Day 6 and some other things...
Good morning everyone!
Before I start with Day 6 plans, I wanted to tell you about the ticket drama I've been reading about on the Theme Parks and Strategies section of the DIS.
There is a thread about picking up tickets before your package starts, so naturally, I read it, because since we are arriving on 9/29, one day before our WL package starts, we would have to pick up our tickets early, which I've always been told is not a problem. Now apparently, it might actually be a problem. 
Some people are saying CM's are telling them that Disney is no longer letting people pick up their tickets before their package begins.
No one really knows if this is true or not, there is an actual CM on the thread who works in ticketing, saying it's not true, but then there is another one on there claiming to be a CM, saying it is. 
Who knows which one is right, now we're all just waiting for someone to go down and come back and tell us if we can still get our tickets early!
I'm hoping we can, I really want to be in the parks on our arrival night. I told Brandon there was a possibility that we might not be able to do that, and he said "well, cancel that first night then"! Haha, yeah right!
IF it's true, and we can't get our tickets early, then we might go to Universal that day. Or we might just hang out and relax. Maybe play some mini golf
I'm sure we will go over to DTD at some point if we can't be in the parks, so I made us an ADR at Raglan Road, just in case (which I'm already thinking of canceling and changing to Kona Cafe!)
We might want to go over to the Poly and hang out on the beach, maybe watch Wishes or something.
I don't know. I'm really annoyed about all of this. I wish they wouldn't change policies like this right in the middle of the year, I think that's a little unfair. Wait until next year, and let people know a few months in advance so they can plan around the changes. I booked that extra night because I did my research, read the whole tickets FAQ sticky thread on the DIS and even asked on the Resorts section of the DIS if people can pick up their tickets from a package early, and I guess it's always been that you can pick them up at least 3 days early. Now of course, 8 weeks before my trip, they are trying to change things. I'll keep you guys updated when I find out for sure.
Well, now to completely change the subject, I lost another 1.5 pounds!
I was actually kind of nervous I wouldn't lose this week, I forgot that every time you lose 10 pounds, you have to adjust your points with WW, and I forgot to do that, so I've been eating the same amount, but I guess it didn't matter! Yay! Now only 17 more pounds til my goal for Disney! 
Day 6 Plans!
This is our day of doing basically nothing! We have a late breakfast ADR at the Grand Floridian Cafe
and then the whole day is free, until later that night! Brandon wanted a day to go into Orlando and eat somewhere off Disney property, so it's up to him where we will be having dinner that night! I don't know what we're going to do all day, I'm hoping to go to the outlets at some point, and maybe hang out by the pool a little, but it will be nice to have a day to relax and not have to run around!
Later that night we will go over to
for our Haunted Carriage Ride, which I can't wait for! I think it's going to be so much fun, and I'm excited to see Fort Wilderness!
I'm sure by Tuesday, we are going to need this break, since we're going to be going crazy at the parks for 5 days up until then (unless of course, we can't get in to the parks on our arrival day
)!
54 days! I can't wait!!!

I hope everything is ok with the tickets too, I think we will know for sure in a week or so, when people start coming home from their trips saying if they still can get them early or not! I just have to be patient...something I'm not so good at...
