More Trip News and a Big Announcement.
So yesterday was our first ADR day. Our next ADR day in on the 25th. If your counting days you most likely wondering how our first ADR day can be so soon and also so far apart. Danielle has a reservation at Sports that starts on July 15th and runs until we all move to AOA on July 24th.
Why will she be at Sports for 9 nights? Well her lease is up on July 15th and SHE'S COMING HOME. Yes, she had decided after 3 years she's ready to leave Disney and start her adult life here for now. I'm thrilled she'll be home but I'm also torn for her. I hope she really is ready to leave for good. She will be coming back with us when we leave July 28th. Dennis is driving his truck so he can haul a UHaul trailer back with her things.
She made her decision after Dennis found out about his work conference so she worked her end date around that. I'm thinking this trip will be "The Farewell Tour". She has told her Proprietor (boss) that she is leaving and what her last day will be. She is working with Danielle and is being really good about it. She also hopes to talk her into staying. Disney doesn't just let you go when you give notice, they work with you. They would rather have time to replace someone. She would also like to leave on a good note for her resume and if she ever wants to go back.
Back to ADRS. Danielle's 60 days +10 started yesterday. She added Michelle to her reservation which gave us the option of using her room when we arrive on July 21st until our room at the Hilton is ready and extended our ADR window. We're staying the first part of our trip at the Hilton through work so that doesn't help us with ADRs. Michelle was set to make the ADRs yesterday but had some trouble doing it on her phone. I logged into her account online and made the ADRs. We have a Tusker House late breakfast, Via Napoli early dinner and Beaches and Cream lunch. There were so many options making the ADRs this far out. I got to thinking, I wonder if we can get a breakfast at Topolino's? Danielle called me to help her with the park reservations so I suggested she see what was available. Yep, we had no issued getting a breakfast on the day we move from the Hilton and Sports to AOA. She booked that and then Michelle changed our lunch at Beaches to an early dinner. Our thoughts were even if we're still full from breakfast or a snack we can still eat ice cream. This will also have us back at the Resort early to enjoy it before hitting MK the next day.
I'm also still debating renewing my AP. It expires May 24th. I know I won't be making as many trips now that Danielle is not there but I also know she is going to want to make a trip in the next year. Dennis doesn't plan to go back to Disney after this trip for a long time, but I know I'm not done with Disney. What to do?
