AMEN!

[FauntleroyFAN07]

but your plans sound good.

Hi Nicole! What a great surprise for your parents, the reveal video was hilarious.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

for a room to open up for you! Bunkbeds could be fun....

I thought about doing a split stay but I decided it was a lot of hasstle moving our stuff.

Hi David! You are allowed to be as hyped as you want, we are all Disney dorks here.

Lol thanks! I don't think "hyped" is the right word here. You have to remember, Nicole and I have been waiting since even BEFORE April last year for this day! As the great Christopher Walken would say, "I've got a fever! And the only prescription is more Disney!"

Also, to show how obsessed I am with Disney, for my creative writing class, I have to write a play and I'm making it about a dysfunctional family that goes to Disney World!!!! I might post the scenes when I'm finished.

You are too funny....

Sounds like the perfect resort mix -- WL and AKL!

I knew you would approve!

I'm crossing my fingers for you that the standard rooms open up at the WL and yall are able to stay there the whole trip! The WL is gorgeous & I wanted to stay there so bad for our trip in May, but the only thing available for the 4/3 deal for our dates is the courtyard bunk beds, just like for you!

The plans sound great! It stinks yall only get one night at Universal, but hey, that just means more time at Disney!

Thanks for the extra wishes for the standard rooms! Same thing with us for the 4/3 but it turned out to be cheaper if we booked AP so we went that way and luckily as soon as it was available I grabbed the only standard rooms tey were offering! lol

I want to stay at both of those places someday!

Your right, just being there is great!

AMEN!

Understand scott nice to see you around!

This is true, I would probably want to grab an aero bed first but that view would be awesome!

Hi Nicole! What a great surprise for your parents, the reveal video was hilarious.

Thanks for coming along Lessa!

Hi David! You are allowed to be as hyped as you want, we are all Disney dorks here.

Thats why i didn't like switching rooms last august. It wasn't a hassle per se, but it was a slight inconvenience to repack etc

Lol thanks! I don't think "hyped" is the right word here. You have to remember, Nicole and I have been waiting since even BEFORE April last year for this day! As the great Christopher Walken would say, "I've got a fever! And the only prescription is more Disney!"

I think i'll have to proofread those scenes first make sure its appropriate

You are too funny....

Oh, please let it have a MeMom who likes to stay hidden behind things!!!!!

I'll make sure it does!

Just found your pre-trippie and I'm hooked! The video was adorable; I have to figure out a way to surprise my mom, and I love what you did!!

We're doing US and WDW, too! That's exciting you'll be at AKL; we would've loved to stay there this go around, but it wasn't in the budget. Next time, though!

Just subbied; can't wait to read more.

 

[Nicole786]

And I just realized that we'll be down at Disney during the same time!

Oh awesome! Where are you staying??

Thanks for the compliment on the pirate hunt we had a great time planning it! Whatever you do be sure to tape it! I'm headed to your Pre-trip after work today to check it out!

 

[Nicole786]

So I logged on to disneyworld.com today because I had a feeling they would add more rooms today (same feeling I had when they added more room to AKL) my instincts were right!! Now you can book Woods view bunks, courtyard view, and courtyard view bunks!! Unfortunately, courtyard view is about $400 over budget and I don't think I can swing it (although I'm going to run some numbers in my head all day) what stinks is that they're still playing their resort games booking a woods view (no bunks) is totally in my budget considering its only around $10 more per night, but of course they have it available from the 10th-16th -- is it really worth switching to AKL just for the night plus spending more money during our WL stay? David and I think no. I'm just going to have to wait again to see if they offer the Sat-Sun night standard or woods view room. I have a feeling at this rate though, those rooms are going to go fast!!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I'm so facinated at the choices of rooms...courtyard, woods, bunks, poolview etc. At the values you only choose preffered or not. A girl could go crazy trying to figure it out.

Yeah it gets pretty overwhelming! Especially when they charge you a lot more for the views and than only offer them at the discounted rates It gets pretty frustrating!! I'll keep checking though!

 

[KatGarcia]

So on our 90th day out a few weeks ago I was up bright and early with disney dining and I was able to get every restaurant we wanted!! The only exception is the proper time for yak & yeti but i think that because even on EMH, the restaurant closes at 5. I'm really excited to try this new place! Both us and our parents are going to be on the basic dining plan!

May 9th - Mama Della's - this is the best italian restuarant in Orlando! Even ask wdwinfo.com!! I ate here a few years ago while vacationing with my cousins to Disney/Universal its in the Portofino Bay Hotel (a georgeous universal hotel) and if you ever find yourself venturing off disney property or going to Universal for a day or 2, you have to find the time to get over here!

May 10th - Mom and Dad leave for cruise, David and I check into the WL Dinner at Boma Its weird that we have this ADR when we are at the WL not the AKL, but all our restaurants towards the end of the trip are with Mom & Dad and as of right now they like the restaurants we picked. Last time I was here with Dad we had a late ADR and it was awesome! It was the best experience there yet! The food choices were different than every other time we were there, they had this soup, which was the soup from the Seinfeld episode with the soup nazi! There were no buffet lines, and it was so casual, our waitress was awesome!! Im hoping for a repeat experience this trip even though our ADR is early so we can get to Epcot for Illuminations

May 11th - Dinner at Kona Cafe - my second favorite disney restaurant and we both just love it here!!

May 12th - This is our day off, we have dinner this night at Whispering Canyon. My favorite disney restaurant!! Good memories of this place from last trip seeing Declansdad and Pooksma. David asking for a refill and getting this:

May 13th - We have 2 ADRs this day. Paying out of pocket for my favorite breakfast spot Crystal Palace and than dinner at Yak & Yeti that night for AK EMH which we are very excited to try!! I have 2 ADRs right now (I hate to admit) because Im not sure which we should do: We have an 8:05am for a 'before the parks open' experience and than the latest they had which was a 10:30am. We've had the experience before of being there before the park opens and its also kind of stressful when you know you wanna make it to rope drop but the characters haven't been all around etc! We've never had an 8:05 though (the earliest) what is everyones experience with this? Is that enough time or should we stick with the more easy going breakfast at 10:30?

May 14th - Beaches & Cream for lunch out of pocket (love this place!) and this is the day mom & dad come back so we are meeting them for dinner at Chef Mickey's! They have never eaten here for dinner and we had a good experience. Dad loves him some buffets and he likes the character experience at Chef Mickey's so we are looking forward to this one! Fantasmic this night so it is an early ADR (thank goodness!) wish us luck

May 15th - Time for David's favorite disney restaurant tonight, Le Cellier! We all really love Le Cellier it is so good!

May 16th - Our last ADR of the trip right now is Ohana. I've only eaten here once a few years ago and I was with less pickier eaters (my cousins) we had a great time! However, Dad and david are extremely picky so i'm thinking we might switch this to Kona again (a place we all enjoy) or something else remotely close to MK. Anyone eat here with a picky eater?

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

we really like ohana, they have good food, steak, chicken, sausage, and turkey, all good, the sides are also really good, i think they would like along with the interactive things they do during dinner.

Haha I remember that. The waitress for the other table looked into the bucket, and told the kids there it was swamp water.
