>>>>>>>>>>change of plans<<<<<<<<<
My measly attempt at a cliff hanger seems to have failed here. Its a good thing I dont depend on this kinda thing for an income.
I tried to lie, cheat, steal and bribe (all the things that you are taught not to do) to get an ADR at CM but no luck there.
It is time to go to plan E since plans A, B, C and D have failed. I havent given up yet. When we get to the world maybe I can threaten them in person (or attempt to get DD to give sweet eyes).
Anyway, we still want to do a CB so Plan E is get ressies @ CP. We have had to dinner @ CP before an enjoyed and I hope we will have the same luck for breakfast.
I still dont want a big breakfast on back to back days so that eliminates Tuesday and Thursday since we have breakfast @ the castle on Wednesday. We have the late night on Saturday with PPP so that rules out Saturday and Sunday. Pretty much only leaves Monday or Friday. We are leaving Friday morning so Monday is our first choice. Lets give this a try. Yes sir, we have a table for 8 at 7:30 or 9:25. WooHoo, give me the 9:25, the 7:30 is toooooo early for vacation. Thats done. No more ADRs till we get to the world.
It is time to advise the rest of the invaders of my executive compromise. "If that is the best you can do, we guess it will work." We will take this if it is all that is left, is the kinda feeling I am getting from my team. This is what we are doing and thats, that! I am the KING of this journey, so there.
Now I have to record the ressie in the PP book. Oh NOOOO. That is an EMH day @ the MK and a high crowd day according to UOG.
Oh well suck it up, cuz I aint changing this one.
DD doesnt care, she just likes to eat.
SEE!!
MORE CHANGES>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ok, now I have to go by the
Disney Store in NO on my way home to pick up the Jack Sparrow costume that clean lady is having held behind the counter, since it is the last one they have in my size. Not a problem, it is the middle of a weekday, there wont be a bunch of people in the mall. Right? Wrong, yet again. It is lunch time a week and a half before Mardi Gras. Judging by the crowds in the Disney Store a lot of people are leaving New Orleans for WDW. Just my luck. Take a deep breath and get the package behind the counter. The nice lady hands me the package and I notice it is a YOUTH large. UHHH,,,,mam this is not an ADULT large. Just a second, she says. Suzie, do we have an adult large in the Jack Sparrow Halloween costume? Suzie, in a very irritated sounding voice, says NO we dont stock those kind of things in adult sizes. That would not have been SO bad had Suzie not been on the other side of the very crowded store. Now everyone in the store is turning to see who in the world would be looking for something like that. With the line forming behind me there was nowhere to hide.
Now the problem was, what am I going to tell DD? It is too late to order it online now. It will never get here, in time. The nice lady behind the counter tells me about a party shop down the street. Thank goodness for Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, there is never a shortage of costumes around here.
I do find something. It is not the WHOLE costume, but it does have a bandanna with long hair, eye patch and an ear ring. I decided against the hat because I thought it would hide the bandanna. The big test, though, would be getting DD to approve of the change.
I thought about going to pick her up form school with it on but did not because I was not sure what some of the teachers might think about someone walking up to the school dressed like this.
Also, I might be recognized, and I sure dont want that to happen.
That being said, when I get home with her, I don the new digs while she is changing clothes and wait patiently on her to notice
.Hey daddy that looks cool. You can put on a white tee shirt and blue jeans and it will be great. Whew! I was fearful of her suggesting that clean lady put make up on me or something.

UP NEXT>>>>>>>>>LAST MINUTE CHECKS BEFORE THE TRIP with LIVE updates, I hope
Your trip plans sound wonderful so far, I can't wait to see the pirate costume. 
Last March, we made NO PLANS and had a blast. We just ate at ODD hours. It worked just fine.
Waht a great way to start the morning! I have complete confidence that you will be able to pull off geeting an ADR at CM's
We also went with NO PLANS last Jan and too, had a blast. I might try the breakfast at CP instead. Did dinner there last year and enjoyed. Thanks for the tip with ODD hours. Will try that @ DTD (and maybe a magarita or 2) 
Crystal Palace has a great Breakfast! the cinnamon puffed french toast is awsome!! 
Of course I did not save anything yet, I was still working with it. the only respose I could get was to shut it off. 
Needless to say, I lost everything. Now I have to attempt to redo everything. Wish me luck and pray for the laptop as to not throw it accross the office.
