No problem. I'm just one of those odd people that don't have a photobucket or shutterfly or other account to upload from!
Ok, time for some fun to get us excited about our upcoming trips! This is sort of a QOTD, but instead it will be a picture of the day. Today let's start off with Spaceship Earth since so many of us are sadly finding out it will be down during our trips. So, post your favorite SE pics (and feel free to suggest a different location tomorrow!)
This is one of my favorites from a 2009 trip:
. This is the best of the bunch, and its nothing to write home about. Also circa 2009....I can hardly believe how much we've changed in 4 years. I hardly recognize Jake without his beard!
Oh my oh my how plans and expectations can change...
As I had mentioned, my upcoming trip was to be my sister, my kids and I. Especially looking forward to it since losing our mom last month. Well...my sister has since gotten custody of her 15 month old grandson and will not be able to make the trip this yearMy heart broke when she told me since I know she had been looking forward to going to Disney for the very first time.
Now, for a quick bit of info on me, relevant to the rest of the story, not to long ago I had reconnected with my 'first love' from when I was 18. We had been together for 3 years when went our separate ways and had our own lives. He contacted me and we started talking and realized we still had feelings for each other (aww
) and have since gotten back together. Well, my sister suggested taking him in her place; oops, I hadn't even thought of that
.
I had felt bad originally because I was planning on leaving on August 23rd to drive down to FL. The 23rd is his b-day so it was like, "happy birthday we're leaving for 2 weeks, have fun home alone." Of course he had understood that this was planned before he was in the picture so he wasn't worried about it. Well, now I get to tell him that he can go! Talk about mixed emotions, heart broken that my sister cant go, but happy that he can go...what a roller coaster lately LOL
So later on I get to break the news to him, call Disney and change guests, rearrange ADR's and celebrations and basically start planning all over again
And happy "re-planning'! At least you have something to do while we're all wondering how to pass the next 70 days!!! lol
Well, I have something new to countdown for and obsess over!I am planning on running the Tinkerbell 1/2 in January. I am so up in the air over so many aspects of this trip, but the big one right now is that I'm stressing over getting in!! The registration for the Princess 1/2 opened yesterday, and with it they introduced a new C2C challenge. I am planning on doing the C2C with W&D in November 2014, but this one is a special pink princessy type one, so a ton of people jumped on it. They also introduced the Glass Slipper Challenge which is a 10k one day and the 1/2 the next. Well, the GSC is already sold out and the Princess is at 50%, AND if you opted for the special C2C, you could do a special early registration for Tink yesterday. Tink doesn't officially open up until July 9, but a lot of people already have their spots by going this route. So now I'm panicking it's going to sell out super fast! I'll be sitting by the computer on July 9, obsessing....27 days to go! I am also debating adding on the Neverland 5k, which sells out instantly, so I really need to make that decision too.
Then I need to figure out the rest of this trip. I've never been to DL before, so it's all very new. The biggest decision I need to make is whether to do this trip with or without the boys. With requires them missing two days of school, it will be very $$$$, and obviously we (DW is running too) won't be able to totally focus on ourselves for race prep. Also, if they do come, I will allow DS12 to run Neverland, so I'll need to be set with that decision by July 8th. If I don't bring them the guilt might kill meWhat to do, what to do?!?!
) Need to add a new countdown for me too! 
All paid off , I did not do the dining plan since we are going to a few non Disney parks during our stay, they should really give you a option of how many days you would like the dining plan like they do with park tickets

Spaceship Earth closing for refurb for a week in August. We LOVE Spaceship Earth. Luckily for us it will reopen 2 days after we get there but I thought I would put it in here in case it affects any of your trips. I think we're probably the only people who would be hugely disappointed if it was closed though
The dates of our trip mean we will miss ALL four rides! We are totally bummed. I don't think it's too unusual for Disney to start refurbishments after a busy summer season winds down. What suprised me, though, was the length of some of these downtimes. Three of the rides will be down at least three weeks to over a month long. Yikes!
Wow, that's good to hear. I hope lunch service is just as easy.
I've read about long lines for lunch, so I hope it isn't as bad as we are expecting!
