I must countdown with others. 50 Days!!
The girls I work with just don't understand. Actually I am driving them nuts. Went out and bought Disney Christmas scrubs.
Makes me worse to deal with when I get e-mails from YC planners. I received one today! They made my California Grill ADR for Fri. Jan 18! I love Club Level so far. (first time in hotel).
I quess I will babble on and give a mini-pre-trip report.

Travelers: Me (Charleen) & DH - sending DS14 to my sister in Wisconson, DS17 to Grandparents in Ohio. Poor kids, do your homework or your parents won't take you to WDW.

Reason to Go - Hmmm, Lots - Hubby grew up in Vero Beach went lots as a kid. But I'm the Princess freak. Moved from Florida 3.5 years ago and miss WDW lots. Need a break from reality of our very stressful life this past year.

Planning only started about - 25 days ago. Originally kids were going to go with us until report cards and attitudes came out.

Resort - Ressie origanially for WL Club level, but coworker said check with travel office on base to see what price we could get. They beat Disney's quote by $400 and it was for YC! No brainer in my book. I was very surprised.

Airline - Longest and most stressful planning of all. We had for comp. tickets from Airtran. They were given in March of this year from very inconvienent layover in WPB, FL. First phone call to claim 3 of the 4 RT flights. Computer said we had no comp tickets. I had certificate in hand, had to fax to them. Next day called to book flights. Can't book - can only do 60 days out. Called back 60 days, not yet, must be 60d of return flight. Again called back, they graceciously booked DS14 RT to WI. But due to capacity control, could not book DH and I. Went shopping. Called customer service later, blah,blah,blah, lots of talking, boohooing and threat to pay for a ticket on Southwest, I got my 2 seats, nonstop on the flights that I wanted. But not in the mood to argue that the original 2 seats from WPB were business class and thats what I wanted. I'll do that at the airport. I don't like Southwest's cattle call seating & lack of business class or i'd fly them more often. Airtran is currently on my nerve
