Can't wait to read your reviews! I have problems with eating in Disney too, but not with ice cream, my problems are all cupcake related!

the little marla · 06-25-2012, 04:12 PM

so, not to toot my own horn or anything

but i thought i was just oh so clever with how i kept track of our DDP and our ressies.. also it's where i made notes about the food. i'm not sure if i was just so pleased with myself or the fact that it took me FOREVER to type all this up in my iphone notes.. and i had downloaded Emoji which is an app that lets me use cute little pictures in texts/instagram/anything i want... so i was determined to stick with this! Dan initially liked the idea, but may have changed his mind when i whipped it out at every meal and asking him "HOW DOES THAT TASTE?!?!?" .. "OK, BUT CAN YOU DESCRIBE IT TO ME!" ... "WHERE DOES IT RANK, BEST STEAK, WORST" .. LOL it is very hard for me to comment on the meat aspect of the dining, and it's not like i was going to taste it!

so, he was bombarded with questions, and it went like this.. every time we sat down to eat.

Dan takes 1 bite, he is not done chewing...

i look up.

"HOW IS IT"

and after a while his response was, "seriously - i'm not even done chewing"...LOL and then it slowly transformed into a look.. that basically said "seriously - i'm not even done chewing"

haha he was a trooper through the constant interrogation of his palate.

anyways here is what i did to keep track of our DDP

i had a separate note for each day, which had the park hours, where we were planning on eating and what parks we were going to. I used little day or night icons to indicate if it was an EMH, morning or evening.

and i did this for 13 days, until i started to realize the hours were the same each week.. so CUT AND PASTE.

.. making my life easier

this is where i listed overall how many snacks/QS we had.. we were there 13nights so, 26 of each, and then each time we used them i would just delete the little icon and lower the number

here i put little icons next to each restaurant to indicate how many TS they were

also a little mishap on my part, half our ressies were in my maiden name and half in my married name!

i guess i didn't realize when i was making the ressies online that i was just using the autofill feature.. ya know that info that pops up when you start typing in your name or email, yea well.. lol that caused a bit of confusion a day or two before our trip, so i needed to denote which restaurants had which name...

overall this worked out really well, other than it was annoying that at the beginning it was all nice and organized and then every time i updated the note it would jump to the top of the list!

but i'd use this system again!

I have a slight ice cream addiction

so the title caught my eye

I have been known to eat so much ice cream at WDW that I give myself a tummy ache since I don't normally eat like that at home

can't wait for the reviews
