I wouldn't stress about the weather if you are a week out. Just days before we left last week, it was saying all day rains, 60% chance of thunderstorms, etc. We didn't have ONE drop of rain the entire week, and the temperature was perfect! Sending stars that your weather will be the same.

Don't worry about the weather. It always shows some sort of rain however only once have I seen it downpour. There are always quick showers at WDW mostly over night.
No worries just think your guy is having all the issues now so that when you join him everything will be perfect

Looks like you should have excellent weather for your visit. The humidity is very low right now and it looks like that trend will continue through your travel dates. When I got in the car to leave for work this morning it was a chilly 64 degrees (don't laugh...that is cold for us down here!) and the highs are in the mid to low 80s. Should be about perfect for you.

Whoo hooo!! Thanks for the local weather update! I just tossed a sweater in my bag, I always get chilly in Epcot at night with the breeze coming off of the lagoon.

mickey I've got 3 sleeps left to go but really only 2 days!!! Freaking. Out. mickey

I think that most everything for the trip is done. I bought my bus ticket and then checked my flight. United moved my departure time up by 2.5 Hours! And no one had contacted me. The earliest bus I can get on is at 3:30 in the morning, it gets to the airport at 5:00am, my flight now leaves at 6:30 am. gaah Do you guys think I have enough time? I'm usually at the airport 2 hours before you flight, but there's just not an earlier bus.

On the plus side, I just gained a few extra hours on my own in Disney! mickey

At that ungodly time of the morning, you should be OK, I can not envision too many people at the airport at that time of the AM. The key word in that sentence being SHOULD.

Becks534 talked to her fiancee (who travels almost weekly out of that airport) and both of them think I'll be fine. Thursday, stupid early, and I don't have to check any bags. Should be quiet at the airport still. crossfingers

Now... which park should I spend my extra time at? DHS seems closest.

My vote would go to Magic Kingdom but I just love wandering around that park! Have a great trip, Kristen!

Dear Tropical Storm Sandy... STAY AWAY from Central Florida. Far, far away.

Weather looks good right now with only a 30% chance of rain on Friday with 22mph winds from Sandy. I'm okay with wind and a 30% chance. It can stay just like that.

I've got less than 24 hours!! I leave for the airport tomorrow morning at 3am. I can't wait!!
yeah yeah yeah

Sleep? LOL... what's that?

Okay I just made some last minute changes. I canceled my Kouzinna reservation in favor of Whispering Canyon Cafe. I thought we would be at Epcot in the morning, but now it's looking like we're going to be at Magic Kingdom so I opted for something a little closer.

So much to do, so little time! I need to squeeze in a hair cut and the grocery store.

Aw man, I was looking forward to your Kouzinna review since I haven't heard much about that one yet! Whispering Canyon sounds delicious though, too! Have a great trip and safe travels!

Have a wonderful trip Kristen. After all the ups and downs the last few months, I hope it is full of pixie dust. I can't wait to hear about the Little Mermaid rooms.

Thanks everyone! I think I'm just about ready to go! Got my hair cut, finished packing my bags, picked up some last minute toiletries. I'm all set except for packing my computer up!

I checked in early for my flight and I'm boarding group 5 on the plane so. Yuck. I'm worried that I'm going to have to check my bag at the gate. I went to look for my Magical Express luggage tags and I think I threw them away! gaah Oh well, there are worse things than having to make a stop at baggage claim, no big deal.

Miss Mikki - I will absolutely do a trip report once I get home, and a little bit of live posting from WDW too!

Allie - I was really looking forward to Kouzzina too. I've just got such a limited time this trip I really need to make the most of it.

1:45am and I haven't really been able to sleep. Time to wake up in a few minutes.
I hope I can get a nap on the plane, or there's no way I'm going to be able to stay up for fireworks tonight. waiting
