At last, here we go!
We booked the cheapest possible nearby motel via Priceline because we knew there was NO chance of being there early otherwise, and left the day before. We shopped at Downtown Disney and got a couple of new t-shirts, plus a long-sleeved one for me for sleeping in in winter. (Since styles come and go seasonally, there is no guarantee that it would be there later.) There are also new colors of Disney kitchen tea-towels (yellow, pale green) but we decided that basic black and white works better for us (see the Our House thread in Chit Chat -- the bathroom might work with pale green but the kitchen is mostly black, white, grey, stainless steel etc.). We got a couple more because they were only $5 each and genuinely useful. We didn't buy much though, just given the money situation.
No pics of this, alas -- we wanted to save that for AK's 20th anniversary the next day!
