that things are cleared enough by Thursday that we can make it without problems. Safe/uneventful travels to all who are leaving this week!

its just DH and I, so I was planning on having flowers delivered to the room while we are out at the park(s).

Other than that.. this trip is our Valentines Gift to each other. Just knowning that we get 7 days away, no family or kids, just us.

I have a question. I've read they give you a special pin or something for your first time to WDW. We are at MK the first day and I'm told you can get this at town hall. Is this true? Anybody else done this? What do they give you? Do you just go up and say, hey, this is my first time here? My first time was in 1984 i think but I want to suprise DBF with doing this when we first get there. I'd love for CM's to call attention to it being his first time while we are there.

And good luck to everyone flying out tomorrow and the next day! I'll be thinking about you. Pixie dust over you all!

Yes, just go in and tell them it's his first trip! It's just like a bday button...but very cute!

We got ours at the hotel check in desk... then we didn't have to wait in another line for the buttons

What time do you fly out? We fly out at 8am with Delta that would be cool if we are on the same flight, once we arrive we are staying at Pop.

Oh that's a good idea! I'd much rather get it before we get to the park.

....on hold now with Disney who is on hold with Delta! Finger and toes crossed, sprinkled with pixie dust and wishing upon a star that the airlines cooperate and let us fly out early

Edited: we are leaving tomorrow morning at 7:25 instead! Disney was so helpful and accomadating!!
I have to go get packing!!! Everyone travel safe - I will be thinking of you all that are traveling!!!

We're going over Valentine's Day!!

I am bringing cute Valentine's day candy dishes and filling them with candy and Valentine's day window decorations (for all 3 rooms). That's about it though, my kids are 11 and 8, my niece and nephews are 9, so they are not much into stuffed animals anymore, but a very cute idea for your little one!
