Planning, anticipating and open school.

These past few days have been busy with the preparations for our trip to Disney and trying to plan most parts of our stay there. We have our travel package and this includes flights, accomodation and park tickets, built into this we also have meal tickets and that has been a large part of the planning in itself. Where to have our dining experiences have been a tricky proposition as we needed to plan at which park we would be at each day and assign our table service within that day. It was recommended that we should take in the Fantasmic show at MGM and that the best way to get good seats was to do the dining experience attached to that, so when booking our table priority seating fantasmic was requested by us, we had to juggle our park visit dates but it was eventually decided upon. After the dining and park visitations were settled upon the next thing is to decide which rides we can all go on, Marc being autistic would be too scared to go on some rides. He has, of late taken to more medium speed rollercoast type rides so this is the area we plan on doing. Still With 4 full days and 4 full parks we will have our hands full. Its really cool that we have the Saw Doctors gig on friday to look forward to as an appetizer for our month of October although they are more that just a starter in a meal they are more like our entree and Disney is the dessert.
Marc had open school last thursday, this was a unique way for Jill and myself in particular to get a feel for what Marc's daily routine at school is like and for us to get a feel for the teachers who will be working with him. They all seemed very nice and towards to end of the get together a male teacher Mr. Frank basically "sharked" me latching onto my faint accent and asking "is that an Irish accent I hear"...I am always glad to hear that question as it means I have not completely lost my Irish accent. We did proceed to have a very nice chat where he said Ireland and its people were very lovely to him and very welcoming and loved to hear about where he came from and what he did for a living and most general stuff you may ask a person in converstaion. We talked even more and end then even some more when it was pretty apparent that the other teachers wanted to wrap up the night. I gave him and extensive list of movies either set in Ireland or about Ireland and then it was time to leave. I bet the other teachers were happy that our chat came to an end.!!! It was a good night and a good visit but lots of cars in the parking lot from all the other parents going to all the other classes.
