[FONT="]Just a few life updates. This is a slow paced PTR I am taking my time doing updates to stretch out my planning process. The longer I stay in my happy place in my head, the better![/FONT]

[FONT="]This weekend my BFF Lesley came down for the weekend. Friday night I headed to girl scouts, Joe took Katie to basketball practice, then dropped her off at girl scouts, and Katie and I got home about 5 minutes before Lesley arrived bearing PIZZA. Yay![/FONT]

[FONT="]Lesleys house in NC is pretty much done, and they are just waiting for the US Army and the VA to determine the date and the financials of Cs retirement. I am thrilled and a sad at the same time that they will be headed south soon. Their house is beautiful, and its on the EAST COAST. YAY 11 hours is much better than California, where they spent the past few years. Sad because these spur of the moment weekends of just hanging out and catching up will be much much further spread apart. 11 hours is much longer than 1 ½. [/FONT]

[FONT="]SO psyched to hear that C is really getting into coming to WDW with us. We learned this weekend that we have (can I hear the applause people?) A
FIRST TIMER to Disney World!!!! Now lets just cross our fingers and pray that all goes well and they can commit. Actually I nearly called my TA this weekend to have her just add 2 adults to our room package, but held off to see if L & C wanted to reserve their own room with a military discount. They could potentially save $ by doing this and getting the military 4 day tickets, and doing meals on their own if they wanted, so I will have to try very very hard to keep my patience.[/FONT]

[FONT="]I also made all of my ADRs for June. WAHOOOO but I did not, at the last minute, make them for 4. I am not sure which is the best way to go, so I will keep them as is for the moment and change them to 4 as soon as I know for sure. [/FONT]

[FONT="]So we are not planning any character meals, nor are we planning any signature service meals. DH does really enjoy the Crystal Palace and I considered it, but was hoping to try something very new (Sanaa) and indulge in that dessert party I keep reading about on everyones TRs and food reports. I know that Lesley is not a big buffet eater, nor does she care for seafood (but is happy if there is chicken or steak on the menu) so buffets are not the best choice. I realized that we have only two park restaurants and the rest are resort restaurants, which messes a bit with travel times etc, but hey, well be on vacation, right? [/FONT]
