Yep, we're actually went w/out the kids!

[LISAMWDW]

You know, even though I've lived in Central Florida for 17 years, I have never ever been to Gatorland! Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

I think your itinerary sounds fun! Except for the golf...but then I'm not much of a golfer. My dad, brother, and my mom's parents love it though. To each their own!

I'll let you know what we think! My DH is so excited about the gators! He's like a little boy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Your plan looks good but I can't believe we won't be at any of the same places. No wait a minute we will both be at EPCOT at dinner time on 9/2.I will look for you!!

Thanks for the birthday wish! My family got me a gift card for a facial and massage! I think I'll use it after our vacation to recuperate!

I'll look for you on the 2nd too!

Mmmmmm...LeCellier...one of our favorites!!!

I like your "Rambo" approach to fireworks! LOL!!!!

I really can't wait to hear about your experience w/out kids. I can't imagine taking it at a different pace, doing what you want, when you want!

Oooh, happy belated birthday, Lisa!!! Hope you had a great day!!!!

 

[LISAMWDW]

klbest, thank you!!!!!

It'll be so nice to go at our own pace! We can go commando style or just chill by the pool w/out hearing, can we go now? can we go now? hehe

 

[TheLastPrincess]

Great Pre-TR!! And I am so fully in agreement with you....you don't need kids to enjoy WDW! Although they do "enhance" the experience, so I hear. Maybe my DH will have something to say about that after he takes ME!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Thanks for stopping by TheLastPrincess! Great name btw!

Thank you! I'll definitely take some pictures of CR! I'm so excited to stay there!

Here's a shirt I ordered online! It was delivered yesterday!!!!!
I was so excited to receive it as I ordered it from a website that you can pick the shirt, pick your character and pick a phase! It was so much fun. I'm worried it could be addicting though!

I have 13 days to go!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting so excited! I created this very cool itinerary on excel! I'll take a picture and post it! I'm usually not that creative but I think it's pretty cool! My DH will think I have too much time on my hands when he sees it! hehe

 

[dismom9761]

That shirt is too cute.

I would love to see the itinerary in excel.

13 days!!!!

That shirt is so cute! Great color to go with a Florida tan, too! I've heard of that website before but I can't think of the name....doesn't it start with a "Z"?

12 days!!! Have you started packing? OMG, it is going to be so much easier packing for just yourselves instead of an entire family...I hadn't even thought about that part! I get so stressed packing for 5!

 

[punkin413]

love the shirt!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Yeah, the website is zazzle.com. It is so much fun! I love the Pan Man so it was easy for me to decide what I wanted! But I played around for a long time with different designs with different shirts. I also designed a Hanna Montana shirt for my DD-10. She has a birthday next month. She is Hanna crazy!

I need get out our suitcases and start on the packing list this weekend.
It will be so easy to pack this time. I usually end up not packing enough for me as I'm so focused on the kids getting what they need! I pack their outfits in ziploc baggies for a much happier vacation but still it requires alot of effort. But this time, it'll be all about me! I think I've earned it! hehe

 

[Suzerella]

Sounds fun! Happy belated birthday to you.

 

[LISAMWDW]

Thanks for stopping by Suzerella!

 

[dismom9761]

[kindakrazy2]

Happy belated birthday Lisa!

Sounds like an amazing trip you have planned and it is so darn close!

Keep the last minute details coming!

 

[mariacj]

I am excited for you! the t-shirt site has some very cute things!!! I look forward to the rest of your TP.

 

[nyyankeegirl]

Can't wait to hear about your trip!! I'd love to go w/o the kids someday. In fact, I've mentioned to a few girlfriends about taking a girls trip, but they all just think I'm crazy. Apparently they must think Disney is for kids--- ppfftt, what do they know?
I'll be eagerly awaiting your TR!!

Another shopping update! Thursday was my DH's birthday. Unfortunately, he was out of town during his birthday so we celebrated it this weekend. This is what I got him for his birthday:

For our WDW trip of course! I also, naturally had to pick up some new shoes for me too! Monday was my birthday too!

Sunday, I jumped out of bed and did the standard 10 day countdown dance . Well, my DH, laughed at me and actually rolled his eyes! Then he said I love you! Isn't he a brat!

So, we had our neice and nephew spend the night on Saturday night and we had to drop them off home then power wash my grandparents house for them on Sunday. On the way home, we stopped by the grocery store and picked up our snacks and breakfast stuff for our trip! We got a couple of boxes of Pop Tarts (blueberry & strawberry/cream cheese), dried fruit and some ingredients to make our own trail mix (almonds, raisins and m&m's). I'm allergic to peanuts so we make our own. It's very good! It should be enough for the two of us. I'm considering picking up some cheese and cracker packs too. Better too much than not enough!

I have to laminate our itinerary today then I'll take a photo and post it. It's so cool!

We have 9 days to go!
