Alrighty. I go away for a week and return to find pages and pages of pre-trippie well under way. Is dark red taken?

Um, yes. But I'm willing to share!

I'm sorry, but all I think of when I look at Mike is Doogie Howser, MD....

OMG, me too!

Ok, I'm finally booked too....8/21 to 8/24 at SSR.

Borg, we match! Until the 7 month mark.

Is this color taken yet? It is "slate" gray after all!

S'LATE!!!!!! Were you here (WDW) over the weekend? I never heard back on your planning... I looked for you!

Okay, I'll share my 2 cents' worth on the DDP, etc. when I get back home. I'm still "road-testing".

V!!!!!!!!

How's it going?

 

[Disneyolic]

Welcome back V ... now get back to your TR.

 

[jcc0621]

Welcome back V ... not get back to your TR.

I don't think V is actually back yet. I think she is at WDW until Friday

 

[PrincessV]

Nope, not back yet - I'll get home late Fri. evening.

I can't say much about how it's going without giving away the best TR-fodder... let's jsut say there's been an equal number of ups as downs.

Can't stay - I'm so tired my eyes are closing of their own volition. And not because of the half-pitcher of Spoodles' sangria.

I may get back online tomorrow AM - depends on what Leo and gramma wind up wanting to do. It's our "free" morning!

S'LATE!!!!

How ARE you? Still working like crazy these days???

 

[DisneyJo]

Your best days should be pretty similar. Just make sure you match the day of the week, not the date. KWIM?
What have you got so far? My SIL and BIL loved Narcoosees (sp?). BUT, I do believe you'll be sacraficing 2 TS credits for an entree and dessert only! BLAH!

I'm matching the days And I think the DDP should include the starter at 2TS meals

You can always just trade the TS in for CS and collect the pins instead. Also, I would probably do the specialty shows instead like perhaps the Luau or Mickey's Backyard BBQ rather than hitting a 2TS credit restaurant, KWIM?

I think you can only do the pins thing in the US free dining I'm really not sure about those 2 shows I need to research them more then get the girls opinions!!!!

Jo - the backyard BBQ looks like fun. We heard some of it when we were at the campground last year and it looked like a lot of fun. Afterwards you can head back and go to the campfire movie. That was fun and a relaxing evening!

OK thanks Janet

Actual PTR infor. I was just checking out TGM and noted that I am 65 days from my 180 mark. I really need to start finalizing my ADR choices. Part of the problem is my DNephew. We are giving him an UG as part of his Christmas Gift with instructions to choose one plave he would like to eat. He of course has a deadline to choose Well, I have to see if he he chooses something that not is on our possible list and fit it in to our schedule. Hopefully he will pick something that is already on my list.....

That's sweet you're giving him the choice, I reckon he'll pick Sci Fi, ooooo could we have a competition to see what he chooses

Is this color taken yet? It is "slate" gray after all!

Hi ya S'Late Good to see you, did you get my card?????

Okay, I'll share my 2 cents' worth on the DDP, etc. when I get back home. I'm still "road-testing".

 

[sorul82?]

Hi everyone! I really miss y'all.

V, no we didn't make it last weekend.....no DVC rooms available. I am on the waiting list for 12/29-1/1, but I'm not holding my breath.

Jo, yes I did receive your card; thank you! Sadly, I haven't found my way to the post office yet.

LL, I am still working overtime, but just 4 hours a week. I'm sure I will have more DIS time after Christmas.

 

[jcc0621]

Slate. Am I going to get to meet the infamous slate in August too.

OK, I have a trip related question for my fellow travelers. When we are talking about WP day on Friday the 22nd, which one? BB or TL? Sitting here at work and am trying to tweak the schedule a bit

 

[DisneyJo]

Hi everyone! I really miss y'all.

You too S'Late

Jo, yes I did receive your card; thank you! Sadly, I haven't found my way to the post office yet.

That's OK, don't worry I felt guilty that for the life of me I could not remember the names of your DH or kids

LL, I am still working overtime, but just 4 hours a week. I'm sure I will have more DIS time after Christmas.

Yes S'Late are you able to come in August too?

Well our favourite is BB but we'll go along with whatever, thing with us is we won't go and just sit by the pool there are rides to ride you know


I still haven't heard from the invitation lady and I need to have it all wrapped by Saturday so I'm just going to do it myself, does anyone know though how to get a pattern on the main piece of paper so that you can then put images on top? Does that make sense?

