When I originally offered to take my son and D-I-L to WDW I was thinking in May around her birthday. She decided they'd rather wait until Sept 17th-24th, so we could be down there during their anniversary. My other son and I both told them they were crazy 'that's hurricane season'. My D-I-L insisted, so I bought
trip insurance and went with the flow---
free dining was offered. I then chose to go solo on my first solo trip this past May and had a blast. I printed the menus off allears and told her I wanted Le Cellier, but other than that to pick wherever she wanted to eat. She chose Planet Hollywood, Hollywood & Vine, Big River Grille, and Cap'n Jacks (along with CM, CP, CRT, Le Cellier). I tried to tell her we didn't like Hollywood & Vine when we ate there in January and that Planet Hollywood, Big River Grille, and especially Cap'n Jacks never gets good reviews. She said fine we'd split meals at Le Cellier, Planet Hollywood, Big River Grille, and Cap'n Jacks, but she really wanted to try them. She also wants to go to Beaches & Cream and get a Kitchen Sink, even though we've told her it's not good. I gave up talking to her and decided once again to go with the flow. They want to do the water parks three times and DQ which I do not, so I told them it would give them a chance to be alone and I'd go off on my own to play at Epcot (my favorite park), but my D-I-L got her feelings hurt and doesn't understand why I don't want to hang out with them, so once again I decided to go with the flow and do what they want. I'll pack a book and find a cool shady corner. Even though I would have planned the trip differently, am I going to have fun? You betcha! I'm going to be at WDW! Can't wait! We'll deal with a hurricane if we have to, I'll find something to do at the water parks and DQ, if we don't like the TS she's picked out, I'll leave the food on my plate and find a familiar CS. Hey, you'll be at Disney and with loved ones, enjoy the small things and each other. The weather you can't change and if the TS happens to be bad you'll be able to find something good at one of the CS or kiosks. You won't starve.
