I had to cancel our ressies for August. We were staying at Caribbean Beach; had dining ressies for Paddlefish, Tusker House, Tokyo Dining, Be Our Guest; fast passes for Na’vi River Journey, Spaceship Earth and Soarin’.
We have a friend who is having rotator cuff surgery the day before we were supposed to leave for WDW. She is single and has no family in the area. We volunteered to let her stay with us for a week until her brother and sister-in-law can get here from Rhode Island. I tried to get ressies for two weeks later, but most of the things we wanted to do are not available.
We were going back in December anyway so I have been trying to duplicate our ressies for that trip. So far I have been able to get ressies for most things except Be Our Guest. I made that ressie for the middle of January, so we’ll just have to go back then.
When DW insisted I retire, I really fought it. I loved my job, really liked the people and did not want to retire. I’m an engineer and, much like a border collie, if I don’t have something to do I’m just going to get in trouble. However, after being retired for over three years I’ve found that I really like to be able to just plan a trip and go. Don’t have to take vacation, don’t have to brief someone else on my projects. Just plan, pack and go. That’s why we can go in December and again in January.
More later on my search for ressies.
