We are leaving for a week long trip tp Orlando on Sat. So looking forward to time away. Should be interesting as my parents are taking my whole family of 5 and my sister and bil. We are staying in a 3 room condo. I looked at the weather and it shows rain. I am hoping that they weather changes as much there as it does here. I would hate to have Rain everyday!! For those that live there can the weather change quickly? Should I take more cash or travelers checks? Any must see spots!! Since it is Halloween Time they have a special parade, trick or treating and fireworks at night. The boys are Dopie and Grumpy and Rachel will be Snow White. The rest of us adults will all be dwarfs too. I am sneezy!! LOL Will be a bittersweet trip as my dad has cancer and is starting to run out of options and my parents wanted us to all take this trip before he gets more sick.

I have 2 cooking and I catalog show to close prior to leaving so I hope my hosts finish up.
 
Wish you luck sounds like you guys will have a good time for great memories take alot of pictures of your kids and your dad I have pictures of my grandfather before he pasted with my children and i look at them often and wished we could of done it sooner but i am totally greatful for the memories that i have with him... On with your hostess i am feeling the same i am wanting to get qualifed and one of my hostess i can't seem to connect with her since her show. I will have met both qualifing 4 shows and 1250.00 in sales. I will keep my fingers crossed for your hostess maybe it will give me luck with one of my hostess as well.
 
Stacie,
I live in the St. Pete area near the beach(gulf side) and the weather does change quickly. It can be just beautiful sunny weather here near the beach and pouring rain just across the bridge in Tampa. Orlando is a little warmer (or should I say more humid) but this time of year is very nice down here, actually an overcast day makes it nice to get out and do some things.
I would bring light jackets just in case, but it looks like the upper 80's for the most part.
As far as festivies, the Halloween celebrations in the parks are always fun-kids and adults too, definately have lots of picture opportunity. I used to work for Disney years ago so if you need anymore help or suggestions, send me a pm or email and I will be happy to help!
Enjoy your trip down and be safe.
