YAY! Don't you love it when you get what you wanted even if you have to go around and around to get there? If they change you again, hold out for the suite in Cinderella Castle. Have you had the corn dogs from the kiosk at Boardwalk? They are yummy. That's one of our "must do" every trip. The corn dogs are really good and the atmosphere is even better. You sit outside where you can see the boats, watch people go by and try to keep the birds from getting your french fries.

Exactly Dave! We haven't had the corndogs at Boardwalk. With the parks closing earlier we may be back in the resort area and have to try them. Thanks for the tip!

YC is a great resort. Hope this is your last change. So many new places to eat at and they all sound good. When is your trip. Looks like the parks are opening or closing later and earlier.

We will be at WDW 9/13-20. The parks do have shorter hours, but from everything I'm reading attendance is so low, and certain shows not operating, you can do almost everything in a day at each park without fast pass even. Some people are complaining about "nothing to do" in the evenings, but with our work schedules we're not used to staying up late anyway. I will be fine coming back to the resort and just enjoying some relaxing time on our balcony and not having to rush.

It’s going to be a great trip. So many womderful pictures of the two of you and very few to no one in the background. I like the later morning hours. Means you don’t have to get up real early so it will feel more like a vacation. Early closing maybe pool time. Love what they call the lazy river.

So many great points, and all things I'm looking forward to! Just yesterday at work I was thinking "3 weeks from today I'll be floating on the lazy river!" Ale & Compass opened back up at YC, so I re-booked up for a breakfast and dinner there. I also just saw that Fall decorations are going up at MK on Sept. 15- that just happens to be our 1st MK day! We haven't been in the Fall since 2013 so I'm definitely excited about that!

That's great. Sounds like everything is falling in place for a wonderful trip. I am so jealous. We probably won't be able to go until COVID-19 is gone for good. We both have had pneumonia twice and DW is a diabetic, so we have to be really careful. Please take lots of pix and have a wonderful time.
Subject Change - Yesterday I went to Mayo Clinic and got seven steroid shots in my right shoulder. I have tears in my rotator cuff and some bone has come out of some socket and is wobbling around. When we got home I was pretty achy and probably a little grumpy. DW handed me a package and told me she was saving it for a special occasion. 50 DISNEY TRADING PINS! I felt better right away.

So sorry about your treatment Dave, but that's awesome about the pins! Your DW sure knows you! That's one thing Ron and I are looking forward to doing on the boards, but will also miss because of the interactions with all the CM's. We literally will track down every CM in a store, an attraction, just walking around, etc. The boys are the same way, especially Jared, who will walk up to guests to talk and trade, or even just look at their pins. Maybe we'll be in line near some people with pins we could trade with. I am not opposed to carrying a Ziploc bag to put them in and sanitize later! I counted the other day because I couldn't remember how many we ordered in Feb. prior to our supposed to be April trip, and after taking out ones we wanted to keep we each still have 93. I plan to hit the pin boards in YC, BC, and BW every day since we'll be getting back earlier from the parks. I have a feeling we will still have some for next trip.

SINGLE DIGIT DANCING!!! NEXT WEEK AT THIS TIME I'LL BE PACKING TO GO TO WDW!!!
I had a rough week at work since we have a new owner coming on board so he's having to do a lot of switchover with our other owner (who is still going to remain a vested partner and consultant, along with our plant manager who will also be a consultant)and I'm having to learn some new software stuff that he's switching us over to from his other business, figure out how to do some things bringing how we do things currently to how we will be doing them (because no one else understood or could figure it out)etc., etc... The scary part is I have one more week before vacation to "train" him on my duties so I can have a relaxing vacation and not have them calling or texting me about stuff- cuz I am NOT going to answer! The good part is our current owner is super nice and laid back with the "we'll figure it out" kind of attitude, so I have confidence she will not let anyone interrupt me.
Surprise this week- Ron and I each got 2 new shirts for the trip! We never wear matching shirts, but I found simple Haunted Mansion print ones with the Hitchhiking Ghosts and the mansion that say "Foolish Mortal" on them and when I showed him he liked them and agreed I should get them for us- mine in purple and his in blue. I was so excited they came in yesterday because I was worried they might not arrive in time since the site prints and customizes each shirt as they are ordered. Then Ron, unbeknownst to me, ordered Mandolorian themed shirts for us- one with Quill that says "I Have Spoken" and a "The Child" one for me that says "I Don't Feel Like Growing Up Today", plus a pack of "The Child/Mandolorian" socks and they came in too! I will be sure to post pictures when we get back of us in them.

Love both of the shirts. Changeovers are rough,but it sounds like it’s going ok. Good luck on getting it learned this week and I hope you don’t get any phone calls or texts. You could just say you left your phone in the room. Looking forward to r easing about the trip and seeing pictures.

Less than a week to go. You have your resort ressies made, you have your dining ressies made, you have your purple and blue shirts, you have your trading pins. Are you packed? Got the car ready? Do you know what you're going to get at Whataburger? Don't forget your masks and hand sanitizer. Stay safe and have a wonderful time! Can't wait to see the pix.

Today's the last day of work before our trip! I'm getting a mani/pedi after work, then after dinner I plan to start packing. I want to make sure I have everything in case I need to go out to grab a few things tomorrow. Ron went and took my car to get it all washed and detailed the other day and checked everything so it's road worthy now! I also heard from Taylor's girlfriend, who works at WDW, that she got her schedule for next week and she's off on our "down day" so I was able to add her to our dinner reservation! She's also working at MK both days we plan to visit there so we'll be able to say hi.

I know you’re there now sleeping away at YC. How do you like it so far. Have a great time.
