3 more sleeps...

Remember the Disney commercial where the kids can't sleep - then the adults can't sleep all because they are going to Disney World the next day...

Well this is us....except it is still 3 sleeps till Disneyland.  

Unfortunately I have a to do list that is about a mile long.  It also seems like as soon as I cross one item off the list I add 2 more to the bottom.

Thankfully the kids are packed, and hubby is packed, so it's just me and all the other non-clothing crap.

We have all our reservations made for meals.  Some of those we are trying...

Rainforest cafe

Storytellers breakfast

Goofy's dinner

Ariel's Grotto

Surf's up breakfast

Minnie's breakfast

Carthay Circle

Steakhouse 55

Cafe Orleans

Naples

Oh and at some point DH must have In-N-Out.  We have decided to take some snacks with us...pop tarts, granola bars, cold fish, animal crackers, fruit pouches, etc.  just to save one some snacks for the kids.

I am really going to try and update this blog as our trip progresses so that way I won't have to try and do it after (yeah I still don't have our trip from Feb up and going - lol)

Well, it's time to get to sleep so I will only have 2 sleeps left!

It all starts with a wish....

Have you ever wished you could win a free vacation?

Well, I won a trip to Disneyland.  Well ACTUALLY I won a trip to my choice...Disney World or Disneyland.  Cool eh?

Upon talking to some people they were amazed that I wouldn't choose WDW.  Well the truth is uhm I won the trip in January, and we already had a 8 night trip planned in Feb....so we decided to mix it up a bit.

One thing you much know - everyone thinks a free vacation is awesome, so let me assure you it is TOTALLY awesome (SQUEE)  there are a few drawbacks....

• If you are a larger family you must pay for them out of pocket (555 for one ticket for DH to fly as our 5th...and thankfully our 5th was Eve and she is 2 so parks, room, food at buffets....well she still gets for free)
• Other expenses...ie kennel for our dogs, money to vaccinate said dogs because their kennel cough vaccine runs out 2 weeks before our trip, money to extend our trip by a few days (figured why not since we are already there), parking at the airport.
• Taxes on the trip....hopefully it isn't that bad....hopefully...lol (I will update you)

So we have everything - our travel vouchers for the bus to take us from the airport to Disneyland and back, dogs have their boarding reservations, pins for trading have been bought, stroller tires are aired up (still on the fence as to take it or not).  But we are no where ready to actually go yet....

I have a small packing list...well 4 pages so far 

• one for meds (which I had to buy pill versions of for the flight - I figure we would use it anyway at some point either her or there so I might as well get some just in case) 
• one for stuff in the carry on
• one for clothes
• one of things I still need to buy

On top of all of this I am knee deep in my semester of grad school and I have homework due tonight, so that's it from me tonight - see ya tomorrow :)
