My sister is leaving for Disney tonight....

[linanglab]

I am quite excited for her and her family, and my Mom and Dad. They leave tonight, going to drive straight through. They will go to a beach in FL for 2 days, then on Sunday night, stay in Orlando with their first day at Disney on Monday....however.... I have to admit that I am a bit envious. I have had the Disney bug REALLY bad lately.

I was able to go through with her all the park info. Like which rides her kids and mom and dad would like/wouldn't like. The must dos and the skippables. Explained to her where she should head to when she gets to the park and which rides will be busy and which ones aren't too bad. Helped her with all the EMH information. It was really fun explaining to her all the Disney details!

She is finishing packing and will be loading up the vehicle this afternoon. She is doing the gallon sized baggies for her kids' clothes. She LOVED that idea.

Can't wait to find out how much fun they had!

How exciting! I hope they have a safe and fun trip. What a great sister to fill her in with all the ins and outs. How can they not have fun with all that info.

I love that first day of vacation jitters.....excited about going, making sure you have everything...will the weather be nice...can't wait to see _____ (fill in the blank)...

I am sure you gave her tons of information to help her out!! That's what sisters are for, right!?

Hope they have fun and I wish you were with them. But I wish I was with them also.

This was the trip you and Bethany were supposed to go on, right?

[Magical JenK]

Hopefully she'll call you from MK?! I always make my family members call from MK to make me feel like I'm there! Sorry you're not going this time, but just think of all the planning you get to do for next year!!

.... I know you wanted to go too Angela!

It may be time for a little Disney Vacation YouTube style!!

My brother is their with his family right now for their first Disney trip. I've been helping them plan and giving them all the "insider" tips since April. It's so fun to help plan and live vicariously through their trip!

So far they have loved all of their ADRs and have really appreciated the advice I gave them on the DDP, the parks, etc.

My requested thank you gift was simple.........daily phone calls with updates from their trip!

And he has called my every day and let me know how everything was going, I can't tell you how much I have looked forward to these calls and hearing the details of their trip while they were experiencing it!

Angela, make your sister promise to call you and share the magic with you! I hope they have a wonderful time (I'm sure that you are a bit nervous about that just like I was!).

[linanglab]

Yes....this was the vacation that Bethany and I were supposed to go on.... Instead, we get to start school next week and I get to start my first full week of work! LOL

She told me they would call me periodically to let me know how things are going, and call me with any info they might need!

I keep saying to myself....well, they are leaving in X amount of hours. She is probably bringing stuff downstairs to put in the car, she is probably packing up her snacks and cleaning up around the house. She is probably doing her last load of dishes and laundry.....pathetic I am, huh????

Because I am not going with them this time, I am really hoping Bethany and I will be able to go in April next year AND in August with the whole family. Money stinks right now, so time will tell!

Angela, I so understand. My oldest Sister and her DH is in Hawaii right now and I so wish I could be there too. DH and I were suppose to go a couple of years ago for our 25th wedding anniversary, but didn't want to leave the twins for that long.

I'm terrible as I haven't even unpacked my suitcases from Las Vegas yet and her I am already wishing I was on another trip! LOL.

Well, hopefully you'll be doing all of that planning for your family's visit really soon! And with the new job you'll be able to save even more.
