Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I'll check in once more before we head out tomorrow night.

As for now, I'm off to bed. I have to work at 5am...BUT I'M GOING TO MICKEY'S HOUSE!!
(Are you sick of hearing me say things like this because I'm pretty sure everyone at work is! ...watch how much I care!)

I started taking Lysine this week and starting next week I'm going to take Zinc and Airborne each day throughout my trip. I'm also keeping up on my vitamins...I refuse to get sick at Disney. The one nice thing is I am on my own so I can easily wash my hands and clean my table area and just worry about me. I'm also going to do a lot of driving around the resort (Have to remember to fill up on gas when I'm almost there LOL) so I can avoid public transportation when I feel like it.

My coworkers are too! Now the ones who aren't taking a winter vacation (which is most of them) are starting to get jealous and mad! I wish I was going sooner!
I've been washing hands and disinfecting things like crazy!! I guess that's about all I can do, besides stay away from sick people. I'd be okay if I got something now, I have three weeks to go. Three weeks from now, I'll be at MK EMH or going to sleep at CBR!!! Wahoo!

Hi Guys!! Well we are here and having a wonderful time

The weather is perfect...70's- low 80's during the day and low 60's at night. .the crowds are a bit heavier than I thought they would be. Wait times for the big attractions were about an hour but with FP its ok. I am hoping tomorrow will be a little quieter at MK. We have an early ressie in Crystal Palace at 8am and then plan to be first in line for dumbo

We are so happy at the Animal kingdom Villas. We have a full kitchen, master bedroom with a king bed, and a HUGE bathroom. I think it is bigger than my daughters bedroom at home.

Well..I just wanted to check in. I am almost jealous of you guys who haven't left yet. My husband is already asking when we can come back

good night snowbirds, as my vacation draws closer, the sicker i seem to get....can everyone keep their fingers crossed that I get better by sunday? I have been using the zicam, theraflu and whatever i can get my hands on, I really don't want to be sick for this vacation!

Catching up with the new thread! My son wore his new Mickey pj's tonight and said, "Mommy, I have a good idea. We should bring these pj's to Disney World!" Well of course we should! He's so cute in them I wish he could wear them in the park. Hey there's an idea- Pajama Day at Disney!
You can see pics of my kids in their mickey and minnie pj's in my pretrip report!
Have a great night!

Ok, Hello everyone!

Well we made an executive decision to drive down to Milwaukee tomorrow night. They are supposed to get some snow over night, and frankly, I just want to be down there so we don't have to deal with the driving and stuff.

Alright, I need to grab some dinner and finish up my last minute stuff!

If you're almost there, then *I'm* almost there!!!

I went and looked for bathing suits today. Who knew that Michigan didn't have a huge demand for them in January? Okay, I kid, I didn't expect much different. JC Penny had a few, but they started at $70 and for a swimsuit I might not wear? No thanks!

Then I get home and get a gift card to JCP for my birthday, from my aunt... but it's still expensive, even at $50. Plus, er, it probably wasn't supportive enough. TMI. Sorry!

Getting SO excited - I can't wait!!

Are most of you taking swimming things? I don't think we are...I'm sure OL has a heated pool(they have like 4 pools on the property) but I don't think we'll have time.

~~Anyone heard if the sickies are still going around at WDW? I am terrified we are going to catch it.

Ok, gotta run....just dropping in so I can still be a part of this board!!

I am, too - and am so not a swimmer. But I figure that it doesn't take up a lot of room and I would regret not having it if we have really warm weather.

Thanks for the greetings and I'm so glad you guys are having fun. Hopefully, all the schools will start back soon so you'll have fewer lines. Enjoy [and I'm glad I'm on the tail end of the month, too - so I can prolong the post - Disney blues]

Hi, Wendy - I wanted to say this back in Part IV but we had already moved. Your family picture is beautiful! And it sure *looks* like your DH is having fun...

Ha - we've been talking about buying Mickey PJs and wearing them in the parks, too - and most of us are adults! So, if you see some folks wearing pjs in WDW in less than three weeks....

And, I've FINALLY gotten around to subbing to everyone's PTRs! I apologize for taking so long! Can't wait to read them....

[Mndisneygirl]

Goodnight everyone!! Thanks for all your help on the t-shirt stuff. I think I'm going to ask for one of the Disigners to make us one for the cruise. I liked Crzyrd's Experience the Magic, and thought we could change Magic to Wonder, since that's the ship we're going on. Do you think that would work?

Man, it would have been so much simpler (and cheaper) if I never saw everyone else's cool shirts!! Now I have less than three weeks to do them!

See you all tomorrow! Same Disney Time, Same Disney Channel!

Hey all,
I need some emotional support. I"m sure I'm TOTALLY freaking out over nothing, but we were talking about the whole John Travolta's son's death, and that Kawasaki Disease that he had (not necessarily related to his death), Keaton has had about 4 of the symptoms in the past few weeks. PROBABLY all unrelated, but I called the Dr and he wants to do a full work up tomorrow, blood work and all. I'm freaking out a bit, MAINLY because the hospital we're at, although hubby works there, its a "smaller" hospital and frankly, I don't trust the people to stick him! He's chubby so he's a very hard stick, and even the RN's at the specialist we see tried 4 times to get blood, and they're EXPERTS!

Poor baby! I'm 'hard to stick' too and, even as an adult, this is really painful.

I don't know about this disease - all I can offer are lots of these

[peach3es]

Chatty! Part V??? WOW! I'm glad I found you! I nearly got left in the dust over there!

We are up to our (Mickey) ears in t-shirts! We've only got 3 more to finish and I love how they are turning out! The kids have no idea we're making them, and instead of giving them to them before we go, I'm going to pack them and surprise them each morning with a new t-shirt! Isn't that FUN? I only made 2 for the adults, but I've got 5 for the kids. Plus the Disney Store t-shirt I bought, that covers almost every day. I think they're gonna love the shirts and seeing their names on some of them.

Dingbat me, I made too many iron-ons!

I leave for Disney in just 3 days!!!!!! Gah! I can't believe it!

peanut...thanks for the live update! How FUN to hear from someone who is there!

[Disney Mommy 3]

Holy Cow!! Ya'll shocked me with that move!!! Yes, I am on here in the middle of the night! Went to bed with a slight headache--now I think it's a migraine I took some PMs,so I am just waiting for that to kick in--I will be better in the morning if I can get some solid sleep. Kinda nauseated right now-darn headaches.
Yippee for all of you there or heading out today/tomorrow!!!

Peaches.... I can see it now... t-shirts all over the place... kind of reminds me of an I Love Lucy Show.... you with the iron... slaving over the steam... with t-shirts tossed all around... kids running everywhere......

not saying yours was like that.... but its a funny thought.....
