Well, we are down to the last 17 days before DW and I leave for WDW. She is aware that we are going to Disney for her birthday, but she does not know about the birthday surprises I have in store for her.
This past two weeks have been horrible. I was hospitalized with an appendicitis, which was removed last Friday (11/6). This of course made the DW think that we would have to cancel our trip. I told her that I will be having breakfast with Mickey if it kills me. My best friend was supposed to come with us, but he broke his leg sliding down the pole at the Firehouse (we are both firefighters). So it has slowly been one disaster after another.
First, the Disney Florist has been enlisted to decorate room at ASMo with the Mickey Welcome Package. I know it is expensive, but she deserves it. After 15 hours in the car with me, I may have to run to the liquor store for her!!!
We will be using the free birthday ticket on her birthday after we have breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at Ohana. Little does she know that her parents will be casually browsing the gift shop after we eat. They are driving down the day after we leave home. This ought to be a great surprise for her (they like to spend $$ on her). The fibbing to her for the past month has been the hardest part. She believes that my secretary and her DH are coming :ROFLOL:. I almost slipped while I was on all those good surgery drugs.
She is extremely happy that we got all of the ADRs that we wanted. Her lunch at Cinderella Castle, dinner at Le Cellier, breakfast with Lilo and Stich, MVMCP, and hopefully, tickets to the taping of the 2009 Christmas Day Parade:shrug:.
Of course, she is concerned with my health (still healing from surgery), so any diversion about Disney I can make is aiding in my recovery. I have been playing YouTube clips for her and we have watched every Disney special on the Travel Channel at least four times this month (DVR is a great thing).
This will be my third trip to Disney. DW converted me after going 3 years ago. I always said, "Disney is for little kids." How wrong was I? I am as excited as a zoo animal at feeding time. We were engaged in EPCOT in 2007, had our honeymoon at WDW in 2008, and have made it our new annual tradition!
I will keep you updated from I-95 South in about two weeks. Pray for those Christmas Parade tickets!!!
