Yes, we were at the GF from 6/12 to 6/19. The boys loved it. :goodvibes The weather was just too hot for us. We spent a lot more time at the pool this trip than in the parks.

Thanks for asking! :flower3:

Thanks you guys! If it wasnt for Mare showing me the review section I never would have won and get this, I have never won anything before!

I called DH and he is thrilled, he loves tours like that ... now I just have to figure out when we will do it...hmm maybe a Friday since the parks are prety busy on a Friday...I promise to tell you all about it!

You deserve it babe! I could never do what you do! With a terrible two year old, I'm lucky if I get to eat a meal let alone take a picture of it! :rotfl:

Congratulations Nicki! :banana: That is great news. I have always wanted to do this tour so I guess I will have to live vicariously through you. Can't wait to hear all about it!

I am so sorry I missed this exciting news, girlfriend. I must have been under a rock the last several days. All right, truthfully, I've been avoiding the "food" pages because I'm depressed we aren't going and didn't want to read about all the great meals I'm missing (plus getting aggravated at oldest DS who is leaving for Disney this Thursday and does not have ONE ADR!).

In any event, CONGRATULATIONS, my good friend. You are so deserving (even Todd can have a little bit of credit!). And, I read in another thread you posted in, DO NOT go to Boatwright's for dinner. I know you--and you would not like.

WHAT!?! :eek: He is your kid and he doesnt have ressies for every single day of his stay??? And let me guess, he is not going to take pics or do a food review either right?

Man, didnt this kid learn from his mama? :lmao:

That's what I said. :scared1:

Now, I'll give him a little slack because he is there to coach his baseball team and he JUST got the schedule of games on Friday. However, I'm trying to convince him to let me try to make one or two ADR's for him and his girlfriend. The problem is they have one of his players staying with him and his girlfriend. Long story--the parents of the player could not afford to go nor could they afford to pay for their son--Mom had to quit work because 3-year old goes into diabetic seizures and had to be home to take care of him; dad lost job, got part-time job and then lost that; they've been kicked out of their apartment and are living in hotel. The team did some extra fundraising and paid for young boys airplane ticket; Andy (our son) is paying for everything else--room, tickets, food, etc. Since Andy is responsible for him he doesn't want to "push him off" on the other parents. Hence, not sure where they want to eat, etc. They are going to go to Fulton's one day for lunch and try to get into Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex as a group one night. I'm still trying to convince him to let me try to get something at Epcot for him, but he is stubborn. So I can guarantee you--no pictures from Andy and no food porn. Luckily, his girlfriend likes to take pictures and will take plenty of the resort and the team and Andy and herself.

Thanks. He is mature beyond his 23 years--and a lot of that was his late grandpa's doing and going through what he did with his grandpa last year. I'm VERY proud of him and glad to call him my son! :love:

Okay...I COULD NOT STAND IT. I made reservations in each park (with the exception of AK because they are not going there) so they at least have something...they can always cancel (I'll give the info to the girlfriend--Nicole--and I've told her to call the night before or the morning of if they are not going to go).

I was able to get the following:

July 4 -- 3:00 p.m. at Fulton's
July 5 -- 3:10 p.m. at Sci Fi
July 6 -- 2:35 p.m. at The Plaza
July 7 -- 3:00 p.m. at Biergarten
July 8 -- 10:00 a.m. -- 1900 Park Fare (I know the boy traveling with them is 13, but it may be the only time he ever gets to Disney and figured he had to do one character meal and it was the only one I get)

I feel better that they have something!
