We are exactly 3 months out from our trip!
Time is going by kinda fast, but kinda slow (does that make sense). It was a very busy weekend, so those few days flew by.
The best part of the weekend: my best friend got engaged! And her fiancee is a DJ and proposed during his set (which we usually are there for), so we were there for the proposal.
So happy for them, and excited to help plan a wedding that isn't mine
A little bit of trip planning to report on: Ben called to check on our wait list status and got a little information. It turns out that there's no way for them to tell you where you are on the list/ your chances of getting the wait list choice. He also learned that at 7 days out (he thinks, may have the number of days wrong) they cancel the wait list. This was actually good news for me because I had visions of us taking ME to Kidani Village only to be told that we didn't have a room there and that we'd have to trek to the Boardwalk.
I'm glad that at least we'll know for sure where we are staying. And I truly am just as happy at one as the other. Here's why:
Kidani is less points (since we are not getting a savanna view), but less convenient location. Saving points for future trips is always a good thing! And we don't have kids and are pretty flexible with when we take resort breaks, etc. so if it takes longer to get around, no biggie.
Kidani is a pretty new resort. The reports and pictures I've seen all make it seem like this is a pretty eye-pleasing place! Plus the pool looks really cool.
The menu at Sanaa makes my mouth water. We have a reservation here, and I plan on keeping it no matter where we stay. It will be nice not to have to travel to AKL
just for dinner, though.
On the other hand...
Boardwalk couldn't have a better location, but it is more points. Being that close to Epcot (and DHS) would be awesome! But we'd have slightly fewer points to work with in the fall.
Dining/entertainment is tempting. Between the Boardwalk and the Yacht & beach Clubs, there are a few places I'd like to try. I've never been to Beaches & Cream, and would love to! Not that we can't if we don't stay over there... it would jsut be easier.
We also want to visit Jellyrolls and it would be nice to just walk back to our room after.
But...
the pool is creepy. We all know about the clown, right? The part that bothers me the most is the wacky hair that makes a wall on either side of his head. Freaky.
Add to all that the fact that we will eventually stay at whichever place we don't get to this trip, and it's true that we
really would be happy with either.
Before I got all sidetracked by that, I meant to post
Day 4 plans, so let's get on with it...
Wednesday, 5/4
We want to try and make opening for our Studios day. But since we aren't going to try for TSM, we have a little wiggle room here. Our main goal is to ride ToT and RNRC as many times as possible. I'd also like to see the Little Mermaid, since it's been several trips since I've done that.
We'll take a break in the afternoon and get a small lunch/snack. I purposely booked an early dinner at 'Ohana, and was thinking it could be our combined lunch-dinner. I feel like we are never hungry enough when we go there, so I want to make the most of it this time. This is one place that we will never skip. I just hope we get another awkward picture with our bread...
After dinner, we may pop into the MK for a moment. I'd like to see the Magic, Memories and You castle show. Have you all seen the video for that? It looks really neat!
But we can't be out too late, it's another early morning the next day!
Only thing I don't care for...that creepy clown!!! 
I adore this place... the BBQ chicken salad is so good! And it was closed on our last trip, so I gotsta get my fix this time around.
