DBF has decided not to come with me. I had told him (since he doesn't like the whole "being herded like cattle" thing) that he could come with me, hang out at the resort and pool while I was in the parks in the morning, and then we'd go do stuff at night. I think he's more the "beach vacation" type, which is very disappointing but I can't hold it against him - his family just never took him to WDW as a kid and he didn't get it in his blood like I did. I was hoping he'd decide to come, but now I know I will probably be solo. It's more sad because this will probably really be the only vacation I take this year because I just got a new job; I was hoping he'd be there. But who knows? Maybe there will be some vacation time for me.
I'm trying to decide now whether to invite my mom. I'd pay for the room and tickets, she already has a flight credit she has to use. But she has early stage emphysema, and I'm concerned that the heat and humidity would be awful on her. She really reacts to heat, and I don't want to invite her and her come and be terrible the whole time. She would be miserable if she was stuck in the room, or holding me up, and I don't want to be irritated with her for something she can't control, or walking around worried about her the whole time. I am still figuring it out.
But I am pretty sure I am locked in on the dates and the resort (barring a hurricane of course!). I thought maybe I'd stay elsewhere to save money, but the fact is that I have the money and I want to stay at BC, dammit. Here's a HUGE pic I took of the pool when DBF and I went to YMS for dinner back in 2010.
I think with my rather minimal time, I'm thinking I'm going to nix US. I'd like to go, but there is SO much I want to do at Disney that it would be silly to go, by myself, over to US. However, this plan might change.
So I'm still thinking and planning. I believe I'm going to call and try to reserve the Epcot Segway tour for Monday September 17th. Yes, it will be a rough morning - I will have traveled the day before and then been at EMH at MK until midnight, but my plan is to bus over to MK that night (to avoid the TTC) and then catch a cab at the Contemporary back to BC if the bus line is too long. Therefore, I'm hoping to be sleeping at 1 a.m., which would make getting up at 8 the next morning not too awful. I could come back after the tour and nap if needed. I love the early mornings, but I have a few late EMHs planned this trip so we'll see what happens.
One more thing I'm contemplating if I'm solo is trying this:

I made a spreadsheet of the attractions at MK that I think I could make it through with no problem, and I got up to 57 rides/attractions. It might be kind of fun, though it will all depend on my stomach issues and crowds for the day. The rules say no GACs and I typically use one for very long lines (so, pretty much only TSMM and Peter Pan, haha) - but if I hit the rides that usually have long lines early, I might be able to pull it off. Again, just thinking it over.
Ok, that's all for now.
And Japan and America are nice too!

I called Disney about a LM room at AoA on my last night just today (off work and getting some stuff done), but they said there were no regular rooms available right now! Just suites! I will try again in a month or so just to see; I think it would be fun to go swim in that Nemo pool.
