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

[JamieOak]

It's official that 2 of my 3 Etsy MB decal orders have now beat my MBs to my house. Today these came. DH's request was a "camo magicband" when I asked him what color band he wanted. As you can see by our couch covers, we like camo. So Etsy came through with a Realtree MB skin and he got an orange MB. I can't wait to put them together. I ordered 2 skins in case we really screw up putting it on the first time. If we don't, I'll have to decide between the camo skin and the other decal I ordered for myself. More decisions!

I'm glad google came to your rescue! Luggage is so expensive these days so it's definitely worth it to clean it instead of replacing it.

Thanks for reminding me. I just told DH to get the luggage from the basement. His response "We have a month woman!" Me: "Actually just 19 days dear." His face was a bit .

Luggage is now in the bedroom...Yay!

So true. I don't actually own luggage. My parents have great luggage but since we never travel together we just borrow it. Bonus: they store it at their place! We are picking ours up next week.

Speaking of park bags, I forgot I bought one ages ago and found it in my closet but now I'm worried it's not going to work because the straps aren't padded. But it's roomy and looKS nice. It's like this but made of canvas, same design though (tote that converts to backpack ). https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5034-453/Travel-Light-Tote#

Beautiful cats!

Oh the skins are nice too!

Our MBs are still stuck in York PA!

DD and I stopped at Kohl's and picked up some cute t-shirts, a hoodies and shoes.
We started breaking in our shoes this morning.

@Candycane83 safe travels and have fun at the wedding! Best wishes to the couple.

@areno79 feel better!

How loaded down will it be? If you're just carrying some lightweight items (a couple ponchos, a phone, battery, wallet, etc...) it'll probably be fine. I'm not convinced the padding really does all that much most of the time anyway.

I've never actually been to the BW to drink! We always intend to go to Jellyrolls but never have made it on any of our trips!

I didn't get to go to my 90 minute Zumba today I woke up with horrible chest congestion and sinus pressure. I was determined to go anyway, and even got dressed and in the car. Then I started coughing so badly I almost threw up, so I decided puking on the Zumba floor may not be the best thing to get me motivated so I skipped it. I have been out running errands, slowly though. I went to the new Dollar Tree on the other side of town and they had some cool Disney stuff! I got Disney themed anti-bac wipes, a couple of small Christmas decorations, and some other random crap I can't remember. I'm also trying to make a Mickey wreath so have been hitting up all the craft stores in town to find the right size wreaths. Oh, and If anyone is interested, my Dollar Tree had tons of Moana stuff!

DH wants to go see Dr. Strange, but I want to lay in bed and watch movies. We'll see how I'm feeling later.

Hope you feel better!

We just got here! Unfortunately I realized I forgot my shoes right when we got to the hotel room! Had to go shoe shopping in a hurry and lucky I found a plain black pair

I forget your dates, but we always up for a meet up if you want. I'm an introvert too, but there's plenty of alcohol to help with that at Disney. I can't speak for favorite places since this is basically our first trip, but I have read good reviews on Jellyrolls (dueling piano bar) and Abracabar on the BW. We tentatively have a Flying Fish ADR, but I'm not 100% sure about going there. One of the main things I want on their menu is the Peanut Butter Freeze drink that comes with chocolate covered bacon.

I loving baking, but usually on do it once a year when I cook a billion Christmas cookies to hand out at Christmas. I always say I want to bake more. Today I need to make progress on dealing with some of the left over vegetables from the garden. Stuffed Pepper soup and Butternut Squash soup are on my list. And I have to do a practice run of deviled eggs today. I've never made them, though I love eating them, and I am taking them to 2 Thanksgiving events over the next two weeks. Since I get a dozen eggs a day from the poultry, I'm always looking for new ways to use eggs.

Aww, yeah, I can never remember anyone's dates, lol. I feel like you might be a bit earlier than me, but I'm there the 6th-11th. And I've def heard that about Jellyrolls too! In all the times I've been to WDW I've still NEVER made it over to the boardwalk. And peanut butter freeze with chocolate covered bacon?!? Yes please and thank you!!! I hear ya on the baking. I am determined to do it more often this fall and winter. I can bring extra leftovers to work to share the calories! Lol. BTW, your soups sound awesome!

@areno79 same on Jellyrolls. Maybe this trip I'll make it over there! And that sucks about the Zumba, but like you said, better to not throw up in the middle of class, lol. But I'm so sorry you're sick! Ugh. Hopefully all out of your system now, so you'll be nice and healthy for the trip! Hope you were able to spend the rest of the day relaxing in your pajamas!

 

[crazedprincess]

Ahhhhhh! Can't contain our excitement.... we just placed our BOG lunch order today for Dec. 5th!!!! You would have thought it was Christmas morning here, my girls were so hyped!!! *squeeeeeeeee*

Magic bands just arrived 2 days ago. WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!!!

 

[DisneyBelle27]

@JamieOak I forgot to mention, your cats are adorable!

Haven't gotten to taste it yet, but the cinnamon roll apple pie is out of the oven and frosted! Hope it's yummy!

 

[Lothlórien]

3 weeks from now, at this moment, I will be in EPCOT with my daughter.

Our MBs are in Warrendale, PA now! Getting closer.

Those are pretty cats!

Thanks. It's practically impossible to get a picture of anything without a cat included. They photobomb everything.

Yep we are earlier than you. We are 11/27-12/4. It's pretty easy to get a late night ADR at Flying Fish if you wanted to stop there for an appetizer/dessert and a drink. They might also have a bar to sit at so you might not even need an ADR.

I can vouch that the Mickey ear santa hats are not horse size.

Game, set, match.
Best picture on the thread!!

No offense to anyone else that posted pictures of course. But I mean, c'mon! It's a horse with a Santa Mickey hat!

 

[DisneyBelle27]

@JamieOak I went to the Google and Flying Fish does indeed have its own bar area

Bummer that I'll be missing you guys by a couple days!

And seriously, I'm still waiting for transporter technology to be invented, I'd totally beam you a slice of pie!

Totally agree! Best pic of anything with a Mickey hat ever!

Love it!! Made my daughter giggle, too.

 

[SilSprBea]

Just wanted to say hi! Two exciting Disney things for us today.

(1) our magic bands shipped!!!!
(2) I ordered our BOG breakfast for 12/5. I sure hope Disney doesn't shift the hours that day so we can keep our PPO!

Hope you are all having a nice Saturday.

 

[DisneyBelle27]

OMG OMG OMG! I did it! I booked the Savor the Savanna: Evening Safari Experience! Ever since I first read about it I haven't been able to get it out of my head! I kept telling myself that it would be booked up already, and that if RoL ended up actually starting it would probably conflict, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it! So I called up and booked the 4:30 tour in 12/9. And even though it's not listed on the Disney Visa website, it was eligible for that 15% discount! I figure it will include sunset on the savanna during that time, and it's the earliest slot, so that if there is RoL I might still be able to catch it (tour is supposed to be about 2 hours). But OMG I am so excited for this!!!!

So cool! These tours look so fun. I just wish that my kids were older (both below the age for most of these!) and not so expensive for a family of 4. I imagine you'll have a fabulous time. I can't wait to hear all about it afterwards.
