Just the two of us- WDW May 09 countdown on! **UPDATE Trying to change plans AGAIN!**

[kgle]

Oh by the way, I was correct last night!!!

My unemployment WAS approved and I received a deposit of $892 in my account today for the back pay!!! Yay!!! PLUS they deposited child support AND Houston just sent another payment of $208 on Monday to Indiana so that should post soon too I am so relieved now!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Yippie!! It definitely makes more sense to stay closer to your family those last couple of days! Hyatts are NICE hotels!! I wanted to stay at the Hyatt at MCO for our last night, but Mike didn't have enough reward points so the Crowne Plaza it is!!

Yay! You are rollin in cash now!! Don't spend it all in one place!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Ooh! The Hyatt Place looks AWESOME!! I wanna stay there! It's got the same feel as the Contemporary. I've been thinking about switching to the CR MK view room. It would cost us about $500 more. We're all ready spending a small fortune on this vacation, so I don't know. I've also been thinking about staying at the Pop to save money too! Who knows!!

And I totally think you should stay at Pop

Here is us!

You look gorgeous in this pic!! Did you girls have a good time last night? Liz must already be in a relationship, her outfit says, "I'm out for a girls night and not looking to meet cute guys!!" On the otherhand, your outfit says, "Hello, boys! I'm hot, I've got it together and if you're worth it, I might look your way!!!"

Thanks! And I am literally laughing my *** off. That's so true. Well on Liz's part. She is with someone and he was originally with us but didn't have his ID so when he couldn't find it he just stayed home and we went out. I totally dress like that all the time though My hair is long enough to pull up now too so I love it! I had a blast last night. I was up way too late but it was nice spending time with her, I hadn't been able to hang out with her for a while.

I was just reading the first couple of pages of your PTR! I was cracking up at all of the changes you have made since the beginning!!! Your list of things to do at each park is funny! The only thing you had listed for Epcot was the Living Seas!!! You were so young and naive back then!!!


So 20 questions.....What's your new schedule look like? Have you decided on your new ADR's? Are you and lauren_elizabeth going out and hitting all of the "big girl" rides? Where is lauren_elizabeth's PTR anyway? Only 16 more questions to go!!!

So true! I was reading the UG a couple nights ago and I was like what? Where did I miss this? I already know I want to do Maelstrom, and the Three Caballeros, and more (and definitely big girl rides but I don't think I was adding those to the list at the time).

You reminded me! I need to make ADRs like yesterday! I know I want to do The Wave...and I will probably do that on the 14th although I have to do lunch since their dinner doesn't have the Italian Chef Salad that I want. Sorry Lauren and Brandi! I also have to move my Play n Dine breakfast. Time to go over that now!

Lauren and I are definitely going out! We are going out the 10th (haha Mothers' Day!) and getting a sitter for the boys. I am super stoked! I will go over the schedule tonight and post an updated one!

Bring on the questions ;D

May 19th
Leave TPA @ 1:55pm

Yeah I changed dates again. It is costing me an extra $100 to add another night on at the hotel, but that's it. I have that much money saved in my money jar. I found a super awesome deal on a rental car for Alamo...8 days for $176 after taxes (which is exactly what Enterprise was charging me for 7 PLUS a one way $50 fee). I have Enterprise reserved...but I am stuck with even the times and dates unless I want to triple what I am already going to pay. I also wasn't looking forward to driving to Orlando on the day we fly out. So Tampa was the same price and I found a flight mid day that was non stop. I canceled the departure from MCO and changed it to TPA all within a matter of minutes! I love southwest!

But yeah, that's the plan now. I wasn't able to get another ADR for Le Cellier (she pronounced it wrong lol) but I have to figure out another day to do it I don't know!! I guess I could try for the 13th or 14th...either lunch or dinner. It doesn't matter.

We are gonna be running into each other all over the place! I probably will check out the boardwalk. I didn't even think of that.

I've only got 7 days of tickets...so I wouldn't have anything left over to use on the 15th Not REAL early...but like 9 or 10 or so.


And man I WISH I could be there all month!

I won't be surprised when you add an extra day onto your tickets!!

 

[kgle]

Haha believe me I'm not. If anything we will be purchasing tickets for Adventure Island in Tampa!

So, I think I will wear my yellow sundress for the photo session. I'll have to figure out something for Rylan. Not that it will be hard...considering he has about 3 times as many clothes as I do

Ooh! That would look nice! I love that yellow dress!!

 

[kgle]

Okay, so 1. Where the heck is everyone at?!

2. I am trying to find a shirt for Rylan to match. I will have him wear khaki shorts but he has no yellow tops.

here is this:

Or we already have this one:

And remember- this is my dress
