As Stephanie was saying, I did a lot (100+) of nametags this weekend. I've been slacking and have to get caught up before I leave (I think I'm only a week behind right now).

My printer has been out of ink, so I haven't finished printing all of the graphics for OUR shirts yet. It's on order and should be here in the next couple of days. Can't go to Disney World without matching shirts.

"Can't go to Disney World without matching shirts" -- unless you're my DH, in which case there is no cause on earth powerful enough to get us into matching shirts...LOL. Oh well -- I've tried. Tom, you get two thumbs up in my book for the shirts!

Has anyone checked the MK hours recently? according to the hours on the disney website MK has EMH on July 19th 12am-3am!!!!!!!!!! I also noticed some changes to the HS EMH schedule. Does this mean they are extending the hours because they are expecting higher crowd levels?
im just so excited MK will be open until 3am! how cool is that

Well no matching shirts for us - but just as I had given up on DH and DS were matching ball caps with us ; they gave in. I guess he really does love me after all.

Do not feel alone I can't get Janet or the kids to agree to match shirt either. Oh Well I will be at Disney and that is all that really matters!!!! Lois

Wow, I can't believe I didn't hear about the Monorail. I've been so busy the past couple days I completely missed it. How sad.

They're taking the long way to Orlando (via Buffalo, NY & Harrisburg, PA). I get the house alone for 8 fabulous days & nights.

I might miss them a little.

Talked with my daughter yesterday about picking up the kids clothes today. We even talked about making sure they had sruff to wear tomorrow. Then today she reams me after reading an e-mail I sent to her because she said she had no idea I was going to pick up their stuff. She will not allow me to pick the kids up until 8PM tomorrow because she wants to say goodby to them but yet she scheduled an appointment to have her hair colored after work tomorrow.

She is mad because this is just stressing her out. This will be the last time I am ALLOWED to take the kids. You would think I could at least get a small simple thank you. But no I am getting yelled at! Go figure. We will be gone in less than 48 hours and then I will not need to deal with my daughter taking her stress out on me ever again! At least until we get home.
