Another week down, another week off the countdown!
I've been pretty busy this weekend and haven't had much time for DIS planning. I have been checking the Disney website for an ADR at 50's Prime Time for NYE and right now, just the 4:15 one is left. I'm arguing with myself about whether I should snag it.
If we stick with our original plan of not leaving home until the morning of the 31st, we probably won't arrive on property until 4:00. I'm kind of planning to leave a day early, however Dale doesn't know that yet. My niece is actually starting college in Gainesville in January. Her parents, my brother and SIL, will be getting her set up in an apt over there sometime between Christmas and New Year's. My plan is to leave home on the 30th and drive as far as G'ville to spend the night - see my niece's apt, have dinner. Then, get up and drive the rest of the way to Disney on the 31st and be there by lunchtime. I am a little concerned that traffic might be pretty heavy on the 31st, so I'd like to get through it early. I don't think it'll be a hard sell.
I had thought we might try to get away next month for Columbus Day, but Dale came home yesterday and said that he needs to do some Army duty the first of October, so he'll be gone all that week. I know him well enough to know that he won't want to take any extra personal days off, so I doubt we'll go anywhere. On the bright side, though, I texted with my BFF yesterday and we may all meet up for our alma mater's homecoming in November, so I can look forward to that.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
