Everything's packed, kids are sleeping... now maybe if I could stop my brain from going over my list for the 1 millionth time, I could get some sleep myself! This time tomorrow, I'll be on the Poly beach enjoying the view. Hope everyone who's headed out in the next few days has a wonderful time!

Safe travels to you and your family ! We'll be headed down in about a day and a half ! Save me a Lapu Lapu .

OFFICIAL PAID OFF MY PKG TODAY DANCE

44 DAYS TO GO

[aroundtheriverbend]

I think we can serve as proof that even the longest time can pass and soon it will be each of your times to return to the Poly! Thought this day would never come!

Hope all of you embarking this week have nice, smooth travel, and we'll see you on the other side!

I'm gonna try to check in via iPhone while we're there, so if anyone has a question about "Poly live" I'll try to answer it. So far I haven't figured out how to make the text bigger than microscopic on the safari application though - just got the phone. But I will try a few times.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Around...

Put your fingers together on the text then move them apart. That will expand the text.

It's benn easy to read on the iPhone, but much more difficult to type. Sometimes I lose my place and can't read what I'm typing. Hope you have a great trip!

[mmmears]

We are at the Poly, leaving tomorrow...

I'm pretty sure we will have some extra bottles (10 or so) of Dasani left over (I had 3 cases shipped to us).

We also have a can of Lysol and a full thing of Clorox wipes.

If you are a DISer at the Poly tonight and want them, just pm me.

I am so freaking out though. My work keeps pileing on and everybody wants to buy/sell NOW. People--where were you last year when I was twidling my thumbs? Just because I am going to Disney they want to stress me out now??? Geez.


It may horror everyone to know I have not even started packing. My suitcases are still in the top of my closet. I can't find my favorite pink flip flops for the pool. I still need batteries for my camera. I have not notified my girls' teachers. The clothes I bought are still in the bags and unwashed.

At least I already submitted and paid for my gardengrocer order. WOW....I am thankful I have the plane, transportation, hotel, adrs and tickets already taken care of from months ago.

Anybody else as far behind????

Good morning friends!

I am also far behind. Suitcase in the closet, not even thinking of packing yet. Bought some snacks and juiceboxes, but that's about it. My DD caught a nasty cold that she's had since Wednesday so I've been taking care of her. She's with her dad for a few hours today so I'm going to attempt to get started...Everyone wish some pixie dust on us that she recuperates in time for our trip. She is so congested and has a horrible, horrible cough. I guess it's better that it's happening now, and not right when we get there, right? WHich brings me to an important question...if I need to bring her somewhere for treatment of some kind, what are the options if you have no car? WIsh me luck that my birthday girl feels better soon!

[taylor3297]

To all that are getting ready to head out, I hope you have a blast! Please share as you can.

For those coming home, I hope your trip was everything you had hoped and more. Look forward to hearing all about it. Add pictures please if you can.

I hope she feels better really soon.

If you need a doctor while at WDW, there's a service that sends one to your room. We've used it twice over the years and been very, very happy. As I recall, you must pay immediately by cc# and then file insurance on your own. But it was so worth it. Both times the doctor came within hours (they give you an appointment time) and was very thorough and friendly. The doctors call in prescriptions to Turner drugs which delivers to the front desk in short order. I really appreciated not having to take a sick child to a doc in a box and expose her to even more illness.

There are also urgent care centers. I think I've read that they will even pick you up.

The front desk will provide you with info on both. You can just pick up your room phone and ask.

I hope she's better very quickly.

Thanks for sharing the doctor info. I never knew that it was available.

sm04 and aroundtheriverbend - HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!

mmmears ~ I'm sorry your trip is coming to its close. It has been so fun following along with your live reports Enjoy your last day and safe travels to you.

lissiesmum - MAJOR pixie dust to you and your DD. I totally agree that it's better to have this happening now, though, a week before you leave. But I'm so sorry she's feeling poorly I've read reports in the past re. how wonderful the Poly CMs have been helping guests who are dealing with illness so I'd try not to worry about that.

PolyAddict ~ CONGRATULATIONS!!

What awesome info, BCV23

And "doc in a box"... you crack me up!

[SeaSpray]

Good morning everyone!

I hope that everyone who's going soon has a wonderful time!!!!

lissiesmum: I hope that your DD feels better soon! BCV gave you the exact info regarding doctors while at WDW that I would've! I hope that you won't need to see a doctor, but at least you know the options, just in case.

mmears: That's a generous offer! I hope that another DISer is able to take you up on it.

PolyAddict: CONGRATS on paying off the trip! That's always such a great feeling!



I have to say, I feel so happy reading about all of you who are getting ready for your trips, or while you're there, and then when you get back! It's really the next best thing to being there, myself!!!

Thanks

I have to say it feels extra good after cancelling the Poly for our 08 trip due to the fact that there were no deals going on and i couldn't swallow the price tag.We ended up staying at the Swan, which was nice but no Poly.Staying CL for the 2nd time is the icing on the cake.

Yippee!
