The difference between your co-worker and most of us...We're all DisneyAnal!
dsmolij 04-13-2008, 10:39 AM Its never too early to pack, I sort through clothes in May, the shabby clothes are for summer camp and then the better clothes are for Disney. I even shop for the next size up for My son, so if there is a growth spurt, I am ready. I am also shopping for the trial sized shampoo and conditioners, getting them sorted and in little plastic baggies. Yes its Disneyanalphobia.
shordiebecka 04-15-2008, 12:02 PM Sounds fun!!! I went down at the same time 2 years ago, and it was LOVELY!!! Beautiful weather and moderate crowds. I hope you have a blast and can't wait to see more updates!!!
tdelaney_98 04-20-2008, 06:16 PM I keep "DISNEY ONLY" shirts, along with all of my Disney gear, that stays pretty much packed and ready to go should I win the lottery--HA! It's NEVER too early to pack.
Looking forward to the info on the flip side! Happy travels.

Saturday May 17,2008
Arrived at airport at the specified two hours before (9:30 am) an boy is buffalo the most boring airport to travel out of hardly anyone there. Arrived in Orlando on time and made our way down to the magical express kiosk and had the slowest driver (Roberto) taking us "home" to Pop Century.
While Mom was checking us in i went to the concierge desk and picked up our hoop-de-do tickets and the castmember says you better leave now it takes 2 hours to get there and i had to chuckle.
We were originally in the 80/90 builing in the back by the parking lot but got move to the 60s building the next day.
Left for the hoop at 5:15pm for the 7:15 pm show and arrived in Fort Wilderness by 6:20pm so much for two hours. The show was fun, Mom got to play the washboard at the end. After the show we went back to the resort and crashed.
Sunday May 18, 2008
Epcot - Flower/Garden Festival and Doll Teddy Bear last day.
We made it to Epcot for rope drop and checked out Innoventions on both sides, Soarin, Finding Nemo and the Garden Center (at the body wars pavilion) and then headed to lunch at San Angel inn at 1230pm. The food was alright. Then headed over to France for the tour they were having with flowers and fragrences. The rest of the day was spent wandering world showcase.
May 19,2008
Epcot, again
Had 12:30 dining reservations for Le Celliar and it was really good had a family next to us who were very funny and having a wonderful time at Disney. Wandered over to the UK pavilion after lunch and did the Twinings (spelling) tea and flower/plant tour.
Then just wandered around the showcase
May 20,2008
Wander around Magic Kingdom for a little bit before heading to the Beach Club for dinner which was good. Did nothing really note worthy to remember
May 21,2008
Hung out by the pool and got toasted (sunburned)
May 22, 2008
Headed to Animal Kingdom but got rerouted to the AK Lodge due to a bus fire/accident in the loading/drop off area, but then eventually dropped off in the parking lot taxi cab area. Heading to Everest 20 minute way, Finding Nemo show, lunch at Yak and Yeti which was wonder full, then the safari and watched the parade.
Then back to the Magic Kingdom for Spectro Magic and the fire works and some rides
May 23, 2008
Went to downtown disney and did some shopping and had lunch at the Earl of Sandwich mmm mm good. After shopping headed back to the resort to do our boarding passes for the next day and pack up some stuff.
Headed to the Studios for dinner at Prime time and Fantasmic. Rode Rockin roller coaster and tower of terror.
May 24, 2008
Breakfast at Kona Cafe and back to the resort and on the bus to come back home at 1030pm
Can not wait to go back
EJ4Disney 06-02-2008, 12:15 PM Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
