Hey Jen!

We will be there the same time, Nov 12-21 at the CBR and we will be having dinner at Mama Melrose the same day but an hour earlier from your time, we may catch each other though!

40 more days!!!

So glad you were able to get your 2nd ADR at Le Cellier!!! And I think its great that you are keeping it a secret from Brandon until you get there! Good decision!!!

I also loved your top restaurants! We ate at the Yorkshire Fish Shop at Epcot this past trip for the first time ever & I loved it!!! YUM!!! I haven't tried Mama Melrose's or Le Cellier yet, but I really hope we can get ADR's for our next trip. Your top 6 are some of my favorites as well!!! EoS has amazing sandwiches (I get the Hawaiian BBQ!) and Ghiradelli has the BEST sundaes ever!

Great choices!!!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

That's great that you got another Le Cellier ADR! I still can't get even one

 

[Nermel9]

CONGRATS on your 2nd Le Cellier reservation! They're so tricky to get last minute so I'm glad your persistence paid off!

Thanks! I'm kind of an ADR stalker...when I want a certain place, I check obsessively, many times a day. I do the same thing with rental car prices!

LOVE your top six places to eat. And for a second ADR at LeCellier. I'm so disappointed that we didn't get to Earl of Sandwich this year (next year for sure!).

Thanks! I can't believe you didn't go to EoS! I would not be able to survive in Disney and NOT go there!

So sorry it has taken me so long to reply, not sure if you saw my FB updates, but it's been a crazy weekend. I love the lists! I may have to do that when I get closer to my trip!

OMG, I saw your FB updates and I cannot believe I didn't text you! I totally forgot I had your number, I was at a wedding all day Saturday and then I saw what happened yesterday and just totally forgot! I'm so glad Ben is ok, that sounds like it was scary!

Thanks! I hope I can keep it a secret til we leave, but knowing me, I'll mention it without even realizing it!

Mama Melrose's is great, if you have been to Tony's in MK, it's pretty similar, but a little better, I think. And Le Cellier is fantastic, I hope you can get an ADR there!

That's great that you got another Le Cellier ADR! I still can't get even one

LOL thanks, I'm telling you, I'm an ADR stalker! I stalk the November cancellation thread AND the Disney website and check multiple times for something to open up!

Hi! That's crazy we will be there at the same time! Are you doing the Christmas Party? I'm supposed to be doing it Thursday 11/18 but I might go on the 16th instead...I'm not sure yet! And I'm trying to get a later ADR at Mama Melrose, but so far, no luck!

 

[Nermel9]

I just bought my Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets!!!

I know, so not a big deal, but I get excited whenever I do something for this trip, this was the last major thing I had to buy and now I'm finished!

Hurry up November!!!!

yay for party tickets!

 

[chunkymonkey]

So envious of your not 1 but 2 Le Cellier ADRs!!! And for dinner too! We could only get lunch! It was the best food of our trip! Hooray! And it's so sweet that you are keeping it a surprise too.

 

[therussells08]

Okay I just had dinner and that restaurant list still made my stomach growl! And that is SO EXCITING that you got your 2nd Le Cellier ADR! What a great surprise!

YAY for MVMCP tickets!! That is awesome! AHHH, I know I've said it alot, but your trip is so close!!

 

[Nermel9]

yay for party tickets!

Yay, I'm really excited about buying those tickets, even if I don't physically have them yet! I'm doing the will call option this year, last year I had them mailed to me but I didn't feel like paying all that extra $$$ for shipping!

I know, it seems a little ridiculous that I have 2 ADR's there when some people can't even get one. I was actually hoping to get a lunch ADR there for the 2nd reservation, but I'll settle for dinner! Brandon better be happy when I tell him how I stalked the Disney Dining website for weeks before something opened up!

Yeah, Disney restaurants will make you hungry, even when you think you are not! I'm glad I got my 2nd Le Cellier ADR, it was really Brandon's only request for the whole trip, so I had to make it happen somehow!

My trip is so close, but it's still SOOOOO far! I'm getting so fed up with my job lately, it seems like the days and weeks are dragging when they used to go by so fast, but lately they are taking forever, and I'm asking myself how I will get through the next few weeks until Disney! I really need a nice, long break from that place! The closer it gets, the more impatient I'm getting! I'm ready to get on that plane and go!

I dont know about the party yet, if we do go it will be the 18th and we may just wing it and buy tickets when we are done with our dinner at Cali Grill (we have a 5:30 seating so by the time we get done eating the party will just be starting).

