Plus, this is a significant one for me... I was named after 2 Packer legends and my Dad's family is from Pittsburgh.

That's awesome! Well not that they are from Pittsburg, but the idea that you have ties to each team in a way. Ack! I can't wait!

We'll also leave some hot cocoa and a seat by the fireplace for you. We Hoosiers need to thaw out.

We will be there during President's week. Staying CL and are very excited. It will be our first time at WL (we always stay at the Poly).

With the 42% AP discount we decided WL was the way to go this trip!

Here at Wl now & yep hot tubs are down but can use the villas. Geyser is down too which we weren't happy about & were never told about. We spent quite awhile waiting for it as it was a main reason we stayed & we had made a big deal about it to our kids. when I asked about it was finally told it was down & should be back going middle of February.

Alright
I had a moment of clarity, or insanity I'm not sure which, and changed our entire plan for the week. There were so many things we wanted to do and I want to fit as many in as I can without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. SO here it is:

Saturday: Arrival
Liberty TT - Dinner (MK day!)

Sunday: Kona - Breakfast (HS day!)

Monday: Le Cellier - Lunch
Teppan Edo - Dinner (E day!)

Tuesday - US/IoA - Margaritaville

Wednesday - Fulton's - Dinner (No park planned)
Followed by a night of entertainment at Jellyrolls!

Thursday - Fishing trip (sssshhhh don't tell the DH!)
Via Napoli - Late lunch (E day!)

Friday - Tusker House - Breakfast (AK day!)
'Ohana - Dinner ( followed by fireworks on the beach)

Saturday - Home
