Hello!! I have not been around much lately. I have been working a lot to save for the trip. I have some bad news and I am really torn here. I have never been to a Dis meet and this one sounded perfect. I am a recovering alcoholic and there has not been talk from anyone here about drinking "around the World" or anything like that. This sounded like the perfect chance to meet other Disers.
OK- the problem. For all of my kids and myself there is ONE restaurant we "need" to eat at each trip. The one place that without it the trip would have a hole. That place is Chef Mickey's. Well, since I planned this trip so late (usually I plan WAYYYYYYYY in advance [see my sig]), Chef Mickey's has been a problem. There must have been a cancellation because I was able to snag a table for Sunday the 24th. The problem is that it is directly during every nighttime show at WDW- 9:15 p.m. And during the only Fantasmic during our shorter trip. I am really torn. I have tried to keep this trip as inexpensive as possible (for me) and one thing I am sticking to is no park hoppers. I have never been without hoppers, but I am sticking to this. Spectromagic is only happening twice while we are there- the 24th of course, and 23rd. Can't see it the 24th, so must do MK on the 23rd. Then, I am trying to take advantage of EMH since we only have one day at each park. That leaves Epcot on the 24th and DHS on the 25th.
I have been calling Disney every day trying to get a breakfast seating at CM's and have kept up with a thread here for May ADR trades. Nothing. This is very frustrating. I keep telling myself to give it up. I have even talked myself into it if we could eat w/ Mickey someplace else. No ADR's to be had. I have pics at Chef Mickey's from when my DD was little and for me it is where I take pictures of my kids to see how they've grown. (May explain more later about why she has not been as often as her brother and sis- not too personal, just convoluted). Believe it or not, I was at CM's when I found out I was pregnant w/ my son (DR's office called me!!) Anyway, it is special to me. Probably moreso than to my kids.
Sorry for the ramble. Guess I needed to talk to someone that may understand. Any suggestions? I would absolutely love to do the Dis meet with everyone here. Riding BTMRR with a group sounds like so much fun!!! And, I don't want to miss out on night EMH at MK. I am so torn. (OK, already said that
I do want advice or words of wisdom. HELP!!
