I'm on the home stretch now!

So we leave for Disney in 9 days and 13 hours (but who's counting yay )

I've spent the afternoon tying up some loose ends

-checked in online to Coronado Springs
-placed garden grocer order
-made a packing list
-reconfirmed ADRs
-got suitcases out of storage room
-hyperventilated from excitement!
-attempted to swipe the smile off my face...failed

its been two years since we have been to Disney (and that was the first trip for both of us)..I'm so excited and I really appreciate all the knowledge that all you experts have shared on this forum!

Once we hit the double digits, I celebrate everytime we hit another ten day mark by doing my "we're going to Disney dance". Trust me, this is not pretty but it sure makes me happy.

everything is in order except the weather...getting quite nervous about tropical Storm Leslie. She may hit the maritime provinces (which is home for me) early next week and be a hurricane by then (and our flight is tuesday).

Right now there are 7 possible trajectories 2 of which would interfere with my flight. Tropical storm Leslie is moving very slowly right now so it is too early to tell what direction she will take....sitting on pins and needles right now!

I tend to be a worry wart so i'm trying hard not to get too upset too early...cross your fingers everybody!!!!

I've been watching the weather reports for the maritimes (we live in Ontario) - I sure hope it doesn't cause you any problems. It wouldn't dare, right? crossfingers

So the weather will most likely cooperate! Nova scotia with get some rough surf but that's about it. Hopefully New Foundland doesn't get hit too hard though.

I leave in under 30 hrs! But I work Monday and it's going to be torture....I just wanna go go go! ( it's 1 o'clock in the morning here right now...too excited to sleep eeek)

Thanks for the well wishes and I'll make sure to post a trip report!!!
