[KathyM2]

Yay! So excited for you and looking forward to the TR surprises! Also you are so nice to make sure your hubby has food while you are gone!!!

 

[Lidian]

Eeeek! I'm here and I barely made it in time! You are SO CLOSE! Can you taste the MK air and smell the orange groves on Soarin yet? I had to read your PTR via chapter links, as I'd be here for ages to read all 35 pages top to bottom.

Your plans sound great! I can't wait to hear how they unfold! And I really think you should move your October trip up a few days. I do need someone to take DD13 on the ToT, as I won't set foot there.

 

[cstorm65]

You're almost there! Hope you get everything done you need to these next couple of days. But you sound like you've got it all under control!

 

[eandesmom]

I am going to do a happy dance for myself for being caught up!

YAY for a couple hours of uninterrupted time

Day 6 -- our last day (we have an ungodly pick-up on Mother's Day of 4:30 a.m.)

That is so beyond all kinds of wrong. I am getting up early that day but by choice...to run..because apparently I have caught some wierd disease that makes me think that's how I want to spend Mothers Day morning.

Then again the mimosa garden at the finish line may have been a factor. And the pretty daffodil medal. LOL!

Our plans for the day include stopping at Starbucks, of course, for coffee.

thank goodness, or I would worry about you!

So my trip is in just 18 days...I can't believe it. I have my ME tag, my Magic Band and my list of what to pack all set. I don't know how this trip snuck up on me. I think with having been sick for a week I just put it out of my mind. My luggage is in my closet ready to be packed which will probably be done the night before I leave. Mark and Alisha are coming for the weekend. We are going to dinner with Andy and Des on Friday night after they get here; Saturday, we will be at a wrestling tournament the entire day and then Mark, Alisha, Mark and I are going to dinner with very good friends. Sunday, I scheduled a massage for Mark and Alisha and then Mark will go to lunch with his Dad while Alisha and I go shopping. The following (the weekend of April 25 and 26), Des and I are supposed to spend the day together on Saturday and then Sunday I will give the house a final cleaning. The day before I leave...Saturday, May 2, I have an appointment at 10:00 for my nails and then noon for my pedicure. I want to cook a few things for Mark so he's not eating fast food the whole time I am gone.

I am exhausted just reading all that!

Must have cronut!

MUST!

My favorite people at dinner tonight

Cute pic of the 4!

I'd like to go to the Dawa Bar and get a lovely cocktail.

Me too! It's actually been a long time since I have done that. Sad. Maybe even since we did the wild africa trek which would mean it was with Tracey....

there is also a chance that I will be meeting Amanda and Mira

Oh how lovely would that be! I so admire Amanda

Well, the suitcase is packed, my carry on bag is almost packed and now I'm just anxious for Sunday to get here. The way Nicki and I (and Todd) keep texting, messaging, calling each other that we hadn't seen each other in years. Lots of new plans are in that I'm not going to tell you about until the TR. And we already have a title for the TR. I keep thinking today is Thursday because my 89 year old boss isn't coming in tomorrow and he always works on Thursdays. So I am all confused. My desk is basically clean...just a few things to take care of. We went grocery shopping tonight to be sure Mark had food in the house. I'm going for a massage tomorrow night and Friday night I am making Mark some Chop Suey to have while I am gone while he is doing two baseball games. Then on Saturday, I am going to get my nails done and my pedicure and I told Mark I'd take him to dinner when he gets off from Target. Early to bed for us on Saturday night...have to be up at 3 a.m. Sunday so I can shower and finish packing to head to the airport at 3:45 for my 6 a.m. flight.

Oh, and I did end up getting the Memory Maker for this trip.

I know I didn't comment on much of the plans but they look fabulous!

Oh my goodness, you are almost "too" ready, now it's just the waiting which is no fun at all! But yikes that is an early start.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Stopping by to wish you safe travels, Kathy! I know the trip is going to be fabulous and I will be looking forward to the TR and hearing all about your adventures with Nicki (and Todd)! LOVE an early flight!!

We leave this morning to drive to Sarasota - will spend the night both ways in southern GA to break up the trip for Mia since she must do all the driving alone. We'll be in Sarasota until May 9th..cannot believe so many of my DIS friends will be there this weekend and next week...finally I could have met some of my favorite people.

Have a great time...hugs all around!!

Almost time!!! Can't wait to hear about your awesome trip!

