Hi, I'm Sharon and I have had some sort of brain fever or alien abduction or my cat forced me but, last night....with the okay from my husband, John....I got on the computer and booked at trip to WDW in May! That's right; just two and one half months away. How does this give me time to obsessively plan and replan? Well, it doesn't. I laid awake in bed last night and worried about everything: spending the money...I am a notorious tightwad......did I have enough shorts, my old bathing suit, losing ten pounds so I would look human in my old bathing suit. You name it, I worried about it. I felt like I had been taken over by a person who thinks "Carpe Diem". I wish I were that person but, honestly, I'm a planner and budgeter....and worrier. But, here we are with about 75 days before we get on a plane and head to Florida and one of my very favorite places on Earth: Walt Disney World.
So our dates are May 11 to May 18th (taking advantage of the Spring Special)
We'll be staying at Port Orleans-Riverside in a preferred room...more on that later.
We're having the quick service dining plan as well because the last time we went...oh, so long ago... 4 whole years......we spent way too much time worrying about our table service reservations.
And it's the two of us: Sharon and John. Love birds celebrating our 27th anniversary and John's 53rd birthday.
I will tell you all, right here and now, that for the past four years we have been stuck in a medical nightmare and wishing we could close our eyes and escape to....anywhere but where we were. In a nutshell, John had been injured at work....oilrigs are dangerous places....and has undergone 8 operations to date; including three, count them 3, knee replacements. And although I wish it were, it's not over yet. He starts more testing next week and we wanted to get away and have fun before the battery of excellent doctors decided it was time for yet one more operation. Hence, that totally madcap click of the mouse on the WDW website last night. Heck yes!!! Carpe Diem!
Oh, where was I ? I was trying, in my long winded way, to explain that John has mobility issues and that's why the preferred room. I'm hoping it will cut down on the actual walking distance to the bus stop and the food court at POR.
So, please, join in (and if you or a loved one faces mobility issues I would appreciate any and all advice or tips). I have just this very day learned that we will be there for the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot and I am in the dark about what this means....other than things about flowers and gardens, of course. I feel so lost here......:confused:
More later, my Mouse Planet friends.
Sharon
