How are the preparations going?

Can't believe I'll be there while you get married!

You're a lucky girl!

Did you start a PTR?

I have NOT started a pre-trip report. I really want to do one but I don't know if I should do it in the "trip report" forum or the cruise forum, since the trip is both!

Hummm good question...

then again... there's also the wedding forum

So many options!!! I'll definitely start one soon though. I've never done one before and I'm excited to do it. I think it will be a nice to look back at it and read all of the things that I may not remember in a few years.

Other than that, the preperations are going really well! Thanks for asking! I just made a sample invitation last night and I think they look great! And thank god I did, because I realized the the address that my mom had given to the photographer, limo driver and florist, was the address of the parish office, NOT the actual church!!! That could have been a disaster!

 

[Later_Mater2009]

We have ressies for All Star Movies, I have been to All Star Sports (04) and All Star Music (98) but this is the first time, we are going to the movies, my youngest loves Dalmatians and Toy Story so we got preferred room in the Toy Story section (cross fingers that works out) I asked for it im not sure if it will happen, though
We have had a few family forums to discuss the restraunts and eating options with the DDP. My hubby 29 my kids BOYS 9 and 2 and my youngest brother 17 are all good eaters and LOVE TO EAT vacations which makes planning fun for me... here is a list of places and some we havent set in stone yet. I have been reading reviews on restraunts and whats good and its a tough choice I think some ppl have good experiences and some dont, which when reading reviews doesnt help much.. LOL..

We went in 04 and literally knew nothing and didnt do my homework at all, we were there for the weekend and we did MK and Sea World. THis time we are going on the 4/3 thing so 7 days of EXCITEMENT awaits, we have never been there that long or been to all the parks. Last time i was at all the parks was 98 so its been awhile.. LOL. before i had kids in fact.

This time im doing research 6 months in advance and planning to make the most of it.

We wanna go to Wolfgangs DTD on our arrival day, i have heard good things about it and the express place seems to offer a lovely menu for a Counter service
Crystals Palace
Aloha Best Friends Breakfast _ we arent big bfast ppl but I saw this back in 98 (before Stitch) and kids there LOVED it and I did too
Whispering Canyon
Boma
Coral Reef ( this one has given me the most trouble mainly because the reviews are SO mixed hubby wants to attempt it though)
Hubby and Brother want to go to ESPN club which im all for i loooove the boardwalk so i dont care

I have heard Le Cellier and Rose Crown are good in Epcot but Coral Reef seems to be the popular one around this house.

any ideas ??? suggestions??? thanks and Im glad to know other ppl are going in July, we can all go at this time and plan on taking many breaks after all we do have SEVEN DAYS.. lol

 

[DisneyMomx7]

We'll be at the Beach Club, June 28-July 12th, deluxe club level room.

Here are the ADRs I'm hoping to get!


Plaza (lunch)
Liberty Tree tavern (dinner)
Crystal Palace (breakfast)
Ohana (dinner)
The Wave (dinner)
Chef Mickey's (breakfast - we've always done dinner there so this is new)
Le Cellier (dinner)
Rose and Crown (dinner)
Coral Reef (lunch)
Biergarten ( dinner)
Tutto Italia (dinner)
Cape May Buffet (breakfast and dinner)
Mama Melrose's (dinner)
Hollywood Brown Derby (dinner)
Sci-Fi (lunch)
Raglan Road (dinner)
Rainforrest Cafe (dinner)
T-Rex (dinner)
Narcoose's (dinner for DH and I, Neverland Club for kids)
Princess Storybook Breakfast
CRT (lunch)

We're also planning on an Illuminations Cruise and Wildlife Excursion
The girls and I will be doing the afternoon tea at the GF, DH will take
ds over to EPSN that day. My dds and I will also be doing an afternoon
at the GF Spa.

Kids will be booked at the Albatross Cruise and Wonderland Tea Party.

We'll be there for 15 days/14 nights - that's why we'll have so many ADRs!

 

[momthechauffer]

We're arriving 7/11 and staying until the 18th at the CBR!!!

We're hoping to get ADR's for the Fantasmic dinner package, Crystal Palace, Le Cellier, Teppan Edo.

We were just at Disney (AKL) back during winter break in mid-February and we couldn't have passed up the 4/3 deal, either.

This will be our second time back to the CBR since 2002. People think we're nuts going back to Disney so soon - and believe me, I can't believe I'm doing it twice in one year. One thing we did discover though was, why we never went away before during February. We did not want to return to the cold winter blues here in NY. We loved the FL sunshine and did not want to leave! Plus we were at the AKL which was great.

I guess I'll be on hold with the other DIS'rs waiting for ADR's in the next few weeks.

 

[logpey]

Thx so much for the switch!

 

[IloveAKL]

We will be going July 26-31, staying at Saratoga Springs on developer points.
This will be our 4th July in a row!
This trip was not planned until we received our developer points. We were planning on doing Washington DC this summer, and we still are, just not as long as origionally planned.
We are going to try something different this time; no parks, no dining plan! I'm interested to see how this goes as my husband loves the thrill of obtaining fastpasses!
These are the restaurants I want to go to, not sure when yet and still have lots of time before the 90 day mark:
Kona Cafe
'Ohana breakfast
'Ohana dinner
Sanaa (new AKL restaurant)
Dinosaur
Can't wait!!

The Who's going list has been updated. It can be found on page 3 post 39.

Welcome to all the newcomers. We have a great group. Lois

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I started a pre-trip report!! Thanks for the inspiration PopArtGal!!! There's a link in my signature! Join me everyone! It's my first time and I need my July planning friends for encouragement!

 

[logpey]

I go to the parks, downtown disney, resort (look around), rent the boats. Does anyone have any suggestions for different stuff to do. I thought My husband and I would do a tour of the magic kingdom while the kids are at the neverland club (if they coinside), we are going to Blizzard Beach, that will be a first for us! anything different, that yall like to do.. any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thx Logpey

I always answer the question the same way - Segway Tour at World Showcase! If you could get some alone time with your DH, I highly recommend this "tour." I airquote "tour" because it's not really about getting a lot of information like you would on a MK tour but more about the experience and fun of riding the segway and having World Showcase all to yourself!! Worth every penny!

OR Lunch with an Imagineer...if you're into that kind of thing. We loved that too!
