Hi Everyone!
OMG! Am I glad it is Friday! It was been a long week! And I am so so so glad it is over.
Monday I had to go to a 5th grade fun day fundraiser meeting. And while the meeting was fine. It was a go go go day. Left work, picked up the girls from school, took Gwen to Gymnastics, ran to BJ's while she was doing that, brought Gwen home, threw dinner together then headed to the meeting. I am just exhausted typing that.
Morgan had a basketball game against her BFF on Tuesday. Her BFF's team was undefeated and Morgan's team has won 1 game.. They hung in there pretty well, but last it in the end. Morgan's team also only had 6 girls. So, they were all getting pretty tired by the end. But they held on fairly long. But we grabbed dinner after to celebrate some good sportsmanship.
Andy ended up in the ER Wednedsay night! He got a piece of meat stuck in his throat and couldn't get it out! He could breathe but he could swallow any liquids. It was awful. He ended up having to have surgery to have it removed! He is fine now and even went to work today. But it made for a long day and a half.
So, needless to say, I am looking forward to hopefully a quiet weekend and some relaxing! I am drinking one of my two grapefruit Shoffenhoffers while I do this Disney udpate and some planning. I am saving the other one for when I start packing next weekend!
So, in Disney Planning news... We had to switch our August week, Andy and his boss can't be out at the same time, and she wanted to go to Greece for he son's birthday. Which was the week we picked. Of course, I had JUST booked our airfare the day before. But luckily we were in the 24 hour window. So, literally in the 24th hour, I cancelled the tickets but I was able to do so without penalty. So that was good.
So, NOW we are going
Friday, August 16 - Sunday, August 25th. I have been trying to figure hotel options, as I can only seem to get Yacht Club for that week at Club Level. Which is way to pricey! It looks like I can get Yacht Club for 4 nights at the end with a Water View Room with the Sun & Fun Discount. So, I am thinking for the rest maybe we will stay at Coronado. It is the cheapest Moderate and the main pool should be nice.
Our luggage tags came for Magical Express, so I am glad about that! And I started to collect some of the usual snacks and stuff that we need.
Only 2 more weeks!!!! 2 weeks from today, we will hopefully be in EPCOT!!!!
Speaking of which, we will need to activate our annual passes when we get there. Does anyone know where we need to go to do that? Can we do that at the gate at EPCOT?
We are planning 8 in 2019. And our passes won't expire til June 2020. Should we go head to head?
Ha! I am ready!
And because we will be AP (activated) holders starting in June - I've actually had the dang things since October - we pretty much plan to go to at least one park each day, even if for just a few hours. Normally we don't go to a park for arrival day because we drive down, but bc we have APs, we made an ADR at Epcot and we'll do Frozen and The Three Caballeros boat ride and call it a night. We have a few mornings off so we can sleep in too. And I have us jumping over to MK on departure day - might as well - for a few last rides before hitting the road!
It is a super nice perk of having the AP!!!!!
Oh and I am insanely jealous of your MBs. We decided to decline them for this trip because we already have so many and we have so many upcoming trips and I have heard once you have so many on your account, things can get wonky.
I don't know if I can decline. It's not in me... I have been trying to deactive some of the older bands. Hopefully that will help.
I may just start a PTR that includes all my trips because I mean who knows if I will ever take this many trips in this short amount of time again?
YEAH!!! I am totally in the same mindframe!
What are your dates for August? We will be there 8/17-8/26. We are staying at the YC the first 4 nights and GF for 5 nights!
See above! We were the week before but now almsot the same as you!
I can't find it now, but did you say you have Sci Fi lunch at 11:15 on May 4th? There is a group of us that has lunch there, too!
I hope you keep that one...unless I made it up, in which case forget I mentioned it
I did say that! We will see. I am hoping I can feel Morgan out more during out trip.
