[WizardLarz]

That is right! Less than a month left!

Since I did not grab airfair early, like when I made my first payment for my DVC rental, I will be driving down again this year. I plan on stoping at the KOA in Cordele GA. on both parts of the trip.

1 WEEK!
​

Actually by this time next week I'll be relaxing in my tent, reading a book, before sacking out for the night so I can get an early start. The Cordele KOA is about 4&1/2 hours from WDW. I plan to be on the road by 7am so I'll be pulling up to the BoardWalk Villas about 11:30 and in the Magic Kingdom by 1pm!

Well this is My PTR so, "It's all Good"!

I'm retiring my car. It was a good run. 2003 PT Cruiser, bought in November '02, so 9+ years and over 200,000 miles!

So, what am I getting?

​

NOT convertible!

Going GREEN and getting a 2010 Honda Insight!

I have not decided what color. The dealer has 2 with exactly the same equipment that I want: Clear Sky Blue and Tango Red (Wine).
I'm leaning Blue but will make the final choice when I see the cars in front of me!

​

I'm now leasing a 2010 Atomic Blue (Navy) Honda Insight!!

Highway MPG 43
Expected range for most drivers 35 - 51!

I always got bet than average MPG in my old PT Cruiser, even at 7yrs old it was still getting 30 mpg on long trips. I'm really excited to see what type of mileage I'll get on my trip down to WDW!

These ressies have already been placed thru Disney's online center. I think that it works great!

The one that I'm going to try and call and change later is one of the Tusker House lunches. I tried to get Boma for one of those days but the system said nothing was open. I plan on waiting untill closer to the trip. I want to try Boma to see how the two African Buffets compare. I also my just do a walk-up, I don't think it should be to hard to sit a solo person.

Change of plan! La Nouba is going to be closed May 23 - June 7. So I'm going to get tickets for either wed19 or thurs20.

Also Not doing La Nouba either!

By not doing the Dining Plan I'll save about $200!
