This morning I called Disney Dining to see if I could tweak a couple of our ADRs. My success rate was one out of two...
First, the good news. You may recall that we are checking in to Kidani Village very late on Friday the 30th and are attending the
MNSSHP on the 31st. Our plans for Halloween are to sleep in, relax at the resort and get to the party early Saturday night. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a yummy buffet breakfast at
Boma.
Our original ressie was made for 9:35... I figured that since we were just going to swim and hang by the pool afterwards that we wouldn't be spending much time getting ready in the morning and it would be a short hop from Kidani to Jambo House; travel time would be a relative non-issue. When I mentioned the ressie to Ed and Tricia, however, they were less than enthused.
"But, I thought we were going to sleep
-in that morning!" was their collective whine. I was also reminded rather pointedly by my 13-year old that her cousin Catie was most definitely
not a "morning person."
(Are there really any 13-year olds that
are??)
Although I dearly love sleeping in on Saturday mornings at home, we are not going to be at home... we're going to be at DISNEY, people!!
Ah well, in the interest of family happiness I requested a later time and we are now going to dine at 10:05... I'm willing to give them an extra half-hour of sleep, but no more!!
So... that issue has been resolved.
I've actually been working on the second desired ADR change for some time now. Billy is fixated on seeing
Fantasmic this year and the showtime is scheduled for a ridiculously early 6:30pm. I'm betting that they will change it to a later time, but I've already told you I'm really not much of a gambler.
Because of this, I had requested an early dinner at the
50's Prime Time Cafe. All they had was an equally ridiculous 3:50 (which technically is considered a late lunch.) I took it, figuring I could call back and change it later.
I've called several times but.....
The only thing they have is after 6:45... much too late if we want to do Fantasmic (and this is the only night I have planned for DHS.) Oh well... we'll just eat early, go on a ride or two, then grab a bunch of snacks to nibble on while waiting for the show.
You can't always get what you want (but, I'll keep trying!)

). It worked like a charm for the whole year.
for you, I can only imagine how stressful this is!
I think that its hard for all kids...but we all know just how much our spectrum kids love changes...
)
...Eric had to talk me down for 10 minutes because my first impulse was to go off on the nurse (really because I was upset-how can I trust her to take care of him if he ever needs to go down there?...if she doesn't even know what the name is?)...which probably wouldn't have been good for everyone...hmmm...yeah... disease...its catching...if you sit next to him...you will find yourself being at a loss in social situations with peers, seeking additional sensory input and becoming really anxious during transitions among many other things...
Nice dance moves by the way! 
I think that might be helping, too.
