We may have to explore more of Disney Springs in our future also.
I'm so glad I had this day, because since we literally had nothing else to do and nobody bothering us to leave, I got to go in stores I'd never been in and most likely wouldn't go in with Steve and the boys. I find it so relaxing as long as you give yourself time and don't rush.
are you not going in November this year? Was hoping you were!
Sadly no, and Steve and I are not happy about it
Last year was a pain in the rear working around Ricky's school basketball schedule, and at the last minute no less since I didn't realize H.S. basketball starts in Nov. as opposed to Jr. High basketball which didn't start till Dec. And actually, once you're playing, basketball starts in Sept.
So bottom line Ricky would miss a bunch of practices as well as a big tournament that's held the night before Thanksgiving, AND a tournament Thanksgiving weekend...............so no Thanksgiving trips for us the next 3 years. We considered taking a trip earlier in Nov. just the 2 of us but then I have to worry about finding Ricky rides to all his practices/workouts/open gyms etc.
But excited about your trip, it's such an awesome time to go!!!!
I can't blame her for that. And really, why I get mad that a one day ticket is so pricey!!!! I hate it!
Oh I didn't blame her at all; we bought the boys a one day ticket back in 2015 and it hurt lol!! Difference was we planned on it as opposed to Cathy. If it were me without the AP, I wouldn't have wanted to shell out the 1 day price without having planned on it!
Those french fries look soooooooo good!!!!!!
They were!
We'll see.............
We had snow yesterday yuck,
What??? In May??? We've had snow early April but not May!!!!
How exciting about August, we will be there from 8/26-9/4, so maybe we can meet up!
!!!
Ooh, YES!!!! We will most definitely plan to meet up
We love Disney at that time of year
So do we, even though myself and the boys aren't big fans of the heat
But we've been down there the past 3 years in late Aug. (last year was just Steve and I) and we've survived, plus the crowd's are fantastic.
I will be watching for your pre trip report.
Hoping to start it in the next couple weeks
Nice! I'm interested in hearing more about the POP Century (for now) business....yes, bc I'm nosy...lol.
I know, it's a bit different for us. Bottom line it has to do with cost and availability, but I'll go into more detail in my PTR. And, who's to say it'll still be POP by the time said PTR gets started??
I so want to eat at both of these places but the way I have our days scheduled, it doesn't really work to eat at DS.
Some seem to find it so easy to schedule time/meals in DS; I don't for whatever reason. Especially when the kids are with us. And Steve isn't a big DS fan so he always makes a face when I tell him we're going there
That was one reason I pushed for Boathouse, and I gave him no choice when I booked Homecomin' for later this month. But then when he looked at the menu and saw the Moonshine Flight he got a little more excited lol.
It's a bar, right? I can't remember exactly. I guess I should just look it up. LOL. Okay so I looked it up. restaurant and bar. Seems like a cool concept but who knows if it will be open for our trip.
I had forgotten about the entertainment that's supposed to be there and after seeing the sign, I looked it up again when I got home. It looks super cool! Since it says summer I'm hopeful it'll be open for us in August but yeah, I guess it could go either way for you guys.
So glad you were able to get there. I think it would be pure torture to be in the area and not get to stop by!
Oh yeah
Which is exactly what happened on our supposed-to-be-no-Disney trip in August 2015! We were off-site, just doing Universal. We went to Downtown Disney one night (I can call it that because it wasn't DS yet) and all of a sudden Steve says to the kids, "so, if we go to one Disney park, which one do you want it to be?" And that's how we ended up buying them one day tickets to the MK; couldn't be in Orlando without a little Disney
Congrats on your August trip with the boys looking forward to your next PTR
I'll be happy to have you follow along with me again!
Congrats on your August trip!!!! Hating that we won't be there that time of hear for the first time in 5 years.
And I hate that you won't be there, too; you could meet the boys, Ricky could watch Casey and the adults could enjoy a night out. Maybe they'd even bring back JB: Alive with Magic for us
That means you'll have to drink double for me.
Oh, well, OK
I forgot you had your AP on your February trip. You should have totally ditched Cathy and joined us for the day.
Believe me, this was my first thought and I did bring up hitting a Disney park more than once. Joking aside it killed me to be so close to you and not be able to hang. But, if the shoe had been on the other foot and after being "stranded" so to speak, Cathy ditched me, I would've been a bit PO'd. If Pam had stayed around I would have told them sorry, I have a friend to see! I guess I just continue to be too nice a person
but I sincerely hated missing seeing you again.