I am trying to get a later MM ressie too but no luck here either

 

[MEK]

to 6 weeks! You are getting so close now. Congrats on getting a second ADR to Le Cellier. I love that place. Consistently great! and congrats to puchasing your party tickets.

Love you top 6 places to eat! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

 

[laashley]

Yum! 2 Le Cellier ADR's, lucky you. Your top 6 restaurants looks good to me. I look forward to trying Earl of Sandwich this trip. Everytime I see a sandwich from there I get sooo hungry. Haven't eaten at most of the ones you chose, just LC and CP.

Yay for buying the party tickets!!!!

[wdwgirl03]

Yay for getting your party tickets! I am so jealous, when we went a couple years ago we had so much fun. It was the second to last one so it was a great way to get us in the Christmas spirit! And plus, atleast when we got home we had Christmas to look forward to.

I was checking for MM later ADR's and I noticed it says dinner hours are something like 3-6 (or 7?) pm...even on EMH nights! I guess that's why it's hard to get a later dinner time!

Love you top 6 places to eat! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

5 weeks now! I. CAN'T. WAIT!!!!!!

I'm excited to eat at LC twice...at first I didn't care, but now I'm like, wow, how lucky am I? I can't wait for cheddar cheese soup!

EOS is amazing! I know they are just sandwiches, but seriously, they are so good...I think I'm going to try the sandwich that is supposed to be like Thanksgiving dinner this year! Turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce...OMG, it sounds so good!

YAY for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Tickets

Yay, thanks! I can't wait!!!

I loved the Christmas party last year too, it's a lot of fun! It's weird to be all Christmasy in November, but whatever, it's my favorite time of year, so why not?

Hi guys! I've been busy this weekend, and I didn't get to do any updates or catch up on PTR's/TR's or anything! Weekends go by so fast now!

Anyway, I only have 2 countdowns left to do, so I figure I will do one today and another next week, and by then it will be 3 weeks til my trip so there I'll be posting random updates about that!

In non Disney related news, I have to go to the stupid dentist tomorrow. I've been having weird pain near my bottom wisdom tooth and thought it was infected, so I called on Thursday, and they told me to rinse with salt water 3x a day. I did that, it seemed like it was getting better, then on Saturday it was bothering me again, so I called again and they told me to come in on Monday. Ugggghhhh!!! And of course, today it doesn't hurt at all...I just really hope the salt water took care of it and I don't have to get it pulled! At least not before my trip!!!

Anyway, my countdown for this week is...

My top 8 NEW things I can't wait to try this November!

I don't know why it's a top 8 list...I just thought of all the new things I was doing and most excited about and came up with a list of 8!

In no particular order...

8.

Dinner at Ohana! I keep hearing such good things about it, especially the dessert, so I'm really excited for this! I'm also planning to get there early and explore the Poly!

7.

Rope Drop at MK! I'm doing this the day after we arrive, our first full Disney Day, so I feel like it will really kick off our vacation the right way!

6.

Toy Story Mania! Finally!!!

5.

Food and Wine festival...planning on spending a good part of our first few days at Epcot to catch the end of this! Can't wait to try all the drinks and goodies!

4.

Staying at our first moderate! We've only stayed at a value (ASMu) and deluxes (WL and BC) and I'm really excited to try a moderate for this trip! Especially POR, it looks so beautiful! I can't wait to take the boat over to DTD!

3.

Breakfast at Boma and exploring AKL! AKL looks so amazing, I can't wait to see it in person! And I can't wait to try the breakfast at Boma!

2.

Festival of the Lion King! I've heard such great things about this show, I can't wait to see it for myself!

1.

Wishes Dessert Party! I'm SO excited for this, I LOVE desserts, and getting to eat all of these yummy looking treats AND watch Wishes...it doesn't get much better!

Have a great Sunday night everyone! 33 days!!!!

Love your 8 newbies. We've done Festival of Lion King (as you saw in my TR -- excellent), Boma worship:), Rope Drop -- love getting into the park right away and hooray for finally doing Toy Story Mania.

Although we've never stayed at POR, it really is a beautiful resort and I think you will really enjoy it as long as you remember going in that it is not a deluxe. But the moderates are really nice resorts.

I hope you don't have to have your tooth pulled.

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

sounds like a great list!!!! I've experienced all of those except the Wishes Dessert Party but had I still lived in WDW, I'm sure I would have gone to it by now haha.

Yay for the party tickets too!!!
