Well, we've done some more "training" for Disney:

*Watched "Lilo and Stitch", as we had never seen it. We did the Stitch ride last time (against all advice--just to say we'd tried it) and we weren't too crazy about it. We didn't plan to go on it again, but now, after seeing the movie, it makes it tempting....we'll see

*We had to pick up some stuff from a local French bakery for Dug's dad and while we were there, we were hungry. So, what better chance to "practice" for the France booth at Epcot? We devoured a delicious ham and cheese croissant. Which I also plan to do at Epcot France

Still on the Disney Training list:

*We'd like to go see Princess and the Frog before we go, but not looking likely that we'll have time to do so.

*We have the Wii game of Toy Story Mania, so we've got to get a little pre-trip target practice in.

*Dug needs a haircut, but the time crunch he's in the week (work and meetings at night) might force him to get a haircut on Main Street the way it's going.

I've been having random Disney Moments (unrelated to our trip) for the past week. Yesterday's was as I was riding the bus home from work. A truck passed us that had a decal on the back window. A closer look revealed that it was a decal of a family of 6, all wearing mouse ears and Mickey t-shirts!

I think the universe is telling me I must go to Disney Only 3 more days!

The bags are packed. The dog is at Dug's parents. The snow is falling...

We're leaving tonight!

A few more hours of work, then I get to take the train to the airport, meet Dug (who has all our bags), eat some dinner, and hop on the plane. And take a nap, I hope. Gotta rest up for vacation
