A June 2011 PTR! (5/31 Top 5 things to do while waiting for Disney!!!)

So I just happened to be talking to DBF about our trip a couple of days ago and he mentioned that he might want to try out for the American Idol show again. Well, last time we did that we missed our lunch ADR so I decided to come up with a plan! :thumbsup2

My first thought was to make a reservation for 50's prime time for dinner, in case we missed the lunch. But then I got to thinking and I decided that I wanted to try Ohana. I showed DBF the menu and some of the pictures of the food from the Dining reviews. Once he saw the wings and "all you can eat" he was sold. :rotfl2: So I told DBF that if we missed lunch we could just do Ohana, and if we didn't miss lunch we could do 50's prime time. Well his response was, "Why can't we do both?" . Well I guess we can!

This plan could go two ways.

1. DBF trys out for American Idol and we somehow end up missing our lunch ADR. We would use a counter service credit for lunch somewhere and then have dinner at Ohana (Reservation is at 8:40). Since we weren't planning on staying in that park the entire night anyways.

2. DBF decides not to try out, or he does try out but we don't miss our lunch ADR. So we still get to eat at 50's Prime Time at 1:00pm, but we are still having dinner at Ohana. This means that we will pay out of pocket for our Boma breakfast since that's the least expensive of our Table service meals, but we will also get to keep a counter service credit that we were going to use and we can put it toward a CS meal that we were going to pay OOP for.

I Hope all of that made sense :laughing: So either way I will now be eating dinner at Ohana! :banana:
 
Well I hope you weren't expecting good news, because i still have not been able to book the dessert party :sad2: HOWEVER, I do have some kind of good news. Disney has now opened up the reservations for all of March, April, and May (I swear they are teasing me). So hopefully that means I won't be waiting too much longer to book, but nevertheless, my battle with the Dessert Party continues! :rolleyes:

I spoke to a CM today that said check back in about ten days for June dates. :cheer2:
 
If they don't open up the booking for the dessert party soon I might change my mind about it. Do you know if you have to pre-pay for that?

Thanks for the info! :) My obsessive compulsiveness will have me checking everyday anyways :rotfl:

Yes you do. You have to pay at the time of booking. As far as I know, the prices right now are $21.99 for adults and $11.99 for children.

:goodvibes *crossing fingers for you!* :goodvibes

Hope you get through because I am curious about this dessert party and want to hear about it from you!
 
Grrr, sorry you still haven't been able to book Wishes yet, hoefully soon!!!!
But congrats on Ohana!!! :cool1: You guys are going to love it. The atmosphere at the Polynesian is wonderful, and I think it'll be a relaxing end to your day, especially if your DBF does try out for AI.

I've heard a lot of good things about Ohana so I can't wait to try it. Plus I've never been in the Poly so I can't wait to check it out.
 
Hi All! I would have updated sooner but life got in the way. On Friday I went to the dentist because my left jaw was in pain. I couldn't open my mouth very wide or bite down. So I found out I had TMJ :scared1: Basically my dentist told me I am probably clenching my teeth a lot when I sleep, which I probably do and my jaw muscle is inflamed. So the entire weekend I was on ibuprofen and muscle relaxers which equaled me being asleep for the last three days :laughing: But today I went and got my nightguard so I won't clench my teeth when I sleep and all is well!

On a happy note, I got my Disney 2011 plannning dvd in the mail today! I LOVE watching the planning dvds so after I get finished with this update it will be me and disney :rotfl:

SIDE NOTE: I was talking to DBF the other day and he told me that the only time we are going to disney again after this trip is if we can stay in the Grand Floridian. Well that won't be happening anytime soon. So then he went on to say that he wouldn't mind going next year if we had the money :rotfl:. So I suggested Christmas 2012! We'll see what happens, I'm starting early ;)
 
Ashley,
The same thing happened to me. I don't have TMJ but I was clenching my teeth so bad when I slept that I need a root canal because I killed my tooth. I didn't even know that was possible, but my jaw is always sore when I wake up in the morning. I just got a night guard too. It seems to be working so far. I can't complain. Next week I go back to get the third part of my root canal. Yay! I hope everything feels better for you now. I love watching the planning video too. It makes me feel like I am there! We are planning a 2012 trip too for our 10 year anniversary. It's going to be without the little ones which will be strange, but I much needed trip for just the two of us. :cool1:

Sorry to hear about the TMJ, probably all the worry over that desser party! LOL Hope you get better with that soon!

Your DBF is suggesting to go back already and you haven't gone yet?!!? Sounds like someone MAY be planning something special while there for that next trip. JUST SUGGESTING. LOL

Yeah my nightguard seems to be helping a lot. I hope your root canal goes well.
Congrats on your 10 year and another trip! It's always nice to have another trip to look forward too. I bet you'll have a lot of fun with just the two of you.

HAHA. I was surprised he suggested is as well. But you never know! He's a tricky one. lol
 
It feels like ages since I have updated. I have been so busy with school and there really hasn't been much happening as far as planning this month(besides stalking Disneyworld.com for the Wishes Dessert Party ;)). BUT, yesterday I came home to find some Disney Mail! It was only my reservation conformation but it's still exciting to see mail from disney :laughing:

I ordered our personalized maps a couple of days ago. I've never done this so I'm excited to see what they look like!

In life news, my laptop is on its last leg at this point. :sad1: Hopefully I will be able to get a new one next month. That will make updating MUCH easier as its kind of a pain to use my computer right now. :sad2:

Lastly, I would like to wish everyone an early HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! :lovestruc :love:

I really like the personalized maps. I never actually use them, but it's fun to order them and use them as keepsakes from the trip. At least that is why I order them.

Sorry school has kept you busy, but think...there is a light at the end of the tunnel (a great Disney trip in June, yay!)

Personalized maps? I now have to look this up. :) Still a newbie!

Good luck on the laptop front! Are you a PC or a MAC? :lmao:

Have a great Valentine's Day!
:love:

Yes! I think this Disney Trip is the only thing keeping me going :laughing: I've seen that you could order the maps before but never did, but I figured why not they're free lol. I do thing they would be nice keepsakes.

When you book your trip, you can make your own maps of each park that lists only your favorite attractions and its free of charge! :thumbsup2

As far as the laptop, I'm definitely a PC, I like HPs but I believe that I'm going to switch to a mac now. I open to anything. lol


And I hope you enjoy your Valentines Day as well! :goodvibes :love:
