The food, oh boy the food. Meals on vacation are a super important thing to us and that is because I cook all of our meals just about every single day. I make our breakfasts, pack our lunches and cook our dinners. We go out to eat maybe twice a month and one time might be a pizza! We do this not only to save money(which it saves alot!) not only because we are very busy people and this is easier but because, well I am a darn good cook
When on vacation we love to try different places, love to find new favorites and visit old ones too. LOVE to have different cocktails and most of all I love the planning. Seriously I really enjoy looking over the menus and reading all the fantastic reviews that fellow DISers write and am tickled pink over the pictures. I will make DH sit down and look at it all and he says, yeah put me down for that!
I have learned so much fantastic information on this board it is crazy. We have been going to WDW since 93 and did not know about school bread until 05! I know that is ridiculous but I had no idea that Norway had such wonderful pastries!
Our reservations have changed more times than I can count. When my 180 day mark was set I was on the phone at 7am and in 20 minutes time I had everything I wanted, or so I thought. Over the last 6 months I have changed things around so many times it is dizzying and DH has been the entire reason why, ok that was not entirely true but he doesnt read these boards so he wont know I said it!
The last 3 trips that we went on DH has changed our dining plans at the last minute. I do not complain although inside my entire body is tingling with irritation ..... I mean come on where was his opinion BEFORE the trip??
That being said I do not expect all of our dining plans to be set in stone, I do anticipate DH cancelling some of them and adding in something else and that is ok because there are a few that I refuse to cancel and he knows it because on my itinerary those places are written in bold large red font that has a disclaimer....it reads:
"IF YOU TRY TO CANCEL THIS RESERVATION THAT IS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE"
So needless to say he takes me seriously!
