Just tell them that you are going to eat wherever you decide and they are gonna like it.

I am mean and would tell them that, then toss them a bag of goldfish crackers, and say enjoy.

My head is going to explode


HOWEVER, our orginal CA Grill ADR is scheduled for Sunday which is AFTER Josh, Joanne and Fred leave. We want them to be able to eat at one Signature Dining Restaurant before they leave......

what about artist's point? bistro de Paris and watch the fireworks? we really liked flying fish, though. hmmm...

Jiko was nice. probably would have been better with awake children....

I've never been to CA Grill, so nothing to compare to.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh no!! I can't belive you have to move everything around. Good luck getting all your ADR's. Good thing is it's in February so there still may be hope!

Thought of you in Target today. My binder somehow got a scuff mark on it! I was debating getting a new one with no scuff marks but then I came to my senses..........I think.

Dude, you got your hands full. CG fills up fast. I tried to get it this week but I was only 70 days out and it was full the entire time! Did Flying Fish last night and it was awesome. It's no CG, but still good. We're doing Narcoossee's tonight then the Bistro de Paris tomorrow. There are lots of good places to eat.


How did they miss your CR ADR? Did you have a number to reference?


Planning these trips is tough. Good luck!

After a few outings my binder is starting to look a little worse for the wear.....hmmm....

My cousin made a few more ADRs, cancelled a few...so I am in full itinerary mode right now.......

How has it been down there this week?

I love Flying Fish, but for some reason, DCH, Derek, would rather eat at CG than FF...

Just so you know, we didn't get CA Grill any of the nights we wanted. So we're SOOL there. We're hanging onto our original CG ADRs for Sunday just in case.

We did manage a Narcoosee's ADR. Will you post a mini-review when you get back tonight. I trust your judgment. Thanks.

About the CR ADR, it simply vanished from the system...We ended up not needing it anyway, but a little scary knowing your ADRs can go the way of the Dodo at any time.

That's why we PTR's, right-for support?

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

It sounds like you have quite a puzzle on your hands.

Planning a trip is so much fun, but sometimes it feels like too much responsibility for everyone else's fun time!

That's exactly right, Miss "I'm leaving work in about 20 minutes and going to WDW".

I hear you sister. My cousin's DH thinks we're nutty. He looks at the itinerary and shakes his head, but in the end, I think he appreciates the work we put in....I think.

I understand about people changing plans. Its annoying isn't it?

When other people want changes, it's annoying.

When I make changes, they are very necessary.

Narcoosee's was awesome! There will be a review from my Oct trip in my trippy. We went there on day 6 so I'll have that up by February. It's good. You'll like it. My suggestion: Surf & Turf.

It's great down here. 83 degrees, clear skies, no wind. It's chilly at night. About 60 or 65. Very pleasant.

My head is going to explode

I don't know why I do this to myself, but I keep tinkering with the itinerary that I've written for our trip in Feb.

As a reminder, I have to juggle 5 different itineraries as all groups are arriving separately and departing at different times on different days.

So yesterday, Wendy and I were discussing ADRs and we brought her DH, Derek into the conversation. We asked the foodie what his preferences were.

He replied, "I really would rather eat at California Grill than Flying Fish Cafe and if Flying Fish is 2 TS credits, then I would rather have 2 TS meals rather than just the one Signature Dining Experience."

Wendy and I.....

We had originally scheduled both CA Grill AND Flying Fish, but now have to cancel Flying Fish.

With me so far?

HOWEVER, our orginal CA Grill ADR is scheduled for Sunday which is AFTER Josh, Joanne and Fred leave. We want them to be able to eat at one Signature Dining Restaurant before they leave......

We are now trying to get an ADR at CA Grill on Friday night (yeah right) which is Josh/Jo/Fred's last night.

HOWEVER, That's when our Coral Reef ADR is.

Oh wait let's just stick with CA Grill for now....

So if CA Grill is not available on Friday, we'll look into Thursday and Wednesday. If CA Grill is not available on any of those days, then we will keep the Sunday ADR for now.

If CA Grill isn't available, then Narcoosee's would be choice 2.

If that isn't available, then we'll stick w/ Flying Fish.

Now....our Coral Reef ADR for Friday wasn't in the system headache: ) so they only time available was 8:10pm which we think we be too late. So IF CA Grill can't be scheduled on Friday, we still want to change this ADR to another restaurant. Our choices right now are GF Cafe, 1900 Park Fare and Kona Cafe. I tried to suggest Ohana....no one in my family seems to interested in this restaurant.

We also have 1 more ADR to make and are going to try for Sci-Fi--Derek's choice since he hasn't been there since 1997. I don't think we're going to get into this restaurant, but we'll keep trying.

Kim and I also have a Signature Dining Meal to schedule, we are looking at either Jiko or Brown Derby or maybe Flying Fish.

Wendy and I were working on this last night for at least an hour. I still don't think we have the options all straight......

wish us luck.....we'll need it........

I had to read this 3x in order to process it. How are you going to keep so many itineraries straight? I hope your doc will prescribe some Xanax. I need it just reading it.

 

[KatGarcia]

I am so with you on the different itineraries! I feel like we have 3 different itineraries as well because of people coming and going. It's challenging at best! I was tempted to change things around for us too because of Fantasmic being closed until feb 1st! I'm still debating! Good luck!

 

[jordanyosh]

Good to hear about Narcoosee's.

Weather's got to beat the weather in Montana right now.

I wonder if you can get the Surf and Turf on the DDP?

I'll be on the lookout for the review.....

I know it really doesn't make sense. I'm still very confused myself

I need some good drugs.

ADR update. I have no idea where we're eating

So as of a few days ago, Wendy and I were in the middle of changing most of our ADRs.

We were/are very confused and still don't know what we were doing really.

Well...here's the latest...put your thinking cap on because it' going to get even more confusing........

We tried to change our CA Grill ADR from Sunday to Friday with our 2nd and 3rd choice being Thursday or Wednesday.

No surprise here. They are booked up. So....for right now, we are keeping our Sunday CA Grill just in case.

So our 2nd choice for a Signature Dining was Narcoosee's at the GF. Well, that was available on Friday. So we booked that and cancelled our ADR for Coral Reef.

On Wednesday, we had nothing scheduled and if you remember, Derek wants to eat at Sci-Fi. Believe it or not, that was available. Booked for 6:45pm.

On Thursday, we currently have Flying Fish Cafe booked, but only want 1 Signature Dining now. We currently have 3 booked--Flying Fish, Narcoosee's and CA Grill. We are holding FF and CA Grill right now, but are looking to cancel FF and CA Grill.

So on Thursday, we will try and re-book Coral Reef. If that's not available, and let's face it, it won't be, we'll try GF Cafe, 1900 Park Fare or something else.

Now on Wednesday, Kim and I will not be joining the rest of our party. We will enjoy a CS meal. On Friday, we will be babysitting. So on Saturday, Kim and I will have our Signature Dining--Jiko probably.

On Saturday, Wendy and Derek have an open TS meal and will try and book Kona Cafe since everyone on the DIS recommends this place.

On Sunday, IF we cancel our ADR for CA Grill, we have an open TS. We're thinking Chefs de France or Tutto Italia......

So are you thoroughly confused, even more than before? So am I....

FYI, I'm going crazy with the Xmas program. Spent all day yesterday working on it. Woke up at 4:30am this morning to work on it some more. Had to cook something for coffee hour. Have rehearsal after church........

Thank God I take Mondays off.
