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

[jcc0621]

Wooohooo it's such a relief isn't it

How much time will you spend seeing your parents Janet?

Weeeelllllll, I will have to see them everyda so they can get us into the parks Mom I will probably see more than dad, he just doen'st hang out at the parks too much anymore, but mom still does so...we'll see.

What do you think the likelihood (sp?) of both of those is? When I was changing my 2007 hours to the 2008 hours there is a huge difference, fewer EMH's but longer park hours

Was just booking ME and asked the CM there about this who said more P & P dates are going to be announced in April

Excellent times Janet!

Wait a second.... it only take you 2 hours to fly to Orlando???? That's it! I'm moving!

Oh, am I getting a new neighbor..nah probably not you'd have to buy a winter coat. You should just move to Florida

Hey I forgot to tell you guys. A nice gal over on the Dining Boards emailed me this DDP spreadsheet to do a cost comparision. First let me just say this spreadsheet rocked! It calcuted everything - tax & gratuities, DDP v. OOP, DxDP v. OOP, etc. I swear this thing will make your toes curl! Anyway, my thoughts were confirmed, OOP is better for us. So now I can lay all thoughts of the DDP to rest. Whew!

Can you email it to me please

Congrats Janet, getting the airfare booked always makes it official, KWIM!

OK, these are what I am planning on making ADR's for on Saturday (my 180 day)

8/21 1900 PF for dinner
8/22 Plaza for dinner
8/23 Focker fest (thanks JO)
8/24 Puffy French toast with Janet (if LOEMH and P&PP on 8/26) and 50's PT for dinner
8/25 Garden Grill for lunch
8/26 BBB late afternoon and CRT for dinner (if P&PP)
8/27 late breakfast at Cape May and Tusker House dinner for EMH eveing at AK
8/28 H&V Fanstasmic dinner package
8/29 Coral Reef lunch

Still trying to plan for no P&PP or LOEMH


Thoughts ladies?

Looks good. I have 2 non P & P plans going. I am stelaing your idea and making 2 sets of ADR's

I've cut LOEMH from my plans, at the request of Andy. Especially if there's a P&PP. Instead of Sun @ MK, we'll sleep off our Wiener salad hangover and head to Epcot for a late morning.

Mo, she's dumping us for Andy . The nerve

ARGH!!!! I'm too late!

Janet - Congrats on booking your tickets! I just booked ours as well! I found out that I could use one $25 AirTran coupon per person PER FLIGHT. I did some reading on another board and people were saying to book one way flights so you could double up on the coupons. I wanted to try it out before I came here to tell you! I got to use 6 coupons for a total of $150 off our flights! WhoooHooo!!! (I had each one of us sign up with a different email account - that's how I got so many coupons.) Sorry I didn't make it here in time! I hope you still got a good price.

So, I'm really coming now. You guys are stuck with me. I guess I have to figure out some ADRs...I'm so behind!

On the airfare. Doh, didn't even think of signing up Jim and Jimmy for the emails Oh well, I don't care....I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

So, I'm really coming now. You guys are stuck with me. I guess I have to figure out some ADRs... I'm so behind!

Yay!!! I'm so looking forward to meeting you Michelle.

You probably don't want to know that LL and I can fly to Orlando in 1 hour 21 minutes.

I am thinking around 4pm and then dinner at 6pm at CRT. P&PP's start at 7 pm right?

P&PP starts at 7pm. I'm going to try for 3:30 ish and then book the Plaza for 4:30. I'm sure we'll see you there. Also, FYI - the MK BBB appointments go quicker, so book right at 180 days.

Oh, am I getting a new neighbor..nah probably not you'd have to buy a winter coat. You should just move to Florida

Florida's too hot. I need a happy medium

Mo, she's dumping us for Andy . The nerve

Sorry guys, but I'm thinking of my sanity and my hangover.

 

[KatGarcia]

Now you're sounding like Andy. YES, she neeeeeeds to go to Akershaus. It's either there or CRT and I'm not doing that one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So last night I printed off all the Boardwalk area restaurants including FF, Yachtsmans', Cali Grill, Citricios, and Narcoossee's - and this is what we decided........

