I forgot to post a picture of a Christmas present my girls got from one of their great grandparents (Yes, DW and I went to the Disney Store at one of the local outlet malls on Black Friday at Midnight to get these!!)
How exciting, your trip is just around the cornor. I will be getting there the day you leave. All three of your kids are just adorable. I bought the pink suitcase with all the princess's on it for my DD's birthday. I can't wait to hear more about your trip.

Last night I talked to DW and told her that it didn't make any sense to stay Wed night (Feb 29) at a hotel a couple of hours away from WDW since it would cost us at least $80 so I called WDW and added Wed the 29th as our arrival day! The best part is it was only on extra $110 for the night. Now we won't get in until 1am, but when we wake up we are already at WDW instead of a 2 hr ride!!!!
By the way, I think I have the greatest DW in the world!!!!!!!!
Today is the day!!! We are leaving at around 5pm tonight!!! Depends when DW gets off of work!!
Last night DW calls me while coming home from work at 7pm that the battery light just came on in our minivan. I said OK we will have to have them look at 1st thing Thurs. morning in Orlando because I had to be in to work today at 5:30am and she leaves for work at 7am. We decided she would take my car and she would pile all 3 kids and car seats into my car (very tight fit!!) I took the van to work today and it isn't the battery light that is on but the check engine light! It went from being a minor problem to who knows if it is a minor problem or a huge problem!!!! Either way we are going tonight even if I have to rent a vehicle!!!!!! I will find out as soon as possible what is wrong and if we can get it fixed then off to WDW!!!

Oh no about your van... OK - so it could have been worse timing right? You could have had it loaded and on your way to WDW, stuck in traffic.... Trying to find the bright side for you. Lots of pixie dust that it's and easy (cheap) fix and, super glad you have a back up plan to rent something just in case.
Oh no! I'm following along, can't wait to hear about your trip! Hoping the van is ok, and it doesn't affect your trip at all. Fingers crossed! And hoping that you were able to get the camera shipped to your resort!

Ok. Our van needs a new catalytic converter, but they said that it did NOT need to be done right away!!! So we will have to do it when we get back, but otherwise it would have taken all day to fix!
My DW is a physical therapist (actually a doctor of physical therapy! I am so proud of her!!) and she had to finish all of her new patients and the paper work that goes with them so instead of being finished at 5pm she punched out at 7pm!!! We arrived safe and sound at 3am this morning!!! Our DD's both did great until the last half hour. They just wanted to be in a bed. DS was even better!! He didn't wake up until we got here!! Both DD's wanted to see the castle and were jacked up that we were here so they didn't fall asleep until 4am.
DS was on his normal time so he was up at 6:45am. I played with him on the floor and then went outside for a half hour before bringing him back to DW since she has to feed him.
Anyway, it is just way to busy to write a trip report while down here with 3 kids and DW telling me to get off the computer because we are on vacation! I will hopefully get one finished early in the week after we get back! Thanks for all of you who followed my PTR!!!
