The Pursuit of Disney Magic (June 7-14, 2008) ~ UPDATED 9/30 pg. 191

[MRYPPNS]

Remember the old ziploc commercials where they would tip them over and show that nothing leaks out??? We could totally put it to the test!!!
:

It would make it all the way here to New Hampshire and my Lovely <cough cough> mail carrier would pop it!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Check out my ticker! Tomorrow is Disney! Can you believe it??? I don't even think I can wrap my mind around it! In a little over 7 hours my alarm will go off, and we will be on our way!

We are packed. We have run all of our errands. We have even cut the lawn (well, Charles cut the lawn). We are ready.

So, since I will never accept an Academy Award (unless I write that stunning novel which I then get to write into an award-winning screenplay), I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you, my DIS buddies.

Thank you for allowing me into your lives and your TRs/PTRs!
Thank you for reading my PTR even when it was long-winded!
Thank you for reading about my various dilemmas, crises, obsessions, crazed Disney mania (and Indiana Jones )!
Thank you for offering me advice and spurring me on!
Thank you for helping me pass the time until tomorrow!
Thank you for making me laugh and laugh and laugh!
Thank you for loving Disney as much as me! It's so wonderful to know I am not alone!
And most of all, thank you for sharing my excitement with me!!!

So, just in case, you want to know where Anti-Disney Man (I mean Charles), Chelsea, Connor, and I will be in the next eight days, I give you our itinerary:

Saturday, June 7: Arrive at POFQ; dinner at Boma
Sunday, June 8: DHS (secret wish: a picture with Darth Vader -- because I was terrified of him when I was younger and I think it would be so perfect!)
Monday, June 9: Epcot; dinner at Chef Mickey's
Tuesday, June 10: Breakfast at Tusker House, AK, dinner at Yak and Yeti
Wednesday, June 11: MK; dinner at CP
Thursday, June 12: Breakfast and dinner at Boma; AK
Friday, June 13: Epcot; dinner at Teppan Edo
Saturday, June 14: One last park and head home

I hope to catch every single nighttime show and fireworks display and those are the only concrete plans. The rest we will just let magically happen!!!

I want to update one last time tomorrow morning, so I am almost, but not quite gone!

Great, the itin. looks great. Have you seen the pictures of Leia Minnie, Storm Trooper Donald, and Darth Goofy? They're really funny- exspecially Goofy! Your PTR has been nice, I'm glad I was here to read it!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hey CP, I'm off to beddy bye soon, and if I miss you in the morning, I just wanted to say have a great trip with your sweet family. I hope you make some wonderful memories at POFQ and the World, and I can't wait to hear all about them.

Love,
TK

Thank you so much! I'll be thinking of you guys -- especially if I happen to see a certain pirate!!! Or drink anything with rum!!! Or have a Dole Whip!!! Or...oh, you get the picture!!!

Have a magical vacation! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Allyson

Thank you, Allyson! I hope to have some great stories to tell!

It would make it all the way here to New Hampshire and my Lovely <cough cough> mail carrier would pop it!

That would not be cool! Bad mail carrier!!!

I have read about them, but have not seen the pics. I bet they are hysterical!

You've been here since the beginning! Thanks for sticking around!!!

Say hi to me at POFQ if you want to!!!

Safe travels! 'Cause you and me: we're going to WDW!

 

[MRYPPNS]

May the force be with you Sunday!

Have a safe drive and I'll stop by and water the plants and pick up the mail while you are gone

Annette,

Thank you!!! It will be fun to relive everyone's trips, won't it?

And my guess is that we are pretty close neighbors -- at least, by Atlanta standards!!!

See you real soon!

Jackie

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

I hope I'm not too late...

Have a wonderfully magical time Jackie! I wish you safe travels and as much fun as you can handle!

Try to remember every moment so that you can write us a fabulous TR when you return!

 

[winkers]

I'm probably to late......................Have fun!!!

 

[julezdisney]

Oh! I hope you check in before getting in the car! Have a safe trip down and I wish you all such a smooth and memory-filled trip! Don't hurry back--just enjoy every minute and drag it out! It'll kill us, but in the end, we'll be happy cuz that'll translate to page after glorious page of TR!

Happy Travelin' w/the Mouse! He's gonna be so happy to see you!

Nope, not too late -- thank you!

Alright, I am up and in 45 minutes:

WE'RE GOING TO WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!

 

[JaxJags08]

You are probably on the road right now on the way to Disney World! I hope you are already having a great time! Looking forward to hearing about your trip when you get back.

 

[stagemomx3]

Have a great trip Jackie!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

Right about now you're probably heading to dinner at CP. I wish I was heading to dinner at CP.

::sigh::

If only wishing made it so.

 

[julezdisney]

Have you tried the 3D? I have, but it is kinda slow and really hard to get the hang of to navigate. It took 2 or 3 tries before I finally figured how to get a true 90 degree view w/a skyline but it's pretty neat. I had made it a goal to go to every park every day "with" Jackie but I've just been too busy! LOL. Maybe tonight I'll explore more of the Magic Kingdom anyway!
