I found a blog last night that had pictures of some of the food that's being offered at F&W, so I looked through them to see if any of the things I wanted to try were pictured. They were and, as such, my list of interesting things has changed
I decided to cut the stop in China, since I know I like pot stickers and chicken sticks. I've also decided not to try the baklava, since I was apparently thinking about something else and that's not what I thought it was
The other things I cut were the lobster roll, ravioli, beef pita pocket, and the stop in Poland. It seems like when you stop in Poland, the kielbasa they give you is just a small slice, not a whole link
So yeah. A few things less
I also ordered my
MNSSHP ticket for 10/24, and have been browsing around online to see if I can find a new laptop bag. I'll be ordering it in September, since my next paycheck is going toward airfare and the two after that are already spoken for (large bill and then a Disney payment). I'll also probably be ordering my last MNSSHP ticket with my next paycheck, depending on how much airfare (and my check) turns out to be. I only get paid every two weeks, which kind of sucks.
As for airfare, I've decided to just go with the two seats on Southwest and hope for a refund for the second seat. It's just easier. A little more expensive, but still easier than dealing with being worried about being kicked off the plane. I put in a request at work to have October 22 off as well (I'd previously requested October 23, 24, 27, and 28 and had them approved). I put on the request that the only flight available to me was at 8am, and I get off of work at 7am. There is a flight at 8am, but it's not the only one available, I just want to get to Disney sooner
I'd also be able to get some sleep the night before and not be completely exhausted for the next couple of days. After what happened when I went without sleep last Wednesday, I don't want to be exhausted the first three days of my vacation. If they ask, I'll just say that it's because of the seat situation. I don't think it'll be a problem, though. Everyone else I work with waits until the last minute to request vacation, and I put mine in three and a half months in advance. I'd technically be using a sick day for the 22nd, but that's fine by me. If I get that day approved, I'll be off of work from October 20 to November 1 because of the way my days off fell in addition to my vacation days. :woo-hoo:
I'd previously posted that I was thinking about going to the Wishes dessert party one night, but I've decided not to. I think I'll just get a sundae from Mrs Potts and sit by Dumbo and watch the fireworks from there. It's pretty cool to watch them there, since it's like you're surrounded by the fireworks. The vertical fireworks are shot off from the buildings on either side of the Castle, and the huge ones are about a mile north of Fantasyland.
So, yeah. Just moving along
