Only 5 days until I set foot in my home park again! I'm so excited - I haven't been since 2010, can't wait to see the DCA makeover in person. My 3 yo son is dying to see Carsland, pirates and anything Star Wars. My 5 yo daughter loves everything. She cracks me up not willing to try Mickey's Death Wheel but she want's to ride California Screaming - she was sad when I told her she wasn't tall enough yet - "But I want to ride the loop de loop!"

What was a trying to squeeze in one day trip around end of school year events here at home and a family wedding Memorial Day in CA became a skip the last week of school 4 days at DLR trip! The kids don't know yet they think they get only one day in the parks. My daughter keeps saying "there's lots of stuff, maybe we should go more then one day".

I'm relieved to see the temps are supposed to go down next week. My son in 100+ degrees he would melt, he over heats easy and DL is mostly outdoor lines. He just turns bright red looks like he has a horrible sunburn. And you have to constantly fight with both of them to drink more liquids.

My mom is thrilled to see Tom Sawyer's Island again. Everyone grew and wouldn't go over there anymore with her but my kiddos are really looking forward to it. They are ready to run around looking for pirates and treasure.

So much to do before we fly out in just 4 days! I'm totally procrastinating though - haven't packed a thing yet!

Carsland, Carsland, Carsland! That's all I'm saying! We LOVED Carsland! I think it is without a doubt the BEST themed land in any Disney park I have been to! You really do feel like you've stepped into the movie. I teared up for the first time looking down Route 66 because THAT is what a land is supposed to look like! It is so well done. Have a blast! :)

We leave for CA in 10 days, but we won't get to DCA and DL until the 27th. Started bringing down suitcases from the attic already though! In my husband's mind this is a trip to visit his relatives, and we just happen to be making a stop for 2 days at DL. In **MY** mind, this is a trip to DL and we just happen to be visiting his relatives too! LOL

Check the refurb schedule. PotC is still down and Tom Sawyers Island has been taken over by pirates.
Thanks for the tip. I did check and I'm disappointed POTC is down but I'm hoping the Pirate stuff at TSI will be enough to keep my son happy.

We fly out this evening. My son's first trip on an airplane and might as well be my DD's since the last time she was 18 months. They are both bouncing off the walls in excitement. Now I know why people surprise their kids with trips the anticipation is driving them crazy. Right now my husband has both of them at America's Best getting my DD's glasses fixed as today was the perfect day for a wrestling match in my kid's opinions an my DD's glasses didn't make it.

Almost all packed and ready to go.
