Just around the corner.....

I actually can't believe I am saying this but I go on holiday next month, yes you heard right next month; after what seems the longest countdown ever the days just seem to be flying by and sooner than you know it the suitcases will be out of the cupboard (unless you are Emmie Lou and her suitcase is already out and I think might even be a little bit packed).

Thankfully the list of things left to do is getting smaller - do our API's, book our shopping trip, return flight seats and secure an elusive Be Our Guest lunch Fastpass. I still find it hard to believe that a quick service location is so hard to get into that Disney offer on site guests the option of booking a slot for lunch instead of queue in up in the lovely Florida sunshine

The restaurant is themed as the Beasts castle and includes the ballroom and the West Wing including the magical rose that you see in Beauty and the Beast. Aside from the theming being amazing I have only heard good things about the meals there and fingers crossed I will get to try it for myself.

I will admit to checking the BeOurGuestLunch website nearly every other day to see if it shows availability, but from what I have read online the option to book this doesn't become live until about 30 days prior to your trip so I will just have to be patient

What can I do instead.......oh just spend ages trawling the Walmart website (who knew such a thing as a red velvet cake yoghurt was even available - might have to try that instead of my usual key lime pie one); I know that doesn't sound exciting but there are those things that you really enjoy while you are on holiday that you spend the rest of the year wanting more of them.

Thanks to the internet I have a list as long of your arm of things I want to get from Walmart, and I'm in denial about the fact I don't have a big enough luggage allowance to get it all home. After all if you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I am planning to bring home some rather large peas and everything else needs to fit around them

Each year we go I say I might just leave James there so I can bring more stuff home but this year I have a cunning plan - basically I have 3 suitcases and he gets one; after all he is a bloke and just how many t-shirts can one person buy? James I know you will be reading this and that is not a challenge, you really don't need anymore where as I need more pens and just about everything else I buy!

Until next week, I'm off to see what beading stuff Walmart sell xxxx