Doesn't make sense to me? Are you trying to wrap something? I'm pretty good with stuff like that. But I need more of an explanation ...

 

[cmp1111]

I was thinking she meant - and correct me, of course, if I'm wrong, Jo - that she wanted to print out an invitation, but on a patterned paper, but she needed to figure out how to get the layers on the paper.

I have a Hallmark card program that would let me do that, but I'm not sure about anything else. I THINK in Word there's a way to get a watermark or image as a "background" but I wasn't sure enough to try to help.

 

[jcc0621]

I have tweaked the schedule a bit. Shocking, yes I know

I realized I didn't have a studios day planned and with my nephew coming we can't really pass it up, he is dying to do ToT and RNRC. However, I will only have 1 EPCOT day now, the DAY...you all know which one I mean and becasue of this Garden Grill knocked off the ADR list. So I need some advice. Jimmy LOVES Chip & Dale. I thought I read somewhere that they are at Liberty Tree Tavern. Does anyone know if this correct. If it is, I don't feel so bad losing Garden Grill then.

ANyway here is the new schedule (For this week anyway

Tues 8/19/08 - Fly In. Check in at POP. Pool and explore hotel day

Wed 8/20/08 - DHS. (Fantasmic Dinner Package. Either H&V or Mama Melrose's - I will take votes on this one)

Thurs 8/21/08 - Animal Kingdom

Fri 8/22/08 - WP Dis Meet

Sat 8/23/08 - Epcot. Dis Meet. (Beirgarten [is this still the place?]

Sun 8/24/08 - MK LOEMH

Mon 8/25/08 - No Park (late Breakfast at Kona)

Tues 8/26/07 - MK (Hopefully P& P Party) (Liberty Tree Tavern)

Wed 8/27/08 - No Park (DTD) (Raglan Road- waiting on V and HSM reviews)

Thursday 8/28/07 - MK (We always spend our last day at MK) (Crystal Palace)

Friday 8/29/07 - Departure Day

I also have a question about Crystal Palace. We have always done the breakfast, but I am thinking about doing a laterish lunch,earlish dinner here. Has anyone done lunch or dinner. How is the food?

Janet,
We really like the food at CP. We ate at Chef Mickey's this past visit and found the buffet to be small in comparison. CP has a wide variety of food, and it's all decent for buffet eating.

And the dessert bar is huge

 

[DisneyJo]

I was thinking she meant - and correct me, of course, if I'm wrong, Jo - that she wanted to print out an invitation, but on a patterned paper, but she needed to figure out how to get the layers on the paper.

Yep CE that's what I meant, DM as CE said I want to put a pattern on the paper and then add images and writing on top

So I need some advice. Jimmy LOVES Chip & Dale. I thought I read somewhere that they are at Liberty Tree Tavern. Does anyone know if this correct. If it is, I don't feel so bad losing Garden Grill then.

I just read some reviews on allears and they all said Chip and Dale were there

CP we've eaten both lunch and Dinner and the food was really nice, look on allearsnet for the menus

We really enjoyed our lunch there!

I think I also read that C&D were at LTT. Check allears.

We've done lunch and dinner. Personally I preferred the lunch. It was a perfect way to get out of the afternoon heat and enjoy a nice lunch.

Slate. Am I going to get to meet the infamous slate in August too.

Yeah, S'late - any chance of the Loud Family coming down?

OK, I have a trip related question for my fellow travelers. When we are talking about WP day on Friday the 22nd, which one? BB or TL? Sitting here at work and am trying to tweak the schedule a bit

I've never been to either, but I think V said TL had a better kiddie area. Since most of our little ones are under 6 - perhaps that might be a better park? I know Jo's girls are older, so I don't know how'd they feel about that? What do you think, Jo?

We've been to Crystal Palace 3 times for lunch now and we LOVE it. My favourite has to be the salmon and jasmine rice. They have a very nice meat carving station and tons of food. The whiskey-soaked chocolate cake was to die for. I have a picture of that if you want to see it. This place will definitely be on our list next time.

Yep CE that's what I meant, DM as CE said I want to put a pattern on the paper and then add images and writing on top

So you want to do it all at once? You can try to do it separately, either make the pattern first and then make the images 2nd and rerun the paper through the printer again. Or you can do 2 separate papers, one being smaller and glue it on top of the patterned piece.

They wouldn't mind, I was thinking though that the wave pool there is really strong, we need V's opinion as she went in one of her TR's!

Hadn't thought of that, I'm PMing you with what I've found
