Queen of making changes? I think I may be in the running! I keep trying to run through our days and see if anything feels out of place. I went over and over the 14th and I just hated the idea of having an ADR that day :cautious: SO I cancelled it! I have no plans to make another and hope we can walk up to raglan road or somewhere else in Disney springs late night. Since we secured the dining plan I made our mama melrose dinner reservation into a fantasmic lunch package. Same meal, different time plus appetizers and prefferred seating to fantasmic? Sign me up! And that's it, for now ;)

Trying to keep this up to date!

Wasn't going to make an ADR for the 14th but ended up booking tusker house so we could snag the ROL dining package. I'm a little worried this will be character meal overload for Billy :confused: we never went to one last time and now we have 3! I have heard the food at tusker is good and he seems excited for ohana and chef mickeys. I brought up cancelling chef mickeys so it wouldn't be too much and he was like "you can't do that we were suppose to go last time and never did, we HAVE to go" :hilarious: we shall see how he feels when we're there!

Not news to anyone but tickets for mnsshp went on sale and the 17th ended up being one of the cheaper days so that was a nice surprise :D

Also not news but not a nice surprise... finding out splash would be closed for our trip. Have I mentioned this is my favorite ride :banghead::mad::arghh::bawling::cry: I don't always love getting wet but it was the first "thrill" ride I ever rode. I love the animatronics, the laughing place, and the music. The music is my favorite :cry: I am majorly bummed about this. Cant they wait a couple weeks??!

Leaving this on a positive note. Splash being down makes choosing fast pass+ easier :cool: and we can book those plus online check in a little over a month. Crazy how quickly the last year has gone by!

I'm up biting my nails because 60 days!!!

How is time going so fast?! I'm feeling prepared mostly. I've got all my Disney Outfits picked out, as well as my favorite food and wine items but I haven't ordered trip groceries yet... so basically the important stuff is done :p:hilarious:

Just checked in online and I'm just a couple hours away from my fast pass window :D:D praying I get a coveted FOP fastpass, send your fastpass vibes my way!

To be continued.... :brb:

Well i set my alarm for 3:50am (pst) and billy woke me up at 4:11... My alarm went off for 20 minutes :eek: I woke in a panic and frantically searched the most important day of Fastpass, AK day. FOP was gone :arghh: but Navi river was still available. SO instead of rope dropping Navi we will just rope drop FOP. But we do have another morning at AK annnnnnddddd FOP was available! So i snagged it before i could change my mind. Was going to make late night mk fastpasses for this day but i think we will be able to manage without them.

Checked in, Fastpass made! Now all we have to do is wait...
