***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

Hey guys,
I just posted a whole host of ADR's in the December Cancelled thread. If anyone wants any of them...let me know! (I'm on my phone so it's a PITA to copy/paste them.)
 
I'm usually a last min packer, but I packed most of our suitcases last night. We leave for the airport Weds afternoon, but I'm working 10am-9pm Mon and Tues. I also have a tooth hurting and my dentist was closed for the holiday weekend so I need to squeeze that in somewhere before we go. I got worried I might not have much time to pack so I figured I should get to it. Since we are only going Weds-Sun I decided to try to fit it all in 2 carry-ons for 2 adults and 2 kids. It's tight, but I did it.
 
Making progress on the vacation front.
Thursday I went to JC Penney and bought another suitcase. It was a great deal at only $40! I also got a really cute Minnie Mouse winter hat, which I might need at nighttime in the parks.
I also found a Star Wars shirt at Kohls, and finished my Mickey Mouse wreath.
I also decided on Biergarten for our CP lunch (instead of GG.) I know DH is really into shows and even though the food doesn't appeal to me, I know he'll love the theming. Luckily I was able to find a 12:00 for the 5pm CP show.
Now I've also decided to try to surprise DH and get a Coral Reef lunch for our last day. Right now we have a Le Cellier lunch, but he has been obsessed with going to Coral Reef. I didn't want to go because of the so-so reviews, but I know he'll be thrilled. Now I just have to stalk and find an ADR. LOL

Other than that, I'm cleaning up my Touring Plans (still undecided on our AK day), but have MK, and US/IOA done.
A lot seems to be opening up. Don't ask why I am still checking lol. I know coral reef gets meh reviews but i love it. I also love le cellier.
 

this thread is majorly slowing down as people are off lol. It's been a very busy thanksgiving weekend for me. Then I have a ton to get done at work and at on of packing. Still making some last minute tweaks to my plans believe it or not but it is feeling as solid as it can be now.
 
So not only did I finally get my friends old disney passes (for sdfp) yesterday, she also gave me a ton of clothes for dd (her dd is a few years older than mine). And that was a life saver because as we were packing this morningI found out dd has outgrown all her shorts! Thank goodness we got a bunch of shorts and skorts from my friend because no one is selling shorts right now.
 
I have got to start packing today! We leave Wednesday and work will probably be crazy the next two days. We're also furiously trying to get all our Christmas decorations up before we leave town so the house is a giant mess and our dog sitter is supposed to come over today.

I am not even home now. I will be home around 5 and will have to make dinner etc, but tonight my goal is to pack my toiletries (i keep it 75% packed for travel, I have a bag I can leave packed since I travel a lot). the problem is i'll be packing a lot of clothes that we will wear this week so wednesday night is when I really will be packing!
 
Had my nails done today, really happy with them.



Had a pedicure as well but think I made a mistake in going for a very dark green instead of the gold which was my second choice. Have a gorgeous pair of open toed strappy burgundy sandals for our cruise and should have gone with gold!
 
Tweaking here, too! I am very happy today because I was advised by this thread, I think, that a 5:20 H&V dinner was cutting it too close to make Fantasmic! So I used my tier one Fastpass for F!...but still tight. I walk VERY slowly because of my lung issues. Anyway, today, a 4:20 opened up! Perfect! Two hours for dinner, then plenty of time to get to F!...I assume with only two of us we will take less than two hours...out by 6:00, then F! is my goal! Then, I switched out my tier one fp for TSM...DDs favorite ride at HS. Yay! With a little pixie dust, might even be able to get a F! fp after riding TSM. That is shaping up to be a fun arrival day for us!

We will do most of the laundry tonight and start the packing tomorrow but on Wednesday night will have to wash a few things we will wear the next few days since Thurday will be too hectic with working and then having to go out for a quick dinner before taking the dog to the kennel and trying to possibly go to sleep early since we will be getting up early to go to the airport for our 6:15 am flight on Friday.
 
in other news I think I might JUST about be done tweaking my plans lol
Yay!
I need help with my AK day.

So we're going to EMH on Saturday at 8am, and have a Tusker House ADR at 9:30am. Problem is, we have a Safari FP+ at 9:05. I'm not sure if we should keep the 9:05 FP or go to the Safari at rope drop. Also, I don't want to be crisscrossing all over the park, so if we do the Safari at 8am, I'm not sure what else we could do after that and before our 9:30 ADR, besides ITTBAB.
Help! LOL

Help! LOL
Could you do the Wildlife train to the petting area and conservation station area? If that is enough time. . .? Otherwise going on one of the trails to find some animals? Looking at the Tree of Life? Photos?
Good luck!
