oh the joy of planning-to me its just as much fun as going...
so we were booked 9/3~9/7 AKL CL , but the hubby last night decides
we should book the 2nd-7th add the extra night, and drive up after work on Wednesday evening instead of waking the kids up early the next day and them being cranky.
(Wow-didnt I mention that like 4 months ago when we booked...
) he then adds, with a he's a genius type grin, "We can drive up that evening and the room will be ready ASAP and the kids can sleep. And since we're on the dining plan that gives us another days worth of meals for Monday 
well...before we could talk about it-and over analyize-i grabbed the phone and modified that ressie...so we're now booked September 2~7.
I just stroked his ego and told him what a great idea he had.
So he calls me today at work
"hey just thought of something...
since we changed that vacation reservation-today is 90 days not Friday...book those reservations "we" discussed. We meaning, I picked them and he ok'd it while watching ESPN.
To that I replied, "but don't you remember those were tentative plans?? The calendar isnt out (which I don't konw about you-is making me CRAZY)." 
So he decides, we dont need a calendar,
(WHAT??) "book the dining" he says, "we're trying to take a more leisurely trip anyway and really take in the sights and animals at the Lodge." (as I am gasping for air...unable to process this idea) 
I compose myself and call the dining hotline-with NO wait...
So here are the plans...for now-til he decides something else....
9/2 arrive yippee! Hopefully kids are kinda awake and we can look around
9/3 Bfst at Club Lounge, explore resort, we booked a 10:30 photo session (super excited), maybe swim or take a nature tour or off to MK-I'll let the kids decide-5:45 dinner at BC Cape May Clam Bake, then to MK for rides, parade (if there is one)
and fireworks, back to resort, bust out the night goggles 
and check out aminals-if they are out at night...who knows
9/4 Hang around resort and have lunch at Mara then off to Epcot Dinner Ressie 6:30 Tutto Italia (just an FYI-as of now-it always changes-Le Celier had no dinner ressies 9/3-9/7) My hubby wanted to eat there
-I got my choice 
, Illuminations, back to resort bed!
9/5 (my sons 5th bday) Breakfast 9:05 (too early on vacation) at Tusker House. Spend the day at AKP, 4:00 dinner T-Rex...ok here's the deal with that restaurant...you can book it through disney dining 407-WDW-DINE -it is NOT on the DDP but my son really likes it (from the on-line pics we've seen)-and I dont mind paying-the rest of my meals are "free" so after dinner-back to resort maybe swim and enjoy presents and bday fun stuff-if they arent sleeping...
9/6 10 am (better bf time) 1900 Park Fare (DD7 sooo excited to meet Alice)
off to MK lunch QS-if we can fit it-its alot of food, and dinner at 5:30 at the Wave. I'm hoping for Fantsmic and we'll shoot over to HS, if not back to MK
9/7 Pack up room, off to HS lunch 11:15 Sci-Fi and leave for home (Palm Beach) around 3.
But like all plans...I'm sure we'll change something between now and then.
