I'm here and I'm all caught up!! Get ready for a million quotes!
Have you been to Geyser Point at WL? We really liked it there. It's right on Bay Lake, so it was really pretty at sunset too.
I can't wait to hear more about your plans! Everything looks great so far!!
Congratulations!!! DH and I are coming up on our first wedding anniversary in October. We went to WDW for our Disneymoon too!We're from Pittsburgh, Pa and we're coming up on our second wedding anniversary in September.
Note to Self - Assign DH note taking duties. I take notes for about the first 3 days and then I get tired and stop.I'm the planner for our trips and Andrew is my diligent note taker for while we're actually there.
I love the Animal Kingdom too! Because they have the best alcoholic drinks (in the parks)!I love Animal Kingdom, my adorable dog Oliver, eating and consuming alcoholic beverages, Pittsburgh Sports, Binge watching Netflix and high-fiveing strangers.
I love Trader Sam's! We went last October and I can't wait to go back!Favorite Bar: Trader Sam's
Did I write this? I'm still trying to get around to finishing my TR for our Oct trip and I haven't even started one for our Apr/May trip.(I did a PTR but was a major slacker on a TR)
YAY!!!ANNNND WE ARE OFFICIALLY BOOKED FOR THE POLY!!!
Have you joined the Landry's Select Club? In addition to earning points for each visit, you also get a $25 credit for your birthday.Something that I recently noticed was our mutual obsession with Landry's owned restaurants (helloooo BOAThouse and Paddlefish)
So exciting!!!We were able to book a very late, very last-minute October trip last week...ANNNND we are getting APs! Our one trip year has quickly grown in to four and we are SO Excited!
DH and I are going to Niagara Falls for our anniversary trip next month and I just can't get excited about it. Not-Disney trips are just not as good as Disney Trips!We talked about maybe going to Vegas, The Bahamas, Niagra Falls, or the Florida Keys..but we both decided with such a limited amount of time we wanted to go somewhere that we were familiar with because that is what is relaxing to us.
Judgey co-workers/friends/family are the worst!! I feel like we have a whole spiel now to try to convince people that Disney is cool, but they never get it.Side Note: When I was telling my co-workers this, they all look at me like I'm crazy. "Did you just say, 'Disney' and 'Relaxing' in the same sentence?" Yep. I did. Judge away.
Everyone always stresses about 180 days. We booked our last trip under 90 days and we're able to get all the reservations that we wanted. So I told myself not to stress this time, but I was still up at 6am on 180 days to make ADRs.I also ended up being incredibly lucky with ADRs..who says you need to wake up at 6am for 180 days out with luck like this?
Sunday 10/15: California Grill 7:05 (This is also a Halloween Party night!)
Monday 10/16: Yachtsman 6:00pm (I also have this booked for Feb so I'll have to update that)
Tuesday 10/17: Tiffins 6:05
Wednesday 10/18: GF Cafe Lunch 12:45
YAY for officially getting your AP vouchers!! and for booking your flights!!!I went to our local Disney store to buy our AP vouchers yesterday so that I could start looking for future discounts/book our FPs for October. The CM working at the register said that they were the first APs that he's ever sold I also caught Southwest on a good day yesterday because the flights that I had been tracking for October took a serious price-cut. Now everything is booked and I'm just anxiously waiting for our long weekend away.
Our second wedding anniversary is coming up at the end of this month, and with it being the "Cotton" anniversary I needed some inspiration. Leave it to Pinterest to save the day.
Can't wait to see what you come up with! I may need to copy it for next year!Where each letter starts the sentence. The entire thing is going to be Disney themed and I'm super excited. I'll post some pictures once it's done, but I need to procrastinate finishing it for a little because the second it's done I'll want to give it to him
I love POP, but I agree it isn't the most relaxing resort. I'm sure you will love AKL!!So the more I thought about it the more I knew that POP probably wasn't the right resort for us for the particular trip.
I'm sorry for your loss!!This past weekend I lost my grandfather unexpectedly and Andrew and I have both been absolutely losing our minds over our jobs- like each working 60+ hours a week losing our minds.
I don't know how people can keep things a surprise. I am terrible with keeping anything to myself! As soon as I make any change to our plans, I can't wait to tell DH about it!While I'm pretty convinced that Andrew has caught on to the fact that we are going to Disney in October, I know that he thinks we will be staying at a Value Resort. I'm going to go ahead and let him think that until we get on the ME
YAY!! It's so close now!!26 Days Until Food and Wine FunFest
Mmmm! We really liked Pecos Bills when we went in October. We had the fajitas and loaded up on the toppings bar and it was definitely enough to share.At Magic Kingdom I'm hoping to get lunch first at Pecos Bills since we've never tried it before and I've read some great reviews about their nachos...and I am a sucker for nachos.
So Pretty!! I'm going to have to add the Dock Bar to our plans for February!
*Us watching the Penguins playoff game @ the dock bar in May..one of our favorite nights at Disney*

I am the person that he is talking to! I NEED my naps!! In fact, I'd need a nap by like noon. I could never make it until midnight!Even though day 1 is always a super early morning for us (like we have to wake up at 4am to leave for the airport early) once we get in the parks adrenaline kicks in and we suddenly no longer feel the need to sleep guess it's just the magic of Disney!
I can't wait to hear more about your plans! Everything looks great so far!!
