Okay, yes, you may have noticed, I've had a few questions this week. Well, I'm still afraid to jinx it, but there's a chance we will be leaving for Disney TOMORROW! We had planned to go to San Antonio (Sea World, Rainforest Cafe', Riverwalk, etc), but they are experiencing flooding and continued rains (they've had a REALLY bad summer).

So, Sunday night, Mike mentioned the possibility, but it was just that. I really couldn't plan full-steam ahead or anything. In fact, it wasn't much of anything until this afternoon.

So, who plans a trip in a day and a half? Well, even I don't...lol. I've been planning THE NEXT TRIP since our last trip...lol. Unfortunately, we've come pretty close to going THREE times since the last trip, but it never panned out for us.

What do I have so far? Well, we know what parks we'll visit and for how many days. We don't know how many days' tickets we're going to get yet because we're considering a 10-day no-expire to save for next time. We also have an ADR for Whispering Canyon Cafe' Saturday evening. And we know HOW we're getting there (driving, of course).

We still need to get a room, that's going to be the trickiest part. At last check, there were still rooms available at the value resorts for $109. Having never paid more than $35/night at Disney, that's a little scary. But we couldn't put money down on a room without knowing for sure if we were going or not because we would lose that money.

And, before we tomorrow morning, we need to decide how many days we want. If we just get 2 (we already have 1), then we have to wait until Disney, but if we choose more, then I can buy them at The Disney Store tomorrow morning.

So, here's hoping, fingers crossed, that we might actually get to go after 3 failed attempts to do so.

Oh, by the way, y'all are probably thinking, "Does she realize it's July?" Uh, yeah...ugh! But, we've been before in July, and we've been often enough to know exactly what we want to do and how WE like to peruse the parks, so we'll just hope & pray that we don't set each other off with frustration...lol.

Off-site, but the hotel no longer exists. It was also very off-season (first 2 weeks of December, mid-Sept).

Haven't left yet...we leave tonight/this evening.

But I did get the room booked, whew!

Now, it's packing time...got a load of laundry on. All my running-around errands are done.

You know I will!

I'm a stand-still right now. All I really have left to do is to pack, and the clothes aren't finished washing, much less drying, so I can't do anything...ack!

*wink* If the stress of a last minute trip is too much for you, I'll go instead. It's ok, I'll make the sacrifice for you. :-) Have a fab time!
