We need to pre-order our BOG breakfast and lunch this week. Anyone else doing this? We can't decide what we want. Decisions. Decisions.

We placed our lunch order today. DH -braised pork and strawberry cupcake; oldest DD- braised pork and lemon/raspberry cream puff; Me- veg quiche/salad and strawberry cupcake; youngest DD- paying OOP for an order of fries and a masters cupcake.
Does anyone know if I can substitute cupcake for youngest DD in place of one of our drinks??? Is this a substitution that is now allowed? We can get by on 2 drinks as a family since we are always carrying / drinking from our water bottles.

We are today . I've heard the pork is good, but my DH had the beef sandwich last time & loved it, so he's having it again. I had the Croque Madame & while it was ok I think I'll try the pork.

Kids have no choice. They don't like anything on the lunch or dinner menu but grilled cheese & fries. We substitute fries for the gross tomato soup at dinner.

My youngest DD is the same - planning on buying an order of fries and cupcake OOP. She'll enjoy the castle so much she probably won't even focus too much on eating
We are the same as you - looking at turkey sandwich but we loved the pork and quiche so much last year that we are ordering the same thing lol.

We are booking breakfast next week - so exciting!

We did La Nouba in 2013 - it was fantastic! If you haven't seen it before, you are in for a treat. I am hoping to do this again in a future trip.

We did La a Nouba about 5 or 6 years ago. It was really good, but my kids were too young at the time so we are taking them to it this time around. Really excited.

Update, we have to cut our trip back. We are now going to be there 8/3 - 8/8. All my planning is screwed, though and I have to try and fix my ADR's and FP's with a little more than a week to go. Ugghhh....but I guess it is better than not going at all, eh?

I was in my basement looking for an old stuffed animal for DD. Happened to open up a container that had some of my stuff from high school and found an old Disney yellow rain poncho! Still in great condition. Will be bringing it on our trip with us

I have one of those too! Found it a few years back and now I bring it all the time.

Single digit dancing this morning! Only 9 days to go! So glad we decided to add a day to the beginning of our trip a while back. We are just going to stay at the resort, swim, and explore, but it's so nice to be able to be on vacation early.

Arriving on 8/12 staying at WL 5 nights then going over to Poly Villa studio for 2 nights! Soooo excited we love staying at WL and were able to get a great bounce back rate and using Special Chase Visa rate for the last 2 nites at the New Poly Villas! We usually stay at POFQ and love it there but really excited about this trip!!!

A little concerned about pool construction at Poly its going on right in front of bldg. I think we will be in and I hope the monorail is running as that's main reason for staying there! I have called several times to ask about monorail and pool construction but have been told everything is up and running! Those CMs need to start reading these boards!

Just applied to the FB group and in the fun planning and dreaming stages!

Is there a FB group for DISBoard August 2015?

What are the benefits of pre-ordering food?

TIA

I think it just helps you to avoid the kiosk ordering line. You still have to line up to pay. But if your ADR is at 8am, you want to be in and eating your breakfast as quickly as possible in order to ride the rides.

Due to our change in plans, we will be going to MK on an AM EMH day. No shot at getting A&E or 7DMT. How much do you think we can get done in New Fantasy Land before 9AM? Obviously A&E will have to be done at RD. What else can we get done?

Glad you'll be able to do a trip, but sorry that you have to change your plans. I don't have an answer to your question, but recommend that you keep checking for the FPs. Folks will hoard FPs for the popular attractions and drop them when they finalize their plans. Keep the faith!

Just got some Mickey Mail!! (luggage tags and booklet) Being the sap that I am- I started to tear up when I read "See you real soon!" in the booklet.
