The week prior to our trip there were a few things that tried to throw off our Disney vacation:
1. Rain was predicted the entire week we were to be there.
2. My DH decided it was a good time to adopt a dog.
3. There was some serious Cub Scout drama going on in our pack (ridiculous right?)
4. My sinuses decide to stage a coup.
5. My computer and printer give out while trying to print all of the fantabulous DISigns that some incredibly amazing people created for our vacation.
While not even close to becoming show stoppers, it did make for a week from H-E-double hockey sticks (pardon my language
)
First, we prayed for the rain to go away, then we had to figure out what to do with the dog. Trying to get a kennel on such short notice was not going to be a fun task. Not to mention vet visits. He was a "free to a good home" little beagle. Sadly, at just one year old, we were already his fourth family. This little guy needed love and stability so we took him with us. We managed to get him in the facility there on way short notice and into the vet for necessary vaccinations.
Next, we prayed for the rain to go away again. Shortly after that we decided that the drama can be dealt with by someone else. This was not the Senate. It was Cub Scouts for pete's sake.
Lastly, there was the computer issue. Can't a girl catch a break here?!?! After a little pouting and a whole lot of grumbling my DH suggested we take everything to Staples. Why didn't I think of that!!! He's a genius!!!
He takes me out Staples to get it all done only to find out that NONE of my files saved properly. Are you kidding me!!!!! This was obviously some force of nature trying to keep me from this trip. I head over to Best Buy to find my family and pout some more when a lovely employee suggests we try using their computers there and see if it will work. WHAT? Are you serious? So I go to work and presto change-o we are in business!!! I run back to Staples and, while my fonts were not the same, at least my boys were not going to have princesses on their journals and we got everything printed out!!
Sinuses......oh for the love of all that is right in this world......I was blessed with horrid ones that can predict weather better than the weatherman. If there's going to be a change in the weather I'm on it! I'm a human barometric pressure indicator. Enter the zyrtec, flonase, and tylenol. I won't go down without a fight!!! This is about the time my husband breaks the news of our departure time to me...........I'd like to be on the road by 0700
......did I mention that he told me this at around midnight and I still wasn't done packing.
Fast forward through something that resembled sleep and a mad scramble to finish loading the camper before the rain started.....WE ARE ON OUR WAY!!!
We drove to Savannah, GA and stopped for the night. That was pretty uneventful. The next morning my head was about to explode. I needed more Tylenol. We managed to find the only Target in the world that was completely out of it! Seriously. Not one bottle of tylenol to be found. Did I miss a recall or something? Grabbed a bottle of store brand and we hit the road. FORT WILDERNESS OR BUST!!!!!
blah blah blah.
We've never camped at WDW but love it elsewhere and figured why not give it a shot
