Starting to get nervous that I will forget something...even though I have a great packing list and have checked and rechecked it several times.

I need to put the camera in my bag. When we went by ourselves the last time I said what do I need a camera for with out the kids? I had so many things I wanted to take a picture of that a cell phone just couldn't do justice. I will carry it every day this time!

Where's the green jealous smiley, I am so ready to be there!
Leaving the kids with my mom was so much easier when they went on vacation the same week. Now I have to give my mom a big Itinerary, with instructions with all the possible happenings for 5 days. :rolleyes:

:cool: 3 Days!! :cool:
Y'all know the last 24 hours don't count because I won't be sleeping that night right? We are being picked up at 5:45 am for the ride to the airport which means I will be up by 4:30 am to be able to shower and get the last minute stuff together. The chances of me actually getting to sleep before 1-2 am is slim to none, I hope to be able to get at least a nap though!

We hit 200 days this past Saturday, the same day I received my park tickets and MVMCP tickets in the mail! YAY!!!!!!!!!! Soon I'll be making ADR's and then before you know it, we'll be at 100 days . . . then 50 . . . etc. . . then we'll get to go! I just can't wait.
96 days left!
Just made a new ADR for a Tusker House breakfast. Contemplated switching hotels, but decided to stay with Shades of Green. The savings don't seem to be worth it.

27 days to go!!!! We are so ready. The kids (and my hubby) are counting down the actual school days (18 there) and the real number of days for WDW. Even my 6 yo DS can tell you, at any time, how many days for each. I think we might just be a little excited!!!!!

For those of you about ready to leave...have a fantasmical time. We will be looking for trip reports when you get back.
KJSJpipe...I understand completely. We have a early morning flight and must be on our way to the airport at 5am. I am quite sure all I will get is a nap. Have a great trip!

129 DAYS ... :D
Well, it looks like it's gonna be my wife & me by ourselves in September again this year. The past two years we've gone in Sept/Oct without the kids because I've had a meeting in Orlando and we were able to work it out for her to join me. This year we just decided, "Why break the tradition?" So we're counting down to September 17--we got the free dining plan too ;)
After that it'll be sometime in the summer of '09 with the whole family. As soon as we know exactly when, I'm sure I'll have the countdown clock up & runnin' for that one too :D
129 days to Walt Disney World -- see countdown clock below for this year's trip to the beach with the whole family.

My problem isn't going to sleep, its getting up tooo early. I always have the insomnia of oversleeping and missing my flight. I even did it on my last vacation on my return trip...granted i had to be up by 4am to make a flight at 7am. I actually woke up an hour early.

Haha! Same here! I somehow trust my alarm to wake us up on time every day, but on the days we have to catch a plane - I wake up every 15 minutes for about two hours before my alarm goes off - just to make sure I haven't missed it! Crazy - Excitement gets me every time! At least I don't get sick before flights any more - that was bad. I had to take a mild sedative before my first trip to France. My stomach was in knots - I was so excited!
I haven't been on a long flight since 2001 - only two hour flights to LA. Seattle to Orlando is MUCH more exciting - especially with the thought of WDW waiting for us. I'll have to set two alarms just to make sure! ;)

Fear not my nap will not be continual sleep, I will most likely wake up at least once an hour to look at the clock and will probably give up about 3am.

Bon Voyage everyone! 131 more for me!! I just added 1 more day to my trip today to make a total of 9 magical nights. I justified the extra expense by telling myself that the airfare would be cheaper on a Monday return than on Sunday and 1 more day at the Food & Wine Festival is worth it.

For me its not just plane trips unfortunately. I used to get up at 4am for work at 7:30. Now mind you the drive time at that time of morning for me was 45min to an hour at the most. It took me a 2 week vacation with family to break me of the habit. I have an insomnia of missing getting up on time for anything.
