Ditto -- gift cards to restaurants, Wmart, ANYWHERE basically, are PERFECT gifts for teachers!
BookSaver -- how far do you have to drive to visit your dmom? (((HUGS))) and prayers for you both, and your sister & brother-in-law. It is so stressful when our parents are not well.
It has been a SUPER SUNDAY here; that's for certain!
If you follow college football, you've been waiting for my announcement:
WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!
And... a look at the credit card... EEEEK... Disney World!
Oh well, you only live once... and dh and I were talking about it tonight, a lot of folks take the whole family on a cruise or something for a major anniversary. This trip will be our 40th anniversary trip. * whew *
We will be on a tight schedule -- some of you may be able to help me here -- (
Dee?) --
Has anyone been to the new Toy Story Land thing in the Disney Hollywood theme park? Our plan looks like this:
Monday, we will arrive sometime mid-afternoon and have till 9:00 pm (8:00 pm, our time) at
Epcot...
Tuesday, we have all day long, till 1:00 a.m. (midnight our time) for the
Magic Kingdom...
and Wednesday, New Year's Day, we will be going to the ballgame in
Tampa, then back to Disney to do what we can at the
Hollywood park. We will only have a few hours there, because the ballgame will not be over till 4:00 pm, by dh's estimate, and they will close at 8:00 pm (our time).
I've already bought tickets, 3 days, 3 parks, and have not added the Park Hopper option, but apparently I would be able to do that upon arrival, based on what I'm reading in the ticket confirmation I just received. I'm thinking I might need to do that and split Tuesday between the two parks? But then, ugh... the third days seems a total waste of time, LOL... to go all the way back there for just a few hours, if we had already seen it the day before?
* sheesh *
They have made it sooo complicated and sooo expensive now that I'm just afraid of making a mistake. We have not been there since probably 2003? DS was in college and still dating his high school girlfriend, so it wasn't long after his high school graduation.
I guess the best thing to do would be to get the Fast Passes for Hollywood, and put ourselves on a stricter agenda there than we would have to have the day before.
LOL -- dh is just concerned about being able to "hold up" for the trip. I am sooo glad it worked out to do this now. Who knows how long his health will be strong enough to do a big trip like this... and oh my goodness... dgd is sooo excited! And if it's possible, ddil is more excited than she is! (DGS, of course, never registers big emotions, but he says he is excited. And not disappointed that he won't get to visit the oldest European settlement in North America.)
