Is it a secret or a lie? August 2019 Bday trip - 7/29 Update

Woo hoo!! So close!!

It's so close!

I haven't done rainforest or T Rex at DS, but I'd probably pick T Rex because we also can do Rainforest in AC if we want to. T Rex isn't something we can get to here.

I think Trex looks like fun, but I prefer the menu at Rainforest. I guess I should consult with the rest of the family too. I forget about them sometimes.

Still trying to finalize our ADRs. I'm thinking of dropping our 'Ohana's breakfast before MHSSHP. I've been looking at either T-REX or Rainforest Cafe, mainly because I plan to buy discounted Landry's GCs at Costco. Spending $80ish sounds way better than $175.

Which one do you prefer, T-Rex or Rainforest?

We haven't been to either. But I totally understand wanting to save a few $$$$. Maybe T-Rex since there are Rainforest Cafes in other locations? But I feel like Rainforest Cafe may be a little less loud. But I don't know that for sure...

Sunday 8/18 - DH's birthday. California Grill Brunch - travel day

We are 3 days away from our trip! And I can finally be excited. If you are on the Credit Card thread you already know, but for those of you that aren't let me tell you the terrible screw up I made.

DH earned the Southwest Companion pass (CP) from credit card churning. The CP allows me to fly with him for only $5.60, I just have to book the ticket separately. If you need to modify the trip you can't have the CP booked, so I normally wait until closer to the trip to book my CP (usually 2 weeks before), this time I screwed up and missed that window. I went to book my CP on Monday and the flight was completely sold out! Lots of other things went wrong on Monday but that was the worst. I was on the phone with SW for an hour trying to get my return flight booked.
I book a flight to Orlando, thankfully we have lots of SW points, 29,000 points later and I had a terrible flight to Orlando. At least I had a ticket and it was "free." I spent the next 48 hours refreshing the SW page and finally this morning 4 seats opened up on the flight. So thankful everything is right and I can be excited for our trip.

I have sooo much to do before our trip!
I have to go to Costco today to buy some Landry's discounted gift cards. I bought our Landry's Select Club membership, DH has $55 in rewards for our trip.
I have to take DD to get her uniform skirt hemmed
Do some laundry
Clean the house
And pack! I'm starting to regret the 3 resort idea. Just trying to figure out how to pack. And for the first time DD1 wants to pack her own stuff, I don't like giving up control.

THREE more days people

Talk about waiting until the last minute to order stuff:
These are super cute! Let’s just hope they help with the heat.

And these have great reviews.

These should be here Friday, fingers crossed there aren’t any delays.

I found on amazing cooling headbands. They look like a sport headband. I don’t know how well they will work but I figured it was worth a try! Love the
Mickey fans!
