Just turned the notification level up on this thread. don’t want to miss a word!
Here’s the bucket list that I wrote up about a month ago in one of the Clean Open Threads.
My bucket list for November is EPIC. These are all the things I’m planning that will be 100% new experiences for me. 45 things that I’ve never done before. I’ll change it a bit to account for the things that I’ve changed in my plans since then.
Edited to add: These aren’t all the things on my itinerary, just the new-to-me things that I’ve never done before.

Darling @SallyEppcot I am so excited for you and just wish that I was going to be there to see you sparkle and shine! Don’t forget to make a “Sally Only” wish in one of the POFQ fountains! Or, at Epcot in Italy walk over the bridges towards the lake near the gondolas - there is a small fountain on the lake side. One evening DS10 and I walked over the bridges and saw it. I didn’t have any coins so I said we’d just use our fingers - make a wish and then swish our fingers to make it happen. We wished and at the exact moment we dipped our fingers all of the lights came on for the evening in World Showcase. Disney magic abounds and I am very certain you will find much of it on your upcoming trip.
P.S. do NOT do tequila shots with @MDU - trust me on this one
Shots of any type would kill me. I’m really not a drinker. I enjoy a glass of nice wine with a fabulous dinner, or a single cocktail over a long evening with friends, but I’ve never been drunk in a bar or done shots of any kind. Don’t worry. My version of Living Large will be very tame. I’m pretty sure the others understand and will respect that.
Thank goodness I found this thread. I would not miss “your trip” for anything! Can’t wait to follow along
It sounds like you have an awesome trip planned!! : ) Loving your “Bucket List” in particular! I am a list kind of gal too… helps me keep on task so to speak.
I love your bucket list! I think it’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see how many of them you get to check off.
I still think it’s unfair of you to call your trip selfish. Selfish has negative connotations, and taking some Sally Time to enjoy life and new experiences is not at all selfish. It’s wonderful!
@SallyEppcot, drink more than one of the hurricane drinks at the POFQ lounge and you will accomplish that task.
I’m really looking forward to following along with your trip!! (As for the Hurricane, I live near NOLA. Only tourists drink them because they don’t know any better. It’s a hangover in a glass.)
Looking forward to following your trip. Excited for you!!
@SallyEppcot I am looking forward to hearing about your trip! Thank you for starting this thread - can’t wait to read about your adventures! Loving your bucket list. Wish I could tag along to cross a few things off myself! Have the best time ever!
I’m almost done packing!!!
I’ll be following along during your trip! We are headed ‘home’ on 11/11 so we’ll miss you by a few days. I’m so excited to go in just over a week and following your adventures will only make things more exciting!
Our tiki restaurant has hurricane drink it is a similar from WDW. They used to a bell when someone had it but the neighbors made them stop. I like them.
Did you hear 7DMT had fire on roof from fireworks. Is it closed,
It isn’t closed. It re-opened after just a couple of hours last night. No worries.
The boys have been sobbing for 30 minutes. I don’t think the early morning flight was a good idea. I should have given them a chance to say good bye in the daytime.
