Yay! Disney Gave Me Something (Else) To Think About......
So for a minute, I need you all to focus on our November trip (because none of you have anything else to do: no kids to chase around, errands to run, jobs to go to.....) If you'll think way back to before I got sidetracked planning our August trip, one of the ADR's I made for Nov. is for dinner at Tokyo Dining. Steve and I ate there in January and had a great experience, plus the view of Illuminations from there is awesome. Well, in the last week or so they changed their menu
I didn't think anything of it until a thread popped up on the Restaurants board I decided to read. Someone posted the new menu there and lo and behold, the filet mignon, which is close to the only thing I thought Chris would eat, is gone. THEN, someone pointed out that as of now the menus on Allears and the official Disney menu are different 
So one has the filet but not the entrée I had in Jan., which is what I assumed Ricky would get; the other menu has my entrée but no filet! I know this is far from a huge problem but it's one place neither kid would eat a lot at. Ricky tends to go with the flow lately and at least wouldn't complain; he'd order something, eat part of it if he didn't like it, and then we'd just get him something else later. Chris will make a scene 
So at first I was just going to go in and change that reservation to something else. Being Thanksgiving week I don't feel like waiting and then not getting something we want. But now I think I may wait a couple weeks and see if the menus even out. I just really wanted to eat here again dammit! Although Steve and I could always go again in a few weeks..........Aaaaand....that's pretty much it! Don't have much exciting news to share at this point. Anxiously awaiting the 27th of this month, anxiously awaiting my D&B MB delivery. I need to do a little more planning as far as what the boys are doing while we're away; my mom will be here every night and most of the weekend and I have them going to friends Monday and Tuesday, but they want my oldest stepson to do something with them one day, too. We should be home by about 1:00 on Wed. so the boys will be fine alone that day after my mom goes to work. Plus I need to get going on buying school supplies before we leave so I don't have to worry about that when we get back - we're home on the 31st and they go back to school on the 6th, and I know I won't feel like rushing to get all that done those last few days! At least for boys there isn't a lot of back to school clothes buying, only a few pieces here and there.
Once we're back I'll be 22 days away from booking November FP's!! I'll have to start seriously looking into Etsy shops to order matching shirts Chris requested. Oh, one other thing
Both boys were looking over my shoulder when I ordered my MB and picked out a band they wanted, so I'll either pick them up on our Aug. trip or order them when we return. Not Dooney and Bourke bands lol, just character bands! Ricky wants this one
which makes sense since his favorite character has been Sorcerer Mickey for years.
Chris picked his favorite character, too
I was pretty happy they're both interested in having a character band! Steve said he'll stick with his old reliable plain ones......hopefully my band will come soon and I'll post a pic.
Finally, I went to see "Bad Moms" with some friends tonight after we had a couple drinks. Fun movie!
I agree with you that allears just needs to catch up. I'm completely cool with menu changes and I like that they do it, especially at places we frequent - keeps it interesting. And at most places the boys are ok but unfortunately TD was a little short on choices for them...I'll just have to see how it ends up when both menus match.
And 21 for August 
You know I normally don't plan too much around what the kids will and won't eat anymore; as long as there's at least one thing on the menu for them I go with it if Steve and I want to eat there. And I have no problem on vacation getting one or both of them something else after a meal if they didn't like what they ordered if they were willing to try something a little out of their comfort zone. However with the current 2 versions of the menus each only has something for one of them lol......we'll see what happens! Steve and I can always eat there in a few weeks but I really wanted the boys to see Illuminations from their deck.
You're missed around here! I'm happy to have you whenever you have a chance to say hi!
Getting very excited! Especially for the WL. I'm hoping Steve loves it and then we can see if there's anything available for our last 3 nights in Nov. and maybe move over there from CSR.....not that there's anything wrong with CSR!!
Also I cropped it out to get a close up view but just off in the upper left hand corner of the picture is the Indiana Jones sign from the theater. I don't remember the actual path of the parade but do remember at least once standing by those busts of famous people (Bill Cosby, anyone?) to watch it**
If you read the latest post you know I didn't get my dumb D&B band 
I didn't mind too much because I'm not the biggest Frozen fan and from what I'd heard, the Frozen parade, unless you reallllllly loved Frozen, didn't measure up to a true parade.
I guess they process too fast lol.
