**************************************************
Hey, ya'll!
Long time, no update, right? Sadly, I'm just at a point where I can't really DO much else for the trip except for ponder ADRs and switching resorts, and general daydreaming.
I have made some adjustments to the original ADR schedule that I scanned and posted a couple months ago. But at this point, it's really all just theoretical plans, at least for the next 3 months until I can get my hands on some park hours.
Speaking of park hours, for anybody who is wondering, no I don't know the exact date when park hours for December 2015 will be released. What I do know, however, is that they are updated typically anytime between the 1st and 15th of every month, and are released no more than 7 months out. That puts the December hours being posted sometime during the first two weeks of May. So for my countdown above, currently at 90 days, I selected the date of May 7th, right in the middle. So I may get them at 84 days from now, or 97 days from now. It's just an approximate.
How is everybody adjusting the the new boards? I have to tell you, it's been a bit off-putting for me. Don't get me wrong, I totally 100% understand the need for newer, faster, more efficient technology. And I support it! I'm just really funny when it comes to change... I don't adjust well at first. It takes me time to warm up to big changes to anything in my life, both on and offline. So I pretty much avoided the boards for most of the last week. Yesterday I started puttering around on them a bit more, getting the December 2015 updated (I started it, so I'm the only one who can edit the "Roll Call" list of people going that month), and posting randomly here and there. However, what I'm writing right now is my first "real" post of any weight. So far so good! There's definitely things I miss about the old boards, but also quite a few things that I'm liking better. It'll just take time, I guess.
As previously mentioned, I think I am going to do one more color-coded "Must Do's" list, this time for Downtown Disney. There's certainly things there I want to make sure I don't skip this time, and it'll give me something to think/write about while I wait for the park hours. In fact, maybe I'll even do a list for our day over at Universal, too. Hmm!
One last thing... I've been tossing around the idea of DisneyBounding. I see such cute outfits in other's TRs! I'm just... Ugh. Okay, two reasons I'm hesitant: (1) Finding things in my size is not only a nightmare, but typically very expensive, and I'd rather save that money I would spend and use it at the parks. (2) Usually anytime I allow myself start something like this, I go totally freakin' OVERBOARD. Once I set my mind so doing it, I wouldn't be happy unless the outfit is 100% perfection... and again, perfection is expensive! Not to mention, again knowing how I am, I wouldn't be happy doing it for just one or two days... I would end up feeling the need to put something spectacular together EVERY SINGLE DAY. I would just get totally out of control.
Now, all that being said... I'm not usually a dress/skirts girl. But. I did find this, and it comes in sizes S-XXXL, and I kinda love it, so I'm thinking with some black leggings it might actually be a fun and comfortable thing to wear on our Hollywood Studios day...
And while it's not exactly DisneyBounding, it DID get me to thinking that maybe if I could just find a fun cotton dress or a t-shirt to wear that's appropriate for each day/place we're going, that could maybe be more affordable and still something kinda fun I've never done before... What do you think, ladies?
