YoHo, YoHo, A Mother's Day Trip to the Mouse!

[bouncycat]

No problem, glad to help!! The weather has been and should be beautiful for the next week, I can keep you posted on that at least! 20 days, I'm jealous!! Even tho, I'm not that far behind ya, I'm at 26!! Now it's time for all the last minute frantic shopping, and packing and double checking of the lists....etc. I'll start going thru that after this next payday that's next week! But, any local questions, feel free to ask, I'm not that far from orlando, and we get orlando tv stations. Just not sure how the crowds are now. Hopefully back to normal!! Anyways, happy packing, and happy organizing, the next 20 days will go sooooo slow!!! Only cause you want them to go quick LOL

 

[MaryAz]

Yay for 20 days!!
We are also thinking of doing online check in. Have fun doing some more shopping!

OH BOY WE ARE AT 19 DAYS TO GO TODAY AND SUPER EXCITED, THE KIDS WERE FINALLY AND I REPEAT FINALLY EXCITED TODAY WHEN WE CHANGED IT TO 19. I THINK THEY REALIZE NOW THAT WE ARE REALLY CLOSE TO GOING! I JUST KEEP THINKING THAT GOING FROM THE 30s TO THE 20s WENT BY SO QUICK AND THE NOW WE'RE IN THE TEENS, THE NEXT TIME THAT FIRST NUMBER CHANGES WE'LL BE AT 9!!! HOLY COW!!!


I had fun at the market today. I went to do my normal food shopping but starting picking up snacks for the hotel. We'll be on the QDP and will have 2 snack credits each per day. So I figured every morning we'll use one of the snack credits on something from the bakery, like a muffin or something like that! But I know my kids will not hold out well getting up and ready and out to the Disney buses without something little in their stomachs! So I'm going to fill one of our small suitcases up with nice little snacks. Not to mention Emily is such a picky eater, I want to have back up in case we're back at the room at 10pm and she is starving because she only picked at her meals that day! I can see that happening for sure!

I typed up a letter to the school the other day letting them know when the girls would be out for the trip. Can't wait to see what the principle says The last time we went away during the school year Emily was in K, and the principle (which was a different woman at the time) was trying to make me feel terrible for taking her out and that was only for 4 school days This time it will be for 7!!!! I'll let you know how that goes. I'm probably going to give it to her today when I go pick Sam up at preschool in a half hour!


Well here's some bananas for me for being at only 19 days away

 

[wlwilliams9]

Yay! 19 days! I'm doing the 2 week dance!

I don't think you will need pants if you have your sweatshirts. I never pack pants, well except a pair of capri pants!

My shopping list keeps getting longer and longer too! We'll probably over think and over pack and still forget something!!

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Ok, maybe I will not even pack pants then, I do have capris packed for us, so if it gets a little chilly a sweatshirt sounds sufficient!

AND GUESS WHAT, I GOT MORE MICKEY MAIL FROM MY SECOND ROOM. I'M STILL WAITING ON THE MAGICAL EXPRESS TAGS FOR THE SECOND ROOM THOUGH, BUT I WAS EXCITED TO GET THIS PACKAGE IN THE MAIL TODAY!!

I love getting mail about my trip. WDW does a good job keeping you excited!! As if we need help with the DIS

YAY

THE TEENS I agree that you won't need long pants. It was 85 here today and we usually run about the same as Orlando. It is only going to get hotter and more humid. It isn't so much the temp that gets ya, it is the fact that the humidity makes it sticky and the lighter the clothing the better.

So I went to the store today to buy Lizzie a new back pack because her zipper broke, and I came out with some goodies for the trip, and I don't mean more snacks. I went to look at tanktops, I got myself 2, and then decided I would check out the dresses, and I bought myself a dress and some bracelets. Sam was like "where is my size" They are too used to me buying and buying for them, I never go shopping for myself. Sam has more outfits then everyone put together, especially after her bday. I did grab Emily another pair of jean shorts and Lizzie another cute outfit. It was needed, I swear!!! I think I am all set for clothes now Manny needs some tank tops, but those will not be as fun to buy. Oh and I did pick up a few more snacks for the hotel.

