Time to DOUBLE up!! 2 for 1 Pre-TR!!!!!!! TRIP REPORT HAS STARTED!!!!!!!

[that's nice]

I forgive you for forgetting, since there are oh-so-many wish trips right now. We are being given a vehicle for our week at GKTW, but we asked to extend a week after that. We plan to visit some beaches, Savannah and Charleston so we will definitely need one.

Oh yea... Sorry about that. I am following quite a few PTRs. Just trying to keep them all straight.

Hey Tim

Following you over from Liesa's PTR. I see you're getting ready to take another trip.

You have a lovely family.

Thanks for coming over!!!!!! In 5 days we will be taking our journey! I'm going to try to do a few 'live' updates while I am there.

My goodness....where did the time go? My best friend's boss is leaving tomorrow -- a couple of nights at the AKL, Disney Cruise, and then a couple of nights at the BLT (I still think of a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich every time I type or read that ).

Updates would be wonderful while you are there. With pics I hope.

BLT!!! Sounds yummy!!!

My 'live' updates will probably be in the evening when we get back from the parks. I don't have a super duper phone....yet!

Cool! Live updates are always fun. Now in the era of smart phones, it sure is easier to do them too.

LOL The only problem is I have a 'dumb' phone.

I'll probably post a quick update at night since I'll have internet at the house.

I only got mine a couple of months ago. Just what I needed - to be able to check email, Crackbook, and the Dis even when I'm not on the computer.

I'll have to check back and see where you're staying.

Here is the Florida forecast.... That is as far out as I can get... There seems to be a slight warming trend. Obviously this is so far out... still trying to figure out what exactly to pack. I don't want to pack 5 sweatshirts if I don't have to.

Bradenton-
3/3 (W)- Mostly Sunny H-63 L-46
3/4 (T)- Sunny H-65 L-50
3/5 (F)- Sunny H-68 L-50

Orlando-
3/6 (S)- Party Cloudy H-72 L-54
3/7 (S)- Showers H-75 L-55

I trust a 10 day forecast as far as I can throw the meteorologist that guessed...sorry, I mean forecasted it.
I like to save my packing until the last minute - and it drives my wife crazy. But it's got to be better than the mid 20's we've been having here.

I was thinking about getting an iPhone but them my DW would want one too. Plus some of my friends have them and they have gone through so many due to broken screens and other 'stuff' that I don't think I want one anymore. We are just trying to decide what we want and if we are going to stay with Sprint.

LOL So true!!!! They have no idea what they are talking about. I think the more technology they have the worse they are.

I want to be packed by Sunday night.. which sounds good in theory but probably won't happen. I'm usually a last minute type of guy but I'm sure my DW will throw the fact that I left our tickets home last trip in my face if I'm not packed by then. LOLOL

What day you arriving? What parks you hitting?

 

[AlohaAnnie]

It is almost time for your trip! So exciting! I can't wait to check it out!

We ended up going with Samsung Mythics because we were able to get a great deal. The iPhones are so expensive unless your contract is up (we're already with AT & T). The main thing that I like is that now I can text with a real keyboard instead of having to press 1 three times to get the letter c to come up. Not that I text much anyway. Heck - I don't really need my phone for a phone because no one calls me.

I looked over a few pages, but not sure if you've posted where you're staying exactly? Is this a private rental house or a place like Windsor Hills? We rented a townhouse at WH during our 2nd trip and absolutely loved it. The commute was super quick and easy.

The weather forecast looks perfect in my opinion. I don't like the heat so we go early in the year. Hope it turns out nice for you.

Personally, I'd let MEL pack the tickets.

Our contract with Sprint isn't up for 11 more months so we either have to stay and upgrade or wait till our time is up. We will figure something out when we get back for vaca.

We leave the 3rd flying to Tampa then driving to Bradenton to stay with DWs grandparents till Saturday. Saturday at noon we drive to check into a rental house in Windsor Palms that we are sharing with our friends who are driving down from Indiana. (not as nice as Windsor Hills but still nice) Check out of the house Sunday 3/14 and check into CBR. Check out of CBR on Tuesday and fly home. Whew. 2 weeks just like that! LOL

HEY!!!!!!

We leave Wisconsin on Thursday afternoon (the 4th) We should be down to Lakeland on Friday afternoon. Saturday we are probably hanging around over there. I think FIL and I are golfing on Sunday and then we check into AKV to burn off one night's worth of DVC points.
MK on Monday (probably hoping over to DHS later)
Epcot on Tuesday (lunch at Le Cellier)
Not sure about the rest of the week. Probably one more day at a park. I do know we're skipping AK this trip.
Packing back up and driving home either Friday or Saturday.

Sounds fun!!!!

Looks like Monday is the day to meet up....

We ate at Le Cellier last March and loved it. I got the filet and it was 'Da Bomb!' (and I eat filet quite often)

I usually don't eat steak when I go out to restaurants. I like to get things that I can't (or don't want) to cook at home. I'm pretty sure I'll be making an exception on Tuesday.
