Thanks!!! I plan on taking tons of pics & writing down "memorable" moments so I don't forget to add it in my TR!!!! 13 hrs & 20 mins to go!!!!

We leave tonight in 13 hrs & 18 mins. But really, who is counting? When I started this PTR, I thought this day would NEVER get here. Now, it is & I am sooooooooo excited!!!! I know my boys are too. Question, anyone of your kids act like total heathens the day you leave or the day before you leave? I am about ready to beat mine within an inch of their life. For example, Koby has a Nintendo DS. Well, Brady gets mad at him & throws it! It hits the wall. Guess what, broken DS!!!! I have a feeling these boys will be dropped off on the interstate some where. (I am kidding, but it works as a threat). Thank you all so much for all your help, ideas & just being there these past few months! I have found some very wonderful people on here & you all have made my Disney planning that much more enjoyable!

I do have one more question though, we are driving to Disney, as you all know. I looked on the WDW website & it says this:

New Orleans, LA: I-10 East to I-75 South to the Florida Turnpike South toward Orlando to Interstate 4 West to Walt Disney World Resort Exits

Exit 65:
Disney's Animal Kingdom Resort Area: Disney's All-Star Music Resort

Last time we drove straight through to Magic Kingdom since we had a 1 day pass the day before our Resort was booked & stayed with family in Tampa. Will I miss the huge WALT DISNEY WORLD banner? I hope not! I would be so sad!

Thank you all so much! And I will be back on the 24th to hopefully start my TR. If you are on my facebook, you will get sneak peeks at pics & updates!

YAY!! IT'S HERE!!

:

I am soooo excited for you!!

It sounds like the boys are so excited they can't contain themselves!

I'm not sure about the big sign...I do know that I have come in from different entrances and seen it more than once.

HAVE AN AMAZING TRIP!!

Thanks girl!!!! They better learn to contain themselves REAL quick, I feel a migraine coming on from all the yelling & taking away their Disney money!

I soooooooo want a pic of that beautiful WALT DISNEY WORLD sign!!!

 

[therussells08]

Tell them if they don't behave you are going to drop them off with your friend Joni on the way and make them stay with me the whole time and do chores! (They don't need to know I actually live in NC! )

I hope you get your pic of the sign! Hopefully someone else can be more help than I'm being.
