Can you tell I'm excited?!?!?!?! Pre-TR (October 1-15th 2009) The trip has begun!

[torsie24]

90 days today!!!

ADR phone in time in 30 mines! I wish I could do the online but I don't have my US reservations number so I can't!

I'm going to ask for it whilst on the phone though so I can do the last 4 days of my trip online as the days come up!

 

[Sarah84]

Hope you got the ADR'S you wanted

 

[carissanboys]

How did the ADRs turn out?

So Friday was my ADR day.

I phoned up at the start of my lunch hour, which luckily co-incides with it being 7am in FL, but I was a few minutes after that.

Got through with no wait and the girl I spoke to was lovely and very helpful, annoyingly the UK reservtion number we get given doesn't work for ADRs so she had to put me on hold for 5-10 minutes while she tracked down my US reservation number - I didn't mind though as Disney hold is the happiest hold music ever!

Once she came back we were all set to go. I got:

Sci Fi Dine In, Lunch for the 3rd Oct - wanted 12pm got 12.05
(It's an EMH day so we figure we'll get there super early and do everything we can and then leave after lunch unless we have some FPs left to use or something.)

Kona Cafe Dinner for 5th October - wanted 7pm got 7.10 so very happpy again.
We are having our engagement photo shoot at the poly, so we've scheduled this for afterwards, make it a bit of a romantic night.

Boma Breakfast for 10th Oct, got 10.30 exact time I wanted.
This si the morning after our MNSSHP so we fancy a slow start and it'll probably just be an AKL kinda day anyway.

I also called in and got a T-Rex lunch for 8th Oct for 3.30pm as we might be seeing Fantasmic that night so I thought an early dinner might be the best bet, and we can maybe get a goofy snack to take in with us for the wait.

I have a few more to get once the days open up for us:

GF Cafe
Jiko
CP Breakfast

and maybe WCC...I can't decide....

 

[torsie24]

Yaaaaaaaaaay!! Just got 3 more ADRs!!

12.30pm lunch at GF Cafe (I got 12.35) - I asked if I could add on the slipper dessert but my super helpful CM checked and she said you have to ask when you get there? I didn't want to argue but might call back.

Crystal Palace breakfast!! Got 8.05am Woooooooo!!

Jiko Dinner, wanted 8pm, got 8.20 so another great one!!!

Yay!!! My trip seems so real now!!

Grats on your ADRs!

I read that you call the Grand Floridian Bakery @ (407) 824-2578
48 hours in advance of your ADR for the slipper (I hope this info is correct!)

 

[carissanboys]

You got some great ones!

The only ones I haven't done before are Jiko and GF cafe. And I enjoyed all of them! We've done Sci Fi and Boma for breakfast twice.

Our T-Rex meal is still to come in my TR.

Hi Hun

just to let you know when I asked about CRT to add the slipper desert we had to pre order it I think when you go on the restruant board there is the number to call in the cake thread

Can't wait to hear about T-Rex, I love your latest TR installment, it's really making me want to go during F&GF!

Wowsie, Torsie! Those are some awesome ADR's- just the right times, I'd day!

I def. would call back on slipper dessert. I'd always heard they have to be pre-ordered.

Congrats!

Hi Torise,

I have been a bit of lurker on trip reports and the wedding boards and found your PTR and thought I would stop in and say hi!

I too got a little excited and made a PTR also(Fit to Burst!!! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2199122)I actually booked our trip while James was at work, I told him about the deal but I don't think he actually thought I would book it! I got AKL fever and didn't think any other hotels would make the grade.

Love your bags, its making me think I need more! Your cat is so cute with the the laser light!

 

[lacy1101]

Also, an added bonus is that it's exactly Cat sized:

Why she has to get into every open bag, I don't know. But it sure is funny!!

OMG - how did Oliver (my black cat) get to the UK?!? I swear, he looks just like your cat.

Enjoying your PTR so far -and I know I'm just getting started. Sounds like we'll be both in Epcot on the 5th (DD and I are going to pick-a-pearl, too-its our first time!) and at US/IOA on the 7th. Maybe we'll run into each other!

Hi lacy!! Hee, you'll have to post a picture of Oliver.

Eee, how exciting we have some of the same plans! I definitely keep an eye out for you! Are you going to carry LGMHs?

I'll work on the pic, torsie24! I don't seem to already have one on my computer.

I had sent you a PM a few days ago about getting the LGMH that you designed. I'll carry those for sure if you don't mind sharing with me.

No problem. Just got you 2nd PM, check your e-mail in like 5 mins!

OK - I'm going to try those pics:

BTW, I got your email, but I didn't get the attachment. Mind to try again?

 

[All7OfUs]

Hey Torsie!

Great news on your Jiko and Bomas!!! That's fantastic!

How are your other plans coming??

Hi lacy1101!!

You live in South Central KY??? My whole family lives in Bowling Green, and I know the next time I'm around there (next Aug. when I take my son to go to Western in BG), we could get another fun DISmeet together, maybe in Nashville or something. You up for it??

 

[torsie24]

Sorry for the delay everyone! I have recently discovered crochet and I'm making a huge blanket that's keeping my really busy!

So I think perhaps this is a little premature - but I have bought SO much stuff for the trip that on SUnday I got out my big pink suitcase and put all the bits in it that I wont need until the trip, so far I have packed:

- 4 bottles of sun cream (took advantage of all the buy 1 get 1 free offers on at the moment)
- a huge after sun lotion
- 2 little bottles of spf 15 spray lotion for park bags
- blister band aids I got on buy 1 get 1 free
- tea tree face wipes (I take one or two in a zip lock round the parks to wipe my face and then re-apply suncream as my skin gets awful otherwise!)
- small and large zip lock bags (always handy!)
- shower gel and a loofah thingy
- pain killers and IBS medicine
- some disney underwear I got
- eye make up remover pads
- those ace travel size bits you get - mouthwash/baby powder/toothpaste etc.
- aqua shoes for TL/BB
- washing powder tablets
- mini mister fans
- peppermint foot spray and lotion
- one of my park bags

In my carry on bag which is currently also in the case I have

- inflatable travel pillow
- sunglasses
- $11 in singles and a $5 that my mum bought me back from her recent holiday (handy for tipping!)
- fairfx card (currently only got about $400 on)

So as you can see I still have LOADS left to add (mainly clothes!!!! LOL) but this way I can now keep adding to the case whenever I find bits to take or buy new bits.

I also paid off Disney in full yesterday!! Which made me really excited!

AND did our ESTAs so we're no legally granted entry into the USA!

And I got an awesome deal on Universal park tickets with Mears transport to and from our hotel.

Yaaaaaaaay, it's all coming together so nicely!!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

You are so like me - I start packing as soon as I buy stuff! All adds to the excitement! Only problem is I never seem to have much room left for clothes at the end!!!
