Good Morning Everyone.

Morning Robin.

 

[disgrits]

Although Paige, in payment for our advice, I think you need to post some more pictures of your new crib.

How is the post move going?

Post move is going fine, except real life gets in the way. I would everything that I normally do (mostly taxiing the kids to various events) to just stop for a week.......

I will post pics when my house is in a little better shape. I have nothing on the walls and half of my stuff is still in the garage (the 12,600 pounds that we moved ourselves)...

I have a question for everyone......(sorry if it is a repeat)

My sister and her family (DH, DD6, DD3) are heading to WDW for the first time (1st trip for each of them) in June. They are going for 6 nights, and are doing the dining plan. She has ADR's at CRT, the character meal with JoJo, et al, at MGM, and supper at Whispering Canyon. So she has two ADR's left and I think she will use one to do Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary. So does anyone have any suggestions for her? Any suggestions would be great--character meal or not, she is open to anything.

Thanks, y'all, and have a great Friday.

What about Ohana?

 

[DISNEYDUET]

I don't have anything constructive to add.....


How 'bout some fluff?????


We went to the zoo on Sunday, first time back since she was about 7 months. It was really great because she got to see a lot of the animals that she knows and says the sounds to. The elephants were particularily great because the trainers were in with them as we passed and they were very vocal and she got to hear the elephants make their sound

This reaction was from seeing giraffes for the first time..

This was her watching some fish..

Zebra and ostrich reaction...

Watching some baby stingrays...

Seeing elephants!!

But her absolute FAVE thing all day was....


running and walking around the zoo LOL!!!

Cass! Thanks for the fluff! I needed it today!

How about 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. It is a character meal and when we were there is June Cinderella and her prince were there, the food is actually very good too.

 

[Verandah Man]

What about Hoop De Do?

That's what I was thinking also, we've seen Hoop-Dee-Doo several times and still enjoy the show........oh, and the food as well..........

 

[Verandah Man]

Also the ice show at the Gaylord is fantastic,my friends go to orlando every xmas and do all the parks the week before xmas and then keep away as too busy. they then go xmas shopping. They went to the Gaylord 2 years ago and the pics looked great.
hope that helps you

We are under a flood watch until Saturday night as we are expecting 2"-4" of rain starting this afternoon. Luckily, I only have about 25 more meters to read after lunch to finish the meter book I started this morning. I'm hoping to have all them read before the rain starts........


I really could use a nap though...........

 

[JLDSMD]

What about Ohana?

I was going to suggest that one too, but wasn't sure it the kids we too young to really enjoy.

I believe that will count as 2 sit-down credits.

Stay dry Andy.

Think if that was snow. At an 11-1 ratio, you'd be looking at 2-4 FEET of snow almost.

That's what our weather lady just said, I'm glad it is warm enough to be all rain!!! Well, it's time to get back on the road, see ya later, gator!!!

Ohana is just 1 credit. You may be rigt about the ages though we took a 4 year old and he LOVED it! All the excitement of the coconut races and the parade around the dining room. He also was in awe of the grills and all the flame action. Me thinks the kid may grow up to me a pyro!

I Ohana the breakfast or the dinner?

I thought the dinner show was 2. Man, if it was 1, I should have done that back over Labor Day when we were on the DDP. I will definitely do it next time if that is the case. Although, Suz and I said we would use the sit downs for shows next time and go for the 2 credit meals. It was hard to find time to sit for a meal in a quick weekend. Plus it is a ton of food.

Happy birthday

Good move...I was going to suggest finding alternatives to water parks. We've been down there at Christmas when it was 35 degrees in the morning and only made it up to 50 - 60 degrees.

2 years ago it was nice enough for t-shirt and jeans but very cool in the evening. It wasn't really that warm for swimming.

Hoping for the 70's.

Both breakfast and dinner at Ohana are a 1 point table service. Are you thinking of the Spirit of Aloha dinner show? That is 2 and is held out at Luau cove. A bit of a waste we think. The food was ok at best. Entertainment was fun but a very short program. Everything felt rushed.

 

[JLDSMD]

Nevermind. I was thinking of "Spirit of Aloha".

That is 2 credits, but the Ohana restaurant is only 1 as is the "Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch".

The breakfast would be a good choice with the kids, but we stayed away from breakfasts (except the one at AK) because it wasn't the biggest bang for the buck. You know me - "it's all about the deal".
