I didn't think I would like not having a rental car, but I found that it was GREAT. No need to worry about getting lost. Plus after a long park day you can just sit on the bus and zone out. I suppose it can be a pain if the buses are running late or something, but I've never waited more than like 15 min.

I love leaving the driving to Disney! It's so nice to not have to worry about where you parked the car.

I forgot about that other plus. I can't even find my car in the mall parking lot. Of course that might be because I park at Herberger's and always think I have parked at Macy's.

I can't wait to hear about the reveal.

My DH is the same way, he always thinks we HAVE to have a car and then it sits the whole time....well most times we fly into Sanford, so we do have to have one, but when we used ME one year, he thought he would die without a car.

This is true. I always take a picture of the license plate and the parking section when I'm at WDW. I get nervous about not being able to find the car. Plus waiting for the trams... no thank you.

I'm hoping Arben will like this form of travelling.

Thanks for the pixies!

And believe me, it hasn't been easy keeping the secret. We'll see if it was worth it.

Thanks! I'll post a pic tomorrow but basically anything disney themed: crayons, coloring books, playing cards, notepads, etc.

You're welcome. I was very saddened by the loss of Stefanie and having gone through the loss of my grandma not long ago, I kind of understood your pain.

Sorry for not updating but it has been a crazy couple of days. My kids have lots of exams this week plus Abniel has his First Communion test on Friday, so there has been lots of studying going on around here. I cannot wait for the last day of school, this year has been very tough.

Instead of going to the outlets on Sunday we went on Saturday. I bought a couple of shirts for myself for the trip. I was also able to buy the boys the t-shirts for their surprise. I had Arben take them someplace else while I shopped at the Disney store. Then yesterday I went to Party City and bought a couple of things for them. I also bought myself some bermuda jeans and two swimsuit tops.

Arben’s family keeps nagging us and asking if we aren’t going to travel this year. Just this past Sunday my MIL asked. I don’t understand the need to ask every couple of days. It’s getting annoying. I’m a very private person and don’t like people knowing my every move.

Only two more days until the reveal. I’m so excited!!! I promise tomorrow I’ll post pictures of what I got each kid and of the card I made them. But here’s a list of what I got them:

· Disney themed t-shirts
· Cars socks and Mickey Mouse socks (Abniel & Adriel)
· Mickey Mouse coloring books (Abniel & Adriel)
· lanyards
· notepads
· Mickey Mouse silly bandz (Abniel & Adriel)
· word search book (AJ)
· Disney crayons (Abniel & Adriel)
· regular socks (AJ)

As you see the youngest two have more things than AJ but that is because he’s a “big boy” and doesn’t really like anything cartoonish. But he does like Disney and that’s what’s important.



54 days to go

I totally understand the nagging inlaws, however, mine are getting much much better. Anyway, if they don't get the hint the first time then they should just stop asking all together, or tell your husband to deal with them.
