Woot! First training run!
Slowly plucking away at the annoying trip administrivia that’s keeping me from spending all my time tweaking TP and perusing menus.
Incoming awkwardness warning:
I have no idea how y’all do it. Keeping each other’s personal details straight? I sort of think of you are all as one massive entity in my memory bucket. Yes, you are from NY/FL/MT/MI/WA/WI! You have kids of every age! That are in band/cheer/all the sports! And work all the jobs!
Oh, and my memory for faces is even worse. I can literally meet someone a dozen times and still not get past “I thought you looked familiar!”
I can vaguely remember globs of numerical data points about things like Covid, but I totally flail at people memory.
Just throwing that out there so no one takes in personally when we meet up and I introduce you vaguely (or with hashed info) to my family!
I have trouble remembering names… so its’ ok
I am hereby making a similar disclaimer if I run into any Liners in WDW! I am especially flustered when I’m in a hurry so please no one take offense if you don’t get much more than a wave and a smile from me as we pass by. But if possible it will be fun to stop and visit for a minute and take a photo for the forum’s sake.
I suspect we have the best chances since our BLT days overlap (if I remember correctly). But with 3 littles in tow, I’m not promising any Liner meets. Sorry to all of you that live vicariously through the forums
It was SO nice to sit and have a lovely chat w/ @Julianne_fki and her DD, but we made the plans to brunch and visit. I got to chat for a spell w/ @ninjasherrie, @Dreamer and @Randall1028 too. None were rushed but I can see liners as go-go-go so, I’d never take offense at just a wave hello in recognition. I’d hate to take someone off their plan of attack or mine, for that manner, if I was on a mission
If you see me, wave me down with your cane and I will stop to say hello!
These are amazingly mild temps for this time of year for our part of Texas. (Silver lining to the ongoing rain and street flooding we’ve been having.). Wish I could bottle these temps and take to Disney!
Anyone want to join me on my overthinking topic for today?
MFSR. Party of 7. Go.
What are you overthinking? Should I be overthinking this for my trip?!
Only 6 seats, right? Or can we smuggle a 7th aboard?
Do I suck it up and let the rest of the family ride together?
Do we split 4 and 3 and ride with strangers? 5 and 2?
Ride twice and one person swaps? If you don’t want other people. Don’t miss out if you want to ride!
Oh, I’d definitely still ride, but solo with a bunch of strangers. I don’t think they’ll let us swap without waiting again? Maybe I can beg some pixie dust…it will be DH’s birthday…
I agree with this. If you have multiple HS days (I think you do if I remember right), one day one person rides solo or does something else nearby, and the other day a different person does that. The 2 people riding only once with the family automatically get pilot.
Pixie dust would be perfect for this situation!
I think everyone getting a chance to ride with the whole fam would be nice. Either same day or different days. So fun you could fill a whole ride.
Unfortunately, the recent changes in capacity and increased wait times is going to limit the number of rides we can do twice. But yeah, whoever goes solo will get a different perk at some point if nothing else.
What @Jeff_AZ said. I’m not going to be in a hurry this trip at all. Smelling the roses. Life has been insanely busy and I’m determined to make this relaxing! Lol
Us too but the mosquitoes from this wet weather are killing me
I haven’t been keeping up with hardly any threads. Did wait times escalate at HS again? When I evaluated my plan for tomorrow (Monday 6/7) on 5/28 before we left, I could complete RnRC, AS2, and SDD by 9:38am. I was going to tweak a few things, but now it’s saying those same 3 steps would take until 11:24am.
