Hi Michelle

I was finally able to make my ADR for Raglan Road

Woohooo

Well, my boy's finally legit. He reached the 40 inch mark at Soarin' just barely on Friday. Oh and may I add those CROCs are regulation.

Yeah, go Evan

[ Did he love it, you ask??? Errr....nope. He liked the first few seconds and then he looked at me and said "Uh, let's go home, momma - I'm tired of flying around."

After all that


I joined TP's a while ago but think I'm missing something, with the make your own plans I thought I could type in what rides I wanted to do and they'd tell me the order, not so, is there anything like that?

We joke about that but we would definitely go back. We loved it!!!

I am really looking forward to it

No, his first ride wasn't Soarin', it actually was Jumpin' Jellyfish at DCA - which I will add he flippin' loved!
Next was Soarin' which he was measured for 3 times and obviously passed all 3 check points. Did he love it, you ask??? Errr....nope. He liked the first few seconds and then he looked at me and said "Uh, let's go home, momma - I'm tired of flying around."

Al that waiting for him to grow--Doh Well, maybe he will change his mind the next time you go

Ok, so I must have missed Lessa's post about her brother joining her. Did DM update the itineraries? I'm still trying for Donalds on the 21st, but that means I will have to move Akershaus to the 24th, then. : This is so confusing!
How's everyone's plans coming along? I'm working on daily itineraries - not as commando as last year, but I do have "must do's" for every park and a semi-touring plan going on.

I don't ususally do a step by step intinerary, just kind of list the must do's for each park! It works for us, however being with newbie Andrew I may need to change the strategy a bit this year

Well, I'm good. I subbed to UOG's website, but really, with 6 days and the must-dos of TL and Epcot, not much is changing on my end.

I'll definitely use their touring plans, though - they worked wonders for us last year.

DId you just print them up as is?

Well I looked at the menus for Donald's Safari and Chef Mickey's and they both have the standard breakfast buffet offerings. Donald's however seems like it may have some more unique offerings as well. It will also get us into the park early and is $4 cheaper pp so can you guess which one I am going to book?

That is what I was hoping too Jo. I saw mention on another thread of a site called Ridemax.com that is supposed to be able to do this for you. I am not sure if it is worth it though---$18 (I think) for a 90 days subscription.

Completely

Even though we're not going I still measure all my kids. Brookie measures 39 inches without shoes!

Nothing to update ... or, should I say, if anyone has an update I really need a PM. I don't always read every word here ...

I didn't use the website last year, just the book. The book had the basic plans and then "cheat sheets" in the back that were meant to be snipped out - so I snipped them out and put them in the Passporter pocket for that day. We just skipped the things we didn't want to do.

Cool..I am going to check them out!

Janet I love your new ticker

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

YAY for Evan!!
Your baby's all grows up T!

Yes, yes he is!

You are so money, baby!

I love that movie and Vince Vaughn!

I've never used T's former lover, so I don't know how they compare, but the plans really worked well for us. I think a good part of it was always making rope drop, too, though - and they highly recommend that.

Isn't it cool I pilfered it from someone over on TFE (I can't remember who) but if you double click it, it will take you to the site and you can create your own--they have a bunch to choose from

 

[DisneyJo]

Thanks Janet, I already had a look, whats TFE? Or is it TFW?

CE all plans say you should get to rope drop and they're right you can get so much done in that first hour!

We have only ever made one rope drop in my life. This is my goal for this year

I'm around today for awhile. Although Andy is hovering.

 

[puggymom]

I'm here today too!

YEAH EVAN!!!!!

But we need to talk about Soarin, buddy!

Um Janet, one rope drop? You really need to work on that!

Andy, stop hovering

I know, Mo! I was highly disappointed that he didn't love it. I do know he will love BTMRR, since he loves Matterhorn.

Andy, stop hovering

He gave me this look Janet =

 

[DisneyJo]

OMG T I totally read hoovering (what we call vacuuming) and thought you'd trained him well

 

[cmp1111]

Funny, I get that look a lot whilst I DIS. :
