Now Bring Me That Horizon ~ It Begins P115

[TarzansKat]

YO.

Guess who's finally got her "TK's Next PTR" on.
That's right.
You know it.
TINK.

Miss me?

Don't you make me out you.

::coughagaincough::

Don't out me! I'm planning for it to be a cathartic experience when I out myself.

That sounded weird.

Oh tag fairy?

We ate at Sci-Fi on our summer trip in 2007 and to this day it remains one of our fondest memories. We loved it there -- all four of us. The atmosphere was out of this world (pun intended) and those clips had us in stitches the ENTIRE time. Chelsea and Connor are still asking to go back. The food was good and filling -- not spectacular but nowhere near as bad as some of the reviews I read later on. Stick with it. You should definitely experience it.

 

[trixiequilts]

Oh, hon. I know I shouldn't laugh, but

Well, at least he has an opinion. That can be a good thing, right?

Right??

This only happened because he read my guidebook...and they called 'Ohana a "meat feast". He has to have it. But there's no availability. On three different nights. I thought January was supposed to be slow at The World.

But all in all, I am glad to see him get a little interested in the trip, I just wished it had happened sooner!

Oh, thank you for the good review! That makes me feel a lot better. I'm just going with my gut that we'll have a good time, but knowing someone else has enjoyed it helps too.

I've actually heard that Ohana is quite popular!

Sci Fi!!!

Fun!

We seriously considered Sci Fi. And we would have done it. But we think the whole "sit in the car" deal is the main attraction ... sort of the whole point. And Lauren can't sit in the car. So we skipped it. We were afraid she would sort of feel left out. Since most, if not all, of the places in WDW are VERY handicapped accessible, we are not complaining at all about this! But, it didn't work for us.

So, I am counting on you, my friend, to give us all the details! Lots of pictures! Even headless ones...of you guys enjoying your meal! Lots of food...what do you call it...art? Which I like much better than the other term floating around the Dis.

 

[MegansMom]

I think Sci-Fi will be fun for DS........but always looking forward to any changes that may occur along the way!

 

[jenjolt]

Hmmmm...SciFi would be a lot of fun, its another one I would like to do sometime!!! I can't wait to see what you decide...oh and guess what I"m going to Disney for my birthday too...although I'm not having any milestone bdays I'm just excited about it, now I'll have to start working with my cohorts on ADRs...should be interesting LOL!!!

I could see not wanting to exclude her, you know? You'll have to try that if you get to take your adults only trip!

Oh, dear, of course there will be headless pictures! It wouldn't be a TK trip report without headless shots. I'm sure you're all so in love with my torso by now.

And plenty of food art, too.

I've been perplexed over what to change. If I should change anything. Will I? Don't know.

Remind me again, when is your birthday? I know, October, but what date?

I have no idea why that would be.

 

[DARuss]

[TarzansKat]

I swear, there must be something in the DIS drinking water that caused us all to pick those dates. And yay for you being caught up! Man, your trip is coming up, you must be mega excited.

Fo shizzle. I went to Tarjay this morning to pick up some necessities (okay, not NECESSITIES but come on, who doesn't need a teeny tiny bottle of Tylenol in their park bag) and with a couple of exceptions, we're all set to go!

 

[TarzansKat]

Now we get to the part of our trip that looks remarkably similar to past trips.

As in today is a day steeped in TK clan tradition. Before the TK clan was even called the TK clan. I'm not quite sure what year we stumbled on this great idea. I'm fairly certain DS was about 1.5. So that would have been his second trip. And I believe, the first time we had free dining.

God how I love free dining. How I love, love, love it. How I'll be so sad that in all likelihood, I won't be booking it again. See, after this trip, the following year, my little nut will go to kindergarten.

:::gasp:::

I know, I know. My little pirate is growing up. I'm having a hard time coming to terms with that fact, but no matter how stubbornly I try to refuse to recognize it, my baby is growing up. Into quite a sweet, lovable, and very funny little boy. Almost witty, if you will. I have no idea who he gets that from.

I had been in absolute panic over these ADRs in the past week.

This is one of the only things that bothers me about writing a pre trip report. You invest your time, you write your thoughts, and then you commit your plans to paper...board...internet, oh you get the idea.

And then they become real and tangible and not just ideas. Because you've committed to them.

You know, for a woman who was engaged to her husband three months after they met, remained engaged to that man throughout the whole of college and one year after to afford some time to save money and get settled, was married at 22, and has been with that lovable pirate Jack Sparrow look alike for over 10 years now, you'd be really really surprised to hear about my commitment issues.

But I have them.

I have problems committing to ADRs. Problems committing to the trip. Problems committing the money to the trip. When there are other things that need to be done, other goals that need to be accomplished, other avenues to pursue.

And then it hits me.

It's okay for things to change. I can write these down, commit to them and change them two days later, and all likelihood, you'll still keep reading and we'll get to enjoy all the craziness that is planning a Disney trip. And in all reality, I can cancel this trip if I need to. I can do anything. (Is that a Barbie commercial, good lord... )

But seriously. I'll continue writing because we'll continue assuming that the plans are going to be set forth and followed.

And I can tell you, that on this fourth day of our vacation, a Friday, these plans will be followed. These are one of the only sets of plans that doesn't change from year to year.

And we love them.

See, we always go to a MNSSHP. It's a requirement, and we just love them. And for the past few years, before MNSSHP, we've done a late breakfast at Chef Mickey's. And Chef Mickey's holds a very special place in my heart. For all the good meals we've had there, and for how my husband magically got our son to be okay with the characters there on our Pirate's Life for Three. How on that trip, Mickey was DS' first character, and how the characters were so good. And how he actually ate, because it was a buffet and there were choices.

And I love breakfast for lunch. Since it's really, almost lunch by the time we get in to our 1120 reservation. So we'll be doing that again this year.

Enjoying our time at Chef Mickey's and having a leisurely morning. Now, in the past we've been able to go back to the room and relax a bit before the party, but now that DS is older, if he's in the room, he won't sleep. If I don't have a chair to rock him in, our we're not strolling him through a park when he's tired, it's not going to happen.

So I think we may deviate in the slightest bit from our plans. And maybe, my family will hop on over to a park with me in the afternoon before the party. Now depending on how extensive our costumes are (as in if we continue to dress as pirates), we will have to head back to our hotel at some point to get changed and ready.

So we'll see how it goes.

But I can tell you one thing for sure. If we're going on this trip, and we're going to MNSSHP, then we're eating at Chef Mickey's beforehand. And that, in and of itself, makes me happy.

That, I can committ to.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Of course I'll keep reading... no matter how many changes happen. Changes are part of the fun!! Canceling not so much fun. But sometimes responsible. I will hope that it won't come to that.

Love your MNSSHP plans. That sounds delightful. Are you already thinking about costumes?
