Hi everyone! We just returned from a fantastic week at WDW, celebrating Todd's birthday. We checked in at the POFQ on Thurs May 19 and left late Wed the 25th.
This trip was all about the husband...except I was the lucky one that picked the resort
I was so excited to stay at the POFQ again, especially since it was completely renovated.
So what does one NORMALLY do when one books the room reservation? He or she books the dining reservations right? WRONG! My husband had a different take on this...since it was his trip (where the heck did he get that idea??) we were going to do things his way, Todd's way, he was going to call the shots, he was going to make all the decisions, my life - my trip, was in his hands....and I admit, I was scared, just a bit.
Ok fine, I can give up control for one trip right? I mean seriously, what could come out of this? So I assume he is going to pick all the places I need to make a reservation for. WRONG again Nic....he decides (get this) that we are going to WDW reservation-less. Yes I said it, no that wasn't a typo, the boy actually wants to tempt the impossible and go to WDW without one stinking reservation, without one day planned, throw caution to the wind and lets just roll with it.
I asked him if he was sure, I asked him if he felt ok, I asked him if he was sure he was my husband and the answer was yes to it all. Then he had to remind me that back in the stone ages when we first started going to WDW we never had dining reservations and we survived....yeah, I wanted to knock him out just a little bit but being his birthday and all I held back. Not to say that I didnt bother the heck out of him just to make double, triple sure he didnt want any reservations...sadly, the answer was always no.
To cheer myself up I reminded myself, and DH, that our October trip was my birthday trip and it would be all about ME and he will just have to deal with me calling the shots!
His reply? "What else is new?" Ok, so he is catching on to me.
If you are wondering why I didnt take the computer with us for a live review well that is 50/50 my fault and DH's fault. Mine because I am just sick to death of spending 10 bucks a day for internet that should be free (that is a whole other subject) and DH's because he hates me clicking away on it at all hours of the day and night ha ha. Seriously, he asked that we leave it at home so I would stop checking my work email and just let this be a 100% detached from our homelife vacation.
So join me won't you? I promise alot of fun and alot of laughs and alot of pictures of food!

It was a gorgeous day, nice and breezy, sun shining, no traffic...I figured we would arrive at the POFQ around 10:30am, and of course I thought wrong. DH had other plans...to stop off at the Brandon Mall!
My Todd doesn't like a plan either...he cringes when I make ADRs, but who is the first to sit the table......
I still can't believe you let him call all the dining shots! I don't think I'd allow my DH THAT much freedom!
