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

[Lisa F]

reading through RoL rumors, from someone who sounds like he is in the know:
GPS isn't an issue anymore. That said, there was another minor collision in tests, after pressure was put on the team to deliver the show in a short window almost 2 weeks ago until another creative disagreement between top creative egos has now put the show on course for December. The team truly believed softs would have started a few days ago. The wait continues.

I think it is time. if they soft open during our trip I am not going to change course on the fly. If they are not soft opening til december it seems to me chances of first week are less and less... they might try to get a grand opening to correspond with high christmas crowds.

Yup... I agree... Fingers crossed but I really am doubtful it will happen...

Good tip about the yogurt...I actually hate yogurt (it's a texture thing), but I know it's good for me. I do have some probiotics I should start taking though. I normally drink a ton of water, but today not drinking as much as I should because of my tummy. I just refilled my 32 oz. bottle though for the second time today, so making a little progress in the hydration front. I also just had some toast and have managed to keep that down so far.

@Lisa F I have always said the reason I'm addicted to shoes and purses is because it doesn't matter how fat you are, anyone can use them!

Seriously though @JamieOak check out Torrid! They have super cute clothes there, and lots of Disney designs. I'm horribly self-conscious about my arms though, so I really don't wear tank tops...if that doesn't bother you, you'll like them!

I just bought another shirt on Etsy. Someone stop me!!

so normally i catch up with people and friends and stuff on FB in the evenings. I still can't bear it (I deactivated my account. I don't know why. It just seemed like more of a thing than not logging on). I did leave messenger installed on my phone so i can talk to people privately, I don't mind that. I just can't bear being "out in the world" right now, especially the world of the internet (disney internet is different).

But what I do have is the jibjab elf movies. So I think I will watch those tonight. and hang on the DIS.

Good luck on the water intake. Hopefully, it'll help!

LOL, you may be worse than me on the shopping front! I stopped with the clothes and am just getting other small stuff like bug spray! LOL

Ta-da...today might just be shaping up to be a good day after all...after purchasing shoes to get over my election night energy slump...I just changed a Garden Grill ADR that I've been looking to change for at least a month! Our old reservation was for 8:45 the morning after MVMCP...and we are NOT morning people. Today, I finally changed it to 10:10---Woo-hoo! Now if we are tired from a busy night, we can sleep in a bit...should be able to get in 8 hours! And if we are up and at 'em, we can get to Epcot for Rope Drop and ride Soarin' before breakfast.

I love the 2 Prep and Landing specials, I think you'll really enjoy them!

that's it. I bought the used DVD on amazon for like $9 and have had it since jibjab was announced. Will watch it with the kiddo tonight. Also do not feel like cooking. so I guess it will be dinner and a movie with my best guy

Sometimes it's easier that way. This is why I love Disney and the world of animation and books and anything to do with imagination in general. Enjoy jibjab! I just noticed netflix has zootopia and inside out. I may ask DH just to watch that tonight.

@areno79 That's really terrible that you are so sick and not able to just rest! I'm an RN (spent years as a family practice advice nurse) and will tell you although it's possible the antibiotic might be the cause of your vomiting I don't think it's likely - unless you also have a rash - extreme allergic reactions can cause vomiting, but that's usually just before you go into anaphylaxis. You need rest and fluids more than anything!!! I really hope you start feeling better soon!

Thanks @jillyh ! I don't get sick often, but when I do it's a doozy. I think all of these years of working from home has weakened my immune system or something. That's a good point about the allergic reaction. I'm allergic to amoxicillin and I break out in a rash when I take it. The only medicine I've taken that caused an anaphylactic reaction for me was Tramadol...and I had to be rushed to the ER because I broke out in hives and my throat started closing up.

I think it is time. if they soft open during our trip I am not going to change course on the fly. If they are not soft opening til december it seems to me chances of first week are less and less... they might try to get a grand opening to correspond with high christmas crowds.

I've just given up at this point. I have a tight schedule as it is, and I'm just annoyed at Disney. LOL

I still need to see P&L! I'll have to check Amazon and Netflix.

Thanks for the tip about Zootopia! Maybe I'll watch it tonight. I love watching Disney movies when I'm sick.

Ok, talk me into canceling one of my Tusker ADRs. It's for 6 people at 5:25 on Thursday 12/8. It wouldn't be a good time for ROL anyway if it ever happened (which is why I held it) plus my touring plans has me finishing in that part of the park after lunch (when I have Tusker lunch for 6 people). I can't see why I need this and I feel like I'm hoarding but don't know why with ROL still up in the air I'm hesitant to drop any of my ADRs at AK.

And if anyone here wants it let me know! That would be a great reason to shed it.

Agree this is the one place I can go today on the internet and not read about politics!

Agree! Hate to disagree with Dis peeps, but I'm very optimistic about the future of this country. I am glad the whole thing is over and only hope that it doesn't last 2 years next time!

Hope everyone is feeling better now.

Today, I ordered some Christmas necklaces from a site called flashingblinkylights. They already shipped, but I am too lazy to grab a picture.

Think I felt emotionally drained today more than anything..and the late night didn't help. I'm the type to see strengths and weaknesses to both sides...just wish i saw more strengths this year. Glad it's over.

There it is...this puts a smile on my face every time I see it. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with this, but I am! Yum! Hope it's not too chilly outside to really enjoy it.

Does anybody know what kind of bounce back offer will be going on while we're there?

It will be the room only discount for dates in 2017. I'll post the information when I get home.
