Spring Break Update #3

Okay, so back to another fabulous Spring Break update!
Well, I am turning into a Shopoholic, any tips to get myself to stop? Whenever I save money for one thing, I haven’t so much swiped my bank card before I have something else on the list. Lately, I REALLY want the new Ipod nano—its such a step up from the 2nd gen nano that I have- 4x the space, video capabilites and the same price Rob paid for mine! I have decided I won’t purchase it until I lose 15 lbs. I lost 5 already and I feel like its not too much to ask myself to work hard for 10 more!

Now, I know I have posted pics of my niece up here before. She is also my goddaughter and I love her to pieces! Tuesday is her 1st birthday and my sister wanted the theme to be Fairy Princess. As things progressed I noticed she was theming a lot more like my wedding. (Sidebar: I know that I am not engaged or whatnot but when my sister got married I chose some things along the way and shared them with my mom and her- things I would want for my own wedding. I know Crissy is thinking that it is very Charlotte of me. In any case, I want a Cinderella cake topper, my colors to be pink and green, to have a special dance for Sisters & Brothers where I dance with my bro and Rob with his sis AND a castle cake to play off of the “Fairy Tale” theme that I wanted to pull in with favors, invites, and obvi my topper.) Now suddenly, Lenore (my sis) has decided to make her daughters cake a CASTLE! My mom swears they would be completely different but I don’t believe it. Here is a pic of Isabelle (my niece’s) cake to be:

And here is one I picked (mind you the castle and flowers would only be dusted with some pink and the vines only dusted green so it would be very white):

I told my mom how I felt and she kind blew it off like they would be totally different. Am I crazy for being annoyed? For feeling like my family will see my wedding cake and think that it’s a wedding cake version of the baby’s birthday cake? I told my mom and sister that I respect that they changed the cake and weren’t trying to hurt my feelings but I still feel like it stole my thunder before I got to have thunder. I basically said, I will get over it if you do the cake anyway but I don’t have to like it.



Anyways, on to WDW trip planning I have changed my ADR choices but these are not in an order set in stone. I have done some reading and got a few down pat, the rest I have some questions on. After looking at the flight schedules for Jet Blue (I found the timetable on the site even though the prices aren’t yet released). Looks like we will probably fly in very early on Wednesday morning and leave early evening Sunday. Which works out because I wanted to get in the half day in the parks either Tuesday or Sunday. I think I might even pay through Sunday so we can stay in our room the longest amount of time possible.
In any case, here’s my meal plan of late:

Wednesday:
Lunch- ???Character Meal???
Dinner- Le Cellier

Thursday:
Dinner- Hollywood Brown Derby with FDP (paying OOP)

Friday:
Dinner- Les Chefs de France

Saturday:
Dinner- ???Something Else???

Sunday:
Breakfast- 1900 Park Fare (if you notice I switched this from a Sat Cinderella character dinner to a Sunday morning Mary Poppins bfast. I hear fabulous things about this over the OHana breakfast, plus we can schedule breakfast, freshen up, then head to a nice photopass photog session and get our nice little souvenir. I figure we can hit the park after we finish up via the monorail or enjoy the resort because we are looking at a 5:30ish DME pick up I am guessing)

Here is what I am looking at for each…
Character dining lunch
Crystal Palace (I am leaning towards this because we tend to want to beeline for MK upon touchdown at MCO)
Liberty Tree Tavern
Chef Mickeys

Dinner
Spoodles (So far the most recommended with my interest most peaked… I can even get some shopping done and then walk to Epcot for a last ride of Gran Fiesta Tour and Soarin..)
Beaches & Cream
Captain Jack’s
Biergarten (I would love to eat here but Rob HATES German food)
Boma

Help me! Help me! What would you do if you were me? LoL! I was hoping to have my choices squared away before the end of this week so I don’t have to worry about it in the stretch from back to school until ADR time!
