I&#8217;m really worried about being bored at night after the parks close. That seemed to happen a lot on previous vacations which is why we have Park Hopper tickets (since Epcot is open til 9 pm) and we&#8217;re bringing the PS2 and the laptop. I&#8217;d rather have too many options than hanging out in the hotel room flipping channels at 8 pm. One of the hotels we&#8217;re staying at has a 24-hour outdoor pool, so depending on the weather, that could be a nice time occupier.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe how close the wedding is getting and I still don&#8217;t have an outfit picked out! I want something beachy like a long flowing skirt with a tank top, but I haven&#8217;t found anything I really like yet other than those two skirts I wrote about. Maybe the purple one with a white tank? I&#8217;m not a big fan of white clothing, but for the occasion it does seem appropriate (if you ignore my lack of innocence, heehee).<\/p>\n<p>Talk about waiting until the last minute, right? I think I&#8217;ve decided to nix the bouquet since I don&#8217;t really have an aisle to walk up anyway. But I&#8217;m still not sure about hiring someone to do my hair or makeup. In the past I always felt overdone, so I might go the more natural route. On the other hand, if it&#8217;s possible for someone to work some magic and make me appear more attractive, then it would be worth the price. I am really dreading the photos; I&#8217;ve always been uncomfortable getting my picture taken because I think I look worse in photos than in person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never thought planning a vacation would be so tiring, not to mention frustrating!
