Enjoy yourself! I bet your DD will love it.

It's not so much that she hurts my back (my slings and wraps are awesome)...it's more that I just can't move as quickly! It takes me longer to bend over and trying to iron with her is next to impossible. Hopefully, DH will be able to occupy her for the few evening prior to us leaving so I can get things together. My packing lists are printed and in each corresponding suitcase so that should simplify things too since I won't have to try and figure out where everything needs to go.

We're so excited! I've been watching the Disneyland Fun Sing-a-Long Songs with DD and she loves it! She twists her upper body (dancing....) and actually sits and watches it. Claps while she chews on the DVD case. I'm shocked at not quite 11mo that she will sit and watch.

Single-digit-dancing!!! YAY!

DH just found out that he has a client dinner the night before we leave so I'll be stuck alone with DD to finish packing. I'm hoping my Mom or sis can come over to help with her so I can get things finalized since we have to leave the house at 5:15am the next day to get to the airport for our 7:20am flight.

All but 2 of our ADR's are confirmed (pulled them up online). I need to call Disney Dining and see what's up with the other 2. They were unable to be pulled up online so I'm a tad concerned.

I'm going to wait to check in at our resort when we get there I think. Still debating that one. I'm thinking our chances of a view upgrade will go down if we do online check in.

8 days to lift-off! Got some cleaning done today and finished confirming ADR's. I do like the online reservation system for that purpose.

I'm contemplating a live TR this time since I'll be there for 15 days. But, I'll only be able to do it for the first 8 or 9 days since DH will be leaving then and taking his Sprint card with him. I will not pay for internet in a resort! We'll see what I can work out.

6 days! I am SO excited, I almost don't know what to do with myself!

I've done some ironing today on the clothes that I'm able to pack and am going to Whole Foods tonight to get food for DD to eat while we're in WDW (she's just started solids so she eats very little & only certain foods). All of our travel bottles are filled and labeled. I still need to "hem" my MNSSHP costume and I think I'm taking DH's back to the store and getting a different one because the hat portion doesn't fit and it's a big part of the costume.

We're down to 3 days! My Mom offered to watch DD so we could run errands today. We got all our snacky foods for the resort room, food for DD (organic produce), and new tennis shoes for DH. We looked at exchanging his costume but the store didn't have anything he liked better so we're hanging on to what we've got.

Now to finish laundry and ironing so I can finish packing. Lots of other small, random things to do too.

Check the Postcard Pixies thread if you'd like a postcard while we're there!

Alright, my last post for my "pre-TR"! We leave TOMORROW morning!! Our flight takes off at 7:20am CST and we have a layover in St. Louis and then on to Orlando, arriving at 1pm.

I'm running around today finishing small loads of laundry and getting the last few things packed. DH asked me to get him the new Dan Brown book today so that's on my errands list along with getting cash and a couple new toys for DD for the hotel room. I already cleared out my car so we can pack it up. We've got 3 full size suitcases and 3 carry ons (yay for free luggage on SWA!) plus the stroller that we'll gate check.

Hopefully the next time you hear from me I'll be in the air or in WDW!

Have fun!!! Can't wait to read your TR

You will have a fabulous trip! ENjoy every second... It is so much fun with little ones!

[Pixie]

I've been trying to be patient...but how was the trip??

[WishUponAStar]

Yeah, where is she!?!

[nubeanie]

I bet she had so much fun, she decided to not come back!

I was confused because at first I thought she was still there but then I realized it's October (doh).
