A 35 year old dream come true

While still a few months off, I had to brag about my 35 year old dream coming true. Since the first time I visited WDW, I have dreamed about staying at the Contemporary.
Thanks to an understanding and loving wife, and a lot of hard work looking for good prices, we will be staying there from Feb 4-10. :D: I haven't been this excited since I was 5 years old seeing Mickey for the first time. (If you don't feel like doing the math, I'm 40.)
Since I know all the CMs will be outstanding as always, I promise to do my best to avoid showing up here during or after my visit.

Whoo-hoo!!! I'm going to try and stay at the Poly next year; that's always been a dream of mine. Enjoy your trip (and be nice to Zazu!! :) )

I was lurking the boards for awhile before I posted the first time and saw the forum for Zazu's tours. Unfortunately, I also saw where the were cancelled. I was going to ask him for one until I read that. :(

Yeah, much as I'd love to, it looks like I'll have to retire again before I can resume the tours. :mad:

Well, in spite of that, I'm hoping to run into you. The way you handle SG's is so hilarious, I want to be able to put a face to the legend. :)

Resurrecting my original thread to say it is now only ten days away. My biggest issue now is how to make it until then...

Exciting, isn't it? The anticipation is almost as much fun as the realization.
I'm at 97 days and counting (May 3rd arrival date).

Also, I bought my SGT button to wear during the trip. If you see a 6'1" geeky looking guy with a flat top, that's me.

You have your transportation to the hotel set up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know... either Magical Express or a rental car...
But my car is more fun and more comfortable... unless you have five people...
