Food & Wine & No Kids ~ A 2nd Honeymoon

[Zooshoveller]

Your plans look great. I'm curious what the lines will be like for 7DMT on party night. Everything is always a walk on. Two big meals and F&W? When we attended two years ago, we purchased one plate at the booths, shared them and still filled up. We are picky eaters and didn't try much.

Friday? Yeah, we may only check out one or two booths. A drink here, a snack there.

Our a/c went out yesterday. We live in the southern half of Alabama, so it's as hot and humid as WDW without a breeze and no magic. I texted my parents and we all stayed with them last night. It was a cross between heaven and a polar vortex, we slept well. I cried last night. Our a/c unit is old and needs to be replaced. That's at least $4000. We don't live quite pay check to pay check, we do have a little wiggle room and some savings. Savings is low right now because we upgraded our trip, and the only way I knew to pay for a new unit was to cancel our trip. B met our hvac friend this morning. He fixed a cracked pipe, filled up the freon, and $150 bucks later our house is cooling down quickly!

47 days to go!

Made our last payment last night. Usually we use our tax return and pay all at once, but this time we made one more payment because of the later extension. The website kept messing up on my laptop, but worked fine on my phone.

B and I decided last night we are going with Disneybound style costumes for MNSSHP. Mickey and Minnie. B - black tee, red shorts, yellow shoes. Me - black tee, red/white polka dot shorts, yellow shoes. I might switch and get a red/white shirt and black shorts. Oh, and maybe some ears! :earboy:

44 days to go!

So happy the A/C was fixed without replacing the unit. Our trip is paid for, something like that happens, we just won't eat after the trip.

That's fantastic that you have made the last payment.

60. We have completed our first elimination round, and we have 60 items we would like to try. That number will go down once we get prices. And once common sense enters the equation.

Well our friends aren't able to make it this time. So bummed. Her work schedule program messed up her time off request and now too many other coworkers have requested that same weekend, and his mother isn't doing well. She was going to go to HR and have them fix it, but they really need to stay close to home for the time being.

The only thing that we need to change is our ADR for V&A. Dropping it from 5 to 2 people.

Mickey Mail!!!

A little disappointed that the luggage tags are the same as the last ones (over a year ago), but WooHoo Mickey Mail! 33 days to go!

One month to go! It's the Final Countdown!

(Sorry for the ear worm)

Called Disney Dining to change our V&A reservations, and she connected us directly to V&A. For future reference, they handle their own stuff. Talked to a lovely girl. Normally they would call 7-10 days prior to confirm, but since I called we did all that today. I confirmed our date and time, and that we had no allergies or anything. She went over the dress code and transportation options.

I need to go do a little shopping for the trip, but I'm feeling so lazy. I might just start a packing list. That's productive and I can stay in my pjs.

Magic Bands have arrived!

26 days to go!

Isn't that a great feeling!?! Ours are still in the box, in my backpack, ready to go.

Wow, I would love to get a call from Victoria's and Alberts.

Yay for extending your trip at YC!!

I'm going to V&A in November, I'm excited to hear what you think about it!
