10 people, 8 days and 3 rooms, IT WAS WILD!!!! *7/16* pt 3 on pg 20

[meriann]

You have been popping up all over these great trip reports.....

I just checked this nifty priority Seating calculator site I have, and it says her 180 day mark is December 17th



Meriann...Your itenary looks great.

You got a lot of break and relaxtion time in there and you knwo you are goign to get tired of each other near the end of the trip, so you are all set.

I don;t like turkey, but might like if it was fried....

Have to try that sometime

See the kicker is since we are staying at Shades of green I can't do the +10 so I have to call EVERY DAY

I need to check about their ressie's becuse the one I need for the hoopdy would need to be done Dec 24 but I don't know if they will be open for ressies? Does anyone know if they have specific days/hours?

Oh Man....That stinks......

Since Disney World never closes I would imagine ressies would be open....

 

[mrsksomeday]

Great itinerary!!! I will keep my fingers crossed that you get your CRT reservation.

So what do you like about the Sci Fi? I have read so many bad reviews I was afraid to try it. I would love to hear good things from someone about it .

 

[jordanyosh]

how soon do they put out the hours before hand? I have heard taht the crowds on those days are bad. We may do some of the night hours but probably not the AM ones since 10 people and 2 bathrooms makes for CRAZINESS!

Meriann,

They (they being WDW) put out their hours 6 months out. So June hours should come out around the 1st week of January. Of course, they are subject to change. You can also look here at wdwinfo for historical hours and get an idea of what you can expect.

Generally speaking, we avoided any park that was having morning EMH especially later in the day.....

 

[disneygirlinnj]

The first step is admitting you have a problem, so you are one step ahead of the game....


I love them, too.

I see you are leaving on the 2nd....Awesome!!!!

I might have to take lookey at your Pre trippie..

Trip reports are a vicious cycle..

You join one, then make friends with another diser, then notice the link in their sigge, so you join that one and then make more friend, and they have links, goes on and one...

Yes yes... I've already noticed the vicious cycle and LOVE IT! Then i realized that half of the pre trippies I've been reading all go on vacation soon so then they'll turn into real trippies...yayyyyy!!!!!!

Hey Meri....just giving you a friendly bump!

Your 180 day mark is just around the corner!

 

[jordanyosh]

Hey Meriann, I haven't heard from you in awhile...probably busy w/ Xmas.....

 

[Trentmom]

Just stopping in to give you a bump

 

[meriann]

Thanks for the BUMPS guys!!!!!!! yes its that time of year when I am up to my elbows in cards, food you NAME IT! but I mailed the christmas cards today, I wraped the last gifts(excpet for a "special few") and I have to start baking on Monday.

SOOOOOOO now I can concentrate on what is truly important, MY ADRS!!!!! I start calling on tues the 18th. Can you believe I am actully NERVOUS!

I was also thinking we have a free night on our friday there and maybe DH and I will go out just the 2 of us. We have free sitters with Grandma and Grandpa. SOOOOOO what do you all recommend? We will probably go to Pleasure Island afterwards for some dancing but I am open to ANYWHERE!

Sooooooo let me have your best ideas!

Hey meriann

So, glad you are back.


I have never had an evening alone wih my dh at the world, but I hear a lot of people talking about goign to a late dinner at Calfornia Grill and watching Wishes??

What about haing dinner at Ohanas and then afterwards, try and time it so you can sit in the lounge chairs on the beach and watch the Electrical Water Pagent go by...

 

[jordanyosh]

Meriann!!!!!!!

CA Grill, Flying Fish, Jiko, Artist Point are all great choices for a date night.

Pleasure Island is not what it once was. It is definitely hit and miss.

 

[meriann]

I have been reading and I am thinking JIKO. It will be me, Hubby, his brother and SIL. We will be heading there then???? Jordan if you say PI is ??? anywhere else we should try?

 

[jordanyosh]

Our meal at Jiko was really good. They have a new executive chef so it'll be interesting to see if anything has changed.

I'm not discouraging you from going to PI, but experiences lately vary greatly.
I wouldn't want you to get your hopes up and be disappointed.

 

[meriann]

thankfully we will have the unlimited hopper with our stars and stripes tickets so we don't have to pay to get in to any of the clubs ect... so that will be good even if it stinks, but hey as long as we have NO KIDS and a drink I think we will be good

 

[Trentmom]

Look at your ticker!!

6 months to the day

 

[disneygirlinnj]

agreed with whoever said it above... only go to PI if it's free for ya...or just go to Raglan Road like we did twice!

where is raglan rd? I am so lost on the cool stuff. We have a sports bar at the resort so I have a feeling we will be there quite a bit too!

OMG 2 more days and I get to start calling!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wish I could do it on on Tues and be done. The friday ressies have me the most that is where I am going to try for CRT and the Bippity Boppity Boutique for the same day. Dh is going to call for BBB and I am calling for CRT so wish is luck!

Raglan Road is the Irish Pub/Restaurant there and it's yummmy and they have great drinks! There's also an Irish dancer that performs every so often and they usually have a band (at least on the weekends!). No cover either since it's a restaurant! We loved it!

Good luck on the ressies!!!!

I believe that the band is also there on week days. Atleast the band performed during the week when I was there last May.

 

[meriann]
