UnOfficial March 2012 Trip Planners Tread-DIS Meet 3/8 Info Pg 1

[DMGeurts]

I'll give you a hint - it's not sitting on my couch watching basketball We will be somewhere between MN and FL getting our Goofy Woofy trip underway. Our official trip dates are March 23-April 1st. DD 8 and her BFF 7 have it all counted down.

I've been reading about everyone packing, and I like to think of myself as mentally packed I think DD's BFF is totally packed - but as she said, she doesn't need shorts, tshirts, tanktops and sandals in MN right now anyway! Point Taken

So please add one more MN Spring Breaker to your March list!

Lisa - where in MN are you? My mental suitcases are bursting a the seams!

Seriously need this to be a speedy four weeks!

We are in the Cities - South of the River. You guys? It better be a speedy 4 weeks, I don't think DD will stand it if it's not!!

I am south of the river, as well.

I think there may be a few of us around here - I'm a EV Lighning fan - who do you cheer for??

 

[LittleMissMickey]

Also SOTR! A PL Laker fan here! (by proximity only-no kids)

Are we all taking WDW by storm during the same week?

 

[Luvmepluto]

okay.....so the weather is calling for some rain, nights in the high 50's and low 60's and highs in the high 70's and low 80's. Ugh...I will have to pack for all kinds of weather. Also, they keep extending the park hours...I am worried that it is going to be packed.

 

[Toni1019]

Eeeeek! I already packed my kids suit cases, with shorts!!! I did put 1 pair of pants and 1 sweatshirt in there. We are leaving freezing cold Michigan on friday, so 70 is warm to us!

Rain Rain go away!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, they keep extending the park hours...I am worried that it is going to be packed.

They havent updated hours since around 2/14. The hours really arent that bad for the week we are there. If I saw MK open until 1 am, and EMH until 3 am I would be more worried. Also, they havent added very many additional parades or anything yet, so I think we are still good. Many folks took advantage of free dining and the 1 more day promotion, so I think that is why we are going to see crowds a bit higher than we had all expected. Fingers Crossed though. A bad day at WDW is still better than my best day at the office.

Can't stay off the weather sites....me too! Everyday it changes, weather.com seems to have better weather for us, but accu.weather keeps pushing their rain further to the end of the week....and the rain forecasts are quite low...less than 1/10 in in most cases. Hope for the best. We're bringing a bunch of disposable ponchos. In our case, being prepared for rain usually scares the rain away!

I will sing that with you! It's just my husband and I going. We're going to wear jeans on the plane, bring one more pair of long pants in case the first pair get wet. Extra shoes, of course. Lots of disposable ponchos. A sweatshirt each. Other than that shorts/tees for both and a couple of capris for me.

 

[mom2_3girls]

I just checked the accuweather site for my dates and they only have highs in the 60's! I look at anoter site and highes in the mid 70's to low 80's! I don't leave for 10 days, so I'm hoping things change! I really want the 80's!!!

 

[Toni1019]

I would love 70's, I am leaving a snow storm to go, so anything higher than 30 is warm to us, lol

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Has anyone tried online check-in for today? I have tried several times and it says the system is down. Today is my 10 day mark and I want to check in!!!!!

 

[Beiji]

I think the system is down. I just tried to call and got "All circuits are busy" or something like that.

 

[meandthemouse]

gahh I leave on Saturday and I got this lovely bruise on my right forearm from walking into a machine at the gym. Im such a klutz lol. It looks bad. Anyone know any tricks to rid or fade the bruise fast? I'm so self conscious of it

I certainly hope the crowds are lower than what I expect! Ugh!!

I can't wait to actually get there!

Yes, I am sure the marina is in my area.

For my MN friends here on the Dis... Kieth Marler is predicting an eventful day today... Hope you have the snow blowers all gassed up and ready to go. Let's get the frozen cr@p out of here so none of our flights are delayed.


Sheila: In case you are reading, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and I hope you and your family are doing alright.

D - DH was so right about not cancelling our trip right off the bat as was my first thought 2 weeks ago. Planning and getting ready to go have kept my mind occupied and more or less sane these past two weeks. Not sure how I will be once I am actually at WDW where I know so many things will trigger memories of our past trips with both DS's.

That's when you'll let a tear stream down your face and then turn that memory into a NEW one for your boys! Spread some pixie dust in their name everytime you think about them.
