Your mother
does know that she can't just show up at Disney and get a room doesn't she?
my dad does and he just keeps laughing at her (hence I really don't think he want to go--he wanted to take a road trip when we came back going through TN, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL--she want to come with us) I'll remind her again this afternoon when she is on her way home...they were having my aunts house rekeyed today and put on the market tomorrow! 
I always do all sorts of crazy stuff the closer I get to our trip. I'll buy something and then won't be able to find it. I've even thrown away something in the bottom of a
WalMart bag before. At least you were able to find a replacement lanyard.
I've been looking for Hunter some new Crocs too. I'll probably just go by Academy and get him a pair since I want him to try them on.
Can you pay a little extra for priority mail shipping for the Disney pins?
