All right! You're going to Minneapolis!

 

[DH-2-mamaduck]

All right! You're going to Minneapolis!

Yeah, unfortunately in 5 weeks, we need to go there.

 

[pkondz]

Sweeeet.

 

[DH-2-mamaduck]

BAM!

 

[pkondz]

I will never experience the joy of getting magic bands in the mail.

 

[DH-2-mamaduck]

Well, I checked park hours and the changed from when I made my reservations but now looking to rewrite the whole schedule. Bad news is I would forfeit most of my dining reservations and probably not get any back. Only made 4 anyways....

 

[pkondz]

Sucks. But look at it this way... you're going to Disney World!

It's actually working out pretty well so far....we get to spend more time at the parks and actually utilize the Hoppers a few of the days. ADR's will be what they will be. One I move from one day to the other and the other I just need to call the Resturant - it looks promising. I Updated FP+ already so all is good there. Turning out to be a good night.

 

[pkondz]

That's good. I find FP+ a little trickier than ADRs (except for the really popular spots.)

Yeah, I can see that.... If you make them late for the day then you don't get any more. I had good luck last trip adjusting them on the fly. We have 7 days in the parks, so plenty of extra time.

 

[DH-2-mamaduck]

3 weeks to go. We have a stock pile of snacks. I think we will bring the drip coffee pot for in-room hot water and coffee. DW keeps looking at smaller double strollers. Plan right now is to bring the 1up Graco and not our 2-up BOB....

Not a coffee drinker myself, but... I could've sworn there were coffee makers in the rooms.

Not at Pop (I don't think any of the value resorts do).

Yeah, unfortunately in 5 weeks, we need to go there.

I want to get out there in October, but probably won't this year. The new stadium looks amazing, and the Vikings might actually be competitive
