Allll Aboard!!! The Wests are heading South!

We are packed and ready to hit the road! DH is driving us to Union Station soon for our 7:30 train to Orlando. We are as ready as we will ever be! I will be attempting to update this TR a little as we go since we will have WiFi in our room at POFQ.
Cast of Characters
Me!
DD-Peyton (14)
DS-Cannon (12)

Checking in on Monday afternoon after a short trip to Jacksonville for an overnight visit with friends.
Checking out Saturday am and leaving on the train at 7:30 pm.

I will let you all know how the train ride goes. We are prepared with snacks (I love snacks!!), my Kindle Fire with the second season of Downton Abby downloaded, along with a laptop, dvd player, Nintendo Dsi, and assorted Ipods. We should not be bored. Hopefully, there will be some sleeping as well!

Plans are:
Monday night-? Possibly DTD or more likely a quick stop at MK...
Tuesday-AK...dinner at WCC
Wednesday-Epcot...dinner at R&C.
Thursday-DHS...dinner at 50's PTC
Friday-MK...lunch at Tony's...Firework Dessert Party!
Saturday-Check out...breakfast at 1900 PF, then whatever we want til 5.

Thanks everyone for helping me out with choices along the way. It seems like we have been planning forever and we are so excited to finally be on our way!
See you real soon!
