LOL. I'm not too worried about the whole ADR thing. We go the same time every year and I hardly ever have a problem getting the ressies I want. I only make 3 or 4 for the entire trip. I hate being tied down. We don't do the dining plan, and we hit "Whole Paycheck" for snacks and such when we arrive. This trip it's gonna be
- Cape May
- Crystal Palace
- Cali Grill
- Wishes Dessert Party (maybe)
Flying Fish, Blue Zoo, & Kimono's are on the list too, but we'll just walk up to these as we're happy to eat at the bar and/or late at night (time change thing). Oh, and Beaches & Cream... gotta get my No Way Jose!
Oh totally get what you mean. I couldn't believe how easy it was last year! We made ours with the agreement that we are flexible and are willing to makes changes if we want to. That and we do have the DDP, so it just kind of makes sense. It's funny because part of me loves the DDP, but I also sometimes don't like being stuck to ADRs, so having the flexibility helps (especially since we'll be there at a slow time).
Oh and I TOTALLY have had my eye on that No Way Jose! We are doing B&C one evening for dinner and I am pretty darn excited about it!
That's the great thing about staying at an Epcot resort, you really get to spend a lot of time there and it's sooooo easy. Illuminations is my *FAVORITE* show, and we'll just walk over to catch it at closing time. Per-fect!
I know, I am really really excited about it. To be able to just stroll over to the World Showcase whenever we want to is awesome! I'm excited to see Illuminations again. Last time I was totally blown away by it!
There's usually at least one day warm enough for simming. SAB is a pretty cool pool, prob the best on property. Have you done a WDW water park yet? If not, you so have to! They are amazing and so much fun.
Yeah we totally went swimming like 3-4 times during our last January trip. There was one day it was perfect out and we took advantage of it. I'm hoping it is somewhat warm on night one since last trip we did nightswimming on our first night and it would be fun to keep that up as a tradition. But if it's cold out, yeah, no, not happening!
I have been to both Disney water parks when I was younger! They were an absolute blast. I think if we were going during a warmer time of year, we'd do the water park add-on. However last trip we had that and never used it! I figured we might as well save the money, since if we're in the mood to go swimming, it'll for sure be at SAB or the quiet pool.
How did you like Snowflake Lane at Bell Square? It's a great show they put on. Was it crowded? The weekends can get kinda
. I heard there was a 3 mile backup in downtown Bellevue yesterday. We had planned on going to SeaStar for dinner but backed out when I heard about how bad the traffic had been all day.
So we didn't end up going! And it sounds like it was good that we didn't! We had heard from a friend that Southcenter was insane, so we figured Bell Square wouldn't be any better. It's too bad since I wanted to see it, but we opted for driving up to Issaquah for some Puppy Christmas shopping at PetSmart, a quick stop at Trader Joe's, and then drove around the area and looking at lights. It was pretty delightful.
15 days til Christmas!!! I'm going to wrap some presents
I AM SO EXCITED! I can't believe it's right around the corner. My DH has been saying how he is so excited for Christmas, and so he's been focused on that, but then claimed that once Christmas is over he's going to be in super planner mode. I am all for it though!
