This trip is for my 32nd b-day on Sept 10th, woot!! Last time I was at WDW was 3 yrs ago at the end of June. Holy hot noodles!!
I have lived in central Florida my entire life and had never gone to WDW in the summer. Always did family trips in December. Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Hot & crowded... not my cup of tea. The Basics
The cast-Me, Janet-31 almost 32,
. has Seasonal AP and will be getting TIW once we get to WDW. I am an admitted picky eater with heart issues (CHF) on top of it & on low sodium diet. This should prove interesting. I have read that if you notify dining in advance they can help you out, but I figure as long as I drink lots of water, take my meds, not overdo it, and eat my bananas daily I can splurge on some yum-yums. DBf, Jay-35,
, also has Seasonal AP. He is the adventerous eater between the two of us and looking forward to the drinks
... specifically trying his hand at Drinking Around EPCOT, oh and to make me happy too. He is not as much of a Disney fan as I am but does like Goofy, Donald Duck and Figment
(that was an interesting revelation lol.)Hotel-Will be staying at the POP Sept 8th-11th, requested a standard room with king bed, since just the two of us-NO KIDS TRIP. I haven't stayed here before so no idea what to expect. Have stayed at ASMovies twice so I know what the value hotel is like but wanted a different experience this time. I know I would prefer lake view & quiet, but I will accept what the computer assigns me if it gets me closer to the buses and food court....
Transport-I only live about an hour and 15 minutes away from WDW so I will be driving Bertha (the car) over.
Since I plan on getting over there early am, I am doing the driving, DBf will be sleeping in the car, I am sure. HAVE HAD TO MAKE SERIOUS EDITS TO PLAN DUE TO CHANGE IN ADR'S AND OTHER ISSUES!!
THE FINAL PLAN AND ADRS!!
REASON FOR DAY CHANGES
YUM-YUMS AND FOOD CHOICES
DRINKING AROUND THE WORLD
Purses, and Lanyards, and Bags, OH MY!!
SHOES, AND BRAS, AND A DOONEY, OH MY!!
Final day, before we leave babbling!!

TR: The Bananas Take on WDW
So this is the start, will continue later today. Work is calling.


I am thankful we can do this. I really feel for the people who come down here and want to get it all in and for whatever reason cannot see all they want to and leave disappointed.
LOVE 

. DBf wants to go see Figment, his favorite Disney character besides Goofy & Donald Duck. Also want to get on Spaceship Earth and then continue our mission. After dinner, WS wander time!! I havent really been able to see and check out EPCOT at night so I am looking forward to this!! 
I am super excited. In the past year and a half, I have had some serious medical issues come up. I hate to say this but I am actually really surprised that I made it to another bday. I am in congestive heart failure and specifically have cardiomyopathy caused by a virus. So far all the meds I take keep me going day after day. I am pretty young only 31 and have my two young kids. This past year I have had to completely reevaluate my outlook on life and how I live it. I mean I really love my cardio dr but wish I didn't have to see him all the time. So if you are wondering why someone my age is this excited about turning 32, that is why. I even found on ebay the now discontinued special "It's My Birthday" yellow earhat and bought it without question lol.
while we are there. One of the reasons why I love the guy
around 7:45pm. We might do the boat
trip from POFQ to DTD this night instead of day 1. We originally had 'Ohana ressie for this night around 9:15pm so we could hopefully watch Wishes after. Then I looked at the calender and saw there is no Wishes that night.
Why oh why is there no Wishes on a saturday night???? Thank you internet for that answer. Apparently my bday falls during Night of Joy weekend. So I cancelled 'Ohana and made ADR for Raglan Road. DBf and I love the Irish Pub atmosphere and the menu looks YUUUUMY so we modified. 
Thanks for reading my PTR and thank you so much for the info. I just started on the boards recently and haven't had a chance to really navigate through everything. 
, POTC
, and the Tiki Room. I have a strong desire to eat at Pecos Bill (loved it on my childhood trips), but after reading recent reviews we may just abandon this plan and have a large breakfast at POP before going to MK. After MK, grab Bertha (the car) and drive home. Dbf has to work that night 7p-4a, then at his other job 11a-6p back to back so we don't want to spend too much time at MK.
I had the trip in mind. Comfy shoes that are cute and will go with all my dresses for our ts dinners. I know some people are ok with shorts and tanks for dinner, but Dbf and I are believers in dressing the part for a nice restaurant.
I know most of the stuff will get worn before the trip but I know it will get worn for the trip, except for dbf shirt. That is in hiding until we go!
