The March 2014 Thread!!!!

6 days until we leave!

I can't say that I am too enthused about the weather forecasts so far...they have Thursday, the 27th, at an 80% chance of rain. Tuesday and Wednesday have a much lower chance, but I at least wanted to see some SUN on our trip. NC has had a rough winter this year

Hopefully there is room for change in the coming days!

I'm worried about the weather, too. Oh well, a rainy day at Disney is better than nothing!

Off to MK this morning then EPCOT.

Was there water in the moat? It was dry a couple of weeks ago.

It was dry as of last Thursday when we were there.

Hi Joh! It was great meeting you in AK. I hope you had a great trip! We sure did. I'm already having withdrawal...

The crane is back at the castle today. Snow whites mine train was running test runs the other night, no one on it just the empty cars.

I leave tomorrow, I am so excited, we will be there on Saturday!

Just back last night...
- The crane is at the castle and they're painting the spires. The newly painted spires are silver, the rest are blue. I don't know if that's the final color or whether the silver is some kind of primer. I like the blue better, personally.
- I've gone about the same time the past several years and crowd levels are definitely higher this year. I'm guessing folks are tired of winter up north...
- I haven't seen Mine Train running. The day I was at MK, there seemed to be a bunch of landscapers working onsite. Some construction walls are down, but there's still plenty there.
- The new 3:00 Magic Kingdom parade is pretty impressive. Definitely try to catch it if you're there. The path is the reverse of Spectromagic: it starts on the Frontierland side and ends at the Main Street barbershop.

That is primer...I read a blurb about it today.

The 10-day Orlando forecast is calling for rain on the 28th (when we arrive) and the 29th! I just know this forecast will change in the next few days, right?!? No rain is going to stop us, though! Rain ponchos and umbrellas if necessary!

 

[abyrd86]

Leaving in 3 days!!!

I feel like I'm coming down with a cold though Taking lots of vit c and zinc!

 

[dayvewc]

I get to leave work in 4 hours and 11 minutes.

Can anyone tell that I am excited?

 

[dachsie]

I have checked in online for my flight in the morning. It's almost here! WooHoo!!

My in laws just got back today. First trip ever for my Father in law. The cranes in the background of their only castle pic is just horrible. Why isn't the painting going on overnight like most other construction at Disney. The day time painting really takes you out of the park, out of the moment, and back to the real world.

Just back last night. We had a great time and I was pleasantly surprised with the crowds. I expected it to be much more crowded. Don't get me wrong at times it was crowded but not as bad as I expected since it was spring break. I guess it wasn't the busiest spring break week. We stayed at BWV and loved walling to Epcot and DHS. Magic bands and FP worked fine - only one small glitch the first day on the first FP. But they let us on anyways and then a CM helped me fix them. I did make them all online 60 days out.

Guess I am the last of the March 2014 board left to leave?!?!?!?!

Leaving on the 29th.....SO EXCITED!!!

Bought the last of the travel needs last night...yipppeee!!

Now to conquer my flying anxiety!!!!!!

 

[poeticdiabetic]

Actually, we're leaving on the 29th, as well. But we're driving down from Atlanta. Pray for us because my newly-permitted DS will try to 'help' me drive

But we're going to wait until there's open road before he gets behind the wheel.

Oh, and we are still not packed and we're still buying clothing. We'e not close to being ready- which is perfectly fine.

We were going to drive from PA, but my MIL decided she did not ever want to do that drive again. LOL!!!

So...bless you on your drive. MY ODS is turning 12 the day we leave....he begs me to let him drive...not looking forward to his 16th bday!

What a great memory for your DS on his newly issued permit though!!!

I think I am completely packed except for health & beauty stuff....and of course I have a list of thing I forgot...like rain ponchos, and sunglasses duh!

Have fun in Disney!!!!!!!
