| The "What do you mean you're going AGAIN?!" PTR That's right! I just got back from WDW two weeks ago and now I will be back again in less than 30 days to take in my very first Disney @ Christmastime celebration. How is that possible you ask? Well... It all started last August really when one of my coworkers went out on workers comp for shoulder surgery. Since that time myself, and the other PAs here have been not only working extra shifts to cover her time, but we haven't been able to use any of our holiday or vacation time since then. Which = tidy sums of extra money around the holidays when they pay us out for our unused holiday hours (woo!). Now that my coworker is back on the schedule I can not only take some vacation hours this month, it also means that I am not working as many days in a week...and in fact, I somehow ended up with the whole week AFTER Thanksgiving off. Not one to twidle my thumbs I said, well...let's see if anything is still available at WDW because I would love to see the decorations! The place: November 30 - December 4th at All Star Sports (yay for AP room discounts!) The characters: Just me! This will be my second solo trip to the world and as much as I love my friends/family sometimes it's nice to do what I want, when I want to do it. The plot: Monday: I am flying from Hartford to MCO on Southwest (I am stalking the website now for a credit!) and arriving around 6pm. Hopefully I will be in MK by 8pm and taking advantage of the EMH to 11pm that night. Tuesday: My plan right now is to spend the day in AK and then head over to MK for the MVMCP that night. Wednesday: Epcot day! I have an ADR @ Marakesh for 5pm with the Processional package at 8:15pm. I've never eaten here before, I am excited! Thursday: DHS day with dinner @ H&V at 4:30pm with the Fantasmic Pkg. I bought into this because having done only standing room only a few weeks ago I honestly don't remember ANY of the show because I was miserable....so, this time it will be different!! Friday: My flight isn't until 6pm, which means I have until 3pm before my DME pick up time. I will probably either head to MK or go to some of the other resorts to see their decorations. Not a lot of ADRs this trip, I plan on eating QS when I get hungry this time around. And that's my plan!

| An update!! So, on Tuesday I have added Tusker House for dinner @ 4:05pm...based on the time and route for the Jingle Jungle Parade I figure I can plant my patootie right in front of the restaurant and see the parade (going and coming!) and then check in for my ADR. Whenever I am done I will head over to MVMCP. I have also added the QSDP to cover my 8 QS meals. I really want to try some of the places I've never been, like Sunshine Seasons and Columbia Harbor House. I will try and keep track of my receipts/costs again to see whether this is a good deal for those who are interested. Mainly it's nice to know that I don't need to carry around extra $$ during the day for most of my meals. I did get my DME paperwork in the mail...though since I had to redo my reservation to get the dining with my AP package, I also had to redo my DME info...so I am curious if I will get a second packet. I also got my MVMCP ticket in the mail, yay!! Otherwise, I went to Target and bought another cute (but much smaller) crossbody purse to take with me since I plan on travelling light this time around. I've also been re-stocking my travel sized toiletries. I can't really pack anything though until I get back from my trip home for Thanksgiving. Mousekeeping envelopes are printed, and I am just counting down the days!!!
