Alas 180 Days Means Nothing

Looks like we need to start warming up to the idea of calling a turkey leg and a Dole Whip dinner nightly.

180 days

That is the unit of measure that marks the deadline by which hungry vacationers must decide in advance when they will eat, where they will eat and with whom they will eat. It is 5:23 a.m. and I have no idea what I'll be serving for breakfast today, yet I can tell you exactly what I'll be eating for breakfast at 7:05 a.m. 168 days from now.

That is because we have an ADR (reservation) for Chef Mickey's. Incidently, that is the only ADR we have at the moment. Ironically, this is the first time I had it together enough to call at the 180 day mark with a plan. The Disney folk are "updating the reservation system." They are only taking reservations through March 22nd and at some point will open the window to include several months at once. Surely, that will make for a nightmare.

While I personally don't like having our vacation days revolving around a reservation made 6 months in advance, I am left assuming that I'll be feeding my 3 year old a turkey leg and a Dole whip and calling it dinner!
