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

[lbuzz52]

That's crazy that white plains closed all day. We (work plane,not me) flee onto teterboro Thursday. I think it closed 6 times over the day but never more than an hour. The pilots said it was not fun getting in there.

 

[that's nice]

we had a few low 50s days with wind.......

And you survived!!!! We'll be ok... we are packing for the chilly weather.

Poor girl..I will definately be thinking/prayer for her!

I can't believe how cold it is in FL right now!

It is warming up.... should be nice when you get there!

I can't believe it is two days until you go. How exciting for you, Mel and Juliana. I am so looking forward for your updates and your "trip report." My brother was supposed to come home yesterday but that did not happen. On the last round of blood work they did before they were going to release him, they found something in the kidneys. Now we have to see what that is. Hopefully, this is only a minor setback and nothing serious.***

***Update: I'm picking my brother up after my massage. Turns out the kidney thing was an effect from one of his medications. Thanks everyone here for the prayers.

I remmeber reading Mya's TR-so heartbreaking. I am praying for them.

Hope everything goes well for your flight out. I am crossing my fingers that it warms up.

Kathy- I'm so glad to hear that your brother is out of the hospital. I hope he does make some changes and gets healthier.

This trip felt real today when I was driving home from work. Couple more days!!!!

It is so sad... they can use any and all prayers.

Still watching the weather.... no new weather news about Wednesday yet.

Have a great trip!!!

Thanks!!!!

Have fun Tim! Can't wait to compare trips with you when we're both back!

Went back to check park hours to make sure there hasn't been any changes.

Sunday 3/7 DHS 9-9 Fantasmic @ 7:30 & 9
Monday 3/8 MK 9-8 Spectro @ 7 Wishes @ 8
Tuesday 3/9 AK 9-5
Thursday 3/11 MK 9-8 EMHs 8a-9a
Saturday 3/13 Epcot 9-9 Illuminations @ 9
Monday 3/15 MK 9-12 Spectro 9 & 11 Wishes @10

Sunday 3/7 I can see us leaving DHS around 5 or so. We won't be staying for Fantasmic! and we still haven't seen it yet.

Thursday 3/11 Juliana's Birthday at MK. I think they added the morning EMHs which will hurt us do to increased crowds. But there is nothing I can do about that.. we have the girls BBB appointment in MK at 10:30.

I can't believe the hours for Monday 3/15.. I guess it is going to get really busy. I'm assuming we would hit MK one more time. This is up in the air but we do have an ADR at WCC at 6:15pm. I can't see us staying for Wishes.. it is just too late for Juliana.

Weather Watch-----

Bradenton-
3/3 (W)- Mostly Sunny H-58 L-42
3/4 (T)- Sunny H-59 L-41
3/5 (F)- Sunny H-60 L-41

Orlando-
3/6 (S)- Party Cloudy H-69 L-46
3/7 (S)- Sunny H-69 L-52
3/8 (M)- Sunny H-73 L-54
3/9 (T)- Party Cloudy H-75 L-56

The temps for the first 4 days have dropped by 6-8 degrees. I guess our idea of taking Juliana to the beach is out. But we will have fun spending time with Mel's grandparents.

Still watching the forecasts for a potential storm on Wednesday. They have no idea if it is coming or not. It could be nothing or it could be BIG.... way to narrow it down.

We are basically packed. I need to add a few items to my suitcase (sweatshirts, long pants) I plan on finishing that tomorrow afternoon. I'm getting my camcorder charged and put our TICKETS in my carry-on bag for now. They will be put in Melody's pocketbook on Wednesday morning along with about $250 in Disney gift cards we got for Christmas. Those will come in handy for paying for some meals.

Have fun Tim! Can't wait to compare trips with you when we're both back!

Having fun..... not worried about that. I'm worried about having TOO much fun!!! LOLOL

 

[yinyanggirls]

She can still build sand castles wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. Weird weather in FL lately, I guess. It'll probably be scorching for us in April.

 

[jordanyosh]

2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[All7OfUs]

Your weather looks a bit cool for my taste, and you could still at least go to the beach for her to look for seashells.

Melodys' pocketbook along with the money is a good idea.

Too much fun?? Highly likely.

It has been a rough winter for for Florida..

I guess she could go play but it's not like we aren't a 30 minute drive from the ocean at home. We can take her to the beach here when it is warmer.

2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOT WHOOT!!!!!

True. True. We might HAVE to step out for a bit if we need a break from the g-parents...

I don't care about money... we need the tickets!!!! LOLOL

The question is: which adult is going to be going to a park in the am with a hangover? It is NOT going to be me! (I hope)

 

[onelilspark]

Have a great trip!

 

[maroo]

Woo Hoo!! Not too long now!

I will see you guys on Sunday!!!!!

 

[carissanboys]

We have been to WDW three times and also have never seen Fantasmic! That is high on my list for my January trip.

Fingers crossed that storm ends up being nothing.

 

[All7OfUs]

Wouldn't be me either!! But I wouldnt' drink enough to give me one either! I paid too much for my tickets (just now) to let that happen!!!

And you wouldn't want to miss your Kona breakfast.

You're going to miss a boatload of planning stuff on my thread. man this is crappy timing- postpone a while, ok??

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

Hi Tim!! In case I miss you before leaving I just wanted to wish you guys a safe and happy trip! I hope the weather cooperates with you leaving and it warms up just a tad for you. You remember how hot it was in October so now you guys won't be sweating buckets!!

Have a great time!!!

Happy early birthday to Juliana!!!

I will definitely say a prayer for the sweet little girl and I also have a hard time reading this. Life can be so fragile so we have to enjoy every minute - hence our April trip!

[AlohaAnnie]

So exciting! I would definately give Mel the tickets! I recently read a TR where they forgot to set the alarm and had to get on a later flight! I would have died, so remember the alarm!

Have way too much fun!

 

[that's nice]

Have a great trip!

Thanks! You too.. although I think I'll be back before you leave.

Woo Hoo!! Not too long now!

I will see you guys on Sunday!!!!!

Getting there!!!

Looking forward to seeing you too!!!!

We always thought that Juliana was too young to see it. I think next time we will check it out.

As of now it looks like we will be getting some kind of precipitation on Wednesday... what time it starts and what kind is up in the air. If it could just hold off till we are in the air (8am) that would be awesome!

Everyone will have to be on their best behavior! (yea rite!) Touring with 3 kids hungover isn't my cup of tea.

I WILL NOT MISS KONA!

ERRRRRRR... I guess I could push our trip back till after to get your ADRs.. On second thought. LOLOL