I'll post a pic of my dress tomorrow, I'm excited about that! It's brown and peach colored. I love it and am thinking about what day i'm going to wear it!

And thanks for the clothing tip, I don't think i'll bother with taking up suitcase space with pants then, i'm sure capris will be fine if it's chilly one night. It's not like it's going to drop to 40, like it is here right now. I just got in from work and i'm COLD!!!! 19 more days, 19 more days, and we'll all be in the Florida sun!!!

The great thing about tank tops and shorts, they never go out of style. Now you don't have to worry about buying anything else for the summer. And by homeschooling the kids they will not have to have new school clothes, they can wear the shorts at home during the school year.

I can't wait to see the pics! The dress sounds very pretty. I love peach and brown together.

I can't remember if I have already asked you or not, but are you coming to the DIS meet at Epcot Sunday May 17th?

Well I really wanted to go to the Meet at Epcot, but that sunday is the only day that MK has EMH nights during our week, and we are so looking forward to staying in the park til midnight. I don't have park hoppers, but I am really bummed, I really wanted to go! But I don't want to miss out on EMH! I have thought about it so many times!

So my neighbors just pulled out last night in a rented RV, it was awesome, I am so jealous. I was at work, but Manny loved it. They are driving to Disney, and parking it at the campground there. They are still on the road, they should be in Disney late tonight! They left at about 6pm last night!
I would love to drive to Disney in an RV, Manny too! We're going to have to look into that for next year, but I think they are really expensive! When they get home in 10 days I will find out about gas too

(18 MORE DAYS)

Unfortunately I have to get my shorts out of the suitcase for now though, It is going to be 80 here tomorrow and 84 on Sunday, I don't know where that came from. Monday is going to be 81!
It will be nice tomorrow for the girls baseball parade

 

[ladybugmom]

18 more days!! Whoo hoo!!

 

[magicaldisney11]

HI!!! Jumped over from my pre-trip to say HEY IT"S ALMOST TIME FOR US TO BE WITH THE MOUSE!!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hope you're having a good weekend. Wish you were going to make it to the DIS meet. It is going to be fun. There are going to be lots of kids around ours' ages. I understand why you can't make it. We made the decision to add the park hopper after all. I"m not doing it for 6 tickets though so it's a little more economical for us.

We have park hoppers and we plan on being at MK for EMH that night. Maybe we could set up a meet somewhere at the MK for EMH. That would be fun because the park is not as crowded then.

So, we had a wonderful day. It was 82 and sunny, the girls had their baseball parade and after the ceremony there was hot dogs and hamburgers, a rock wall, a bounce house, face painting, balloons and tatoos. It was a great day, i'll post our pictures tomorrow.
It's going to be 87 here tomorrow, I cannot believe it! I'm going to take the girls over to this lake by our house to play with their new sand toys!
Only tomorrow I will be wearing sunblock, I have a wicked sunburn on my arms!!! I will be much more prepared for our trip.
But after tomorrow we'll have temps in the low 70s, and 60s. Which is good ,my shorts can go back in the suitcase.

17 MORE DAYS, ACTUALLY IT IS AFTER MIDNIGHT, SO ONLY 16 MORE DAYS!!!

 

[bouncycat]

I can't wait either, wish I could go to the meet....bummer! Ah well. Hopefully I'll be neighbors with Racefan, and won't NEED a meet!! HAHA I think I got 22 days, my calendar is at work, and I got JURY DUTY tomorrow!!!! So, I won't see my calendar until God knows when!! LOL

 

[wlwilliams9]

We've had to bust out the packed shorts too! It's been in the 80s here for the last 3 days. It's supposed to be in the 50s on Tuesday though, back to normal!
