Hello, friends! It's been... a while... since my last update
I wish I could regale you all with tales of excitement that prevented me from updating, but... nope
The good news is that I finished up my semester a couple weeks ago so I've been basking in the post-semester glow that will last another month or so before my summer semester starts
I also haven't posted much because one of my grandfathers has had a very rough month and we were all very concerned for a while. That kind of prevented me from getting too excited about my trip because I honestly wasn't sure what his state would be as the trip approached. He seems to be better now, and I hope that'll continue with each passing day!
I do have some exciting news about my trip... my dad will be joining me here and there as he is still in Florida and hasn't left yet for Indiana, where he spends his summers. He'll be working most of the week, but will join me for at least two days!
And now for the "Disney Excel Sheet" that so many of us live for
Is it me or is making up the spreadsheet half the fun?!
I didn't bother with Monday, May 21 as I have a 6am flight back to NY... and you all know what that means for pick-up time...
As I've noted before, I have a couple ADRs: Sci-Fi on Thursday and Kona Café on Friday. I was debating trying to squeeze in another but with Flower & Garden, I'll be eating a LOT in Epcot. But perhaps the two things I'm most looking forward to this trip are the Star Wars dessert party on Tuesday and Keys to the Kingdom on Saturday! Many of you have commented on both of these and I'm so grateful for your input!
You'll also note that I'm a park-hoppin' princess... I often hit up 3 parks a day because I can get restless and like the change of pace. When possible, I also try to plan my days with transportation in mind, i.e., I like to stack Epcot and MK together and Epcot and HS together because of the ease of getting between these parks. I've been known to walk between Epcot and HS even on the hottest of days because... I don't belong in NY state and fancy myself a southern girl at heart
I believe I'll
just miss many of you on your May trips and I am so bummed about that. I have an important work thing on Friday, May 11 that I can't miss and that's the reason (combined with Mother's Day!) for my May 14th departure. My goal is to someday be at Disney for May the Fourth, of course.
But this year I'll have to settle for paying tribute to Star Wars with a little more subtlety. Might have to break out my BB-8 hair bow a week or so before my trip for the occasion
If you will be at Disney during this time, please get in touch with me! Dismeets are some of my very happiest memories of my Disney trips and this is the first solo trip I think I've taken in many years where I don't have a Dismeet planned
Looking forward to sharing my trip with you all upon my return... and this time I'll be sure to have my photos backed up
