It is no secret (perhaps it should be!) that I really like Barry Manilow's music. So I was listening to Copacabana for the millionth time today and I remembered something I've pondered for a long time: why can't anyone figure it out? If you know the story - and you know you do - we have Lola and her boyfriend Tony who both work at the Copacabana. Rico turns up, starts flirting with Lola and the boys fight. Then "there was blood and a single gunshot, but just who shot who?" This is the part I don't get. I mean, it works out as a lovely rhyme but it really shouldn't be that difficult to work out who shot who! There was a single gunshot and we know from the song that Lola "lost her Tony" so surely Rico shot Tony. Another possibility could be that both guys ended up dead, in which case the body that has the GSW was shot by the other one (and in that case, how did the non-shot person die? Punched to death?) For some reason EVERY time I listen to this...
In a few days, I will finally get on that flight and land in WDW - and I can hardly wait! By now, all my prep has been done: I've even started packing. The lists that I've been compiling for months have come in handy and everything has gone smoothly so far. I've also continued with my daily walks (although I've missed a few due to some very rainy days) but I do wonder if I should do as marathoners do and "taper" for a few days before the big race. Give my legs a break, that sort of thing... On this trip, I will be doing a few things that I've never done in WDW before, like tour planning . I am quite curious to see how it all goes in reality if all the planning and data that I have available really does make a difference to my trip. So far, tour planning has been quite a fun activity but of course, the real test is out there, on the field as it were. I'll let you know. I'm also doing a ticketed park event for the first time and while I was very scep...
It’s been a few months but the WDW trip planning continues with great excitement! So what have I been doing these last few months? While I am still very much not convinced about the need to pay for Genie+, I have been using the time by playing around with the WDW mobile app and learning as much as I can about touring plans. I have never been the spreadsheet-toting person that just simply has to visit everything in every single Disney park, eat all the snacks and try all the trendy restaurants. Most of my vacations include some research but I do want to HAVE a vacation so I don’t like planning things so much in advance. Things like spreadsheets and touring plans are really not my thing, even though I have seen so many cute templates online (and I DO like a notebook!). Sometimes even just reading the articles about those makes me click away immediately - too boring. When researching Genie+ I forced myself to read some of those articles and still, I remain unconvinced. I want this trip t...
