Hi Everyone!

I will have to do a proper PTR intro post tomorrow...I'm on my phone now but I had to report that I made my first ADR! We are going to WDW Feb 2 - 10, 2013. Staying at AoA!

We just changed our travel dates last night, so I'm scrambling a bit! I think our arrival day park is going to be Epcot, so I made a dinner ADR for Via Naoli. Might call tomorrow to switch to Le Cellier!

Hi Everyone!

I am thrilled to be starting a PTR for our upcoming trip to Walt Disney World!

My husband and I will be staying at the Art of Animation Resort in a Little Mermaid Room. Our travel dates are Saturday, Feb 2, 2013- Sunday, Feb 10, 2013.

This is our first time staying on property (well, 2nd for me- I stayed at POFQ when I was 8, but I'm not really counting that) and our first time doing the Disney Dining Plan. We are very excited about not having to rent a car and getting to enjoy more table service meals. I am also really looking forward to the New Fantasyland attractions.

So, Introductions:

My name is Nicole, I am 26 years old, and I am a librarian. I am a huge Disney fanatic (duh). I love planning the trips almost as much as taking them- I love researching, customizing our touring plans, making and changing our ADRs and enjoying every minute of the anticipation! When I'm not hanging out on the Disboards or touringplans.com, I love reading, watching crazy shows on TLC, shopping and crafting.

Chris is my wonderful husband. We have been married for almost 3 years. He is very funny and laid back. We balance each other out really well. He wasn't crazy about Disney after our first trip, but after we went for our honeymoon in 2009 he became a Disney convert (thank goodness, this would never have worked otherwise, haha). He is also a big Star Wars fan.

This trip will be our 5th time going to the World together!

ADR's: the First Draft!

Hey guys! Sadly, my disney planning has been on the back burner for a few weeks, but for good reason- I got a new job! I am moving to a different library system where I will be a teen librarian! I am thrilled because I love working with teens and young adult fiction. Anyway, that's been kind of a distraction lately!

However, I do have the "first draft" of our ADR's! I know they will probably change in the next 5 months, but I am pretty happy about how they are right now!

Saturday, Feb 2- Dinner @ Via Napoli

Sunday, Feb 3- Breakfast @ Kona Cafe (SO excited for the pineapple/macadamia nut pancakes and the tonga toast!)

Monday, Feb 4- Dinner @ Be Our Guest (!!!)

Tuesday, Feb 5- Dinner @ 'Ohana

Wednesday, Feb 6- Lunch @ Yak & Yeti

Thursday, Feb 7- Dinner @ Whispering Canyon Cafe

Friday, Feb 8- Breakfast @ Crystal Palace

Saturday, Feb 9- Lunch @ Rose & Crown

I am super excited, especially about breakfast at Kona and getting to try the brand new Be Our Guest restaurant! The menu looks awesome and I am really stoked!

Veterans, what do you think of my picks??
