Congrats on the new job and promotion We too like to make a 2-3 trip a year to WDW. Good for you.... I don't know if RFC is in DDP or not. I've never used it, being that we are DVC members we do not pay extra for our rooms. Wolfgang Puck Cafe and Raglun Road in DTD are good but I don't know if they are on the DDP or not

I did a search on Wave DDP and found a recent thread. It is on the DDP and it is 1 TS. You should go for it! It looks yummy!

Thanks for coming by and for the good wishes!

I will have to check the menus out for RR and WPC too...



And thanks to everyone for all of the great ideas. After I get a few more, and find out if they are part of the DDP of course, I will go back to my family and take a vote...then it's off to make a call to Disney Dining to see what is available!

Keep those ideas coming!

Thanks so much for checking into that! I have to show DH the menu and see if he will go for it because that one looks kinda different on AllEars... he is rather on the picky side...

As for me...I'm all for it!

Self promotion is good for the soul, I believe!

Well... it's been a little while. With my promotion I am working alot of hours and coming home exhausted!


It doesn't help that I can't even get to the Disboards at work, because they placed a web filter on our internet and apparently we aren't allowed to look at message boards anymore...not that I did when I was working of course, but I definitely liked to on my lunch break.

Oh well, moving on...


Today I got a text message from my daughter that said:

DD: It dawned on me today...U are taking me to Disney World! U r the greatest mom in the world and i love u!
Me: Aww i love u2 ur the best!
DD: So are we eating at the Wave?
Me: Not sure yet
DD: We should...it sounds fancy and fun
Me: I will have to call and c if it is available...
DD: k

Sooo....I came home from work and got on the phone. I got a lovely CM. I asked to make sure that the Wave is on the dining plan. She said yes (of course! how could I ever doubt you Allyson?!)

Then I asked her about availability for the date of our arrival for dinner. She gave me a whole bunch of choices! I was pleasantly surprised and I got the exact time I was hoping for!

So we're all set. Day 1 we hit the Wave and I can't wait!

WHOOOO HOOOOOO!

I am excited you are going! It looks really cool and the Podcast had a review and they really loved it! I can't wait to hear all about it! I'm tempted to try it myself. Oh so tempted!

Sorry they are keeping you out at work. That is a bummer. I work from home and I usually have work in one window and the DIS in another. It is a dangerous thing! LOL!

Thanks again for the suggestion! You shouldn't completely rule it out...it might be really wonderful...


And I am so jealous that you get to stay connected all day! I miss the Disboards terribly!

 

[stagemomx3]

Love the text messages!

 

[PISCESANGEL]

Love the text messages!

Thank you, me too - that first one from my DD just made my day!

Okay, so we have transportation figured out. We plan to rent a car the afternoon before and pack it up before our kids get out of school that day. Then we'll probably eat some dinner and get on the road.

The way I figure it, we will be driving all night and arrive very early the next morning. I haven't completely figured out what we want to do when we arrive, but I have a feeling it will involve some McD's and a chair by the pool...

After we are able to check in and get our room we will probably just stay at the hotel and get some rest. That night is our first (free!) DDP dinner, and I am really looking forward to heading to the Contemporary to check out the new restaurant The Wave!

Our second day we are just going to play it by ear... We are still considering whether or not we would like to use a park pass this day, but we are also thinking of going to a water park. This is all dependent on what Angie (my DD16) and JB (my DS9) want to do that day because they would like to look at the pool schedule for the week. If there are any games they are really interested in on day two or day three, they would like to spend that day poolside.

So, talk about compromising the control freak in me, but it's okay because I have blocked off those first two full days as open for change. I've come to realize that if everybody doesn't get enjoyment out of the trip, we're missing the point. So I'm hoping everyone will get to do at least one thing they really wanted to this time around.

Dinner on day 2 is 'Ohana. I can't wait to try the new menu and see if my family still likes this one. I like the idea of the noodles, but I'm really just hoping the bread pudding is still there!!

Dinner on day 3 is Boma. We love us some Boma. Enough said!

On to day four, we are looking at spending the morning at HS and having lunch there. I would really like to get here at opening as we never have made it in time, but I guess we'll see... After lunch, we will probably take a short break and head to Epcot. This night, I can't wait for dinner because we are finally going to try LeCellier... I know that it has changed alot and I have heard mixed reviews of the changes, but I'm still anxious to see it! I'm also putting on my list to look for that grey goose slushie and the schoolbread!!

Day 5 is another off day. We may do a water park or just stay poolside. We may even take my DH on a fishing excursion... As you can see, this is going to be our 'relaxed, take our sweet time, do whatever we want and eat LOTS of yummy food' trip! On one of these off days though I do want to fit in a CS at either Wolfgang Puck's Cafe or Earl of Sandwich, and an evening of shopping in Downtown Disney. Who knows when, but that's okay!
Dinner on day 5 is KONA. Can I just say 'yum!!'

Day 6 is our last full day. We are definitely doing the MK this day and they have EMH that day so I really hope it isn't crazy busy. Again, it will be my goal to get here early enough for the good morning show, but with my family, you never know... This evening's dinner will be at the Crystal Palace, and we are definitely looking forward to this one as well, as this is another one we have never tried!

Day 7 is check out day, and sadly we will be in the car the whole day, only to collapse in our beds at about 3am again. Now...if only I could speed up these next two months just a smidge...

Thank you. It's taken a few trips now to narrow it down to our must-do dinners for this trip!

Your dinners and plans sound wonderful!

Thank you very much.
