That is so very true!Ah yes, DVC would make it even better! The only reason DH and I could afford DVC was because we became financially responsible (followed Dave Ramsey's plan to get out of debt)....it really does completely change your future! A while of watching the pennies results in YEARS of freedom.
I also thought of another place in Orlando that I want to go too. I've been there before and I nearly jumped up and down yesterday when I thought of it. That will be revealed in another update!I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Sonic and Steak & Shake made your lists of pluses on the driving. I haven't tried Sonic yet (we just got them in a few locations in Minnesota this past summer finally - after YEARS of commericals teasing us!), but Steak & Shake I have ate at once in Missouri. Oh yum.
I think it's going to be fun. At least we can say we did it once. I have driven twice before. Once on my very first trip when I was 5. So I didn't do any of the driving but I remember it vividly. And I also drove down with my Ex once and his sister and her husband. Not so much fun.I think the roadtrip with your hubby will make for some great memories! Plus the bonuses about packing whatever you want, AND not having to pay stupid bag fees is a big bonus. If my DH could drive, I would want to make a roadtrip at least once down to WDW. But, being the sole driver in my household, a trip like that would totally exhaust me for the week.
I think we are going to just plow straight through. I'm a hurry up and get there kind of person.Are you guys planning on making a stop overnight, or just plowing straight through?
Okay, those potstickers were what were calling my name the most!! Marc is all for WCC, I'm a little more apprehensive. I am not sure if I am going to like the antics but the food looks really good.I love all your ADRs! We thought (as you may remember from the TR) O'hana was FANTASTIC. Er-well, I did. Joe was already feeling a bit icky that night, so what he could eat, he loved and he wants to do it again. The potstickers are droooooooooooooool. I hope you enjoy it!
We also loved WCC. Yum!
I want to try Jiko sometime too, and the Rose & Crown has been catching my interest as of late too - it might make the December trip list.
I think it will work out fine. Anyway I can save money on this trip, I am going to do it!I had a wonderful experience with my Photopass Share. The person running it kept us all up to date when she had problems getting the CD from Disney and she was VERY quick in sending out the CD copies, even though it was Christmas-time. I hope you have a great run with it too.
I hope the next 134 days fly by for you!!
I don't think so. I looked at the map and we bypass you.How fun that you guys are going to take on a road trip!!! TOO FUN!!! I think you will enjoy it---remember those memories are just as important at times.....will you be coming down through my way??? Or is there another route to take from the East Coast?
You were another one where your review of GFC made me want to try it!! I've read mixed reviews on WCC as well, but I think all places get mixed reviews, there are just off days.Thoughts on your ADRs----YUM!! You have some of our favorites on there---including Grand Floridian Cafe which is one of our new favorites!!! AWESOME meal we had there for sure! The only place on your list that we didn't enjoy was actually WCC at WL. It may have just been our night and our VERY poor waitress. She was MIA through most of the meal---so we really didn't understand what was going on most of the time, our food's quality was poor because our skillet seemed like it sat out for awhile---let's just say we had LOTS of issues there. I really don't want to go into too many details, because I know many others enjoy it---it really probably was just a bad circumstance and waitress. I hope you have better luck there! All in all, looks good---I hope you get everything you want!
That's really funny!Can I just add, we play I spy with Waffle Houses when we head south and the pecan waffles are to die for!
Yes, we will be!! I'm quite looking forward to all the South of the Border signs.Good update! Driving isn't bad, although you have alot farther to come than we do. Will you be coming through SC?
I know, right? We probably will end canceling as we are prone to do with some of them.Seems like quite a few restaurants are calling your name. Seriously, though, I love what you chose. I can't wait to hear about them as there are quite a few on your list that I haven't tried yet either!
I agree with that. I think I will be very depressed.I think the roadtrip will be fun. The way down perhaps a bit more fun than the way back.
I
I've only eaten at Steak N Shake but I want to try Sonic!!'ve never eaten at Sonic or Steak N Shake... never even heard of Steak N Shake.
And on having the trip almost paid for. That is fantastic!
Oh and by the way... since you'll have your own car there ... I hear there is a Crocs outlet very near WDW property....
CROCS OUTLET!! I am so there.
I think it's going to spice it up too. It will be interesting if nothing else. Okay, I snort laughed at the light fixture comment. When we were looking at apartments yesterday, I was ooohing and awwwing over the light fixtures in the club houses.Okay I can barely comment on the ADRs....I can't get past the driving part! I think the driving is really going to spice up your TR!!! I'm concerned how long it is going to take you though when you have to stop at ever light post on the way for a pic!!!
