I found this site earlier in the week and spent hours reading the posts, and making a few myself. Finding you guys really helped in my planning process. Heck, you had a lot to do with devising the plan.
This is my first pre-trip report, so please bear with me.
Tuesday I received an email from a counterpart in central Florida inviting me to a planning meeting next Friday, 10/27. Of course the meeting is in Orlando. So, I forward the email to my supervisor.
Wednesday I spoke with my supervisor and the chief deputy (I'm in law enforcement), and got the approval. At this point I figured I'd just drive to Orlando on Thursday, go to the meeting on Friday and drive home
Thursday, Continue hanging out at the DIS, and the wheels start to turn. Call the DW, "See if you can get next Thursday and Friday off. I have to go to Orlando for a meeting. We can spend a couple of days visiting the mouse." "Cool, I'll let you know."
Friday morning, the DW gets approval. Cool!
Call the kennel and make reservations for the boys (2 Labrador Retrievers). Cool!
Read a post about MNSSHP. Tickets still available for 10/27. Order tickets. Cool!
Order a one day park hopper for Saturday. Cool!
Call and make reservations at the POP for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Cool!
Get home and brainstorm with the DW. I ask the DW, "What are you going to do Friday while I'm at my meeting?" "Shopping!" Oh lordy!
I also tell her she's in charge of dining, and show her where to find the restaurants on disney.com. She picks out a couple.
Call and make reservations at Liberty Tree Tavern on Friday evening and Le Cellier for lunch on Saturday. Cool!
She also likes to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe, so we may do that on Thursday evening, and I may call and see if there are reservations available for Mickey's Backyard BBQ for Saturday evening.
Well, that's the grand plan. So far.
