94 days till we check into the Contemporary! I'm hoping to turn Chuy into a huge fan this trip. Happy new year everyone. I'm here hanging with my two kitties while Chuy is at the restaurant. I'm still a little sick so I'm not going to join him. Gonna watch Bravo's Andy Cohen and guest ring in the new year. Be safe everyone!
Step out to your left please. When the car stops, step out to your left.

I could have gone today to ring in the new year at DLR but considering I didn't come home from celebrating New Years with my best friends until around 5am, I didn't want to get up. Plus I'm still trying to get over my cough and I didn't want to risk getting swamped with a huge crowd again like last year.

The best I can calculate... the plane should take off in about 113 hours. Six days and five nights at the WL with the half marathon right in the middle.

Smart thinking, I'm guessing today was super crowded!

Ooooh! I bet you're getting excited! Is it just you running the marathon or do you have a posse

Actually, my mother said it wasn't THAT bad when she went. When we went either last year or the year before, it was pretty crowded.

I would just think that with the weather having been bad the week before, and it being a holiday, and a weekend at that

the place would have been jam-packed!

It is just me (and 20,000 close friends). Since this is my first half marathon it is probably better that it is just me. I won't be trying to keep up with anyone and I can just run at my own pace and enjoy it.

There is a chance DW and I will be there in June...and will be there during the Star Wars Weekend...which means getting to see the new Star Tours. We will make sure we are not there on the actual Star Wars Weekend days though because I'm sure the crowd levels will be insane and not worth it.

Are you a Star Wars fan? I am excited to hear what the new Star Tours will look like ~ I missed going on that attraction this time

It's alright Amy... you're a passholder now. You'll be back this year and you can ride it!
