At about 5:15, our group joined Cathy in her room to assemble the gift baskets we talked about putting together to share with our fearless leaders. It doesn’t take too long, and we soon have these enormous – and heavy – bags of wonderful gifts and delectable treats. We coordinate who will come by Cathy’s…

After the excitement of yesterday, sleep is a tough commodity to come by. So when I receive my Stitch wake up call at You Cannot Seriously Mean I Have To Get Up Now-thirty, the old bones don’t jump quite as quickly as they probably should have for such an exciting day! We are meeting this…

Are you SERIOUS? The castle suite is not the cherry on top of the cake here? Our dinner this evening was at the Crystal Palace – one of my favorite character meals. How can you not enjoy a meal when you are surrounded not only by 15 of your new BFFs, but also Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore,…

I head back to my room to check it out and get ready for the evening. I won’t lie to you – I am loving everyone I’ve met so far, but it takes a little while for me to come out of my shell. I’m worried they won’t like me! My room is lovely! It…

After a short flight from oh so cold Philly to perfectly comfortable Orlando, I wait in my seat on the plane for all of the passengers traveling with children under 5, those needing special assistance, anyone who is related by blood or marriage to a US Airways flight attendant, people under 5’4, men named Xavier,…

I am on my way! After a late night last night – a nice dinner with Jim on the way home from picking him up at the airport, I did my as usual incredibly diligent won’t forget a thing job of packing. That means I waited until around 11:30, and threw whatever I could find in…

I will be sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight from Philadelphia to board and take me to Orlando. As you all know, I’ve been to Orlando too many times to count. We lived there for 5 years, and we still consider the area a second home even though it’s more than 10 years…

I think WE are up at the crack of dawn, but by the time we wake up, Russell is already dressed and getting something to eat. I get a quick shower, then wake Jim, who’s lazy ass is still in bed instead of trying to get things ready. He wakes Brighid, who throws her clothes…

We still have to be up early, as we have to be at the airport at 8 AM. We are in the car and out the door in plenty of time, and we stop to grab a coffee on the way. Yay. We arrived at our gate and I think Holy cow, this is great!…

So Saturday rolls around. I get up, as I usually do, around 6:30. I go downstairs, check my email, load the dishwasher with the few things that were used the night before, and wake Jim. He goes downstairs, sees the mountain of unfolded socks, towels, and underwear on the love seat and says we are…
