An ever-changing February 2011 PTR!

I have eaten at Tony's on the last two trips that I've taken, and each time it's been really good. I've eaten there at lunch though, and their menu is a little different at lunch rather then dinner. I say stick with it.

What'd you have at Tony's? I've heard the chicken parm is pretty good, but I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I should stay away from!

Thanks! I'm kind of a freak about planning. It's always interesting for me here though, because while I have everything planned out, it's always fun to see if the plans actually work out.

I know what you mean! I'm completely obsessive about planning (it's a little scary to some, ) but it doesn't always turn out the way I plan. Hopefully if that happens this time it'll be in a good way!

I've had the Tony's Flatbread (which I think is only served at lunch), and I've had the Chicken Florentine calzone. Both were very good. Other people that I've gone with haven't had anything bad either. My SIL loves the eggplant parm.

Well I should be doing homework right now, but we all know how that goes!

I'm now in the midst of planning another two trips (one to Asheville as a surprise for my mom! and another to Disney NEXT year!!). I'm super excited, but crazy stressing since I seem to only have 1 shirt to wear since my super adorable castle t-shirt showed up rather short I did recently get this though:

It's soooo comfy and soft but I'm not sure the parks will be cold enough for me to use it :\ My clothing is not being exactly helpful lately.

I also have a trip bag! It reminds me a bit of a Dalek, but I test drove it today and it was wonderful! I'll hopefully have a picture to throw up here pretty soon. But I do have a picture of my new suitcase:

I found it at Ross, marked at $37.99 from $300!! The inside is adorable, it's stripey and has the absolute best organizers. I'm talking two slots for shoes, a toiletries holder, a random mesh pocket, and strap things. I also got some new sneakers and flats, so I'll have 2 pairs of park shoes. I'm going to Smithfield tomorrow (a local outlet area) to hopefully get some shirts (I need about 5 or 6 more!). I also still need to get a camera case (I got my new Canon and it's brilliant), some laundry detergent, maybe some sunscreen (can't tell if mine is expired or not), an over the door shoe organizer, and go to Coinstar to get my coins condensed. ALSO get a mani/pedi because my feet are nasty. I ONLY HAVE 12 DAYS, MIGHT I REMIND YOU.

I also need to decide if I'll be bringing my laptop. It's a netbook so it's not too much to carry but I'm not sure I'll need it, since I'm going to finish all my schoolwork before I leave/when I get back.

I'm going to be getting an extra battery thing (one of those plug in chargers) for my iPhone so I can use it on the plane ride down and not worry about it dying in the parks. Anyone have experience with these?

Well I suppose I'll sign off...to anyone still around this thing...and get some homework done! Have a great night everyone!

12 days to go! That's so exciting! Mine is only 20 days ago. I'm getting excited too!

That is such a great deal that you got on your suitcase. Can't beat that. Love the sweatshirt too!

Well, ladies and gentlemen. Last time we heard from me I had no shirts to wear, a million things to do, and had 12 days to go. Now, I have found shirts! Have 2 days to go! And have only around 500,000 things to do...including rethinking all of my reservations

A little back-story. I got the oh-so elusive reservations at none other than LE CELLIER! I found them only a few days ago for 2/3 at 2:10PM. Of course if you've been following my PTR, you'll notice something a little odd. I have CRT ADRs for the same day, only 2.5 HOURS BEFORE LC! "How could she be so dumb?!" you may be asking yourself. Well, I was blinded by the promise of good food and the exclusive rights to say "I'M GOING TO A REALLY HARD TO GET INTO RESTAURANT AND YOU AREN'T". Now, however, I'm seriously considering cancelling unless I can rearrange some of the ADRs. Either CRT or LC, because I don't honestly want to give either up.

Moving on, I got the battery charger for my iPhone and it works! Only $15 on Amazon.com. Definitely something I'd recommend for those using the famously bad battery phone.

I'm also on a "To add or not to add" kick for the Park Hopper. I'll really need it if I keep that LC res on 2/3, but I'm not 100% into it just yet. I have a friend (also a Disney addict) who provided a persuasive argument for getting it (different ADRs, specialty shopping, a different park every hour, the usual) but it's another $72 in a place where prices are so high that could be dinner...for one person. I'm hoping this will all sort itself out...and very soon.

As for pictures...I'm sorry but this is a picture-less update. I'm a little too to get any pictures of my purse...or clothes...or really anything right now!

I hope everyone has a good night, after this thoroughly confusing PTR update

--Also, can I just add that I have no idea how I'm going to bring everything I'm starting to feel like I'll need into the parks in my tiny cross body? When I bought it I thought I had all the space in the world and now I feel like I've got to get a desktop into a clutch D:

Only 10 more days now!

That sweatshirt was such a steal - I got it at Disney Store for only $20!!
