Chapter 38. ADR countdown.
Yes, we all know that ADRs are going back to 180 days out. Which means in a little over 48 hours, I will be up trying to score some good ADRs at some decent times. It means getting up at 3am or 4am depending on which way I want to do the ADRs....
So as you know I will probably upgrade to the DxDP for the solo part of my trip. This meant switching some more things around on my itinerary. So I will list the old itinerary and new......This is draft 5 for those of you keeping count. One behind Lady Lailie's itinerary count, but I'm leaving a few weeks later...so I'm sure I'll catch up. I'm putting the old itinerary up and the new with the changes highlighted....let me know what you think.

Brown Derby. I love the Cobb Salad, but it won't make the cut as far as getting my value out of the Deluxe Plan. I looked at my itinerary and saw how much I would be at Epcot and DHS the last few days and considered asking Wendy to put me back on the waitlist for the BWVs...I still may consider it. What do you think?

I basically changed this whole day around. I wanted at least one day where I was able to sleep in. I put Sanaa in before I left for the parks. I'm still going to Future World just later. Instead of having the night free in the old itinerary, I have the afternoon/early evening free with my final dinner at Jiko. This change leaves me at AKL at the end of the day rather than trying to eat an early dinner (probably still full from lunch, no doubt) and then going out to a park with only a few hours left before park closing...
