Originally Posted By DlandJB I would spend the first week getting all the important papers together, being sure everyone knows where everything is. I'd write out my wishes for a service. At the end of the first week I'd throw a big party and invite all my friends and family. Then I would take Doug and the kids and we would go on back to back Disney cruises for the last two weeks. And I'd eat the chocolate.

Originally Posted By Ursula I would plan a trip to DL and have say, 16 of my friends pose for a picture on the Mickey's Roundup Sleigh. Then I would max out my credit cards on handbags and change them three times a day. Then I'd eat every last bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese with ranch or green onion dip. Then I'd go to Vegas and play that $100 slot machine I've always been too chicken to try. Then we'd rent a beach house and I'd spend my last days with my husband there.
Originally Posted By sherrytodd Hmmm, I'd probably spend most of my time screaming and crying. I'd go to WDW but I'd then probably start crying again because I'd never be able to go again and never be able to spend time with my family again. Maybe I should spend my last three weeks heavily medicated.
Originally Posted By markedward Week one, or at least the first couple of days, would be spent getting a second, and third, opinion. Maybe my doctor doesn't know the latest experimental breakthrough. I'll give more thought to the rest of it. But not for too long, I've only got three weeks after all.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy That's true, I didn't think of it that way. I just see death so much at work that it just hit me kind of funny when I read it.
Originally Posted By goodgirl Well, truth be told, I think I need to put some thought into how I would deal with three weeks. But...I'm at Disneyland right now and I just changed out of my wet pants from riding Splash Mountain so I guess I better head back over and have some fun.
Originally Posted By debtee I would make sure all my paperwork affairs are in order especially for Barry and my boys, as my uncle just died and left a big mess for everyone to cope with so I would never wish to do that! Then I would take all my family and friends to DL and have a ball no expense spared, we would all laugh , have fun and share good times!!
Originally Posted By debtee ^ when it came to the day I knew I would die, I would sit on the beach watching the sun come up and relax by the sea. Everyone that knows me has instructions that I don't want to die in a hospital, I want to be taken to the beach!
Originally Posted By Labuda First thing I'd do is quit my job at Dell and let the theatre know I'd be unavailable after the next week.

And at home, (thanks Ursula for this idea) I'd totally pig out for Cool Ranch Doritos. Then, I'd spend my last couple of days holed up with Eric.
