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

[Disneyland_Mama]

Well...

I'm booked!

Congrats!

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.

Hmmmm....very little room for stalking - but you know me..... I think I smell changes brewing......

yeah but remember it's Janet you're stalking and we know how good she is at that J/K Janet LY

Sorry Janet!

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!

And by that you mean.... what?

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.

Looking good, Mo!

All claims subject to change several times before Tuesday morning at 7 am.

Uh huh.... So how long is the drive again?

That's what I noticed, the first time I phoned in about 10 minutes the #'s went up by 100!!!!!

Really? Mine only went about about 20 or so.

Alot of us seem to have the same plans. Here is my rough draft that I sent to DM

20th - Arrive around noon with an open evening, possibly AK or MK
21st - AK
22nd - TL/MGM
23rd - EP
24th - MK
25th - departure

Ok - with all you at AK on the 21st, I'm thinking of changing the plan. YES, already!

Jo can you drop my ciount back to 5A 1C. Doesn't look like my friend and her kids are going to make it and if they do she doesn't think her kids would be interested.
Thanks!

What? Ok, I think you need to re-evaluate that relationship, Janet. J/K!

So my ADR window opened Thurs. and I've got...... NUTHIN! That's right - I ahven't reserved a darned thing yet. I'm not too worried; I'm only looking for Turf Club and maybe Olivia's and we may not even keep those.

I...... need..... some..... smelling...... salts!!!!!

Excuse me while I dance...I booked all my ADRs today!

Woohoo! Now post 'em here too.

Very cute

How cute T.

very good

T I'll check out Evan singing when I get home; work blocks YouTube, but I'm sure he's cute.

Awwwww...Give my little buddy a hug for me!! That was cute!!

Thanks, guys. I know I totally felt like Kathy Lee Gifford for a moment, but I thought it was too cute not to share.

So without getting into details, I've had some MAJOR drama here. Not sure Waldo and TE are going to go after all, in fact I prefer them to not go - but that's a whole 'nutha can-o-worms, KWIM?
I had to quit my job - so there goes that extra money, but not a big deal. Sometimes living with your mother is NOT good.

Oh no, hope everything is okay and gets resolved quickly.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

So I think I am going to make a room only reservation tomorrow. I am going to stay value as I am traveling on a budget in August. So my question is which one do you all think I should stay at? I'm thinking Movies or Pop but can't decide which one.

I know the feeling T, I know the feeling.


Ok I saw the video and that was super cute! I didn't even know there was a song for the months.

I liked POP better than Movies.

I'm really sorry, Tracy! I hope it will all blow over quickly with your mom & dad. Sorry about the job, too. Don't worry, it will all work out.

I loved the video! Sooooo cute!


Congrats to everyone on their ADRs & room reservations!!!

Have a great week!
-Michelle

P.S. I did actually make one ADR over the weekend... it's a biggie, so you'll have to wait until my pre-trip to hear about it. (Some of you might be able to guess this one. LOL! I couldn't resist.)

 

[PrincessV]

Hi guys - No time to catch up right now, except to shamelessly plug the video of my precious evil genius boy.

He's such a cutie-patootie! Can't wait to see him again!

Hmmm.... let me think...

Didn't you know that once you sent me your schedule it was set in stone? wiping tears away from eyes ...

I can almost feel for you with my parents living next door. Let me take a stab at it ... did they give you the business for watching your kids all the time?

Gee, there is a surprise

Sorry Janet!

Thanks Michelle.... let me take a wild guess at your ADR - V&A???

And don't I know it well!

Somehow I knew you'd understand.

I can almost feel for you with my parents living next door. Let me take a stab at it ... did they give you the business for watching your kids all the time?

No, in actuality, they only watched them for 4 hours a day. It was actually really stupid, but alot of pent up feelings and frustrations came flying out of my mouth, as usual. Basically Andy & I feel that whilst we both appreciate what they've done for us, in hindsight it's actually keeping us down. It's time for us to move on and get our family straight. Our kids are so spoiled by my parents and they are in need of some major parental intervention, KWIM? And that's hard when you've got grandparents in the background unraveling everything you've been working on.

 

[DisneyJo]

Hi guys - No time to catch up right now, except to shamelessly plug the video of my precious evil genius boy. I've been playing with my new Valentines day gaget. The picture is kinda dark - I don't have the brightest of lights in my bedroom, but the video came out decent, IMO. Have a look.

Evan sings the months of the year.

Awww cutie pie

And by that you mean.... what?

Well it is CE

Really? Mine only went about about 20 or so.

Yep from first ADR to 10th it went up 97 then after I'd booked Biergarten it went up another 47!!!!!

Sorry, T. It has to be a little tough to balance.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Okay well I think I am going to book a room at Pop, the room decor appeals to me more than ASMO. Maybe when I call they will have a code attached to my name and then I might upgrade!

And of course PM me with your resort!

 

[carrieannie]

I wanna goooo!! It sounds like so much fun!!
Whos in charge of the TR when everyones gets home?

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Well I just booked Pop for 8/20-8/25! Room only so I cancel it easily if I have to since the trip is not a 100% sure thing yet. Also booked room only so I could get the 20% off with AAA.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Ok so if you book a resort now and a promotional code on room rates comes out later, can you call and have them apply the code to your already booked ressie or do they you have to do a completely new ressie with that code?

I was checking to see if FL rates were out for August, but they're not.


Oooh! Lessa I forgot all about possibility of a Pin! I so have to remember to ask.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Well since T started this one and it's Jo's trip according to TE since she's the one that we all are scheduling our trips around, then I think Jo probably will.

Just Sayin' Jo

I think you can add the code later on. I was sad to not have a pin.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Lessa, great news on the booking! At least you'll have something should you decide to come down (and you know you will!)

Tracy, I am sorry things are not good with your parents. Pent up statements always seem to find their way out, don't they? And not always at the best time. I hope it smooths over quickly.


Well, I'll be on the phone at 7 am tomorrow making my ADRs and GG ressies. Wish me luck!
