The Waiting Game
I cannot believe that we are going to WDW three weeks from tomorrow!!! How did it come up so fast? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it - I just feel like I have so much to wrap up in 3 weeks with work. And since I'm working remotely out of DC, I will only be home in NYC this weekend and next weekend, then not until the day before we leave! Luckily, I'm able to take a vacation day that day before go to do laundry and pack, phew!
I wanted to post a quick update this morning, and then hopefully a longer update with some of my wish list items later today or tonight!
I got a sassy new 'do on Monday, courtesy of my friend D, yay! We had a blast talking Disney. She has a connection to get free Disney World tickets (just for herself), but it's making me nervous because she still doesn't have the actual tickets, which means she doesn't have any FP+ reservations. I'm sweating it a bit, I hope we can reserve her FP+'s once she has the tickets and coordinate them with our windows. But it's out of my control, so I'm not going to stress over it. She's also now getting a 3-day park hopper, but she's not sure if she will go to the parks Saturday-Monday or Sunday-Tuesday... I'm trying to shut off my planner brain and just go with it.
I've heard from everyone except G's parents that their MBs have arrived, including B&F...
They texted me this photo. It reminds me of superheroes.
We decided to switch to DHS for Monday morning because Sunday may have too much going on with the MK and my birthday brunch, and we may also go to an MK resort that evening to see HalloWishes. I tried to align our FP+ windows with the one's J already had, but I couldn't get any FP+ for TSMM until late afternoon, and that won't work because we are going to the Wilson Phillips concert and then have an ADR for dinner at the Cape May Cafe at the BC. So I used the Tier 1 FP+ for us all to go on RnRC between 9:05-10:05 AM, except for Mom, who will enjoy the Great Movie Ride. Then I got us all FP+ for Tower of Terror from 10:05-11:05 AM, though I know Mom won't ride it - she may still be on TGMR, it takes awhile. Finally, I got us FP+ for Star Tours from 11:05 AM - 12:05 PM, though I don't love it and don't plan to ride it, and Mom won't ride it, either, so she and I can go watch Muppets 3D or do something else. I didn't switch our FP+ to Muppets 3D because I don't think a FP+ is needed for that, but I guess I could.
On the weather front, while it's too early for me to check the 10-day forecast, I am keeping an eye on the tropics. The Atlantic Basin looks nice and clear, so that's good! Hopefully, it will stay that way!
More to come shortly!
