A Rumblee in my Tumblee Pre-Trip Report

[wlwilliams9]

I love your vacation skirt!! The jewelry you picked up will look perfect!

I love the puppets you guys made, too cute!!

Yay! The breakfast looked fun! It's so fun when the little ones start to get excited for Disney. Yesterday, Emily was watching video from our trip last year and she said, "I can't wait to go to Disney World, I'm so excited!" I'm even more excited now that she is grasping the excitement!

I think your FINAL PLAN looks great. The only thing I would wonder that might not work well is your 8am Kona breakfast after a late night at MK.

I just convinced my DS not to do Mexico TS (too many bad reviews of that place) on Cinco de Mayo so now I need to decided if we should do another TS meal. I was paying OOP for CP so we could just use the points for that but I think adding another TS would be good too. I just called to pay off the trip today.

LOVE your Narcoosees outfit!

Looks like breakfast was fun!

Can I join you for dessert tonight?

Hi! It would be good not to have to pay OOP - are you by any chance going to DTD? If so T-Rex isnt on the Dining Plan- so that would be a good OOP place.

Thanks- I was wondering about Kona as well. I may try for it on Mothers Day. Because I do really want to go there!! I am excited for Narcoosees. I hope it all comes together like we are planning.
Dessert was REALLY Yummy!! - Nothing like strawberry shortcake with homemade whip cream!

Thank you! It does just make you so excited when you get to share it with your kids. How old is Emily? Myles was 3 1/2 on the last visit and he was really excited, but now that he is 5 he really "gets it"!! Its great!!

Looks like you guys had fun this morning! Is it really 7 weeks away still? Seems like it should be sooner.

I know! My 5 year old was just saying "can't we just go tonight?"

Emily is 2, she'll be 3 in July! Sometimes, I swear she's much older!

That is great that they warmed up to the characters, my DS6 was even a little shy this past Nov w/ Pooh and Co. at Crystal Palace, so you never know... 7 weeks will be here before you know it!

 

[my2disneyboys]

I can't believe we made more changes! Basically we changed Mothers day from Cape May (we did it before and I wanted the extra time at MK instead of the boardwalk) to 1900 Park Fare and we added a quick trip to MK on the day we leave and Whispering Canyon for lunch. - I figure that ticket was going to go to waste and we purchased the deluxe dining so I didnt want our last meal to be a CS!

POFQ - 8 days (Deluxe Dining) - Renting a car.

Day of Arrival Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We arrive at the airport and fly out of Boston arriving at MCO "Mickey's Corporate Office" (I read this on another PTR and thought it was so funny) around 12:30. We will get our rental car and head to POFQ. We have our first ADR at Chef Mickeys for dinner at 6:35pm. After dinner our plan is to hop on the monorail and go over to the POLY, grab a couple of yummy Polynesian drinks, sit on the beach and watch Wishes! - Nice ending to our first day don't ya think??

This brings us to DAY 2:, Wednesday, May 6th 2009 - This is DH's birthday!!

ADR at Crystal Palace at 8:05 AM!!
ADR for lunch at The Plaza at 1:00. and we will then leave the parks and head back to POFQ and try for a nap or maybe some pool time. We will get ready for dinner and head over to the Grand Floridian for DH's birthday dinner - Our ADR is at 6:30 PM at Narcoosees. After dinner, I don't know if we will hang around and watch wishes again from the Grand Floridian or just head back to the room.

Day 3, Thursday, May 7th 2009 (Hollywood Studios)

ADR for Breakfast at Hollywood and Vine at 8:05AM and lunch at Pizza Planet and go back to the hotel after lunch. After spending some time at the pool/hotel, we will hop on the boat and go to DTD. We have an ADR for dinner at 6:30 at Raglan Road. Then we will shop, shop and shop!!

Day 4, Friday, May 8th 2009 (EPCOT)
I am really excited for this day. We will wake up again for another 8:15AM ADR at the Princess Storybook breakfast in Epcot! Lunch ADR at Tutto Italia at 12:30PM and then we will head back to POFQ. After Naps/Pool we plan to go back to Epcot and tour the countries and do Kim Possible! Our dinner ADR is at 5:10PM at Le Cellier. After dinner and touring the countries, (and trying out the many wonderful drinks in Epcot) we will hopefully grab a good spot and watch Illuminations!

