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

[Disneyland_Mama]

I tried to call and book last night, but I waited 20 minutes too late and they were closed. So I tried again this morning, and their systems are down. They'll call back.

T, what did you do?

J/K, I know you called dining and I'm doing central reservations...

[/quote]
Actually I called CRO and made my dining ressies thru them.

T, were you not able to get LeC and Akershus at all, or just not when you wanted them? If I can book today, it's also my 180 day mark, just sayin...

No I got them, just not exactly the time I wanted. I got LeCell for 1:30 and wanted 2:00p and I wanted Akershaus for 2pm and got 2:30.

NO!!!! As a fellow former server/hostess/bartender I expect a LOT better service than I've received at WDW the past few years. Which is a big part of the reason I'm not motivated to eat many TS meals anymore. We have fabulous restaurants around home, all with A+ service, and they cost a lot less than WDW. Why bother?

I guess I'm lucky - we've always had decent service. The foods not always been par, but the service was good. In fact, the worse restaurant we ate at, had the best service.

Yay T!!

Yay Me!

ANYWAY... here's what he walked into school singing this morning:

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no...

Now THAT'S funny!

Well...

I'm booked!

But, I'm not totally happy. No laminating just yet...

I had the nice 20% room code, but there are no savannah view rooms for that discount. The whole reason we stay at AKL is for the savannah view - if we do pool view, might as well pick a cheaper (or at least different) resort, KWIM?

So I booked the savannah view full price, but D & I are going to think about it and decide. I don't know if we want the discount more, or if he loves the view and AKL so much that it's worth it. ARRRGH! Decisions!!

So now I have to kind of finalize and tweak my park plans.

Here's what I'm thinking:

Wed. 20th - arrival, hopefully noonish. (Southwest has flights up for this date, and there's a nice price arriving at noon.) Eat at Chef Mickey's (Plaza? - thoughts are welcome) and go to MK.
Thurs. 21st - AK and Boma, or maybe AK then DTD and Raglan?
Fri. 22nd - TL and DHS (I'd skip DHS if it weren't for Star Tours and Power Rangers, but...) Don't know where to eat here. Could just do CS and have two TS another day, but have to figure this out.
Sat. 23rd - Epcot and Fockers!
Sun. 24th - all day MK, CP meal somewhere in there. (Showing evening EMH, do we think they'll change it to LOEMH?)
Mon. 25th - departure day, hopefully evening. Revisit a park in the morning, thinking MK but whatever the boys want most.

I honestly don't know if the boys will be happy without a night at Simba's Cubhouse, but we'll see! Woody's requested CP again, as has D.

Yeah, I don't know. It's the same number of nights as last year's trip and we enjoyed it then - especially D & I once the kids were in bed. We'd have wine and some down time on the balcony. We liked it last year, it's the tantalizing discount that's throwing me off!

I got up and made the call today, only one time I didn't get what I wanted (1900 Park Faire, just a little later than I wanted)

Also, apparently since I am doing a resort switch I shouldn't be able to do all my ADR's today, but I had the best lady making the ADR"s for me and she let me.

She needed the resort confirmation # again and I told oh let me get the other one as I will be at BC now. SHe was like Oh don't tell me that just give me the GF one again.

Ok, so this is what I got

1900 Park Faire dinner
Plaza dinner
50's PTC dinner
Garden Grill lunch
Cape May Cafe breakfast
BBB
CRT dinner
Tusker House dinner
H&V fantasmic dinner package
Coral Reef lunch

I will PM DM later with the details, I'm going back to bed now.

One more thing I noticed how quick the ADR #'s were jumping between my ADR's so lots of folks on the phone this morning making ressies.

Later Fockers!

You've got to love helpful CMs. I've spoken to too many this week that just seemed like they were new on the job.
