Glad you're back!

Sooo many things have changed where do I start...

If you recall the last time we spoke, I was having technical issues, almost everything I owned electronic/ mechanical decided to break down at the same time. Well you can add Bullet to that list. He was my car... we were together for 8 years and unfortunately I had to finally say goodbye. ((Violin music playing in the background)) Needless to say there was a gray cloud following me.

Out of the storm, here I am, with a new computer and a new car (which Tink has named Tiana) and a brand new car note! That leads to the next change in plans. With this new care note I have I had to take a look at my plans for WDW. But believe you me canceling the trip was NOT an option. I was considering changing resorts and going to a value resort AND keep deluxe dining. I considered a Value resort and Free dining (well upgrade to regular dining since free dining with a value resort was a quick service plan). Or staying at the moderate and free dining. I consulted with Grumpy and his suggestion was to postpone the trip until next year. (Silly, silly man ) Since Grumpy wasnt much help ultimately I chose to stay at the CSR and to do the Free Dining as opposed to the upgrade I had. It saved me quite a bit of money! Problem solved! But now I have found myself in a quandary... what ressie's should I keep, which should I cancel?? That is a constant work in progress!

Up next what ressie's will I keep, which one's will go?

Sorry to hear about the car! Such a bummer!

I am glad you were able to keep your trip and just downsize -- we are doing the whole CSR and Free Dining combo so I think it sounds lovely!

Good luck deciding which ressies to keep!

I just found your PTR and read along. your trek into the garage had me waiting to see if once you finally got in it you went through the back end sorry to hear about your ice-partner's untimely ending. Hopefully Tiana will work as hard for you as she does her restaurant(they need an "I'm a dork" icon)

I may not chime in a whole lot...my subscriptions seem to be breeding and so I dn't get to read every one every night. but I'll be around!

I think you'll find that dropping down to regular dining plan will be much better. when my DD was 5 1/2 (oh yeah, cannot forget the half!) she was very opinionated (aka bratty) about everything and one sit down meal was all we wanted to spend sitting in a restaurant.

You mentioned that your DD is a car/on the way home sleeper....that was DD at 3 1/2 (and 5 1/2 to some extent)....my best suggestion, find a transportation means that you can ride over and over while DD sleeps through the motion! firs time, we pushe dher in a stroller, and she napped in the stroller every day. once we rode the train around the MK about 3 times fully so she could sleep. once we found a rocking chair on a porch in MK and rocked her for a nap. the FriendShips at DHS were great nap sites. they go back and forth across the lake. just a suggestion.

I haven't done most of your ADR choices so i'll be looking forward ot seeing how you like them..

we all need to take a Grumpy with us to WDW....its a challenge to take him from Grumpy to happy to prince charming (and back again!) at the world!!

I am following Wt Watchers and trying to trim down (haha that is a huge understatement!) DH and I started WW last April -- he is down almost 100 lbs, me 45. still going though so I am happy with that
