Thank you for reading! I will definitely check out your PTR! I would love to meetup with everyone, I'll have to check with our group. Right now we have MGM scheduled for that time, but I have us in EP until 2pm, it would just mean staying a little while longer.

So it has been a little frustrating now that we have decided to do the DDP, I tried to change some of our ADR's. I have been completely unsucessful in this. Chef Mickey's does not have any availability until 8:50pm on the 17th and the 22nd. Very disappointing. I wish I had figured this out earlier and could have made the ADR right at the 90 day mark or 180 as it has been rumored.

Our dining plans look like this:

5/17 - Chef Mickey's(TS) - Late Breakfast
- Columbia Harbor House or Peco's Bills(CS) - Dinner

5/18 -Yak & Yeti - Lunch (CS)
-Boma - Dinner (TS)

5/19 - Akershus Princess Breakfast (TS) - us girls
- Coral Reef (TS) - the guys
- Tangerine Cafe - Dinner (CS)

5/20 - ABC Comissary/Catalina Eddies - lunch (CS)
- Mama Melrose's Fantasmic Pkg - Dinner (TS)

5/21 - 1900 Park Fare - Late Breakfast (TS)
- Sunshine Seasons - Dinner (CS)

5/22 - Crystal Palace - Late Breakfast (TS)
- Cosmic Rays - Dinner (CS)

5/23 - Cape May Cafe Character Breakfast (TS) (Us 5)
- Ohana's (TS) (DMom, DDad, DSisx2)

Still hoping to change at least Chef Mickey's to dinner.

We are officially 30 days away!!!!

I'm so excited. We just celebrated Easter and the kids got a TON of things for Disney! (Thanks Mom!)

The kids got Disney T-shirts, towels, flashlights, cameras, Nalgenes, spritzer fans, coloring books/activity books, wonder color cars and princess books, and so much more! I can officially say we are mostly ready to go. Of course all still needs to be organized and packed, but we shouldn't have to buy anything else.

We also made a few changes to our adr plans, and even added 'Ohana's for dinner. We will either be watching Wishes from 'Ohana's or sitting on the beach of the Polynesian watching it.

Also been using Google Calendar to really plan out what rides we are going to do at each times. I know it's a little excessive, but we are such a large group that I don't want us meandering around aimlessly. Also like to avoid arguments about what we are doing and when, and finally I really want to make sure we get the most done that we possibly can since it will prob be another 6 years before we make it back.

Here are our updated dining plans:
5/17 - CS - Columbia harbor or Pecos Bill
- TS - Teppen Edo's

5/18 - CS - Flame Tree BBQ
- TS - Boma

5/19 - TS - Akershus Princess Storybook Breakfast (us chicas)
- TS - Biergarten (the boys)
- CS - Tangierine Cafe

5/20 - CS - Toy Story Pizza Planet (5 of us)
- CS - Starring Rolls (4)
- TS - Mama Melrose Fantasmic Pkg

5/21 - TS - 1900 Park Faire Breakfast
- CS - Sunshine Seasons

5/22 - TS - Crystal Palace Breakfast
- TS - 'Ohana's Dinner

I will be trying to do Dining Reviews when I get back. Hopefully my picture taking of our food won't be too frowned upon. Although it may get crazy with 3 kids and buffets, but hopefully DSis's won't mind helping out. I'll have to insist on them using my camera or I may never see the pics again.

I'm just hoping and praying the kids will all be healthy!
