YAY!Welcome back, Heather! I hope you had a wonderful trip.
I wish I were in my jammies. I think your "depression" has swung over to me...I'm feeling very blah today!
I'm sorry you are feeling blue, Kathy. It's not a nice feeling, I know. Wish I could cheer you up some how. 
Just make sure you can get the dining reservations you want before you spend the extra $$ for the dining plan and then can't get into any of the places you want.
Of course, we couldn't get into any table service places at the last min., so we walked over to the cantina. There was no one there...we sat along the water watching the lights sparkle in the lagoon, while sipping margaritas and eating tacos...very romantic and cheap! (well, cheap for Disney!)YAY!

Welcome back, Heather--we missed you. Want to hear all about your trip.
Welcome back, Heather!! You've been missed.
Can't wait to hear about your trip!!!
My depression is permanent.
ok...I'm FINALLY caught up!!
Just make sure you can get the dining reservations you want before you spend the extra $$ for the dining plan and then can't get into any of the places you want.
Also for Mexico...the restaurant in the pavillion is romantic, but expensive. You might want to check out the Cantina there though....It is a counter service right along the water...Brian and I ate there on our trip in 2007...My in-laws offered to take the kids back to the room for the night so we could have a few hours to ourselves.
I've got to factor in the $160 for the park tickets too... grr that irks my tater! Narcoossee's could certainly set us back a few. Cantina sounds like a nice little spot to check out the scenery. That's right up our alley. 
Oh definitely. I've priced out a few places and a couple of days are looking pretty expensive!
Okay, now don't hurt me anyone... I never knew that you could eat in a restaurant inside the castle. Yup. It's true. I really think we need to do this girl's trip so ya'll can show me the ropes. Clearly I've missed out over the years...

Yes-sir-eee, mama.
No
Yup....
We were kinda disapionted, but the room was huge and the lady at the front desk seemed excited to give us a "nice" room, so I didn't have the heart to go down to the front desk and see if we could switch (that and the line was a mile long and we were exhausted) We took a nap, and then decided to take showers and get ready for dinner....at which point we discovered that we had an "accessible" room, and if you weren't in a wheelchair, you needed to be under 4'5" to use the shower. We each managed to get out showers and headed out to dinner. Came back from Dinner and watched TV for a bit. When we turned off the TV, we discovered that you could hear the lobby music and the Ding, ding ding from the casino...all night long.
Cockroaches!!!Oh, yes, the Cantina! We used to watch IllumiNations from there - great spot, but you've got to grab a table hours early and then keep eating and drinking so the CM's won't give you the boot. We'd watch IllumiNations and my DS and Dgodson (pre-teens) would kill the masses of roaches! Doesn't matter which park -as soon as the lights go out for a parade or fireworks, out come the roaches. It's why you'll never find moi sitting on a curb or step while watching WISHES or IllumiNations.
Girls trip??? Geesh, hate to say I told ya so, but we all deserve a Girls Trip!
Fortunately, I've never noticed them, and I'm not gonna start looking now!!!I'm not really casino person, but I enjoyed getting a massage and sitting by the pool sipping a fruity drink.Oooh a casino and spa package. Nice! I'm glad you were able to get away and have some down time.
A revolving restaurant? I've really been under a rock. LOL I guess I was all about the rides as a kid.
I'm working on my spreadsheet right now! I want to eat with Mickey!!
Yup....
We booked a spa package online...I reserved a Non-smoking room with a King bed. There was a special requests box, so I put "Anniversary Trip...Quiet location, please."
I went to check in, and the lady at the front desk says..."Oh It's your Anniversary! Let me see what we can do..." I got excited. Our room wasn't ready...she told us to come back in a few hrs.
We come back, get our keys and head to the room. It was a HUGE room... King Size bed, Sitting area with a Sofa and table and 2 chairs, huge closet/dressing area leading to a huge bathroom with a big shower.
We had 2 large picture windows, so we opened our shades to see the view...It was the lobby and casino
Hopefully we'll have a little better luck in Disney.
ITA with those...If you can't get into any of those, try Garden Grill at Epcot..they have Chip, Dale and Mickey...it is usually pretty easy to get into since it doesn't have as many characters. Just be aware that it is a revolving restaurant, so if you have motion issues, it might not be a good choice.
We have always liked Kona Cafe in the Polynesian
and 50's Prime Time cafe in the Studios too.
That is one of my luxuries that I spend money on for myself. (Lush.com) I used my Seanik shampoo bar, Rub Rub Rub shower scrub, 17 Cherry Tree Lane soap and then my Heavanilli massage bar. Mmmmmmm, I smell goooooooood. I better sleep tonight!!
