Hi Everyone!!!!
I have started a post literally like 4 times, and I get side tracked with this or that. I hope everyone had a great holiday! We def had a good holiday but man was I exhausted!!! This Christmas season kicked my butt!!! I have no idea why.
The weekend before Christmas we had 2 family/friend parties to go to. And I spent ALOT of time trying "defend" our trips to Disney. It def felt like family just didn't get "it". And were even a little "mean" about it. After the 2nd party, I just came home and read some of everyones posts to drown them out! Ha!
We are currently watching Syracuse play in the Camping Bowl which is in Orlando!!! I tried to get DH to want to go but the thought of crowds in Disney (cause you know we can't go to Orlando and not go to Disney) was just not what he was looking forward to. Which is fine, we have a year of trips to look forward to. BUT the Syracuse Marching Band got to march down main street yesterday! (Andy and I were both in the Syracuse Marching Band) I was def jealous.
So, I have to get my butt in gear!!! I really haven't thought too too much about our trip since my big post with my plans at the time! And I am starting to panic a little. I just need to get back into planning mode!
I did get the rest of my fastpasses and did tweek the ones I already posted here, to hopefully make more sense. here is where my plans are at the moment. They are pretty set, I think...

California Grill @ 7:30
I am on the fence on BOG lunch. I want to go in there again, but the food kind of looks good. But it hasn't gotten the best reviews lately... I am still on the fence on California Grill. The menu only half appeals to me. But I do want to give it a try and feel like we should do it at least once!
Sunday:

Thursday:
Check out of the Poly - DAH MK Night!!
Today sounds messy... I am thinking swimming one last time, change, pass bags to bell hop to move to your next resort. Hit Animal Kingdom for FoP ride. Then head to Riverside to relax a bit before heading to Magic Kingdom. It sounds like too much and we will probably have to choose swimming or FOP...

- Flight Of Passage: 1:30 - 2:30
- Primevel Whirl: 2:30 - 3:30

I am not completely set on keeping this. I am torn with the idea of sitting and getting feuled up for the night and feeling like we might be wasting so pre-event time...
