Hi! How are you guys? Have you gotten anything in the mail yet? I am so excited for you! I can't wait to see pictures from MNSSHP!

No, I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet. I read somewhere that they usually send stuff at the 45 day mark, but I've heard people who have booked trips for AFTER me getting stuff. Do you know if it has anything to do with final payment or anything? I had it all paid off and then I upgraded to the DxDP and now am close and my 45 day mark is coming up before the end of July...so I guess we'll see. It makes me sad, I've even checked a couple of times to make sure my address is correct and what not. Oh well!

I can't wait for MNSSHP!! I think I am most excited for that!!

 

[princess_momma]

I don't know if I've put all of my plans in an easy to read, concise place. Sorry!! So here it is:

9/10--Arrive in Orlando in the afternoon
--Parents anniversary dinner at Yachtman's Steakhouse

9/11--Early breakfast at Crystal Palace
--Must-do rides at MK
--Lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern (2nd guessing this one...thinking the food might be a little too heavy for a mid-day meal in the hot, humid, September florida sun and think maybe just a CS might be better...any opinions?)
--Character meetings, shopping, etc. Really want to do Belle's Story Time or whatever its called.
--Dinner at 1900 Park Fare

9/12--Another early morning breakfast at Akershus! (so excited! )
--explore Future World and the Living Seas
--Lunch at the Coral Reef
--explore World Showcase (must do: Pick a Pearl)
--Dinner at the Rose and Crown
--any other exploring before Illuminations!!

9/13--One more super early breakfast at Tusker House
--Do whatever we want at AK, leave whenever
--Lunch is a CS
--Dinner at Artist Point (so so so excited about this...you have no idea how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE buffalo...omg!! they better have it since i've heard of someone going and they haven't....maybe i'll try ostrich...)

9/14--be at rope drop for DHS
--hope that there are NO thrill seekers in the crowd and that everyone heads to TSM while we head to TOT and RNRC
--grab a snack for breakfast, if wanted, whenever
--explore Streets of America
--Lunch at Sci Fi (SO EXCITED)
--take Landon to see Playhouse Disney Live while parents go somewhere
--parents take Landon wherever while I go to the Animation Academy (or whatever its called)
--wonder over to Boardwalk and explore the majesty of that place
--dinner wherever, maybe ESPN Zone but probably Big River Grille

9/15--maybe sleep in about an hour later lol
--a little bit later lunch at Chef Mickey's
--maybe pool time or DTD time
--definitely a round of mini golf
--get ready for MNSSHP
--head over to MK for dinner at Tony's Town Square
--Party the night away for Halloween over a month early!!

9/16--wake up whenever...but early enough for DTD exploring time before we have to go
--lunch at Earl of Sandwich
(would also like to do Pick a Pearl here and compare...I hear its more of a production at Japan...but also hear that Japan's pearls are from Japan and these are from Hawaii? idk really, but would like to do this twice, as it seems FUN!)
--leave



And thats it for my fun plans!! I planned for my family...ok, well mostly me and my son!! My parents can just deal with NOT sleeping in on vacation!! I have such an early bird child...it is no good. Yesterday he went to bed at his regular time (8) and was up at 5 wanting to play!!! But usually he sleeps in a little later...it'll all work out with the time difference

Let me know what you guys think!!

Hey! I'm back and into my photobucket account! It turns out that I had been trying to sign in on that using my info for the Disboards! Silly me!! Anyways, here is the cast!

Okay, here am I:

I'm the one on the right. (And for any of you country fans out there, that's my husband, Rodney Atkins )

Here's my son. He's just over 5 months, and I think this picture is about a month old. I will post more recent pictures once I get them on the computer. He'll look way different when we go to Disney World! He'll be twice his current age! Anyway, here he is:

As for my mom, I don't have any pictures of just her they all have me and Landon or both. So I'll put my favorite picture of her, which has all of us, including Landon when he was just a couple minutes old!

So thats us. I don't think I have any pictures of my dad though...Thats probably bad! He is definitely going with us now, and I probably won't be bringing a friend! More updates later today!

first i wanted to say.. your Son is just to cute for words!! he is adorable!! congrats!! Also i love his name That is also my top pick for a boys name!!! I have baby fever like crazy!!! i love your PTR report so far i am going to go and read more on it now

 

[deslynnpatterson]

aww look at him that is some serious cuteness!!!!!!!!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

So I called Disney Dining starting at 4:55am this morning waiting for them to open! (Thank you time differences! ) JK!! It was fine, especially since I got everything I wanted!!

Here they are:

9/10--Yachtman's Steakhouse 6:00 pm(for parent's 25th anniversary dinner)
9/11--Crystal Palace 8:10 am
Liberty Tree Tavern lunch 11:45 am
1900 Park Fare 7 pm
9/12--Akershus 8:10 am
Coral Reef 11:40 am
Teppen Edo 5:50 pm
9/13--Donald's Safari Breakfast 8 am
Flame Tree Barbeque (no time, counter service)
Artist Point 5:40 pm
9/14--Cape May 8 am
Sci Fi 11:35 am
Big River Grille and Brewing Works (outside company, no ADR's)
9/15--Chef Mickey's 9:30 am
Tony's Town Square 5 pm
9/16--Earl of Sandwich (no time, counter service)


So...there's that!! YAY!!! The only one I am truly reconsidering is Cape May. I am all for Crystal Palace, Akerhus, and Donald's Safari Breakfast because I am SO looking forward to being nearly alone in the parks in the morning...but Cape May is so early and not even in the park and thats my DHS day and I want to be there as early as possible because some of my MUST must-do rides are there!! So...thats why that's the only one I'm reconsidering.