Taylor's girlfriend and her parents, who haven't taken her since she was 6, are going to be at WDW from Tues.-Sat. too. She is a huge Disney freak and I think her mom only agreed to go because his gf was going to go over the summer with her friend's family, and her mom felt jealous. He got her a princess lanyard with pins to give her when she gets home from college this weekend. I'm not sure what their exact plans are, but I'm sure she'll be at our house going over them with us this weekend. She also loves to take pictures, so I'll be looking in the background of her pictures for you! And if you see a pretty sweet 18 year old girl running around like a little kid with her equally excited dad and her eye-rolling mom, be sure to say hi!

Anything you can recommend as a must do for Flower and Garden for them?

 

[SarahDisney]

2 days until you leave ... I'm sure you're really excited!

Have an amazing trip ... I can't wait to read all about it when you get back!

 

[KatMark]

Yay! So excited for you and looking forward to the TR surprises! Also you are so nice to make sure your hubby has food while you are gone!!!

Thank you. I can't believe I'm leaving in the morning. I didn't want my husband eating fast food every night.

Eeeek! I'm here and I barely made it in time! You are SO CLOSE! Can you taste the MK air and smell the orange groves on Soarin yet? I had to read your PTR via chapter links, as I'd be here for ages to read all 35 pages top to bottom.

Liddy, I am so happy you are back on the DIS. Less than 12 hours until my flight...unbelievable. I can smell the popcorn on Main Street and the orange groves. Oh I can't wait.

Your plans sound great! I can't wait to hear how they unfold! And I really think you should move your October trip up a few days. I do need someone to take DD13 on the ToT, as I won't set foot there.

I wish I could move it, but we are reversing our trip with starting at Marco and then Disney so we can spend Nicki's birthday card with her.

You're almost there! Hope you get everything done you need to these next couple of days. But you sound like you've got it all under control!

Thanks, Jon. I am sure we are going to have a blast. I got everything done and just need the time to move 12 hours faster.

I am going to do a happy dance for myself for being caught up!

I am dancing with you.

YAY for a couple hours of uninterrupted time

Glad you a few hours to yourself.

That is so beyond all kinds of wrong. I am getting up early that day but by choice...to run..because apparently I have caught some wierd disease that makes me think that's how I want to spend Mothers Day morning.

I guess I wanted as much "Nicki and Todd" time on the flight going; not sure why I booked the return so early. I think getting up that early to run is wrong.

Then again the mimosa garden at the finish line may have been a factor. And the pretty daffodil medal. LOL!

Okay...I changed my mind. That's worth it.

thank goodness, or I would worry about you!

You know me and my coffee.

I am exhausted just reading all that!

It was an exhausting weekend; but, loved the Cinderella movie and Edward made my back all better.

MUST!

I still would love to bring a box home (I think Mark would love it too).

Cute pic of the 4!

Thanks.

Me too! It's actually been a long time since I have done that. Sad. Maybe even since we did the wild africa trek which would mean it was with Tracey....

I think it's been two years since I have so I really want to stop.

Oh how lovely would that be! I so admire Amanda

This would make my trip perfect!

I know I didn't comment on much of the plans but they look fabulous!

Thanks, Cynthia.

Oh my goodness, you are almost "too" ready, now it's just the waiting which is no fun at all! But yikes that is an early start.

I got everything else done...just waiting to go to bed so I can get up at 3:00 to shower and go to airport.

Stopping by to wish you safe travels, Kathy! I know the trip is going to be fabulous and I will be looking forward to the TR and hearing all about your adventures with Nicki (and Todd)! LOVE an early flight!!

Thanks, Christine.

We'll be in Sarasota until May 9th..cannot believe so many of my DIS friends will be there this weekend and next week...finally I could have met some of my favorite people.

I'm glad you got to Florida okay and hope you gals have a great time.

Have a great time...hugs all around!!

Thank you, friend.

Almost time!!! Can't wait to hear about your awesome trip!

Thanks, my dear.

I will do so.

Anything you can recommend as a must do for Flower and Garden for them?

Definitely enjoy all the topiaries and try some of the food booths.

2 days until you leave ... I'm sure you're really excited!

11 hours now...I'm beyond excited.

Have an amazing trip ... I can't wait to read all about it when you get back!

Thanks, Sarah. I appreciate it.

(please tell me your back is better now?)

How sweet of you to ask. I'd say it is 95%. If I sit too long or twist to fast, I'll still feel a bit of pain. But I think I am good for TOT, and that makes me very happy.
