There's just not enough "action" on this thread!
Good afternoon ABD peeps!

Hi Dodie (and other ABD Travelers)!

I admit, I have been silent over here. Trust me, I can get chatty. I've just had a
VERY busy past two weeks.

DD6 just finished Kindergarten. Today was her last day of school.

My "baby girl" is all grown up. I was her Room Mom and also helped coordinate a school-wide Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony. Phew! That was a
HUGE undertaking. We did the whole cap and gown graduation with singing, refreshments and a balloon release outside at the end. The kids loved it! That made all the hard work and planning worthwhile to me.

Like my daughter, I was ready for the school year to end. I am ready to start
MY summer vacation too!!!!!

We head to WDW a week from Saturday (roadtrip). We arrive on Sunday, June 21st (Father's Day). I called Disney Dining yesterday to tweak some reservations and threw in a few surprises for DH. We are staying at SSR. I heard they have an amazing spa. So on our arrival day, I booked DH for a massage. That will be his Father's Day present. He has been hinting he wants the
House boxed set. That will have to wait. I can't wait to see his expression when we head to the spa instead of the pool (I have it all planned out in my head

). The last massage he had was last year on CC during our couples-cabana massage. He thoroughly enjoyed it (as did I!). Initially, we were suppose to depart WDW on Friday, June 26th. As a surprise, I booked us for the weekend (June 26th - 28th) at the Yacht Club resort. More Disney fun!!!!!

Also for DH's birthday on June 25th, I booked Kid's Nite Out. So, we can have a childless dinner at Tutto Italia. DH loves Italian food. He has always wanted to eat at Tutto Italia. But, I heard it was expensive and we wanted to save it for just DH and I. Epcot has EMH that night. So, I plan to return to a room with three sleeping children.


This ABD trip is still a surprise. I am
AWFUL at surprises. I want to tell DH so badly. But, I want to wait until his birthday too. I got notification of his other birthday present today. I purchased him a Legacy paver at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. They sent me a brick engraved with what I put on the paver and a certificate.
This is what I put on the paver:
#1 Cowboys fan
UR #1 in my heart!
Happy Bday Bill
DH was born and raised in Texas (Dallas area). As expected, he is a die-hard Cowboys fan.

So, I thought this was extremely appropriate for him.

Two Questions:
Anyone eat at Tutto Italia?
Anyone have experience with the spa at SSR?
