Your food/restaurant list looks great! I still can't believe you're staying at the BC, yay!! Someday I'll stay there, someday...
I can't believe I'm staying there either! Next on the dream resort list is the Polynesian, I think. I never actually have been like "OMG, I love the Poly!" But I did realize that they have a lot of things I enjoy. I made no less than 3 trips to it from AoA during my last vacation, either for food, drink or shopping. So it just seems to make sense to stay there eventually, and save myself some running around! Maybe for my 40th birthday!
I had to run to Target after work to get a few Disney gift cards and yeah, the traffic was not good. No more errand running for me until next year, lol!
Yep, I'm officially 100% done now, too! Staying home, unless somebody else is doing the driving! LOL
I leave this Thursday evening to fly home to be with my family for a week. Right now I'm just hoping that the weather holds so I don't have any delays given that it will be Christmas Eve and a delay could mean spending Christmas here or in some random airport. That would not be fun!
Oh noes! Sending lots of pixie dust your way!
Looking forward to following along as you plan this solo trip! I'm still thinking of doing one myself but since we have a DL trip planned for April it'll have to wait awhile. Plus I need a new car this coming year... really need to work on how to grow that money tree. Or buy a winning lottery ticket.
Girl, I feel ya on the newer car front. I'm spending way more on this trip than I really should be, because I'm supposed to be saving up to buy a better vehicle, too. Adulting sucks, though!
Have a great Christmas! Hope your box arrives today!!
It did! And then it BIT ME, as you saw on FB last night! Ouch!
I feel your pain. I'm still working on my TR from Wine and Dine! Being at Disney is so exhausting (the good kind) that you need to recover afterward.
I am forever behind on your TR, too! I'm awful!
UM, YES. Word to the third. I had fun with my group, but there's nothing like doing exactly what you want when you want it, for as long as you want. If I want to sit at Dawa Bar at AK at 10AM then I will sit there and not feel like I'm hampering anyone else's plans on a solo trip.
Exaaaaaactly. SOLO 4 LIFE.
I just got my last box from UPS, *fingers crossed* for you!
It came in yesterday, so I'm all done now!
Your restaurant list is making me hungry!
Me too!
The new AKL offerings and new Soarin will be awesome, can't wait to read about since it will be several years till I get to experience them.
I will return to the DIS with a full report, I promise!
Yay restaurant list. I admit I already have a list started for both the 2018 and 2021 trip, especially since we aren't getting a lot of the choices I wanted in the trip in 3 week for various reasons, mainly the other 12 people that will be joining us.
12 people?! I would die. Planning for just 2 other people nearly killed me!
Sooooo, yeah, we're gonna miss each other by 1 day. 1 DAY!!!!!!
A crime of sadness in the 1st degree.
WHAAAT?! Not you, too!!! I am running into this problem with several of my DIS friends... missing them by just a day, either on the front of back-end of my trip. What's up with that!
But on a happier note, your nom-nom list looks great! Oddly only 1 restaurant is on my list too. BOG. And even then, we're doing lunch. The rest of the list we've only done 2. So obviously we have a HUGE amount of make-up eating to do. I wonder how much my spreadsheet is going to change once park hours come out? I went with this year's park hours and think I'll be mostly safe, but I do see some tweaking happening. Anyway, welcome back; it'll be so fun to plan alongside of you for the same timeframe.
You're right, at least we can still plan along together!
Not surprised. At all.
But I also don't blame you ... too much to do (/eat), not enough time!
Seriously! Must do ALL the things!
Yeah, nighttime at AK is about to become a must-schedule. I'm super jealous that you're going to get to see Rivers of Light - it looks like it will be such an awesome show!
I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE RIVERS OF LIGHT. I'm a huge sucker for the parks at night, so this is totally in my wheelhouse. I can't wait!
That is a very long list. Lots of good food, but ... wow. I have no idea how you're going to fit all that in. Plus F&W.
My belly is a cavern of wonders. I will persevere!
Woohoo!! I really hope the new film is worth this 6 month downtime.
I'm just happy that the 6 month downtime falls between my trips!
What - you
may have overscheduled? I believe you not - not yet, anyways... And my October holidays only
start on October 28 (because it's cruel to desert your work friends during the first two weeks of flu immunization season in Canada), so no Dismeets for me.
Then again, with the Canadian dollar diving, there may not be funding for another solo trip. But I do like the idea of
@Dentam 's money tree!
I need that money tree too, for sure!
I finished my last shift at work today, so now comes the house cleaning and gift wrapping and grocery shopping. I decided we needed to cut back on flashy gifts that are not appreciated beyond the initial "ooh"s of Christmas morning, so I decided instead that I would knit scarves for most of my gift giving this year. So now, I expect that we will have non-flashy gifts that will not be appreciated. Oh well, same result, less money spent, which means less crying in January when the Mastercard bill kerthunks into the mailbox.
I'm neither crafty enough nor patience enough for handmade gifts. I order everybody's stuff on
Amazon, wrap it and stuff it under the tree. That's Christmas!
HOLLAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Welcome!
I had a good time with my aunt and uncle, but now I'm soooo looking forward to getting back to my solo time!
