DDA Chapter 20

So, I could use some restaurant advice...I need something new for Epcot or the surrounding area. We've done Mexico, Rose and Crown, Garden Grill and Coral Reef. I think this is one of the best place to work in a new restaurant, probably for dinner. So, what are our best choices, non-signature, for me and Terra?

We are trying Chefs de France for the first time. Remy is appearing there, http://www.disunplugged.com/2009/05/04/remy-from-ratatouille-comes-to-chefs-de-france-in-epcot/ , but only until September, so I guess that doesn't help you any. Still, I've heard good things about Chefs. How about Teppan Edo? It's fun for the kids to watch.

Good morning.

It shuts off for no reason. Just POOF, and it's off. The battery was checked and it's ok, the cord was checked and it was ok. Several other things were checked, and nothing wrong. So, we'd have to ship it off to have it diagnosed, and given the fact that it's about 7 years old, it's just not worth it. I'm looking forward to getting a new one.

I can't believe that our trip is so close! I need to finish Timothy's shirts, and then I can post some pictures. We didn't do a whole lot, but the ones we did turned out great!

Mine is starting to do the same thing, probably around the same age. We've had it shipped off and were told nothing was wrong. Perhaps Apple just expects us to get a new computer more often than once per decade! Most people do I suppose, but that's why we GET Apple products!

Becky - I'm so sorry for your friends. Their families are in my prayers.

Deb - Sounds like a good day yesterday. I'm glad that Colby's IEP went well. Too bad about the boys' games. Sounds like they did well though.

Tammi - Enjoy your new found time!

Glynis - Hope your computer can eek out a few more months for you. I know exactly how you feel!

Elizabeth - I hope you get some good answers from the tests.

Ditto!

Thank you Tia!

I was also going to suggest Chefs de France. Bob and Kristin really like Biergarten and I enjoy going there with them. Kathrin hates both places.

Good morning, DDA!

From the moderator on the DIS Restaurant Board!

How fun! I print screened some pages that I can share. (But don't tell anyone...)

Chanon are your ready for your trip

Heck yea! (I still have to pack though!)


Dining seems straight forward! Looks like it should go smoothly.
Start page:

Searched for Crystal Palace, Aug 1 at 9:45am...

Gave me 9:45am instead...

In my shopping cart!

Looks like we can do 10 at a time and can print or email the numbers now.

Let me know if anyone wants me to try one or two...

ETA: see the fine print on the last screen? About 2 hours or 20 minutes of waiting? That's nice so you don't loose the reservation...I think some were worried about that one.

Good morning, DDA!

Chanon, interesting. I see ADR doom in everyone's future. What if you put in a request for a date past the end of your hotel ressie? What if you book 3 restaurants for the same time on the same day? Will it stop you?

 

[Glynis]

It could be a hard drive, or video card, or ram. When my video card went bad on my old laptop it shut off at random. Computers can do some pretty wacky things when stuff starts going bad.

Hopefully it holds out and you find a super deal to replace it when the time comes.

Thanks, Becky. I hope it holds out, too. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed!

EXACTLY!

We did get some good news, on the computer front. We just found out that Alan's nephew is working for Apple, and could get us a nice discount when the time comes to get a new machine. So, keep your fingers crossed!!!

Good morning! It's a glorious day here! sun is shining! Birds are sining! I just want to be outside. Well, maybe later.

Chanon- I want to wish you a good trip! I can't wait to hear what you think of "my"! I'm so excited to be going!

On tap for today is finishing up Timothy's shirts. I've got one to iron on, and then a swirl Mickey head to do. The others all turned out great! Once I'm done, I'll load the pictures for you all!

I also need to do some shopping today. Just found out that the church camp that Katie will be going to this summer leaves the day after we get back from Disneyland. So, I need to have all her gear packed, and taken to the leader's house before we leave. Luckily, she is camping in the high mountains, so will not be needing all the shorts and T's we're taking to Disneyland. It just adds another layer to my packing! It's times like these I wish Elizabeth were here!

I also need to ask for some prayers. My good friend called me last night. Her DIL went into labor the night before mother's day. She was 28 weeks pregnant. They tried to stop the labor but couldn't, and baby Claire was born early Mother's day morning. Please keep her in your prayers. She weighs just over 2 pounds, and is breathing on her own, but so much could still go wrong. Thanks!

It blacks you out if you go past your reservation date - like if you were to book a hotel room for 2010 it wouldn't let you - if you don't put in a reservation # then you are stuck to the straight 90 days. With reservation, 10 days past. (I think...haven't played with that one but that's what I'm assuming because I didn't enter a reservation number and it only let me go 90 days.) No clue if it would let you book 3 for the same time for same day. (I'm trying that now.) But they had no control over that in the past anyways...

Here's the "error" message I got:

Offer Added
It appears that 2 or more of your dining offers are within one hour of each other. If the offers are for the same dining party, please remove the conflicting offer(s). If these offers are for different parties, please continue with your booking.

...and that was for 9:20 at Grand Floridian and 9:30 at Crystal Palace. So no control set.

...and another agent is currently playing with this (mind you she's slow with this stuff so everything is "strange" or "wrong" to her.. )and she's putting in reservation numbers of clients and now sounds like she's booking for one person on the wrong reservation so trust the agent you talk to.

Lot's of prayers for Claire and family.

It sounds/looks simple enough. In theory.

Have a fantastic time in DL!
