Taxes. We just finished and finally spoke to the accountant yesterday. Wasn't as wonderful as I was hoping for but not bad either. Ours is difficult with just our personal and the business, I can't imagine how fun yours are with all of the rentals and such. Good luck girl!

I'm sure my DH says the same thing about me and taxes.

You need a fun filled week with a new friend from Colorado to make things better.

I think you have a good point there! Some BBQ and fine wine thrown in there wouldn't hurt either!

The rentals aren't even the confusing part. We just save every bill and receipt and at tax time she enters everything into a spreadsheet. The worst part is that she doesn't want to miss a single deduction.

The confusing stuff is the Tenants in Common. I don't know how the accountant does it, but he makes it look like we make almost nothing.

I'll see if I can find a willing victim.

Day 7 of our trip we are due for a talk with the animals.

Last trip to WDW we spent so much time eating and drinking that we didn’t make it to all four parks. There was just so much going on between the meets, the F&W special events and such that Animal Kingdom was the park that got left out. So this trip I wanted to make sure that we have a day to get there and see the animals. I don’t think that anything new has been added since our last visit, but it’s a fun park and we should hit it at least every other trip.

My plan is to get there pretty early. AK does not have tiering in effect for their FP+ so that means that we can choose any of the attractions available via FP+. I think I would choose the safari, Everest and perhaps a meet and greet if one is offered or maybe Dinosaur. I need to work it out, the window is opening soon!

Regardless of how our day pans out, we plan to leave the park by about 1:30 or 2PM and head over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge or should I say Kidani? We have a special lunch planned.



Last time we ate here it was fantastic! I just hopped over to allears.net to check out the menu and they took all my favorite things off the menu. Now the lamb kefta kebabs are replaced with lamb kefta sliders. The seared scallops are no longer on the menu, and they changed it all around. I may be rethinking this one!

Following our visit to Sanaa (maybe or maybe not) we have no plans.


At all.


We still haven’t made a trip to DTD, and I don’t have any concrete plans for dinner. Maybe we will skip Sanaa all together, and opt to head back to the room for a nap, and then make an evening run over to DTD and catch dinner there while doing our shopping. How spontaneous!

Wow, there sure seems to be a lot on this trip that I’m NOT planning. However, I’ve found that we need that so that all the things Fran never told me she wants to do have a space in which we can do them!

I guess this day is a wrap!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Sounds like another great day. I like leaving days unplanned so that you can fit other things in.....like whatever Fran doesn't mention to you.

Enjoy AK.


Looking forward to seeing the Sanaa food porn.

That is if we end up there. I love Indian food, but again, WDW is dumming down the menus to appeal to the masses. I'll check the menu a couple days before our reservation and we'll make a decision. The latest update on allears was Feb 2014. We're going there for me not Fran so she will go with whatever I say. At this point, I would be just as happy eating at Paradisio 37 or maybe Raglan Road outside, so we'll see.

How nice to do AK. I do like that park. No trip is complete without EE! I didn't get a SWW character dinner booking but Jo says she isn't giving up! She phones every night! I tell her don't worry but she is so sweet. She says I am denied so much in life she will score me a Jedi Mickey!

Our late breakfast ( which we use for lunch as we have breakfast as well earlier in our room lol ) is at 11:30 at chef Mickey so we are heading down to TPC after that. Hopefully you will still be there!

That's so sweet of Jo to do that for you. There may be cancellations so you never know.

Last time we got there at "rope drop" for TPC and looked through most everything and checked out by around 12PM. Supposedly this place is larger and they will have more out to look at so we'll see how long we last there. I suppose we will be running into each other Friday and Saturday as well, but hopefully we can catch up a little bit on Monday as well.

i hope so! Well we will def see you at RD and in Dart Mall on Friday! I will keep an eye out for you both! Would love to say Hi!

I'm guessing that we are sure to run into each other this day. Since we have the same plan we will probably run into each other at the line up and the parade. I'm thinking that you folks will finish your shopping before we do because Fran will probably want one of everything. So once you guys get what you want and Fran is checking out, we can go and sit and wait for parade spots. She can come and join us after they show her every figure that she wants and all that.

So Hopefully we can watch the parade together, and then figure out what we're going to do. We're looking forward to this time spent with you two!

oh yes let's do the parade that would be great see you there!

It's sad isn't it that TIW not longer has V & A! I just read that.

As of August 1st, it will no longer take TiW. Might as try to get one more trip in if you haven't gone recently

we have never been to V & A's looks nice though. Probably never will now!

That's a bummer about V&A's. We should definitely do the parade together!

We went last October, sadly I will not be able to convince Fran for another visit this next trip. We're doing Narcoosee's instead.

That's too bad. Chef Hunnel would really make you a nice meal that you could enjoy.

Have you made your FP+ selections girl? I'm making mine right now!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Sounds like a great SWW meet-up.

What FP+ did you select?

 

[mvf-m11c]

Sounds like you have a great plan at AK.
