Thanks, Karin. I know this plan puts us bopping all over the place rather than playing in the parks a lot.. but that was kinda the point to this trip. I will still want to get in some "must dos" like Soarin, POTC, BTMR... just to name a few. I know we will skip a lot though... like all the movies in WS... probably gonna skip those.

As for the food... I hope they are good choices. Most I have been too... but there were so many new ones I wanted to try. It is so hard because you want to go back to your favorites... but you also want to try new ones and there is only a certain number of meals you have. I am sure I can tweak it a bit more, but for now I am feeling pretty good and ready to make my ADR's

Lunch @ Sunshine Season
Visit/Explore POR

we will be at these two parks on these days too, and trying for Yak and Yeti on the 20th for my birthday dinner, maybe we will run into each other

That would be cool!

As for SS for breakfast... good thing I still have 6 months I can plan cause I already sense the need to tweak that a bit. cause I could probably share a breakfast with someone there judging from what you said.

 

[swwake]

I think your plans look great and I think you'll be surprised - you'll probably still have plenty of time in the parks. You did a nice job of matching the resorts you're visiting to nearby parks. We did some of this last September when we were only there for 7 days and were able to get everything we wanted done in the parks and at the resorts.

I'll be doing some of the same. I know we will visit WL (top of my list), but would also like to get to GF, BC, BWI, AKL and maybe others.

Hi
You plans look great I think you will like Pop's we stayed there in 2009 and I like it.
We have some of the same days.

Sunday Dec 11th will be at MVMCP
Monday Dec 12th at Mk
Friday Dec 16th at Epcot
maybe we might run into each other.

We are still trying to figure it all out, everytime we think we got it right. some comes up that changes it.

Glad to see you got a good deal on your flight.
Hope everything is going good in your world.

Have a magical day tomorrow.
Grace

Tina, I am not sure how your post came in before Karin? It is not near EE.

I think today goes to Karin. Even though it doesn't look right... it is near the entrance to the safari.

I know...how did that happen?? Weird.

And your plans look great..you have lots of good places in there.

 

[tankgirl427]

Ann,

Not to throw you in a panic, but Disney Dining online has up to December 13th up. I don't think you can book unless you log in as a Disney Resort hotel Guest.

Worst case scenerio, you can't book yet. Best case scenerio, you can!

 

[shocky5]

on Airfare purchase! Slowly but surely... getting some of this off of your plate. I know this is a big week for you so you are definitely in my thoughts!

I missed the weekend pic game - my boys both had baseball tournaments so that's where I've been the past several days! One came home with a trophy and the other the home run ball he cranked out over centerfield so it was a successful weekend!

Trip plans look great! Can't believe ADR time is so close or possibly HERE for you!!

We stayed at Pop in September. Even though this will only be 1 night, I really am excited to go back. The guys will most likely get in SUPER late so won't be able to have dinner with us..

It would be cool if we ran into eachother

Regarding the flight... thank you. It had me so on edge. I didnt even realize. Even though I don't have the return yet, I feel much more comfortable making my ADR's next week.

I
And your plans look great..you have lots of good places in there.

Thank you... I have a lot... I almost wonder if we have too much. I know I will be paying oop for several meals. It makes me wonder if all I am going to be doing is eating. Oh well..there would be worse things.

Ann,

Not to throw you in a panic, but Disney Dining online has up to December 13th up. I don't think you can book unless you log in as a Disney Resort hotel Guest.

Worst case scenario, you can't book yet. Best case scenario, you can!

Isn't that odd? I noticed that last night too. It made me think I had my date wrong. Once I logged in and attempted though... couldn't make it. I am set though...ready with all my choices... and a list of 3 times/dates I would like for each. (just in case the first one isn't available)

on Airfare purchase! Slowly but surely... getting some of this off of your plate. I know this is a big week for you so you are definitely in my thoughts!

Thank you!

I missed the weekend pic game - my boys both had baseball tournaments so that's where I've been the past several days! One came home with a trophy and the other the home run ball he cranked out over centerfield so it was a successful weekend!

How cool... busy weekend.. .but I bet the boys were very happy!!!

Trip plans look great! Can't believe ADR time is so close or possibly HERE for you!!

Well, moving up our trip by basically 5 days helped a bit in getting my ADR day here just a bit sooner. One week...

 

[annmarieda]

I am sorry this is so late today. I had to finish my work for the week. I will hope to still be able to post pics while Zoe is in the hospital.. but if I don't I promise I will come back to this game once we are home.

And for today....

OOOPs, maybe I should change that since really we are not in a place...so much as the obvious mode to a place....

Same day same subjects...

 

[momabaarjo]

Zoe and you (I am not sure if I have seen an upclose picutre of you?)....on a bus going to a park?

 

[swwake]

Zoe and you on Goofy's Barnstormer!

 

[annmarieda]

Zoe and you (I am not sure if I have seen an upclose picutre of you?)....on a bus going to a park?

Zoe and you on Goofy's Barnstormer!

Since I posted two pics... I will give both of you a point for the specific. Tammie answered first with the "who"

Now.. for those who don't know where Goofy's Barnstormer is??? A point still for that one is available.

 

[KatMark]

Zoe and Ann on a bus to the Magic Kingdom to ride Goofy's Barnstomer in Mickey's Toontown

 

[Joyciemc]

In the MK, in the area formerly known as Mickey's Toontown!

Since I posted quick to try to get that point, I've edited to add the following:
D'oh- We posted at the same time!

Ann, I've been away for a few days and missed the start of your game- glad I could inspire it! So fun to relive moments of past trips, too!

I will be thinking of Zoe and your family during her surgery.

Sorry, Joyce... point goes to Kathy (congrats Kathy!) Hopefully you can start to play too! And...yes, thank you for the inspiration!

 

[annmarieda]

Girls only 2/2009 trip... Zoe was able to go on a lot of "firsts" This was her first time on this ride. She was a bit apprehensive. She LOVED it. I just wish that it was not such a short ride. I swear... one of my least favorite rides because you wait.. and wait.. Oh, and probably wait some more only to find that it is over so quick.

Since Toon Town is no more... is this ride gone then???

 

[swwake]

I think I read somewhere that they're keeping this ride. Very popular.

 

[tinacaplan]

Nice pictures...this is fun and a great way to see some of your pictures from past trips. Not to mention two direct shots of your face! Why does it seem like there are very few shots of you? That's always a challenge if you're the one taking most of the pictures.
