It is neat that so many people will be heading out to WDW in just a few days! Hope y'all end up packing just enough, but not too much

I agree that it is a bit difficult to know what to pack when you are heading from really cold temps to hot during the day, colder at night temps in Florida. I think DL will be a little easier as I think there won't be a big difference between the daytime and nighttime temps. It might be a bit chillier up by my brother's when we get up to northern Cali, but if it is too cold, I can borrow a sweatshirt or just stay inside

Down to 1 month!

Still hoping Figment regains her strength soon!!

Super excited for everyone!!!
Two weeks for me. I sort of hate the two week mark, too early to actively pack but just enough time to actively stress about everything I need to do but can't start on yet!!!
I did get the suitcase out and pack a couple of things. It pretty much when like this: Step 1 open suitcase. Step 2 remove cat. Step 3 add a few shorts since we don't need them here at home. Step 4 remove other cat. Step 5 remove third cat. Step 6 remove shorts and let the cats have the suitcase.

Well, maybe start a pile somewhere other than your suitcase of possible packable items!

I'm thinking the cats would instinctively shift to that pile instead of the suitcase ~ they seem to be very crafty critters!
