Hey Alicia,
I'm trying to climb out of a very, VERY deep DISHole, but making progress. I'm all caught up here and can relate all too well with packing and living out of suitcases and moving. It's... hard.
You have some fantastic snacks planned! 8 Spoons... MMMMM!!! And the Peter Pan Float. OH YES!
Glad that the Shades debaucle was fixed and the FiPs were salvaged! EEK!
I am trying and failing to stay out of the DISHole. Internet is sporadic at our temporary housing, so I imagine I'll fall even more behind than I already am this week. It happens...
I first saw the mac and cheese at 8 Spoons from your reports and have been eyeballing it ever since!

Wow! That moving process sounds extremely intense. I am highly impressed by your organizational skills!
This is literally me with pin trading except it's DBF doing all the talking!
That's how I feel about the Peter Pan float too. I'm dying to try it but I don't like lime at all so I don't know what to do.
Ugh I wish I was eating this right now! Our last meal at LTT was so disappointing that DBF won't agree to go back yet but that toffee cake is soooo good!
I stopped pin trading, because I was always making Alex do the work. Hopefully, Evie will be better than me!
Oh no! Originally, I booked LTT because the dessert is legendary and I saw they had the beer Alex likes. Then I discovered AKL serves the beer, and the toffee cake is sometimes served at the dessert party. And since we're eating a turkey-esque dinner at Garden Grill, I'm starting to wonder if I should cancel this reservation.
That is impressive! Do you have none of your kids toys?!?!
I had some of this at the dessert party. It is soooo sweet! I want to book Liberty Tree Tavern on our December trip just to have this but I don't know if it will fit.
The kids were able to fit 5 or 6 stuffed friends and their 2 favorite books in their suitcase. Then, they each have a carry on backpack that has their Ipads, headphones, workbook/coloring book, baggie of crayons and markers, a gallon Ziploc bag with their plastic toys, and two more stuffed friends.
Landon is still going to school so that keeps him entertained during most of the day, and we are next door to a park. So Evie has been staying busy with slides and library books. They both can keep themselves occupied with pinecones and rocks, so they haven't noticed the absence of toys. (They've also gone to friends' houses and played with their things.)
I did not realize the dessert party had the toffee cake. Hmmm. This has posed a new quandary. I booked LTT for the dessert and because it served Alex's Magic Hat # 9. Now that I can get both elsewhere, I'm wondering if I should change the reservation. We are eating a Thanksgiving-like dinner at Garden Grill, too, so I'm not sure if the kids will be turkey-ed out. Guess I'll have something to think about this week.
I'm caught back up again! Sorry, it took me a while. Your Disney trip is coming up so quickly now! In the meantime, I'm sure the packing and moving has been hectic, to say the least. I'm looking forward to more of your updates, and to hearing all about your trip when it comes around.
It's been a whirlwind, that's for sure. But we are almost to our trip, so that has been nice. The kids appreciate us having more time to do fun things versus clearing out of our house and packing!
