As I write this, I'm less than 48 hours away from leaving for Disneyworld. My travelling companions (sister and two young nephews) drive in tomorrow. (Due to the ridiculous Wright Amendment, it was cheaper to fly Southwest from here, and we can get a direct flight.) Bruce will take us to the airport around lunchtime on Sunday.
When I was growing up, I would often get sick right before an exciting event or trip. It used to drive Bruce nuts (this persisted into my college years). With much patience and time, he taught me how to get over it and just get on with the trip.
I am sorry to report that "trip flutters" are back. And this is not a good thing, since I have several work-related items I need to finish before leaving. Hopefully things will settle down soon.
We found out that Star Tours (a favorite ride of our group) just recently re-opened after a long refurbishment. And in June, Hollywood Studios has "Star Wars Weekends." So we'll plan to spend at least part of next Friday there.
My sister managed to find an online grocery store that will deliver to our Disney hotel. So we'll get some breakfast and snack items at much better prices than at the park. We have a meal plan for other meals.
We've been watching the weather carefully, and so far (knock wood), all looks good. I don't mind it raining while we're there; I just don't want the hassle of weather-related flight delays.
What I'm looking forward to the most: spending time with my precious nephews, of course. As far as rides/attractions go, I want to ride Everest (not there the last time I was there), Star Tours, Haunted Mansion and my all-time favorite, Space Mountain. 9-year-old nephew Thor has almost snookered me into Tower of Terror, which I swore I would never ride again.
All that's left is the packing!
