I missed the party...DARN. And it looked so fun!!! And yummy
Thanks again!I do, I do! I just can't believe how fast it's come! You were so worried that your summer would creep by and feel like an eternity, but see it's going fast (okay, it's easy for me to say ) and you've come up with some really creative ways to make it seem like it's getting here quicker
Yes, we do have aon the way this time. I wasn't sure I believed it after the first two ultrasounds, but now we have been through 5 and they have all said girl, so I even gave away all of the baby boy clothing. Our very busy family with be complete with 2

You ain't kidding about that home stretch. It's stretching in every direction imaginable.
Soon she'll be in your arms instead of on top of your bladder!! 
I'm still not sure...Fantasmic Dining Package:
(Per AllEars, updated recently ~ 6/17/09)
Where do I enter the theater?
There is no longer a separate entrance for Dinner Package guests. You will enter off Sunset Boulevard near Beauty and the Beast. Once inside, you will be directed to the reserved seating area on the right side of the amphitheater.
How early do I have to get to the theater?
You must arrive at least 30 minutes before the show starts. There are enough packages available that the Reserved section gets fairly filled up, so if you want a better seat selection within the reserved section, plan to arrive more than 30 minutes before show time. Even though you still need to arrive early, you do NOT have to wait in line like those without reserved seating - you can just walk straight to the reserved section and sit down.
What if that night's show is cancelled?
According to the policies of the Fantasmic! Dining Experience, if the show is cancelled because of weather your pass is invalid, and you will NOT be issued a new one.
Is it worth doing?
If you dislike waiting in line, or have little ones who can't tolerate the waiting, the Fantasmic! Dining Experience is probably worth it. The reserved seating area affords a fine view of the show, which is very entertaining.
The only problem is...
If we choose Hollywood and Vine, Billy will expect to see the characters, and they aren't there at dinner.
Ed wants to eat at the Brown Derby someday but, sheesh! Two TS credits?? I'm not sure if I want to "spend" that.
Mama Melrose's isn't exactly on our must do list, either....

) We will probably have Counter Service at DTD on our arrival night at Earl of Sandwich.
Kathy - the "holiday surcharge" is NOT just Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years. I don't know if it includes Halloween or not but it did include May 24 through July 12.
As for F!DP, the restaurant selection was the reason we didn't do the plan. Good thing too because it ended up storming and F! was cancelled. I would have been pretty steamed if we'd paid those prices and didn't get the show.
... we usually arrive later in the day so we use only one meal of credits on our arrival day. This gives us an extra table service credit. (Using Fuzzy Disney Math
I definitely wouldn't go to Hollywood and Vine with out the characters. I think that would be really hard for Billy. I know it would be hard for Ethan.
(Knock wood!!)
I know... he thinks we should "wing it" and I keep telling him that during Free Dining, there is no way!
He'll be happy I pushed the issue when he's enjoying his steak at LeCellier, though!

.There is NO WAY I would "wing it" when it comes to the dining, Bill wouldn't be a happy camper without a table service a day.
Our offer still stands to help Ed save seats if Fantastmic is happening when we are both there, we can act so goofy no one will want to sit near us
Your table setting with all of the great stuff from the Disney Store looked awesome!! So summery! ....And it gave me a good idea for our pre-trippie too. I'll cook a dish from a restaurant on our hoped for ADR list and everyone can try to guess where it came from
....The boys have been constantly asking when we're going back to Disney. I think I may need to plan a party just to satisfy them for now.
