I've never even been to Florida.
But next month, because someone at Disney cares about what I think as a "Mommy Blogger", I will be making my first trip down there.
A by-myself, no-kids, 3-day get away.
Oh, and it's completely on them. The fine, fine, fine folks at Disney!
I'll get to meet my blogging buddy Musings Of A Housewife finally for the first time. She asked if they could put us in the same room. And they said No!
WE GET OUR OWN ROOMS!
What ever will we do with ourselves?
I am excited about the plane ride. I am excited about staying at the Walt Disney World Beach Club Resort. I am giddy about taking the short bus trip alone to the airport!!!
I am worried I won't want to come home.
Photo is of Gray, age 6 months, April 2006. : )
How fun!! I LOVE Disney World, and you'll be happy to know that after visiting there 16 times, that the Beach Club is by far my favorite resort there. And I've stayed in them all. I'm so excited for you, let me know if you want any advice on must sees! Oh and swing by my blog, I've tagged you (sorry!) :) By the way, Gray is really just too cute in that picture.
ReplyDeleteOh, how FUN! You are going to have a blast. And without kids or anyone, just a girlfriend?!?
ReplyDeleteGray is SO cute. I love the twinkle in his eyes!
That sounds like SO much fun. AND, you are going with dcrmom so it will be a blast I am sure for both or you!
ReplyDeleteThat picture is so cute!!
BTW, you re-inspired me to "wear" my baby again today. I had put my slings somewhere besides the car and finally got one out to hip carry my 10month old, it was the best!
See you soon!
So fun! My sister and her family just got back from Disney world! You are going to love it! Florida is great!
ReplyDeleteso exciting! Have fun... Disney does everything right!
ReplyDeleteCOOL! That is soo awesome! You're such a grown up, I'd be so afraid of going to the airport alone!
ReplyDeleteOh, How FUN! Say hello to Cinderella for me.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW....you lucky, lucky, lucky girls!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute picture of your pumpkin.
Oh my gosh! I am soooo jealous. I am a lover of all things Disney and Disneyland/World.
ReplyDeleteI have known people who have worked for them, either at the park or in the studios, and love learning about the ins and outs.
I spent my honey moon there [preggers which meant restrictions on the rides] and did tons of research. If you want any tidbits or anything! Let me know.
There is so much you can do at Disney World. It would take at least a month to do it all if not longer.
Ok...so I could go on and on so I think I will stop now.
Not only alone on the bus but the plane too! WOW. So exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself! Don't call home too much! Enjoy yourself, stay busy and get rest whenever you want to!
ReplyDeletelucky u! i may get to travel to Las Vegas in sept on a trip for blogging stuff. very cool :-)
ReplyDeletecant believe how tiny gray is in tha tpic, so sweet
Wow, that sounds like so much fun!! And dcrmom is one of my FAVE bloggers (in addition to you, of course!).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear all about it!
Woohooo!!!!! I can't seem to wipe the huge cheesy grin off my face! :-)
ReplyDeleteI had this taste a couple weeks ago....and it was so nice and refreshing. You'll come back a better mom, trust me!
ReplyDeleteLori
I'm so excited for them! If you get the chance, tell them they need more nursing moms rooms in the parks. I hope we get to meet up while you're here.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Have fun!

How fun! And so exciting that you get to me dcrmom!!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!

ReplyDeleteI can't think of someone who could deserve it more. Have a wonderful time.
I'll carry ALL your bags if I can come along!
ReplyDeleteAaaacccckkk!!! How cool! I gotta figure out how to encourage people to give me free stuff for blogging!
ReplyDeleteHave an INCREDIBLE weekend (get it?) Disney is such fun for adults, and I'm sure you'll be itching to take the kids soon, now... And what a great trip for a pregnant mom!

I'm seriously jealous. I love Disney. So does my son. He'd kill me if I got to go without him though. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?! Wow. That's great! I hope you have a great time.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has been to Disney World more than a dozen times, I can definitely say it's most fun either with a group of crazy friends, or with kids. Pretty much the same, eh?
