It was more upsetting when it happened, because we only had one more night to watch them (2 days left, and we were doing the WOC dessert party the next night) . They didn't go off the next night either(you can hear/see some from California Adventure). We got a decent view of the castle on our last night, with good views of the Matterhorn and Main Street projections so it worked out. Plus the very first night we ended up with front row spots by small world, so can't complain too much lol
That's good! How did you like the dessert party? I'm really looking forward to WOC!
Yay, I'm so glad that you'll be able to ride it!
I know! looking forward to it!
Wow, you really are catching the very tail end of things!
yup, tell me about it...but on the upside I will sandwich my trip between hyperspace mountain and ghost galaxy, LOL!
This really makes me wonder what they would do if there was too much wind to do the fireworks this night (as was the case all 5 nights of our trip and apparently fairly often, based on comments here). I mean, it's the last night - would they reschedule?
I was wondering about that too! I am not sure if they have a contingency plan like that but it would be nice if they did, hehe.
We were planning to do this and changed our plans on the fly, not making it there. I've heard great things, though!
I'll make the time for fried chicken, LOL!!
Sounds like a smart plan to me! And cool that you get to have a character brunch with family the next morning too.
Yeah! I thought it'll be really cute and fun for the in-laws!
Ha, you are one devoted burger fan!
haha, yes but only at in n out really...
Yes, just October. If you aren't following it yet, Yulilin is running the Star Wars thread and updating it right away when new dates are released for booking. She said there has been an every two weeks pattern, I believe. It will be a while at that rate (and I'm only waiting for December - we are hoping we can squeeze it in).
I hope so too! I wonder if next year they will put some Rogue One stuff in...
Yes, it would make planning a LOT easier if I knew I could count on that being every night! But, oh well. Luckily I'm the only one in the family that knows about it (the kids are getting the trip for Christmas) so at least there won't be huge disappointment if it doesn't work out. I hope you get it for your birthday, though!
Thanks!! Hope you get it too!
We will be staying in a 1BR Beach Club Villa that weekend. I had originally booked BLT but planned to change to Beach Club when our 7 month window opened. We are planning to walk back to the hotel after the 5k. Hopefully we will have the energy.
We will only be there from the 22nd and flying back on the 26th so kids can go back to school on Monday the 27th. I have not decided on where we will be eating but I want to try Garden Grill for breakfast and Jungle Navigation Skipper Canteen. And we will try conquering the kitchen sink this time!
Nice! I asked if any villas at BC were available to rent via DVC points but there were not, so I guess the Contemporary will do!
I hope you get the ADRs you want! I really want to try the kitchen sink too! Maybe a post-race treat? Hehe.
We are just going for the weekend, but we're trying the
DDP as an experiment. Our current plan:
1900 Park fare dinner Friday night
BOG breakfast (not too early, not too late) Saturday Morning
'Ohana dinner Saturday evening pretty early so I can get to bed
BOG lunch before we have to head back home
Our ADR day is in a week, and I'm somewhat scared that this will be a basically impossible list, but I'm going to try anyway!
Those are great ADRs! Good luck! I have still not made a list or determined which park to go on which days. I usually use the touring plan crowd calendar so just have to make time to check it!
Today I went ahead and booked the WOC dessert party
I know, I know...I said it was too expensive
Well....yeah......but we're still doing it
It's our 12th wedding anniversary today and my mom gave us money as a gift which we were NOT expecting so it pads our vacation funds
Haha...you caved!! But yay!! Happy anniversary! That's awesome!
We are going in Feb too, I am running the 10K!!! We want to do Garden Grill for breakfast (esp. after reading your review!!!) and Hoop de Doo although I've heard that this isn't currently scheduling 180 days out!!! We are going Feb 22-27!
Yay! Wow the 10k! Awesome! You will love the Garden Grill. I hope to book it again too!
And I've always wanted to do the hoop de doo. I am usually not one for dinner theater, but the food looks really good! I hope you get the ADRs you want!
We were planning on going, but those DVC members snatch up the rooms quickly out there, and there is only one DVC resort, no availability for us.
Oh too bad, yeah I hear the VGC fill up quickly! I hope you get to go one year though!