I know most people don't want to get up that early on vacation either for all those character breakfasts, but my son is a pretty early bird!! And there's the time difference anyways, so I'm sure we'd be up at those times anyway, ya know? So why not be meeting characters and all that? I also don't think I'll be feeling "rushed" from ADR to ADR...I would like to get my son out of the hot Florida sun and don't need to do every single thing there is. So yeah! (Sorry I feel like I need to defend my choice for Deluxe since everyone always says how its too much food!!)

Well anyway...

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!

so glad you got all your ADRS!! and you must have called the same day i did too LOL!!! you are going to have to let us know how yacthmans steakhouse it-- i was thinking about trying it-- but decided on narcoossee's for this year. No need to defend yourself for deluex dinning-- we considered it too!! I would love to get it-- but don't want to indulge too much so i am always dieting and obessed with healthy eating LOL the regualar meal plan throws me off as it is-- but you can have so many more choices with deluxe!! and i am sure your little Landon will make for some adorable pictures with the characters at the Character breakfast!!!

 

[Vallie]

hello!!! followed ya over! ur DS is toooooo adorible! you must be so excited for your trip!!

 

[Vallie]

btw your ADRs look awesome!

Hey!! I totally understand baby fever!! lol I want another one like crazy!! I'm glad you like the name, I have loved it for so long!! Its such a great name!! I will definitely let you know how Yachtman's is...I would've gone with Narcoossee's but my parents are much more steak people than seafood so I decided to save that for a later trip for just me. Hopefully I will learn not to indulge...I can see myself just gorging myself with food because I'm on the deluxe plan and don't really have to worry about it then and...well just hope that I can have some self-restraint!! I can't wait for pictures of Landon with characters. He'll probably just stare at them in awe...he's so excited!!

hello!!! followed ya over! ur DS is toooooo adorible! you must be so excited for your trip!!

Hello!! Thanks!! I'm super excited!! I also am thinking that I'm going to steal your idea and start scrapbooking now...because I already have TONS of Disney scrapbooking stuff...Great idea!!

 

[stacikristine]

First of all, that picture is SOOO adorable!! I think your plans sound great! It's awesome that Landon is an early riser, so you can take advantage of all of the great breakfasts! Fun, fun!!!

It'll be nice in WDW so we can do all that stuff...but sometimes its killer at home!! Like when he wakes up BEFORE my alarm or at like 6 when I don't have to get up for work or anything! lol

--Dinner at 1900 Park Fare


9/13--One more super early breakfast at Tusker House
--Do whatever we want at AK, leave whenever
--Lunch is a CS
--Dinner at Artist Point (so so so excited about this...you have no idea how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE buffalo...omg!! they better have it since i've heard of someone going and they haven't....maybe i'll try ostrich...)

I think I would opt for a CS after CP for b'fast, especially with another buffet at 1900 Park Fare that evening. It's way too much food for me to eat.

Tusker House was an awesome breakfast - it's my favorite!

I've had ostrich before; I enjoyed it. I'm curious if it is on the menu - we ate at WCC this past trip; I would have opted for Artist Point if I knew about the ostrich.

Oh - I'm joining in! Hi! DS is adorable!

 

[Lynn5700]

Hi Kimmy! Look at Landon is his hat haha, too cute. He is a doll.

I think your plans sound great. ADRS sound great as well! Can't wait for you to go. Only a couple more months! YAY!

Yeah I think I'm going to go with a CS...I've really been 2nd guessing LTT. I could see how it'd be a nice dinner...but for lunch, I honestly think that a lot of the CS's look better.

I really hope AP has ostrich when I go. I hope they have it for something in an app...because I want a buffalo entree!! I have to cross my fingers, because everything is always "seasonal" and the menu differs and I've heard of some people being able to get both or none...so here's to hoping!

And thanks!! Glad you're here!!

Thanks! I can't wait to put all the silly hats/ears/etc. from the world on him!! The other day I was at the bank and saw this toddler with one of those Goofy hats on...SO cute!

And I know! Only 2 more months and 1 day!! WOOOOOO!

 

[princess_momma]

So I'm definitely cancelling my lunch at LTT...will do a CS instead. (only reason I'm waiting is because my work computer HATES the Disney website and it never fully loads and all that.)

Also...I miscalculated my credits and had one extra one! So I scheduled Whispering Canyon Cafe' on our laid back day before MNSSHP. We have nothing "scheduled" for that day...except I was planning on mini golf. Sounds fun to me...but I think it may be too hard with a baby. I've never seen a mini golf course that can accomodate strollers and I don't really want to play pass the baby the whole time, kwim?

 

[Goldeelox9]

Love you PTR....Can't wait to hear al labout your trip!!! We are going with my niece who will be 21 months old at the end of October.

 

[Lynn5700]

AWW how cute lol!!

Yeah I think doing a CS will be better. That way your not stuffed up. You know what I mean!

Oh that'll be so fun! Its too bad I'll miss you by a month or so! Has your neice ever gone before? I can't wait to watch Landon's different ages at WDW! He will go so much!! I know your wedding was on the cruise (I read all about it ). Do you plan on going on more in the near-ish future! I'm thinking of going on with with Landon when he is 3!

AWW how cute lol!!

Yeah I think doing a CS will be better. That way your not stuffed up. You know what I mean!

I am all for cancelling a few TS's that aren't "must-do's" for some CS's. My parents think they just want to eat big and get steak and all this filling stuff and I'm like "you're going to get sick of that fast..." but what do I know right? lol

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hi Kimmy! Just read through your plans, sounds like you are going to have a fab time!

Landon sure is a cutie!
