Hadn't bought WDW ticket for Mom yet. But our last conversation was me texting her: "what color magic band do you want for disney?"
Her reply: "Pink"
She passed away Sunday morning.
I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad your Dad will be able to go and you will still be able to have some fond memories of the trip. I'm sure your Mom will be looking down on you all.
I'm so sorry, Jen. There are no words except I'm so sorry.
I hope you and your dad have a great time in January. Get the pink band anyway. Take her with you in your heart. Do the things your mom would have wanted to do. She will be there with you. I hope this trip is a good time for you and your dad to laugh together.

Thanks Amy and cy.
It will be a bittersweet trip no doubt. Siblings are considering joining the trip. And we'll all sport pink magic bands in Mom's honor.

14 days for us.
This is a mini trip for us to spend some alone time (read as sorry kids you can't come this time) and see the Osborne Lights.

The lights! I am definitely missing those this year. So pretty and just not the same in videos or pictures. Enjoy!

Plane leaves to Disney World in 28 days and 8 hours. Just 3 short weeks of suffering... errr school to survive between now and then. Of course that also includes 5 exams

I just booked a trip for my sis: she'll be there in 34 days.
I love being an agent, just gotta make it actually pay my bills so I can cut my day job back to 30 hours a week!

Erm.. -9?
Oh well, back to watching videos of things instead, then.
Not a video I took, but I'll just leave this here anyway, because it's awesome: Disney Dreams of Christmas 2014

60 days today. I stupidly stayed up to midnight last night to pick FastPasses. Got the ones I wanted, but probably could have done that this morning and gotten more sleep. Is it Friday yet?

It's never to early to start planning for the sleep deprivation you will experience staying in the parks from morning EMH to evening EMH!

I need to convince myself to go to WDW for the Christmas season in 2016. I have a friend who has a timeshare down in Orlando so if I go, I'd stay with her and just get tickets to Magic, Epcot and Hollywood Studios so I can finally see the Osbourne Lights. I've always wanted to get to see it in the Christmas time and I've seen Disneyland plenty of times for the holidays. Also, when I go next September, I'm going to see if I can get tickets for the MNSSP so I can experience that.
This is what I get for already having one WDW trip planned and I want to do another one.

Much like potato chips, one is never enough
I'm wondering what will be happening with the Osborne Lights when the Star Wars construction takes over? I'm hoping they find a new home because I would be super sad to see them go
