We're thinking about doing the Haunted Carriage Ride on the night we go to Artist Point for dinner...have you done it before?

I was really bummed about that HDDR refurb! I was hoping we were finally going to be able to fit it into our plans. Gonna have to wait until next year I guess.

No, I never have. A client of mine has and she loved it so I'm willing to give it a shot. I love Halloween stuff!

Me too I love HDDR and it would've been a fun way to celebrate my birthday. Oh well. I've never been to WCC so I'm looking forward to that too.

Hi guys!

Man oh man has it been busy today. After 3 months of twiddling my thumbs at work, I am NOT prepared for the busy season. At least it makes the day go by faster.

Today is ADR day! I called first thing when I got to work this morning and got everything I wanted! Here's the lineup.

10/1 - Biergarten 7PM - we've both been here & love it!
10/2 - 50s Prime Time Cafe 5:50PM - I've been there, Kris hasn't.
10/3 - Ohana 8PM - been here, we love it! I think Ohana is my favorite in all of WDW.
10/4 - Tusker House 10:05AM - I've been there and Kris hasn't!
10/5 - Crystal Palace 10:20AM - Never been here, looking forward to it!
10/5 - Whispering Canyon Cafre 8PM - Never been here, I can't wait til Kris asks for ketchup!!
10/6 - TREX Cafe 8PM (OOP, gift cards) - Been there, he hasn't!
10/7 - Les Chefs de France 5PM - Never been here, looks yummy!
10/8 - Boma 10:20AM - Never been here, have to try zebra domes!

I think we've got a good mix of new experiences & old favorites.

As you may or may not have noticed, I switched some things around. I decided to go with Tusker House breakfast on our AK day and Boma the day we leave. I figured it'd be a nice farewell to AKL.

Also on my birthday, we'll be dining at WCC for dinner. I wanted something easy & fun that I could go to directly after MK without having to worry about going back to the resort & making myself all fancy schmancy. After dinner that night, we're going to do the haunted carriage ride at Fort Wilderness. I'm looking forward to visiting WL again and taking the boat over to FW from there. If BoG opens, I can easily plug that into the WCC spot (as long as I can get an ADR!). Hopefully it's only 1 TS credit. Otherwise I'd drop Tusker House to come up with the extra dining credit.

Now all we have to do is wait for the MNSSHP & Haunted Carriage ride dates to be released to we can book those! Oh yeah and pay off the trip

I leave for Scotland in 17 days and am in no way prepared. Now that the ADR day is out of the way, I really need to get on top of that. Is there a Scotland for dummies book?

180 days to go!!!!!!!

Very cool that you got all your ADRs- I like your list you've got a lot of yummy places on there!

 

[sophie832]

I wish we had more than one day in the AK area so that we wouldn't have to choose between breakfast at TH (we've never been) or Boma (we love it). We are having a lot of trouble deciding between those two. Looks like you are getting the best of both worlds!

 

[klacey1]

I think WCC will be perfect for a fun birthday dinner, but I'll cross my fingers for you that BOG is open by then!!
Ahh, I love looking at long ADR lists-- it means you have a wonderfully long/full trip to look forward to!

 

[debrapagliasotti]

Yea!! So happy you got all your ADRs!! Makes the trip seem a little bit more real I bet

I can't wait to eat at all of these places!!

I'm the opposite - been to TH, never to Boma. I love TH - the juice is yummy, I think it's the same served at Boma and the characters in their safari gear are so cute!

Will I get picked on a little bit more if they know it's my birthday? I just want Kris to ask for ketchup! He puts ketchup on everything so there's a good chance of it happening.

Yea!! So happy you got all your ADRs!! Makes the trip seem a little bit more real I bet

Thanks! It definitely makes the trip feel a little bit closer. One step down - next up buy MNSSHP tickets!

 

[smile4stamps]

Yeah for getting all your ADR choices!!

I still say BOOO on HDDR going for refurb... What could possibly need refurb?!?!

Especially one that is going to take 2 months!

Sorry Dan! Maybe I'll see you around MK that day

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

Well done on those ADR's!! I agree that you have a good mix of faves and new experiences there. I really hope BOG opens up for us Oct visitors!

 

[Enchanted88]

YAY! I'm glad you got all of your ADRs! I really want to try Biergarten! I've heard nothing but good things about it! It looks like you have a great variety of places you are going to eat at! I can't wait to hear about how they were!

 

[Imagineer5]

Yay for ADRs! They look great! Minus the late CP breakfast hehe. So you didn't have a problem getting the 180+10? I've heard some ppl have had issues lately, though I guess if you called youd be ok. I get to do mine tomorrow!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Great job on the ADR's! I agree with some other posters....Crystal Palace needs to be experienced after walking down an empty Main Street at 8am!

Me too! Fingers crossed! I wonder if they'll release the menu soon?

You should try Biergarten! It's so good! Plus, you get entertainment from the band onstage during your meal. It's a lot of fun!

Nope, no problems. I had a feeling I was going to have issues with the website so I called. While I was on hold, I tried logging into the site and it wouldn't find my reservation number. I've heard a lot of people have been having problems with the ADR site. Good luck!

Thanks! I can't do a super early breakfast. Before work, I usually just have some toast or cereal. Anything more than that makes me feel sick to my stomach. If I have breakfast later in the day, I can handle those mickey waffles no problem.

I can't eat too early in the day either. I usually eat around 9am everyday after I drop Madison off at school. It's just so awesome walking down an empty Main Street first thing in the morning. The CM's are all out and waving to you, the ground is still wet from being washed, the sun is shining on the Castle...just beautiful!

I'll get around to seeing it one of these days! If I ever stay at one of the monorail resorts, especially Contemporary because I can just walk over, I'll definitely do it. I've never even experienced a rope drop there! I'm going to try for it this trip.
