Finally all caught up!
I'm getting excited over everyone's PTR because I'm going to be starting one soon for our Feb trip!
Great plans! Very excited you were able to get great ADRs! Ohana and Tusker house are favorites. I think the food at Tusker beats Rainforest any day. It's so interesting and the ambiance is really cool.
Tell DH it has a Indiana Jones theme, LOL.
Garden Grill for dinner was soooo good on this past trip (I'll be writing about it in an upcoming post on my TR). I can't wait to hear what breakfast is like! I think I may have to do both next year!
I enjoyed San Angel in the past. I think it'll have to be on our ADR list next year. My list keeps getting bigger and bigger! I will have more meals than rides! LOL.
Yay for another trip in February! One of the goals on this trip was to take advantage of our FD and try some new places, which can be a bit easier when the kids on not with us (though my DH is a pretty picky eater). So, we are trying out all new place except for Sci-Fi which is a Must Do on each trip.
I promised DH we would eat at Rainforest Cafe when we go back in the Spring with the family.
Indiana Jones theme....perfection!!
Super excited about Garden Grill...I never planned on having 2 breakfast ADRs but I'm looking forward to both GG and TH. I ate at GG years and years ago when I was there on a school trip, and have wanted to go back ever since.
San Angel has always been on my list...I love the atmosphere there. I am a bit worried about what DH will order because he is so picky but he wanted this ADR and I'm sure he will find something.
BTW: I'm following along with your TR...I have fallen behind
but I'm slowly catching up...just got to the part where you met
@Tracy161!
Sheesh, you were right with all the changes
Just kidding, obviously when you plan such a big vacation with so many components, starting so far in advance, changes are bound to happen!
So exciting for that 'Ohana dinner! We ate there in May 2014 and we absolutely loved it. They're changed the menu a tiny bit since is my understanding, but most everything was delicious, even with our group of mismatched eaters. The bread pudding is amazing.
Also, just a quick note to say - don't worry about morning EMHs. Although it is true EMHs can affect crowd levels, it is less so for the morning variety. Not everyone is willing to be up at the crack of dawn to catch a bus and make it to park opening by 8 am. We *always* try to plan our Animal Kingdom day with EMHs, because we can get so much done in that extra hour! Honestly, any time we've done it, the park is virtually empty. And if you're hitting the Safari during that time anyway, you're making away with one of the rides that would get the most affected by an influx of extra people.
And I hope you enjoy your first Fantasmic! It makes me emotional to no end every single time.
Hello!! I know my plans have been all over the place...from where we were going to stay, park changes and then ADRs!! This PTR has helped me keep it all straight (well as much as I can)!
I've been wanting to try 'Ohana Dinner for so long, but the last trips have been with the kids and I was just never sure how they would like it. So, I thought this was the prefect time with FD and just the 2 of us. I'm still so excited I was able to grab 5:05 time frame as well. This leaves us with some options regarding fireworks for that night...we can watch from the Poly Beach (which something I have always wanted to do) or I was thinking about getting a Wishes FP and we can go back to MK after dinner. I think I'm leaning toward watching from the beach, but I have heard that sometimes they turn people away from the beach if they are not staying at the Poly.
Thanks for the input on the morning EMH hours....I probably wouldn't even attempt to make the morning EMH hours with the kids but I think this is something DH and I could handle.
Man you have it down pat.. I am terrible and couldn't even tell you what day we are doing what right now..
I love the fact you wrote if we get soaked go back to change!!!! Gotta love Epcot!!!
I have faith that you will get it all planned out!
I'm not excited about the whole Kali River Rapids at all..I hate being in wet clothes!! However, Keith has mentioned a couple of times he would like to go on it. So, I figured it would be best to schedule right before we left. I also found out recently they have free lockers right near the ride, so I think we will change our shoes and wear ones we don't care about getting wet on the ride and then change back into our "good" shoes. Nothing worse then wearing wet shoes!!
Epcot is definitely my 2nd favorite park...Keith not so much but oh well!
Love your plans!! Looking at your arrival day plans to do DHS with EMH actually made me think about doing that instead of doing DHS in the morning....I'm tempted to maybe do that but then the stupid tier system is what's holding me back because I want to be able to use RD for some attractions that may be busy at night...ugh...it's hard to decide what to do. You have some great ideas and I'm so jealous of your O'hana ADR
Initially we were not even planning on doing a park on our arrival day at all, but then when the hours were released and I saw DHS had evening EMH hours I figured we might as well add another day to our tickets. My justification was we are planning on getting APs for me and DH on this trip since we are going back in the Spring (crunched the numbers and it would be cheaper for us to get APs instead of buying tickets for this trip and then again for us in Spring). So, even if we didn't end up using that park ticket it would still go toward our AP purchase when we upgraded.
The FP Tier system drives me nuts, I guess I understand why they do it but it still makes planning a bit more difficult. Since DHS is the only park we are planning on going to that day the FP won't be too much of an issue. The main FP I want to get for the evening is for F!, I still can't believe I have never seen this show! That is why it is on my Must Do for this trip!
Isn't that a GREAT feeling?!
You're in good company here.
Love this! Yaaaay!
Only 4 more to go and I will have paid it off by the due date!! I know they give you a grace period but it is my goal to have it paid off by 10/1/15, and then I can focus on saving up for the car rental, gas and spending money (which includes food $ for the trip there and back).
My spreadsheet would not have been possible without your help
Some Advice, please
