Well my family threw me through a loop today. Erich heard me mention Free Dining was going to be starting while we were there and he wanted to know why we didn't just shift the trip so that we would could take part in it. Well I spent the afternoon running numbers and coming up with plans and making ADR's (wouldn't want to change dates if we couldn't get in anywhere good). Well after all that they all decided that we should just stick with the original plan.

IT's funny, but I am glad you are still coming for Fockerfest

Oh I would have still been there for Fockerfest. They wanted to change the dates to 22nd-29th.

We actually considered splitting our stay 19th -24th using the 40% CM discount and then checking ouat and then checking back in the 24th - 29th with free dining, but it still would have cost us more than just the 40% CM discount and paying OOP for food (even without the CM discount on food because it becomes a blackout period for free dining )

Yeah we eventually decided against it because it would have ended up costing more for "free" dining than what we have planned now. The flights would have been more and we would have been paying full price on the room. It was also not worth the hassle of making two separate ressies and having to check back in. It is cheaper for us to just eat counter service and the few ADR's I made.

Ok, so I had a great idea - which Andy states is cruel. I thought that we could drop the kids off at Simba's Clubhouse before our Jiko ADR. Great idea, right?
Nope, Andy says that it's cruel to dump them off whilst we go have a nice dinner. I bet they'd enjoy the Clubhouse better than Jiko. I bet I'd enjoy Jiko better if they were at the Clubhouse!
What do you all think?

Well, it sounds like everyone else has talked you into it, but I can vouch that my guys LOVED Simba's. They still talk about what they did there. I think I'm going to have a problem when they realize I don't have them going this time.

Our plan in to be at AK most of the day

Huh? Aren't we having breakfast at CP that morning? Or are you hopping from breakfast to AK?

Well after all that they all decided that we should just stick with the original plan.

Aww, Lessa.

DOh I meant MK. THis is what happens when you get old and tired

Ack! Dontcha just love when they try to throw a wrench in your plans! I did the math like 50 times and paying OOP is still cheaper for us any way I sliced it, KWIM?

Oh that's right - I completely forgot Buzz and Woody stayed there. Good to know first hand that they loved it! Thanks, CE.

I know, huh. It all worked out for the best though and now I have a bunch of unnecessary ADR's.

Post them on Tanya's Aug/Sept. ADR thread on the Dining Board. This way since you have to give them up, perhaps another DISer could use them, KWIM?

I'll have to do that.

 

[puggymom]

Wow a lot's going on with this thread. I just don't have enough Dis time lately!


So, as for the Wienerfest seating, I'm flexible, but I would like other kids at the table for Kelly. (or with this crowd, an adult that is childish would suffice )

I am stressing over the ADR's for a few nights. UGH, and I can't ask Kelly since she doesn't know about the trip until June 9th.(her b-day)

Speaking of which, I need help coming up with ways to tell her. Any suggestions, my creativity stops with drawing stick figures with a ruler.


Oh, I got another one of those $50 gift card awards, from the witch herself, she feels the pressure, I think she suspects something about the pending transfer...

Anyone else start making a list of outfits by day yet, not saying that I have but, was just wondering

So I was thinking since my current AP runs out at the end of September, I should try for a quick weekend in September as I don't think I will be back to WDW until next fall since I am planning on heading to DL in the spring....

Pesky things like making money tend to get in the way don't they

How old is Kelly again?

WOw you can draw stick figures? I am impressed I can't even draw stick figures

HOw about a birthday scavanger hunt. Clues at each one with the last one being the Birumbaums Kids for Kids Guide?

EDITED FOR ANOTHER IDEA - OR if you want I can have my mom send her a postcard from "Mickey" saying that he can't wait to meet her. She can mail it to your place with her name on it. If you like this one PM me the information.

Her transfer or yours

Anyone else start making a list of outfits by day yet, not saying that I have but, was just wondering

No, not at all...I wold never do something like that..it's way to early to start planning that

I did see some shirts on Disney shopping.com that I am thinking of getting everyone for travel day.

So I was thinking since my current AP runs out at the end of September, I should try for a quick weekend in September as I don't think I will be back to WDW until next fall since I am planning on heading to DL in the spring....

Do it...you have to get as much use out of that AP to make it worth while getting it...Just a little tip from your friendly neighborhood enabler

I think we all have more little boys. I know Maddie, Ellie & Jess are the only girls besides Kelly. Is Kelly still in the "Boys are icky" stage? Maddie JUST started this recently.

Speaking of which, I need help coming up with ways to tell her. Any suggestions, my creativity stops with drawing stick figures with a ruler.

How about something like what Jo sent her girls? Perhaps a cute Disney outfit, (or stuffed toy, or crown, etc.) with a note saying "Can't wait to see you in August!"??

Anyone else start making a list of outfits by day yet, not saying that I have but, was just wondering

OMG! I think you have me beat! Although I did go through my stuff and take inventory for what I need. I just need a cute summer dress for Jiko and new CROCS and then I'm set.

Tired?

Ummm... the last time I checked, Brenna & Jordan were girls. I think Brenna, Jess & Ellie are pretty close to Kelly's age. I'm sure Kelly will fit right in!

 

[puggymom]

UGH!!! Just sat on hold with Dining for quite a while, boy are they busy today! Stinkin' free dining!

I was able to get the 2 changes I wanted though One for the 22nd and one for the 26th, just time changes. I can't decide the time for the 26th though so I am keeping the original one for now, I will cancel it once I decide.


Oh and BTW, Kelly will be 8 and as of now boys are not yucky.


And I am not saying that I have started my day by day outfit list I was just wondering if any one had .... I will say I will be happy to have tha washer and dryer at BCV though to have nice clean clothes in that August heat!

And Holly too!
