Cute countdown calendar!
When does school end for you? We're not done until June 25

Thanks! Last day for students is the 9th, for me the 10th. .... 25th, YIKES!!! Luke and Lauren are done on the 4th, so jealous.

Only 19 days??? That's like almost two and a half weeks!!! Hurray!!!

Lauren and you did a great job on the calendar!

17 now!!!! WOO HOO!!!! Thanks!

Very cute calendar! Can't believe it is coming up so fast! It really will be here before you know it!

Thanks, it was fun to make. 17 days now, can't wait!

The calendar looks great as always!!!! Tell Miss Lauren she did a FABULOUS job!!!! I am sure it feels a little weird that it is so small......compared to some of the others in the past!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!?!?! I am sure you all are getting so excited and can't believe how close it really is! Compared to last year's 18 day trip, do you think this trip will feel too short to you all?

I just noticed when looking at the picture that Lauren and Megan have the same Tinkerbell backpack for school......these girlies have SO much in common!

Thanks, I will tell her : ) Yes, it is small, FINE BY ME : ) No, I don't think it will feel short for Tim and I because we both did short weekend getaways and squeezed so much into those trips that this will seem longer for us, but for the kids........ they will probaby want more for sure , but don't kids always. Too cute about the backpack

Great job on the calendar! Lauren did a great job.

Thank you for posting the packing list. It will be a big help I am sure.

Erika

Thanks and your welcome! : )

Yay! You're in the teens!!!!

17 today, WOOHOO!!!!

If you were to ask the kids:
Luke: Chef Mickey's
Lauren: Akershus at Norway.
Not a huge fan of the castle, so overpriced, if you are in it for Princesses we love Akershus you see em' all, or 1900 Park Fare for Cindy and her sisters and Prince Charming, GREAT food!
I'm not a fan of Chef Mickey's food but for the character interaction it is good. We also LOVE OHana's breakfast (I'd pick that over Chef Mickey's any day), great food and Mickey's there and character interaction.
Very cool about the possible November trip!!!

Hey, I finally got to hear your review on the podcast. Loved it! You sound so different from what I expected, though. Not really sure what I expected...

 

[timandlesley]

We are so close I can TASTE IT!!!!! Luke tore off the number 13 today revealing we only have TWELVE DAYS until we are on the road headed to Orlando Part of me is SO excited and the other part is in a panic of how much we have to do between now and then.
I got to work today. I forwarded Tim my packing list so he can start working on it while I'm working (since I teach until June 10th, YUCK!!)
I forwarded him the addresses of the hotel in Georgia, Nick Hotel and Buena Vista Suites so he could put them in the GPS.
I did a VERY detailed budget and figured out how much cash I need to get out and how many of each denomination I need. I plan on putting the budgeted money into an envelope with the date on each one (with a notecard of our ressies and dining credits we will be using each day) into each envelope. As Tim said, we can use the money we don't use in one envelope as "rollover" money as we go along. It will help me to stay on budget having the money physically in envelopes. Do you agree?
We officially have ordered tickets for Blue Man Group, we are going on my birthday in the PONCHO section!!! (second row, can't wait!!!)
I realized today I could view our extended forecast on accuweather.com, I'm happy that so far it looks like high's are in the low 90's, that would be the coolest we've had in June, we shall see if that stands

5 more days of school, 12 days to Disney

Interesting............ hopefully it's a good "different" : )

 

[Trentmom]

Under 2 weeks, so exciting


I think your idea of rolling over extra money into other envelopes day by day is great idea

 

[J.C.&ALI'SMOM]

Oh girl! I am excited for this trip and I'm not going!!! I saw the pics of the countdown on Facebook and had to come and say "Hi!". Keep us up to date please