I've dumped Kona Cafe and LTT for ........


wait for it......

wait......

coming......

almost there....
Narcoossee's and The Plaza!
[/COLOR]

Ok We just had lunch at Akershus and I liked it a whole lot better than I thought i would! I brought some picky eaters with em and they loved it too! And for the record Narcoossee's was one of the best meals I have ever had!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

But we're not on the dining plan, this time.

Ah! That's right!

That was one thing I was going to bring up, as there are loads of us can we say no gifts, pressies etc

Oh I wasn't thinking pressies, I'd go broke. It was more along the lines of handmade things, I have a machine that makes little bags and tags and cute stuff.

Ooooh! Narcoossee's. ::drool:: The menu alone is drool worthy. Excellent choice!

OK, I did it. I pulled the trigger. Paid a little more than I had originally budgeted, but not much more and I am not stressed anymore. I BOOKED OUR FLIGHT

You could always try out Disneyquest on arrival day, Andrew and Jimmy (and even Jim) may enjoy that.

Looks good.
The food at CRT isn't too exciting, if I'd do CRT again it'd be for breakfast.

Janet - Congrats on booking your tickets! I just booked ours as well!

I am thinking around 4pm and then dinner at 6pm at CRT. P&PP's start at 7 pm right?

But you can officially enter the park for P&PP at 4pm.

I don't think Jimmy is big enough to do alot of the things at DQ, but I may check it out. Thanks for the idea

PM me your email addy!

 

[PrincessV]

Okay, lots of catching up to do here, too...

Michelle's definitely coming - HOOO HOOTY!!!!

T's ditching LOEMH - good plan.

Are we in concurrance? I also vote NO PRESSIES! I think Z and I have the hardest time of it.... what can we possibly supply of a Floridian nature that isn't WDW-related? Do you all want bags of citrus from my neighbor's yard?! Truly - and I mean this - the presence of all your company is all the gift for which I wish.


Okay, enough of that sappy carp.

Let's talk food! I'm leaning toward a new plan of attack... since my focus will not be on park touring, maybe I could shift some of it toward good food, for a change of pace? With it down to only leo and me, a little visit to the CA Grill, perhaps? Maybe Narcoosees? An old favorite, Portobello Yacht Club? My ADR window doth draw near... what sayeth thou, my fellow Disneyians? (It might be time for bed when I drift into Shakespearian-esque prose, no?)

Maybe a little something like this?

Day1*: drive, pool time, dinner at CA Grill
Day 2: TL Focker Invasion, rest, dinner at Narcoosees or PYC
Day 3: MK, pool, Biergarten
Day 4: water park or pool, drive home*

*Anyone remember my little Itch? This time it's saying, "Hey V? You could pick up Leo from school at 3pm the day before Day 1 and spend the night at ASSp/ASMu/ASMo, therebby buying another early morning for park touring. Also, the Itch tells me that Day 4 is a Sunday, which means no rush hour traiffic... which means I don't have to hit the road until after an early dinner. In case I wanted soem extra time to catch up on my Fockering.

Really I don't want/need anything I am just very excited to meeting all of you You took my line about oranges so never mind

Seriously, Jimmy is very exited about meeting all the kids and he picked out a litle something for all the kids that was not every expensive.....

Day 1 is what day now, the 21st? If you came in on the 20th you could always stay at POP. Jimmy and Leo at the Hippy Dippy Pool...think they wold have fun, just saying (not that I am scratchin that itch for ya or anything )

You're asking us for help on the food sitchy? You are the food master, well, maybe Michelle's got a leg on ya, wish I could help. Oh, I know, Narcoossee's looks really, really good - combine that with some beach viewing of Wishes with your little guy - what more could a girl want?

Well, I'm not one to enable ..... BUT ..... I say if it itches, scratch it!

 

[DisneyJo]

Was just booking ME and asked the CM there about this who said more P & P dates are going to be announced in April

Why can't they release them now?

And for the record Narcoossee's was one of the best meals I have ever had!

