An Ohana Reunion...The Waterless Cruise...

[cruisin'Mike]

Hi all!

Ok..Ohana is reserved but I am still waiting to hear on 1900 Park Faire...they made me leave a message with the restaurant.

Ohana was available for 6:30...I know Wishes isn't until 10PM but hopefully that will work.

I will let you know as soon as possible about 1900 Park Faire.

The last time we did Ohana with a group of about 30 people, we were there for nearly 3 hours. And, surprisingly, the servers were fantastic and didn't rush us at all. We stopped at the gift shop to pick up some wine colers and then just hung out on the beach until Wishes started.

Like Tom said, since we're DVC members, we can pool hop at the Poly. We may pack some bathing suits for the kids that night. Maybe even my Speedo and bling!

Do we have a day picked out for a water park. Just trying to plan our days (and most importantly, our meals). I know we talked about it at one point, but I couldn't find it in the thread.

Thanks!

Sounds like a fun day to me!

Mike I think that we are doing it on Thursday. At least that is what I have planned on.

Hi there,

Thursday is the water park..unfortunately I just got off of the phone with the 1900 CM..he put us at a 4:30 ressie...need plan B..I need to get 3 of us to book 1900 for 10 guests each for that night....I wont cancel our ressie just yet..just in case...

To say I am frustrated is an understatement.

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I need people's thoughts - I do not think enough of us can book 1900 tomorrow...I think it will take a couple of days...the time isn't so bad except that to get from the water park to dinner is the tough part.

What is everyone's thoughts? Even if we book 3 groups - no gty that we will sit together or nea each other..do we want to:

1. Go to the waterpark on Wednesday (and I know this affects people's plans)
and keep the 4:30 at 1900 on Thursday

2. Try and see if in the next couple of days we can get 3 7:00 ressies from people and hope for the best

3 . Cancel 1900 and just do our own thing


Let me know....sorry for the trouble...I guess they just don't like groups

Or if someone else wants to try and book a group for us using their ressie # (they know me know) for &PM...that would be great as well.

Wow where is the Disney Magic???? I would like to be included in the BOMA since I have never been and I think the 1900 first if we can get it. If everyone is going to Ohana for a get together and we can't get 1900 count me in. I am thinking of the water park. Prob not, but I am still deliberating. Let me know what happens with the ressies.

By the way, Stephanie posted on FB that her dad had 5 bypasses and was in recovery.

Prayers for you and your family, Steph . Post an update when you can.

So sorry to hear this news! Sending Steph my best!

Thanks for letting us know June!

Thanks everyone....This has been a horrible couple of weeks. My brother ended up in the hospital for 2 wks (the lung infection thing that they now are telling him *might be cancer*) UGH! He still is too weak to do much but, sit around....

Then my dad calls to tell me *I'm in the hospital and I need to have bypass surgery* Up until that day he had never had a health problem - 70 and he was on no meds at all!....in July he moved from just in the next city (Arlington/30mins away and near where I go several times a week with the kids...) to NINE hours south of us.....for NO reason other then *I like it down there*.
I was finally able to fly down last weekend and I got home yesterday afternoon. My dad can't drive or do anything (lifting nothing heavier then 5lbs....) for at least 4 - 6 more weeks.

Greg REALLY wants to go down and stay with Dad for a week or so and then drive dad up here for me. I told Greg that he has to feel better first so, that I don't have to make an emergency trip down there to help them BOTH!

I like to know what is going on and to be able to formulate a plan....so, this is driving me crazy! LOL!

Oh, and my dad is still insisting on making it to Chicago the last weekend in June for the famiy reunion..... His original plan was to drive up there and back BUT, he won't even be cleared for driving by then (or if he is it will only be within the week of the reunion).

I've appreciated every single prayer -- I KNOW that is the only thing that is helping me through this...

Steph my heart goes out to you. Sometimes family can be a PITA.Everyone has their own agenda and it looks like they all expect you to pull the weight.I know you will feel better if Dad is with you.And Greg needs to heal. I will be thinking of you. Hope it all works out.

Thanks, Arlene. Can you tell it made me feel better to type it all out??

I removed the part, of my post, complaining about my other brother and sister.

Awww, Steph . Just way too much on your plate right now.

I will defiantely say a prayer for you, your Dad and your brother.

We are all thinking of you!!

Sorry, wasn't around last night and didn't see this until a few minutes ago. I was able to make a reservation for 1900 Park Fare for 10 Adults for 8/20 -7:30PM. Hope that helps some.

My thoughts:

1. We wouldn't be able to do Wednesday so if that is what the group decides you would need to take us off the list.

2. So, now we have two tables of 10? 7:25 & 7:30

3. I would be up for that too.

Did you mean call 1900 for a group ressie? I'll give it a shot, but I need the booking info.

I know it's frustrating but it will all work out, Des. Don't worry

 

[allshookup]

Des asked me to try & make a reservation for 1900 on the 20th around 7pm for 10 people (she got 7:10) but when I called Disney Dining I realized I can't call until Tuesday the 19th because my check-in day is the 17th. Duh I forgot they mean exactly 90 days & not like DVC where it just goes by your check-in day. Anybody checking in on or before the 15th that can call today???

I guess she still needs a third person to make a res so we have appx. 30 altogether at 1900.
