ª"˜˜ª¤.¸Team August 2013 Thread! (Part 2)¸.¤ª˜˜"ª&#9733

[Mrs. M. Mouse]

My little QOTD
Should I try to switch my dinner ADR at Garden Grill (CD Chip & Dale) for a dinner ADR at Coral Reef? DD7 LOVES Chip and Dale, however she has developed a love of sea turtles. When I asked her what she was looking forward to at Disney she talked all about seeing sea turtles.
Now - at Garden Grill you will get to see Chip & Dale, at Coral Reef you may not sit close enough to see the sea turtles, or they may swim by while you take a bite. Anyone with Coral Reef experience? And how's the food there anyway?

I've never eaten at either but you can see the sea turtles when you go in the building near living seas with nemo so if that's an option for you?

Also Seaworld (if you can swing it) has a great exhibit with sea turtles too.

We love chip and dale too, though we tend to see them on main street rather than booking a meal with them.

I think I'd keep the Garden Grill. There are plenty of places to observe the sea turtles in the Living Seas pavilion and she might also get to see them in the big tank at the end of the Nemo ride. My favourite animal is also sea turtles! I adore them and got to swim with them in the Caribbean on one of our cruises. One of the best experiences of my life!!!

Just found this thread! Can you please add us for 8/9-14 BWI? It's a surprise trip for DS12 who turns 13 on the 9th. I HATE heat & humidity, and go to WDW 3-4 times a year but never, ever in summer. So this will be a challenge for me! I'll have to read back through to get some tips from all you seasoned August travelers!

We will be at GF from the 17th - 30th August. I'm so excited, i've always wanted to stay there and I'm finally getting the chance
I'll be there with my mum, dad, sister and brother coming all the way from the sunny UK

I'm that excited i did all my ironing yesterday and now have a giant pile of clothes balancing on a dresser waiting to be packed. It's to early to pack, right?

We have booked these meals after many discusions and arguments:

18th - Ohana - 10am
19th - Whispering Canyon - 8:30pm
20th - Rainforest Cafe AK - 5:30pm
21st - Chef Mickeys - 8:30am
22nd - Prime Time - 7:00pm
23rd - Cindellas Royal Table - 7:00pm
24th - Trails End - 7:00pm
25th - Crystal Palace - 7:30pm
26th - Biergarten - 7:30pm
27th - 1900 Park Fayre - 8:30am
28th - Be Our Guest - 8:00pm
29th - Tutto Italia - 1:00pm

Some family members are really fussy with food so i'm quite pleased with the selection that we have got, i'm a bit disappointed that no one else in the family wanted to eat at the Yak and Yeti and all wanted Rainforest cafe

 

[Schmoodle]

Can you add me please? I'll be at the Beach Club Aug 1 - 8 with my DS and DD. Starting to feel close!

Oh I'm so excited to have found this group! Others to obsess with, YAY!!!

This will be our second trip (we were there in 2009 and stayed for a week at the Saratoga in a one-bedroom deluxe villa). It'll be me, DH, DD6, and DD2. We are staying at AofA in a Lion King suite from Aug7-10 and then in a vacation home from Aug10-19 with SIL and her family...don't want to wish the summer away but I can't wait!!!!

Our ADRs (all dinners except CM) and touring schedule is:
7th- Resort/Cape May
8th- MK/1900 Park Fare
9th- Epcot/Via Napoli
10th- DTD somewhere
11th-Universal Islands of Adventure
12th-MK/'Ohana
13th-House
14th- MK/Tomorrowland Dessert Party (hoping to do BOG for lunch)
15th- Epcot/Akershus
16th- DHS/Sci Fi
17th-House/Mickey's BBQ
18th-Beach
19th-depart/Chef Mickey's breakfast

I'm in the park touring mode now, trying to figure out what we'll try to do when it's just the four of us on the AofA days, vs. what to do with SIL and her family. They are not early risers and didn't get to parks early at all on their first trip (we aren't either but when at Disney we are!) so thank goodness we'll have two cars.

Can't wait to read more on here and catch up with all of you! 49 more days for us...WOO HOO!!!

Don't mind a bit & shared the idea for that exact reason -- steal away!!

Never to early to pack LOL! Already started stashing outfits away in a separate (hidden) room.
