Red face Don't you hate waiting.

Don't you hate waiting for all your travel documents to arrive. Last year the first official Disney (was first day of cruise) was 12/7. My documents finally arrived 11/22.

This year my first official Disney day is 11/26. If I count correctly, I 'ought' to get my documents 11/11 (+/- Veterans Day holiday).

I don't like waiting :

I rec'd one set of DME but need one other for Laygoon. I should have it this week. I'm checking and rechecking my schedule. Made lots of changes. I definitely will be getting use out of the park hopper option of my ticket. I even made an ADR change today without trouble.

I also got the suitcase out. Time to get packing. Now if we only had a crystal ball about the weather. I'm anticipating jeans and t-shirts with a jacket.

I don't like waiting either and for the second year in a row my documents will most likely be waiting for me when I get back from Texas. *Sigh*

I hate the waiting too. I was listening to the Disney Brit podcast on the way into work yesterday and heard "We Go On" from IllumiNations - immediately I was crying, thinking "I want to go home NOW!" I'm keeping going with things like wrapping Christmas presents and sorting out Christmas cards.