Day 5, Saturday, May 9th 2009 (AK)

8:05AM ADR at the Tuskerhouse.
We have an ADR at 1:00 for lunch at Yak and Yetti and an ADR for dinner at 5:30PM at Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Dinner ADR at 5:30PM at Ohana! After Ohana we plan on going back to MK watch Wishes from Main Street and then go on some rides and just enjoy the park at night.

Day 7 - Monday, May 11th 2009 - Magic Kingdom

ADR for Breakfast at Kona Cafe at 8:00AM ADR at 1:00 at Liberty Tavern for lunch and we will stay at the parks today finishing anything we may have missed. We will hopefully be going back to the hotel for a nap and then will get on the boat for our last night tradition. We will take the boat to DTD and shop. We have an ADR for dinner at 6:30PM at TRex (paying oop for this one- DS really wants to go here) and then we will take the boat back and I am sure by now I will be shedding some tears because I know we will have to leave tomorrow.

(Updated)Day 8 - Tuesday, May 12th 2009 - Home
We have an ADR for Breakfast at Ohana at 9:30AM and we will go to MK after for a last walk around- maybe ride our favorite ride and take some pictures! We will take the boat to Whispering Canyon for an ADR for Lunch at 1:00 and then take the boat back to MK and get in the car and head to the airport.

Let me know what you think of the changes. Thanks for reading!!!!

Your plans look great!

I think DH really wants to do T-Rex, but I'm not sure what day we'll be there. I wonder if we'd be able to call in the morning for a evening ADR??

 

[3princesses+aprince]

I missed a couple of posts, so I went back and saw the pics of your disney night. How cute. and your skirt and jewelry are awesome. Oh and the picture of your ds getting his first haricut is precious. Ok, all of you pictures are just great.

I think you probably could. If not, you could always go early, put your name in and walk around DTD. I hear on these boards that it's really easy to share a meal because the portions are so huge. (So for us paying out of pocket hopefully won't be too bad!) However, getting by the build a bear workshop (build a dino) on the way out, is probably going to cost us a little!!

thank you!!! I am having lot's of fun with this report- it really hwlps to pass the time. I think I am going to do a Dining/Trip Review when I get back.

That is great that they warmed up to the characters, my DS6 was even a little shy this past Nov w/ Pooh and Co. at Crystal Palace, so you never know... 7 weeks will be here before you know it!

Yeah- for my boys, I think it all depends on their mood that day!! We happend to be lucky on Sunday because they were both pretty happy! - 7 weeks can't get here fast enough.

Ok, so I wanted to share with you all my very favorite photo from our first family trip. (I tried to find some from our hotel...but I guess we spent very little time there, because I have none)

Can you imagine I let my 9 month old crawl on Main St!? (All for a good photo)

I was just going to look and not comment, but then I saw the CUTEST picture EVER and had to say

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

That was from Arminda and I!

thank you so much! My husband actually took the photo and had the idea. I had thought he was crazy but it did come out great!! We drove across country on our honeymoon and he had us hang our feet in the grand canyon and take a photo of our feet and I was saying "this is going to be a weird picture" and 9 years later it's the only photo displayed in a frame from our honeymoon and everyone LOVES it.

Looks like we both are going to Disney on the Same Day! I am interested to hear what your plans are

 

[my2disneyboys]

49 days!!!!!!! - On our count down calendar at home -"someone" has written some surprise notes under the Mickey heads (Or codes as my Myles likes to call them) Today when we took off the Mickey head we found a code "7 more weeks to Disney" (Thanks to my DH who surprised even me with these cute notes ) Myles thinks that Mickey has written these for us and that it's magic. (Too Cute!!!)

 

[chicagoshannon]

How exciting! But 7 weeks still? Seems like that 7 weeks is just hanging around. Tomorrow will be nice when it's less then 7 weeks.

WOO HOO, 49 days!! We're at 51!

That's sweet that your DH left "codes" on the calendar. Didn't he make fun of you for making the countdown calendar? Sounds like he's loving it as much as you and the boys!!

HA-HA - YES you are right. Good memory!!! I think he just likes to tease me!! He is SO into these boards- he probably read your reply before I did. He is the one that actually does my links on the first page...I couldnt figure it out! Yesterday when I got home from work he said "I have a surprise for you" and it was that he linked my more recent posts for me.

51 more for you - WOO HOO!!
