***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

Okay, a trip to Michaels is in my future! Now to find a 30% off coupon...

 

[Mrs. Inc]

I didn't know if it was just mine or if it was all of them that only partially light up... no chain stores here for me to check and I ordered them way before people here were talking about it! These were $9 a piece which I think is like double what you guys are paying at home depot but as I said... school fundraiser lol. I also overpaid for a couple of little mercury glass votives.

I'm just going to bring my one swimsuit with me and we will probably only swim once. Kiddo has tons since he takes swim lessons all year.

Hey...at least you got something you can actually use from a school fundraiser!
I need some retail therapy today after last night!

@JamieOak I found ones just like Lisa F put in the picture at Michaels on Saturday evening. They were $5 each and I used 30% off total purchase coupon for them, so I got three from $11 with tax. They also had snowflake ones that light up that my daughter picked for her and my friends DD. The snowflake ones look like something Elsa from Frozen would wear!!!! My DS picked the Christmas bulbs one. We're not even going to a Christmas party but thought the kids might want to wear them after dark anyway...

Thanks, I have a Michaels in town right near where I have a bunch of stuff to return at other places. I'll add that onto my list of places to stop! There's also a Five Below there I'll probably stop in, but I think I've only seen reports of the big bulbs being there.

You can always print one, or show it on your phone, from their website!

I figured there must be something like that. I can always find a coupon for Hobby Lobby on their website, so I assumed Michael's would be similar. Hopefully I can get there this weekend! As of Saturday, we're only 2 weeks away from our trip!

I know, I am seriously looking to spend some mad money.

Right now I am looking at my BoG preorder. my heart is in the braised pork but I think it will be too heavy as a third meal and I should either get a soup or the tuna nicoise salad, which looks nice and light.

what would you all do? get the braised pork and try to be strong enough to leave half of it or get the tuna nicoise? I am thinking also by the end of my trip something lighter will be good... will have a heavy breakfast and dinner. Was thinking of getting the soup and having whatever is left of kiddo's sandwich but I've ordered it completely plain (no arugula and tomato, no dijon mayo, wondering if i can get that stuff on the side). But the salad looks quite nice and elegant and light. Might end up stealing a few pommes frites from the kid anyway Kids turkey comes on multigrain bread and no way to sub, I am willing to pay twice as much to make my little goober happy

Hi, all. I'm now sick and working on my touring plans as a distraction. We're doing a Tusker House lunch at AK, but I'd been planning for a quick service dinner at Yak & Yeti before River of Lights. However, since I'm highly skeptical of that and ready to move on, I'm thinking a quick service dinner at Restaurantosaurus will be better for us since our plan at the moment ends in Dinoland. Have any of you eaten there or have any feedback on it? It's certainly not as interesting as Yak & Yeti Marketplace, but it looks decent from the menu on the Disney website. I see the kids meals come with a bucket and pail-- is that for them to play in the boneyard???

I do like the look of the small bulbs. Michaels here didn't have them. Will check home Depot next week.

To America you need it today.

Was it the store at John Street you checked? I was going to drop by to check.

Have you thought about ordering the kids braised pork? Maybe you could have that and your son can have the turkey sandwich

 

[Lisa F]

Also could use some advice. I have my coveted LTT ADR (i am ok with menu changes, was going to just have apps and dessert before anyway and that didn't change) for 1pm. last night i picked up a 1:15 festival of fantasy parade package. it was there and i grabbed it. But eesh (no offense @Mrs. Inc ) that menu does not look good to me. Kiddo would have to have plain pasta. But the parade viewing sounds good. It is pricey though and a big meal only 5.5 hours from Sanaa. I'm leaning toward no but having a hard time letting it go. Someone help!

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! Everyone seems to be under the weather these days. I'm feeling something coming down too but I'm still ok. Loading on tea right now.

I see good reviews on Restaurantosaurus but never been there myself. Seems like most of the AK QS stuff is good. Not sure about the bucket and pail...

I did but no way to easily sub for mashed potatoes. sweet potatoes or fries, no regular mashed!

Lots of spots to watch the parade though.... I think @LBlovesM&WDW mentioned it's a really nice view across the Christmas shop since the road becomes narrow there. I'm debating whether I would watch there or by the Country Bears If you don't like the menu, I would not do the package, especially since you're not on the dining plan yet then?

Ahhh... hmm... the question is, would you like a better main or a better side?

 

[Candycane83]

Ok, question for you all who have strollers... Are you going to put lights on them? If so, what type would you put? How would you put them? I can't seem to imagine how it'll look and where to buy these lights!

I would look for led mini lights with a battery pack like made for wreaths and just wrap them around the handles and maybe a second set on the tray part if you can keep it out of the way and operable.

Excellent! I think this will be my lunch break goal! Thanks!!

I am certainly not offended...DD's pick, not mine. The only positive for me is GF pasta. Thinking of just sharing calamari (which is gf) and salad, and DD can have flatbread pizza. Last time we went to MK, we only ate QS...so I'm thinking this is a step up. Breakfast at Sleepy Hallow, BoG lunch, Tony's for dinner--small dinner, and Mickey Pants sundae at 10...that's our plan.

Any plan ending in Mickey Pants Sundae works for me!

Thanks for the hugs....I thought all of Canada would be laughing at this craziness! Love your compassion!

What is a Mickey Pants sundae????
