[PrincessasMommy]

I am DYING here!!!

We have kept the secret since January 16th!!!

We are telling in 2 days, when we have cake for our oldest's 12th birthday on Friday night!!

We leave Saturday morning!!!​

I want to tell so bad....but I can't now....it's sooooo close.....so I post here instead!!!

I am even all packed - our oldest thinks I am a FREAK and am getting suitcases out for my February cruise!!

Here's my KOTS thread....

DOING THE 3 DAY DANCE!!!

 

[KKB]

ME TOO!!!
Well, we head to Omaha Saturday cuz of our 5:45 AM flight
The weather is looking very cooperative! High of about 85 daily w/ only 1 day w/ a chance of showers...though it has changed slightly each day! YIPPEE!
(and I had HOPED to have a cruise booked for next Oct on RCI by now, but grad classes have that on hold for now...)
I'm gonna need another trip to plan once we get back!!!

I TRIED to keep it a secret (also booked in Jan..)...I lasted until March or so...but we told them that we were THINKING about it, and that we weren't going to book until the last minute in case they weren't good---and let me tell you, DS7 did NOT look like he was going for awhile!)

Where are you staying?

 

[PrincessasMommy]

SO EXCITING!!! Your son must be dancing around the house!!

We are staying off-site at Windsor Hills! We aren't hotel people, well, we used to be, but with 4 kids ages 4 months to 12 years we like everyone to have their own space! It's a gated resort...

Are you onsite???

The weather looks amazing (well, I am in Canada so we think anything above 70 is amazing ) but it does show chance of rain on our MK day - can't change as we booked CRT - but we were rained on in MK on our 2005 trip too and it worked to our advantage - tons of people went home!! We just walked on rides - it was awesome!!

We leave Saturday morning!!!​

We leave Saturday morning to!

What a reaction your kids are going to have tomorrow! How exciting! We tried to keep it a secret but DH couldn't bear it!

 

[penguincrazie]

We leave saturday morning too! 6:30am flight, have to wake up at 3am

I read your other thread about the surprise, so exciting! DH and I once surprised our 2 nieces and brought them on their first (and only) WDW trip since thier parents couldn't afford it. It was so great!

leaving saturday morning as well

 

[PrincessasMommy]

How excited are you all??

I can't get off these boards because I don't know what to do with myself!!

I have been totally packed for a week and I have my oldest so intrigued about her gift....she asked questions and I just told her "it's something you asked for and Daddy & I bought online back in January!"

I am feeling the magic with less than 24 hours until the big reveal!!!!

WE ARE LEAVING TO ON SATURDAY MORNING AS WELL
TORONTO AIRPORT HERE WE COME TO WDW

 

[KLukas]

Joining the Saturday morning club 9:00 flight... two families, DD4 & DD3's first trips to WDW - we Mom's have been planning this trip for over a year and are so excited we can't stay off the boards.

It is the last day before our quarter break, and it has rained for the last week, BUT it is finally sunny....kids will still be zooey! A few tests today, a few fun activities...actually, it will be busy so should go fast. DH & I have a friend's 40th birthday tonight. I was wishing we were leaving tomorrow, but it is nice to just have washing & packing to do tomorrow. I told DH & kids there job was to clean the house!

All the traveling we do, I kinda have this packing thing to a science. I always have travel toiletries in their tote; I have been collecting things specific for the trip in one area. We have needed summer clothes until just the last week or 2...SO it will also be a good opportunity to put the clothes we don't take to WDW away, and pull out warmer clothes. Highs in 50s when we get back!

That Orlando weather report keeps changing!!! 2 days ago there was only 1 day w/ a chance of rain! Now it's most everyday...wondering if we should pick up a few more dollar store ponchos....BUT it has been HOT in Orlando, and it looks nicer while we are there...highs 80-85. (hey, it is 80 there at 9:30AM now!!! )

Well, better go surf the DIS...got 20 min. until students arrive...

PS We are at POP, too, Kelly! I really wanted AKL, and we got 40% off...but w/ 6 of us we need 2 rooms....I just couldn't stomach $1K more for a room!

 

[Us3]

How fun! Ok, but you know the kids will not sleep AT ALL Friday night right?? hahaha...either will you! Have a great time! Dh and I are there next week!

 

[KKB]

Now there is a chance of showers EVERYDAY (how can it go from just one day to all of them overnight??!!) AND those highs in the 70s are gone from this morning Figures! Oh, well, mid to low 80s is better than high 80s to low 90s!! Guess I better pick up some more ponchos....

We have to get the kids up at 3:30 Sunday AM to get to airport...hoping to keep them up a tad late tonight/get up early tomorrow so they are pooped & in bed by 8 tomorrow night so they get some sleep...adrenaline is gonna have them going, though. Yep, dinner is the ONLY thing on our agenda Sunday after arrival! (Ohanas) Then we will be refreshed & ready to hit MGM early Monday!

I HATE that we have AK on Saturday (DS7 is an animal NUT), but we have ADRs at EPCOT T/T so makes sense to go there those days; ADRs at DTD Friday, so DisneyQuest that day; MGM is not recommended Saturday; MK on a Saturday doesn't seem wise...so AK won! MK has an LOEMH Weds we wanna hit, so MGM wins for Monday. Actually, the kids are REALLY fired up for RnR, Star Tours and ToT, so it is a good one to start with. I am SO wishing that we were flying out tomorrow so we had an extra day....WHAT was I thinking???!!! It sure seems like there was a reason, but it escapes me now!

Best news (NOT!)...have hardly worked out since school started & I SOO noticed when I pulled on my jeans this AM! I haven't gained weight, but clearly there has been some shifting going on! Lot of walking next week, but DDP...I'm gonna stick w/ salads for lunch & appetizer selection! I'm gonna need to be sure to eat produce anyway! Didn't realize how those sit ups helped keep this tummy from pouching more! (no skinny mini here..."typical" size 14 gal!) SO wrong to go INTO WDW & DDP at fighting weight! Guess I shouldn't complain about the warm weather...I have no appetite when it is hot! (can ya tell it has cooled down here recently...that plus PMS )

Sorry, I babble....I can't focus on work anyway. I have a couple of things to do after school...students will be back from Art in 10...so I'm running out of time to be here----yeah, I know, I shouldn't be....but I can't help myself!)
