Hi Alicia,
subbing in; I, too, am from LA, we are driving we normally do it in a straight shot but we are thinking of doing it half and half this year. Anyway, wanted to sub in now I have to go back and catch up...I did make it to the countdown calendar--great idea!
I'll be back...

Connie
OK! all caught up; how awesome you guys mentioned me yesterday

so sweet...I would love to figure out a meet that would be so mcuh fun!
your plans for your days look great! we do plan to spend the 28th at Epcot but I think we were going to skip Illuminations this year and hop over to MK in the evening (since it is our last day there)...but, I do intend on being there for rope drop. I think our paths cross on Monday evening...I plan to do AK and hop over to DHS for EMH that evening
so far my plans are:
Sat hang out at POP, DTD, and resort hop
Sun--MK --all day and night w/a break in the middle at the POP
Mon -- AK (we have ressies w/Donald) hop to DHS for EMH
Tue -- start out at Epcot; hop to DHS around 11 or noon we want to catch Fantasmic that eveing
Wed-- Epcot and hope over to MK in the evening to catch a few rides, Specto & Wishes
BTW: Ashton was 2 last year when we went; I did not use any of the child care centers and I just did things at an easy pace...he did fine with all the rides and characters...it was really a laid back trip last year (as we went during the horrible rain last May).

Connie
happy planning

I'll start pulling things and putting them to the side this week to start packing

I can't believe we are so close!
