so what dyou reckon? Is this too much for the littlies - or not enough??!!

main thing is the characters I think, they're just going nuts about meeting the "real" Buzz, Woody, Mickey etc etc

kids case already packed - according to hubby I have officially hit mad tart status.

Why do they - the inferior sex - complain and then witter on about how obsessively planned and organised we have been in getting this major vaca together, and then once the thing is over and we're home then say how easy it was, how everything fell into place, nothing went wrong .....

WELL DDUUUUUUHH! just so you can waltz onto the plane with all your pants and socks neatly packed, your days all organised for you ..... is why I went round the bend organising this thing for the last 6 months

I think its all reaching crisis point

I may well kill kim before the day is out

but then I need his income to pay for this - dammit!

well he can come ..... but I refuse to do his packing, he'll have to do his own

which means he'll go on a 3 week vaca with 2 pairs of shorts, 4 t'shirts and not much else

men .... pah!

Glad to hear you all are ok from Dean.

Know exactly what you mean about the school and early rising thing. I am not, nor ever have been, an early bird. More of a night owl myself if I had the option.

The itinerary looks good. Wish I were going back again sooner than I am. Oh well, I will have to live vicariously through all these pre-trip reports. Looking forward to more.

How cool you are going to the Atlantis too...I want to go there...

Your schedule looks great...we love WCC and CP...we have done all 3 meals at CP and they were all great.

What is up with your DH's back? I have 2 herniated discs in mine and it is miserable...used a scooter last trip to Disney...walking is a nightmare...nothing they can do...we tried injections and therapy nothing worked. Hope is gets better.

Post some pics soon! Hope they have a good first day of school--it took me a week to start getting up earlier and then I was still groggy today after the Labor Day weekend.
Hope his back is better. I sent my DH off to Italy on Sun with a hurting back--I did schedule him a massage on Sat and found some Flexerils for the trip so hope he's ok.

he LOVES his school! this bodes well for the future I hope .... alhtough right now he seems to spend alot of the day building space rockets!

yup its his discs too - since he slipped one when he was 17 and he has Osgood Schlatters disease which he has in his back as well as his knees.

basically he's knackered - lucky his life insurance is up to date the poor old boy LOL!!

Huh hum this is the DIS itinerarys are never boring

I may well kill kim before the day is out

That sure is a lot of food, we were always stuffed on our trip and we shared a lot of food, also in CL you get food too don't you?

Does that affect his golf?
