I think either way we should be able to hit each park at least 2 times. That way we are not overloading ourselves trying to get everything done in one day. Well maybe not we, lol probably just me!

 

[kgle]

Oh I forgot to add. I am cancelling our package at MM for fantasmic. I am going to just try to get a normal ADR there for another day. I really want to see the show...but considering the whole 10 days we are there they are only showing it on two days...its bound to be NUTS. I don't want to deal with it, so we can just enjoy EMH at MK and pray that everyone else is watching F! haha!

Ok I really have to get to bed now. My eyes are droopy. I got a lot done though!!

 

[Villainess]

I officially have airfare!

Itinerary:

Depart Indianapolis May 8th @ 6:45am
Arrive Orlando May 8th @ 9:00am

Depart Orlando May 18th @ 7:00pm
Arrive Indianapolis May 18th @ 9:25pm

I paid $158 out of pocket for it Got my confirmation and everything! Now onto fixing my schedule!

Danielle- I think we might do MK on the 8th since UG says that the crowd level is low and its the best choice for that day. Are you guys doing MK on the 9th?

5/8 is our last night so we will definately be at MK at least for the afternoon/evening, if not all day. Our flight leaves at 8:45pm so we are heading back to MK for the morning/afternoon on 5/9 before we leave. Definitely would love to meet you and Rylan!

I think this may be the way to go. You guys can take it slow, really get to know one another, make out like high school kids and then when it is time to really pursue a commitment, you will have a strong foundation to build on.

I'm glad you gave him h.e. double hockey sticks for keeping you (and us ) in suspense!



Ooh, doesn't Rylan have some medicine he needs to keep cold? Free fridge!!



WOO HOOTY!! It's so official now! So you decided on SWA? I think you will be alright with your luggage. At the resort, baggage will hold it for you until you are ready to go, then you have, like 25 feet to take it to where the DME bus picks you up. At MCO, utilize the porters! Yeah, I'm so excited for you!

I don't know about Danielle, but we'll be at MK on the 8th! I'll keep my eye out for you and Rylan!!

Hi Wendy! Yup, we will be in MK on 5/8 too! Would love to do a meet up too!

 

[troobabiee7]

Congrats on booking your airfare! You two are gonna have so much fun! And I wouldn't worry too much about Fantasmic. I was so psyched for it, but then it just wasn't as good as I'd expected. Lots of people love it though, so go if you have time, but don't worry if you don't. There'll be so many other things to keep you and Rylan busy!

When it comes to M, be careful. I don't want to sound harsh but as nice as he seems, it also sounds like he wants his cake and to eat it too. He doesn't want to be tied down but he wants you there for "just in case." I know I don't know the whole situation, but again, don't let some guy string you along especially when your son's involved. He obviously doesn't want anything right now, and unless you're in the same place, don't wait around hoping for him to change his mind. It's just like in "He's Just Not That Into You." I read it a few months ago and it completely opened my eyes, as cheesy as that may sound! Not that he's not into you, but if a guy truly wants to be with you, he'll find a way. After a few months of going out with my ex, my birthday rolled around and he was too busy to come out with everyone. I even offered to help him get his work done but nope, he was too busy. I realized right then and there that if I was truly a priority in his life he'd do whatever it took to come celebrate a day as important to me as my birthday. Guys who are really interested won't play games or make excuses or be wishy/washy about being together some time in the distant future. A good guy who truly wants to be with you will find a way, regardless. Being friends is great, but don't be afraid to move on to find what it is you're looking for. What you want should be in your hands, not his. Of course I could be completely off with all this if you guys want the same thing, but if not... just be careful! :

Wow, that is a lot of changes. Yay for saving $$. Glad you and M are ok. Congrats on the arifare and plan.

Thanks for the advice I was thinking that last night and just wanted to ask him if he was expecting me to wait around. I won't. I do want him in my life and he is an awesome person so I don't mind keeping it that way. I am in no place to start "searching" for someone else so I think I am happy with where I am right now, but if someone else were to come along I wouldn't put them off for Ms sake.

Wow, that is a lot of changes. Yay for saving $$. Glad you and M are ok. Congrats on the arifare and plan.

Thanks!

Sweet I got the ADRs I wanted.

Got Mama Melrose for May 11th @ 4:10pm. That was the latest they had

And also Crystal Palace May 14th @ 8:25am.

I am going to attempt to give my other ADRs away before I cancel them.

You've got it all figured out! You're a smart girl, you know what to do. Keep us updated!

 

[TeaForTulips]

Hello! Just found your report and spent a couple days reading it all! I love it so far! Rylan is adorable! I'm glad you were able to save so much money by switching to Pop. I have never stayed there, but I hear so many great things about it! I'm too far behind to comment on it all, but it was great! You have a very good head on your shoulders! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[troobabiee7]

Oh and about Pop, we always rent homes outside of Disney and still have a great time. You'll be at a fun resort in the heart of the Disney magic, I wouldn't worry!

 

[kgle]

OMG

Thanks to the new stimulus package...for Indiana at least, anyone collecting unemployment and eligible will receive an increase of $25 weekly added to their benefits!!! That's an extra $100 a month!! Oh my goodness, if I receive that I will bring home just as much as I used to!!!

Nice!! That will be sooo helpful for you while you are finishing school! Did you decide if you were going to change to legal studies?

Ehhh probably not. Talked to a bunch of people and also M about it and I might pursue my certificate at a later time and do legal nurse consulting but I am going to stick with nursing

Yeah, Boyeeeeeeeee!

 

[kgle]

haha Wendy we are going to be running into each other all over the place!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Hey! I was just curious, where do you rent a car from at WDW? Is there an on site car rental place? What company is it and where is it located? We've never rented a car while down there, so I was just wondering!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey! I was just curious, where do you rent a car from at WDW? Is there an on site car rental place? What company is it and where is it located? We've never rented a car while down there, so I was just wondering!

I can help you out with that. The easiest (and cheapest) place to rent a car is at MCO but National also has an office at the Swan or Dolphin and at the Car Care Centre near the Magic Kingdom. We have always rented from the airport.

 

[kgle]

Actually after much research, MCO is not the cheapest place to rent from. Anywhere you go, the airport location will almost always be the most expensive. The airport concession fees are out of this world. If you are renting, you are better off doing it off site if possible.

I am renting through Enterprise and luckily booked a while ago and locked in a rate of $126 and some change for a 7 day rental. They are now over $200 for a week! Enterprise isn't on WDW property at the CCC, but they are on World Center Dr, so not too far away. They also pick up (as do most I believe) and take you to the rental site.

There are two I believe that are on site at the car care center, and then of course at the Swan/Dolphin. I am not sure as to what those are- maybe National and Alamo? Enterprise has always been the cheapest for me (and I have rented through them TONS of times) so I went ahead and went with them.

I finished getting everything together and packaged for Rylan and Tyson today. I'm gonna run to the post office tomorrow and mail them. This package is from Mickey Mouse. He sent a letter with the package! Next month, Winnie the Pooh will be sending a pkg and in April, Handy Manny has a few things to send!

Woohoo! Like I told Brandi, Emily and Tyson's packages have been done but I have been lazy about getting them out LOL

But that's awesome about Handy Manny! Rylan's birthday is in April and he would be so excited to receive a gift from Handy Manny for his birthday!
