waiting for a train to go, or a bus to come, or a plane to go…
Ahhh!! I’m at the point where I’ve done all the planning I can do, flights booked, resorts, room request, touring plans, back up touring plans, dining, back up dining, breaks, budgets, transportation. Now I’m just waiting…and it’s so hard!!!

Seems like it’s going to go by so fast!! But, I’ll just be happy to be in WDW with my family. This trip will be a much needed escape and I want to make sure we balance relaxation/swimming/rest with enjoying the parks and food, so if we let go of some of these plans as we go that will be fine.
