Wow, so it has been a few days since my 100 day celebration
, countdown is up on the wall and Ainsley is ticking off the days and excited each morning to announce how many are left
! So now for me its back into planning phase
!!!
So I am on day 2, which is super exciting because this day has changed in so many ways! It used to be our day 1, and originally we had planned to get to DW in a leisurely fashion
, tour some hotel Christmas decorations, and then do dinner. We had picked either Chef Mickeys or Spirit of Aloha , and if you read my earlier blog you know it was Ainsley who made the final choice, SOA
! She wanted a show, not characters. So SOA is all booked, the late show. After the sticker shock of flight prices we had the genius idea to just go a day early! And luckily we were able to rent another night from my wonderful DVC angel
, so now day 2 is a park day! But I do still want to see some hotel decorations, so here is my thinking on day 2 planning:
We will be up early and on the first bus over to MK for rope drop! We are rope drop people, I dont think you would ever find us not doing rope drop. All 3 of us LOVE the rides
, so we get as much out of our mornings as possible! I have both the Unofficial guide and tourguide mike, so between these 2 sources I am sure I can muster up a good touring plan which hits all of our favs! Plus, I am a fast pass master
. I am a bit crazy with all of this, but we always see and do everything we want and then some! Now, I have told myself not to go too crazy. We actually visit MK 3 times this trip, this day 2, then day 3 we have the
MVMCP and we have one more full day planned at MK. So I will try to slow down a bit, but I do admit this will be hard for me
!!!
After our whirlwind morning of rides rides rides
we will slow down for lunch! I am so excited to be trying Liberty Tavern, this was a last minute add when we got the extra day, and one I had really wanted to try. I can tell you with certainty that I will be doing the fried cheese appetizer, and the turkey meal! I have been drooling over both in the food reports section. I assume the hubby will get a salad and the burger, I know him pretty well! And unless my kid decides to totally change in the next 96 days
I am sure she wont order a thing and will just eat bread. I will try to grab her an eggroll or something before/after and not worry too much that she is a freaky eater! This is the beauty of no dining plan, we can just wing it and I dont have to force her to order stuff she doesnt want!
After lunch I think we will try to hit any major rides/shows we have yet to do, or any we just have to do again (I am sure we will do the Haunted House a record number of times this trip as it tops Ainsleys list, and nearly tops Kris and Is!). But I do also still want to see some hotel decorations on this day, so we will not be going too crazy at MK today. I want to leave early evening and hit a couple hotels. Right now I am thinking of doing the ones on the monorail
and we can end off at the Poly for our dinner show!
Last comments are on the dinner show. We have never done a dinner show at Disney so this will be super exciting! Cheesy or not, I just know we will love it. The food looks good enough to satisfy all of us, and I plan to tell my waiter to keep the beer flowing
(Texas girl, remember?)!!! I read somewhere on the disboards that they might be changing the dessert at the SOA show, but in truth I wanna try those controversial little volcano things so I hope they dont.
Now I have to get back to work
, planning out my Disney days is so much more fun!
