Well, I was sitting here waiting for Matt and Will to get home from Transformers 2 (yes, I let my DS7 go to the movies at 9:45pm-with his dad-to see a movie I'm not entirely sure he should watch. But he's seen the first one and all the Star Wars movies and all of the Pirates movies, etc. What am I going to do? He's 7 and he's a boy. I do have my limits, I promise)...but anyway, they just got home and I'm pretty tired (we got home after midnight last night) and want to read a little before bed (I'm rereading for the I-don't-know-which time the Harry Potter series in anticipation of the 6th movie in a couple of weeks), so I'll keep this kind of quick (if you haven't learned already, I don't do anything that involves talking "quick").
So, for the couple of changes...
After reading on Lisa's report that she made TRex ADRs I remember that I wanted to do so too (I have no idea why I didn't do it when I called originally-guess I thought you couldn't). So I hopped over to the Disney site and put in the date we wanted to go. And all I could get was 10pm (little boys who are 4, 7, and 7 are NOT going to wait until 10pm to eat dinner-no matter how cool the restaurant is!). And 10pm was just about all I could get most of the week. So I went back and put in arrival day...and got 10pm. So I tried earlier, and earlier, and almost TOO early...and got 3:30pm.
The problem with this?
We're going to have to leave at about 6:00 in the morning now.
Yes, I know. All you flying people are saying, "So?"
WE left in the middle of the night and got to see the SUN RISE from our airplane!
Seriously. I am not worthy.
I also am not a morning person. And while it's not-so-hard to get up out of a Disney bed...it is pretty hard to haul myself out of my bed when I know I have an 8 hour drive ahead of me (if you're wonder, I CANNOT sleep in the car, even though Matt pretty much does all the driving. I just can't do it. Can't relax enough).
BUT it puts us at Disney 2 hours earlier
so it's all good. Gives us a reason to get
OUT
THE
DOOR!
(Let's hope there aren't any forgotten wallets)
Oh, and we're hoping to have Cole spend the night Thursday night so we don't have to go get him that morning.
The other change, which is related, is that I also made a reservation for Planet Hollywood on our last night (Friday the 25th) to replace the original TRex plan. We won't have any dining credits left (well, we'll have 1 but we need it for breakfast on Saturday), so we'll have to pay OOP, but we'll have the $15 credit voucher thingy from the package. If we decide we don't want to pay OOP, we'll just do CS because I'm pretty sure we have one left over.
Okay. I hope all that rambling makes sense.
Missy, I think I forgot to answer you, but no, there really isn't anything off the list yet. I didn't put anything on the list that I'd already done. I did get the "extra" bathing suit today (the one Cole will "borrow") and I did get one for Matt, but one size it too big and the other is too small, so I'm back to the drawing board for him. They were out of rashguards, so I didn't get Cole's, and I haven't ordered mine yet either.
So nothing crossed off the list yet.
I did want to ask, quickly, does anyone know if they have those Drawstring Backpacks that I want to use AT Disney World? You know the kind I'm talking about, right? I was going to get a UF one (and may still), but if they have a Disney World one there I'll just wait until we get there and get it after we eat at TRex. Usable souviener. Anyone know?
Okay, I'm headed to bed. Baseball practice tomorrow, and hopefully a haircut for me, and I think Matt is going to do something with Christian since he took Will to the movies tonight. We've got our State baseball tournament this weekend, so LOTS of practice this week.
But I'll be back with a list of some kind tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great week (I'm so

that I have readers!
you guys!).
P.S. I never "officially" mentioned it, but I did change Matt's age from "31" to
"32" this week. Wasn't nearly as sad as when I had to change Christian's earlier in the month.
