Let the good times roll! Those are HUGE ride milestones! My youngest just hit 48 inches in May - can now ride most of the big stuff as well as Harry Potter! That one caused a big old meltdown 2 years ago when son could ride and she couldn't. Congrats!

We were there in December 2 years ago too. Had record breaking days of 32 degrees two days in a row! And the rest of the days were long pants and jackets. You could tell who was from up north and who were the southern people by how many clothes they were wearing! It was cold, but I think we weathered it a bit better than those not used to it. BTW, we're from the Akron area. Don't know where Republic is located. Is it near a larger city?


BAHAHA! Now that I can stop laughing, no Republic is a village that I actually live outside of. It is near Tiffin, hour south of Toledo. It is really small but that is what we like about it. That was the frozen Christmas we were at too, two years ago. I am taking a coat this time! have a great trip. We leave in 7 DAYS

2 weeks for us! When I say 2 weeks it sounds much closer than 14 days. The older ds and fiance were here tonight and they made shirts for Chef Mickey's. We had a lot of fun. I also did 3 more iron on shirts today and packed a few more things.

I made 11 dresses, 9 skirts and 19 tee-shirts. 1 dress and 1 skirt are for my neice. 3 Tees are for my nephew. 2 tees are for my neice and 2 tees (1 each) for the older neices. The rest for my 2 girls.

That was a lot of work and everything looks amazing! Twirling is the best!

Everything looks really great. The camera strap is really neat.

Arrive the 17th and leave the 23rd. Only 1 ADR for Chef Mickeys on the 18 at 8am.

We are flying in and out of Tampa and staying at Windsor Palms. At $61 a night for 3 bedrooms I can't complain.

I've been sick and actually still in bed. I went to the ER yesterday and was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. Big YUCK! I have the suitcases out but not packed. I have so much to do this week. Kids school programs, work on Tuesday and Wednesday, Twilight on Thursday and housecleaning Friday. No time to be sick.

But 5 days!!! Woohoo

Final packing after work and GS cookie mom training tomorrow night. We'll be waking the kids up at 5:30 AM on Wednesday morning to tell them we are heading to the airport to go to Disney. Can't believe we've been able to keep the secret.

Got it! I like smaller towns as well. Our son and his wife live in Toledo. We'll be taking our coats this year as well. Hope we don't need them! Have fun on your trip!

Another day another milestone. Got our grocery shopping done for the trip. We've got road food plus food and supplies for the hotel. Took the kids with us, which was a little precarious but they didn't question anything. Of course today DD1 wanted some of the snacks we bought for school and the small boxes of cereal for breakfast. I had to lie and tell her those were for me to take to work since I don't eat breakfast at home.

Tonight we're picking up our pre-order of Brave from the Disney Store and getting T-shirts to make shirts with. The kids are going to a friend's house for the evening while we do this so hopefully we can get it done in time.

Looking at the weather and it looks a little bi-polar. Mid 70's during the day and upper 40's low 50's at night! With the time change it'll be darker and colder soon too. Not sure if there will be any swimming on this trip but the daytime should be nice. Just will have to bring along sweatshirts and hoodies to stay warm. We're bringing our coffee maker and a bottle of irish cream to keep us warm!

Hope everyone has a good day.

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

We are 6 days out!!! I am about to lose it! I want to clean the house and get all the laundry done before we leave. I feel like I just don't have enough time. We only own 3 suitcases and there are 3 of us for 12 days!!! I am borrowing a suitcase from a friend and hope that I can cram all of our crap into the 4 suitcases.

We are flying and I know I can buy food in the terminal but can I bring a snack for my son? Or is food on the plane a no no?

Feeling the pressure!!! Cannot wait to get to FL!

Yes you can bring a snack on the plane. The only restrictions are to liquids and gels. I bring applesauce (the kind that doesn't require a spoon) through for my DD everytime I fly with her and have never had it questioned (nor do I declare it). I would stay away from any drinks or things like fruit cups with juice. Finger foods that are easy to clean and self contained are the best.

Its our last partial day here but I heard word that they were letting non pass holders into New Fantasyland today. Unfortunately my wife and I heard a little too late. Was a busy last few days here at the World, but it has cleared out a bit. Weather was great and I hope you all have a wonderful trip.

You're becoming quite the accomplished liar! All for a good cause! Bi-polar certainly describes the weather down there at this time of year! Sounds like you'll be prepared, though. Good luck with the shirts.

Sorry you missed out on FL. Hope your trip was awesome. Be safe getting home, and come and tell us all about your time down there.