Ooooh good

Oh OK

First time we went Ellie was 7 and a short 7 at that and she could go on most stuff, TBH the only things I bet he'll want to go on would be Jungle Cruise, PotC and Alladin, check the height on those

Are we in concurrance? I also vote NO PRESSIES!

Good And more days hey, you do surprise me

 

[jcc0621]

Why can't they release them now?

Becasue that would make thing easy for us

First time we went Ellie was 7 and a short 7 at that and she could go on most stuff, TBH the only things I bet he'll want to go on would be Jungle Cruise, PotC and Alladin, check the height on those

I am going to read the passporter and see what it says about DQ. Thanks for the tip

Did I hear Passporter???

Check out my favorite page: #262!!!

[jcc0621]

OK I have 2 days and 21 hours before I can make my ADR's......Here is what I have---

1900 Park Fare - Dinner (remember we are going here as Andrew's choice, becasue Cinderella is HOT! )

Sci Fi Dine In - Lunch

Tusker House - Breakfast

Crystal Palace - Breakfast with Mo (Note to self keep track of Jimmy's fingers around Puffy French Toast )

Raglan Road - Dinner

Liberty Tree Tavern - Dinner

ESPN Club - Dinner

Plaza Restaurant - Lunch

Kona - Breakfast.

We also plan on trying to go to Beaches and Cream after TL meet. I was going to make an ADR somewhere else just in case we couldn't get in, but we talked last night and just decided to do an EPCOT Counter Service if we can't get into Beaches & Cream.

Thoughts please

 

[DisneyJo]

Janet I've decided if we can't get in B&C we'll try ESPN as that's a walk up TS too

 

[Disneyolic]

Okay people. Since I have nothing really to contribute to this thread and all this talk is depressing for me I was trying to figure out a way to perk myself up and I finally decided how to do that.

Last year when I started the DISers stalking DISer thread we had over 10 people going down to WDW at around the same time. I made up a separate post with daily itineraries showing who doing what each day. This included which park, any ADRs, special plans (ie Illuminations), and what not. I loved organizing it all and everyone liked it because they were able to print it out before they left and had a nice little reference on who would be where in case any stalking was happening.

So, I would like to do that for all of you, if you'll let me. I know it's way early to start but I'm good at editing etc. So, what do you all think?

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Your ADR list looks good, Janet. If you have to find counter service in Epcot, fish & chips in the UK are at the top of our list. Are you and Mo planning on making your Crystal Palace reservation for the 1st seating time of the day? It's nice to get there early before the park opens!

Hey V!!! What's with all the fancy eatin'? I approve! We may see you at California Grill that night if the girls don't want to do Blue Zoo.

Narcoosee's is a great place! I hope you all have a wonderful time there!

REally wish you you could come. Start playing that lottery and I will do the same here. If I hit for the 30 Million I'll pay for you and the family to come ok?

I would love you to do this. As soon as I make ADR's I will PM you my plans...and my cell phone number so you can "stalk" us all if you want

We are thinking of whatever everyone feels like having and then just parking our butts on a bench somewhere. Jimmy and I love the fish & chips, Jim hates fish of any kind If I can get andrew to anything other than a hot dog on this trip it will be a miracle......Then I was thinking going back to future world and going to sunshine seasons. I think this one we will play by ear

Aw! How sweet are you? I know every one will have a great time. I do wish we could go but oh well. I just hope that when we are able to go that I will have some fellow Fockers going at the same time ...

I'll wait until I get more response about me doing the itineraries but I think everyone will really like it.

DM that is so sweet of you to offer to do this. Are you feeling ok? JK! I would love it if you would do this for us! But I would love it more if you were able to come down.

You sweet suckup! The more you know me the more you'll find out how much I love doing things like that. So, even though just 2 of you gave me the go-ahead, I'm gonna go ahead and start it.

We can do it one of two ways:

1. Make a separate post (probably need more than 1 post) for daily itineraries here and put a link to it from the first page.

or

2. Start a different thread with the itineraries on the first posts. Keep that thread for itinerary changes etc., and keep this thread for the chat, planning, good times, etc.

I like #2 better but what do you all think?
