I don't know about you guys but this countdown seems to be taking forever....
Finally, it was Saturday 11th July and we could say '99 Days till our holiday'
Nat, John, Ellie and Matthew arrived shortly after 11 all wearing Disney/Orlando t-shirts. Great minds think alike as we had all put Disney t-shirts on too (with the exception of Sian who was still in her pyjamas following her late night at Prom the night before).
While the ribs and chicken strips were cooking, we had time for a couple of games - Disney Bingo and Pass the Parcel.
Then it was time for yummy food - you may notice there was a bit of a theme...
Cornbread, by special request - first time making it, first time eating it - it was delish!
Mickey cookies
Ice-cream sundae toppings
After lunch, we watched a few DVDs of previous visits to WDW and also a couple of planning DVDs, a couple more games of Disney Bingo and another round of Pass the Parcel.
A bit more food and a few sherbets later and it was time for cake....
Finally, the (younger) kids are despatched to bed and the Bad Mothers breathe a sigh of relief
We had a great weekend and even managed to get a bit of planning done. Roll on 26th July, when we can make our ADRS

Great update, girls. The party looked fantastic - especially the cake!
I think you will love AKL, we did, and I'm sure the kids will come around when they see the animals so close up

The double digits party is a great idea! I think my sister and I need to do that for our trip as well.

I will post the recipe for the cornbread later, however, I have to say that it is a US recipe so all the measurements are in cups. I had to guess a lot of it as I didn't have a conversion table. Still tasted OK though

well i dont so can you post the conversions when you work them out please !Only just started reading this thread - the title caught my eye!
Had such a laugh reading this at work (tut tut!) and burst out laughing about the sausage and mash comment!
I bet you can't wait to go - it sounds like a wonderful friendship and I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time.
I go away to London for the weekend every year with my 2 best friends and we do as much planning as this!
