Totally kicking back....I’m currently sitting on my balcony with my feet up watching these little fellas. They are rather bold and run in very large packs.

We had room service for breakfast and I’ve been out here trying to sip my tea but they sent me a large pot of water in a coffee carafe. Those of you that are tea drinkers will understand why that’s not good. Bless them for the effort of getting me a larger pot but I guess next time I’ll stick to the single size which comes in a little tea pot. No idea what today’s plans are (DD is still laying in bed) maybe down to the beach for a bit...there’s almost no beach here after the last hurricane but there is a seating area for privilege guests.

At first glance I thought it was a lemur but after further research (yeah I know I need a vacation) anyhow they are
coati, pronounced koh-ah-tee.
Very cool

Well in true Monopoly tradition, I got breakfast this morning (so got 6 pieces!) and won... a Lil Donut. I think we tried them when they first came out and weren't fans. But since it's free food, we'll probably get one.

I hummed and hawed over booking a trip the last week of October and went for it. I did the math, best ways to use my AM, flights or a Disney ticket? Ticket worked out a bit cheaper over all so I did that. Now I am waiting for that ticket! First it was supposed to arrive in 24 hours, I called and they said 3 - 4 days (had to call Redtag, since AM told me I'd get it 48 hours before my trip... yeah no). Still nothing and now I'm starting to worry. I bought the other ticket so just need this one so I can book my parks. Beginning to second guess my decision, perhaps I should have gone with flights instead. Trying to remain calm, will call again tomorrow at lunch time if I still don't have it. I wish they were more clear in the emails and website (and never mind that arimiles put the wrong phone number in the email).

I emailed last night, and this morning it came! Phew, managed to get the ticket linked and my parks reserved. Next pay day (Tuesday) I will get the last few gift cards and be all set. And I already started packing... it's not like we need shorts and swimsuits until the trip. Now I can focus my worry on all the other stuff

YAY...someone is finally going!!! I’m so jelly....we both desperately want get back to WDE. Even if I felt like that was an option for me the timing would have been beyond bad. I saw pics of the 1st and 2nd crowds....that’s a HUGE no for me. It reminded me of the 4th of July which was the worst I’ve personally seen.

I'm a little nervous of the crowds, I'll be honest, but we are really just ride people, no desire to see the fireworks or shows, I think the wait times have been not too bad this week as well, hopefully that continues. We'll take breaks at the hotel pool everyday. I am also happy to see that Florida rates are dropping. I think it will be strange though, we normally go end of August into the sauna that is Florida, I suspect the weather may not be quite as hot as we are used to down there. Still hotter than here, but maybe we won't melt quite as much. Kiddo didn't want to add water parks because only BB is open and we preferred the other one.

This week is pretty slim pickings as far as Airmiles go.

I am going to do the use $10AM Cash +25AM at Metro each day from Thursday to Sunday. Will pick up groceries I still need for dinner on Sunday. That will be the 100AM for the week. Most of the offers in the flyers are things I can't eat anymore or aren't good value for the AM. Maybe things will pick up again after the holiday weekend.

DH filled up at Shell tonight and we got 100AM (#2 of 5).

Theoretically the offer from 2weeks ago with nature valley granola bars and liberte yogurt and I think Cheerios for 100 AM should be on until Oct 27. Does anyone know if there’s somewhere to double check? It’s not in the flyer this week and my store did not have tags on the shelf but it’s supposed to still be on based on the flyer 2 weeks ago.

use the link I provided for the flyers above, you can search all the way back to 2012 I think!

Anyone know if the Red Tag Disney tickets can be upgraded to an AP?
