86'd From the Poly? No worries-bring us Margarita's & Wiener Salad! A TFW Meet Aug 08

[PrincessV]

Sadly, I think we will have to be removed from the maybe list. Our AP's expire on 8/18 and we don't plan to renew them. We still may visit to pool hop and possibly go to Seaworld but we won't be able to get into Epcot.

Oh no!!!! What about the water park meet on 8/22? I'll be so sad if we miss you!

Anyway we do the same thing. Pick one park per day, take a break and then go back to the same park. I think with the little one's it makes it easier and less confusing, KWIM.

I only buy the FL Seasonal AP becuase it's so much cheaper for us - we rarely hop anymore for the same reason; just easier to stick with one place per day.

Who's Waldo?

You've GOT to check out Disneyland_Mama's TRs! Waldo is her dad and he's freaking hysterical!

Oh no Will you still come to TL on the 22nd?

Then I did the selfish thing...I renewed mine and Michael's and not Tony's....

Who's Waldo?

OMG Heidi you don't know who Waldo is? He is T (Disneylandmama) Dad and is hilarious always getting lost and saying silly things, you must read her TR's

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Who's Waldo?

Uh oh! You did it now!

You must read Tracy's (Disneyland_Mama's) TR's and educate yourself!

Dis-ers, dis-ers, everywhere?? Hey, where's Waldo??

Waldo on Wheels in a World of Rats in Pants & Fruity Booze.

The proper question is not Who's Waldo? It's Where's Waldo?

We've been discussing our long range travel plans and it looks something like this:

May '08: 5-10 nights, probably our last hoo-ra of our PAP's.

Dec '08: 5 nights big family trip.

Feb or May '09: 7 nights in So. CA.

Based on the above, we will need a 5 day base ticket approx $1000 for Dec. To renew our PAP's will be $2200.

All of the above is subject to change depending on our school assignment for next year. A is going to middle school next year and our base school is on the traditional calendar. We will apply for year round, but there is no guarantee. I will also apply to the AG magnet school which is the traditional calendar as well. H&N still have 3 more years of Elem, but will be on the year round calendar. It's enough to make a person .

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It sounds like a good one!!

I'll have to add it to my reading list. Thanks for the links

I edited my name out of the first page. Moderator perk. Anyway, my dh decided it would be to hot Labor Day weekend, hurricane season etc. (what a baby). But he don't do heat well. We rescheduled for Nov. 7-15 or 16. He and my sons figured out the last Nascar race is in Homestead the 16. So, with (adult kids) we still Compromise.

Callie can join us on the first weekend, when we are in Key West and she will fly back home Monday. My oldest dd is going to join us, cause she has an insanely amount of vacation. My 2 ds are going to join us at the end of the week to go to the Nascar race. I'm excited cause I get to to see the Osbourne Lights. I had to pay more for our rooms at AKL and POR, since it is no longer Value Season, but Regular Season, but I still got 40% off.

 

[blue_river]

If you don't like the heat why don't you go in October to the IP-Dip meet???

I'm sure it's going to be a hoot also

I was gonna say that but you beat me to it!

What is the IP-Dip Meet?

I guess we are going in Nov., since it is slow time for my dh and it was a week with 40% off.

It's a good time to go! You'll get to see Festival of the Masters in Downtown Disney the second weekend of your trip. Plus, you might catch the last weekend of the Food & Wine Festival.

Ok fockers, opinions needed......

So Waldo's really not feelin' the Liberty Tree Tavern place for dinner - I'm kinda not either. I think we have too many character meals, which was fine when it was just the 4 of us, but now between Donalds Safari Breakfast, Akershaus and 1900 Pare Fare, I think I'll be too charactered out to enjoy LTT.

Soooooo....

I've tried to think of somewhere else to eat on our P&PP evening. We'll be entering MK around 3pm to get Maddie into BBB and then we'll be needing to eat an early dinner. Of the TS places, LTT and CP are character meals and Tony's is yucko, so what about The Plaza? Seems like a nice lite meal, KWIM? BUT is it any good? Will Waldo like it? The menu seems decent enough. Is the tuna sammie there anything like the magical tuna at CHH? What to do, what to do....

The MK is a hard one eh? Any chance you're willing to leave the MK just for dinner and maybe go to one of the monorail places? Or, what about doing a lunch somewhere else TS and just having counter service for dinner!

Ok - I thought about that. Let's break it down... shall we?
The Poly - Kona (eating there on 8/24) O'Hana - doesn't appeal to me

CR - CM - Character meal, need I say more? Concourse - closed by August. CG - A possibility.

GF - 1900 - eating there on 8/29. Citricos - a possibility Narcoossee's - not with kids. V&A -

So DM, you've given me 2 possibilities... CG and Citricos. I'll have to peruse the menus. BUT have you eaten at the Plaza?

 

[DisneyJo]

Sorry T can't help, but thought I'd reply anyway

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Tracy, I can't keep up...are you guys on the dining plan? If yes, the plaza isn't worth the TS credit in my opinion. If not, then I'd go there. It's good food, it's reasonably priced, and very convenient for your evening plans.

I second the lunch TS idea with CS for dinner.

No, we're not doing the dining plan.

Ok, but where? Perhaps LTT for lunch? I'm not into the Thanksgiving style dinner, KWIM?

My vote is skip the TS altogether! Yes, I'm a broken record on this subject these days. I'm all about the CS - keep finding really good food and I'm so over taking the time for TS ressies that take forever to seat and reconcile payment.

How about getting like a 7 day base ticket non-expiring, that way you can go to the big meet.

If you don't like the heat why don't you go in October to the IP-Dip meet???

I'm sure it's going to be a hoot also

Oh no. This is what I get for not having read the Man Report huh. What's the IP-Dip meet? Is this Buzz's doing?

Ok fockers, opinions needed......

LTT has an awesome lunch if you want to do a TS and it's not a character meal.
I also agree with DM and possibly doing a TS at one of the monorail resorts. No 'Ohana? It's really good.

Now if you take V's advice and this is a P&PP night, just keep in mind that CHH usually tends to close during the parties since it's a candy spot or whatever. So just FYI. I've done the cheap dining vacays and usually end up at Pecos Bills and eat a burger since CHH was closed.
Never eaten at the Plaza.
