that actually is a really good start. if you've picked out what you're taking you're a good bit of the way there.

WOO!!!! Piles are the clear per-cursor to actually getting clothes in the suitcase. I have to make piles first

YAY!

I'm taking my netbook...and will post as I'm able...pics too I hope!! I can't promise daily posts but I know how much you all look forward to "real time" TRs!! I know I enjoy visiting vicariously when I'm wishing I was at the World!
WooooHoooo...about 36 hours til we hit the road!!!!!
Tentative schedule:
DisneyQuest & DTD - day 1
Hollywood Studios - day 2
Epcot - day 3
Animal Kingdom - day 4
Relax at the resort - day 5
Magic Kingdom - day 6
Typhoon Lagoon & play some mini golf - day 7
Relax at the resort - day 8
Relax at the resort & DTD - day 9
Drive home - day 10

We have PH tix, so parks listed are primary, but we'll be "hopping" around all day!! Lots of good ADRs and counter service plans on the dining plan. Plenty of pins for trading with an extensive "wish list"!

My favorite local musician is performing at House of Blues on Day 9 so I'm really looking forward to that too!!

Have to shop for gifts for work, gifts for house/pet sitter, family and friends. We're also planning on visiting with local friends and seeing how much the area has changed in the 2 yrs since we moved.

Whew...it's a good thing I'm still on vacation when we get home...I'll need to rest up from this vacation!!!

It's all good!!

Looks awesome, and actually pretty relaxing! (I'm not sure I could stay away from the Magic Kingdom until Day 6 though!!)

I can't wait to hear all about your travels...food especially! I'm always looking for new restaurants and dishes to try.

Have so much fun! We look forward to any updates while you're there and when you return! Safe travels!

MK day is actually DH's BD and was planned early on to utilize the "What are you Celebrating" promotion for free admission on your BD. This trip has definitely grown since we first started planning in January. At first we were only going to spend 2 days in the parks and then the buy 4 get 3 promotion was announced and the trip "exploded" into a 10 day trip!!

We kept adding on features as we determined we could afford them. The dining plan was the last addition and we are SO looking forward to some great meals.

I'll definitely do a TR and hope to post while we are there. Still no luck getting the Wishes dessert party for DH's BD but I keep trying. Last ditch effort will be to see if there are any "walk-ups" available. The last cast member I spoke with at 407-WDisney "wondered" if a few slots might be "held back" for walkups. I'm praying...if you all could do the same that would be great! It's DH's last BD before he hits "the big one"

It's getting closer...I'm officialy "on vacation" as of 4:00 pm today!!
