Decorations and friends, what could be better. Time to plan..11/27 Final plans& recap

[MEK]

Hello there.

I am going to try to write a pre-tr for our next trip which will be in December 2013. It has been a while since I have done this so be kind.

Hmmmmm - I thought I subbed to this TR, but I'm doing it again just to make sure!

Scott, I love most of your ADR picks. We prefer breakfast at Chef Mickey's; our last dinner, back in 2004, was absolutely awful.

We are NOT fans of 50's Prime Time; we've always had good meals at Mama Melrose.

We LOVE Olivia's; since we usually stay at OKW now we try to eat there once or twice a trip (we're having breakfast there in August).

I've never heard much about Surf & Turf at SSR...do tell us more about this one.

I think we are going to do breakfast. Maybe.
You see and we are the opposite. 50's has always been a great meal where MM was barely edible.
Hmm, Olivia's for breakfast. That is an idea.
The Turf Club. it is a great place that has indoor and outdoor seating. The food is good. Very nice atmosphere.

We'll be there the 6th and then again the 14th and 15th. We're going out on the Fantasy on the 7th.

Good week for DISrs.

We were supposed to be on that cruise or the Dream. Canceled do to the problems with cruise ships now Vinny got nervous.

This is smelling like a LARGE Dis Meet , We have to figure a date and do it !!!!!

Okay.

We'd LOVE to do a meet. We'll be getting in around 1 on the 6th and staying at Bay Lake. We are planning on doing the Christmas party that night.

Let me know what you all decide to do. If there's any way we can make it, we'll be there!

The 6th is a MK day for us.

Let's wait for Scott to get back and then we can try to figure out a time and place !!!

I'm back.

No wonder we are friends we think alike. Except for the snails. What are you planning the day of the party? I'm still debating that one but may just do a CS. Love Pecos Bill for the toppings bar.

I has escargot 4 times in Aruba. Delicious.
Counter service for the party.

We love Olivia's! I feel like it's such a hidden gem and the breakfast is amazing... we haven't had lunch or dinner there yet, but the good thing seems to be that you can usually get a walk up reservation, so we can just pop in when we feel like it.

I remember you guys enjoying Turf Club in your previous TR, I think that's something we are going to have to explore either this trip or next.

It really is. We might have to try breakfast on one of our down days.
We usually eat there twice a tirp. Not this time but we will do it once.

Hmmmmm - I thought I subbed to this TR, but I'm doing it again just to make sure!

Glad you did.

I get to make my ADR's on Thursday (before I head to the airport for my flight to Orlando). All of them are typed up with what I want and times. Keeping fingers crossed.

Love the Aruba pictures.

 

[scottny]

My reservations did not go as according to plan. Because it is a split stay I cna only do the first 2 nights of the stay then on Friday I can do the rest. I am so not happy with Disney's website. So wish me luck on Friday. I did make the 2 for the days I can but I will update on Saturday when I have them all done.

I am also back and we must plan a MEET!! I am not sure where I will be staying the first 2 nights , but I am thinking Pop , On the 5th I am staying at a Timeshare off site with Grumpy Grandma , I will be leaving on the 10th!! The only thing booked is the flight and I am pretty sure Jeanette (GG) has us booked for dinner at BOG on Sunday so that would put us at MK that day !!At least in the afternoon/evening !! That is the 8th, Would that work for anyone ????

Hope you guys get a chance to get together. It will be a blast.

I would love to try and meet up but unfortunately the 8th won't work. We are driving and have to be on the road on the 7th. It's a long drive from Disney to Philadelphia.

 

[franandaj]

Well...how did the ADRs go?

Throw me some dates !!The 8th was just a suggestion!!

I'll be there from the 1st to the 7th. I have been working on an extra day or 2 but my DH isn't listening. I know that Scott and I have some overlapping plans but I have nothing concrete. I have an AP and DH will have a PH so we can work around everyones schedule for the most part.

Sorry it has taken so long. I finally finished making the reservations on Friday and the same day Vinny had shoulder surgery and then Sunday I had book club so I have been busy with life. Vinny is healing nicely but has pain but he also has meds.

Now let’s talk about the dining. We arrive at Disney on the 2nd.
We will be coming from staying at Four Points near U.S. and once we check in we will then unpack and then go to dinner. We will take Disney buses being I need to drink. LOL

12/2 – Sanaa. Really love this place and I think it is a great way to start the trip.

12/3 – Crystal Palace Lunch. We have never eaten here except for breakfast so this will be a new experience.

12/4 – The Turf Club. Love this hidden gem. Always have a good meal here and we move to SSR so we are there already. LOL
Dining with an Imagineer. I am so looking forward to this with Tracy, Bill, Lorrie and Jim.

12/5 - Via Napoli. Another first for us but I have heard very good things about it.

12/6 – 1900 park Fare breakfast. This will be our third time. The food is good and the characters are fun.

12/7 – Teppan Edo. We ate here in March and fell in love so it is back on the list.

12/8 – Olivia’s. Ate here last year and liked it so thought we would go again. It could change.

12/9 – Captain’s Grill. We have eaten here a few times and always had a good meal so we will go back.

12/10 – Chef Mickey’s breakfast. I think it has been 6 years since we have been so it is long overdue.
Paradiso 37 love this place. I hope it I warm so we can sit outside.

12/11 – Tutto italia. We have not been sice they did it over so looking forward to this one.

12/12 – Be Our Guest. I am so excited to finally try here.

12/13 – Coral Reef. Our last meal before we leave.

Thoughts?

There you have them. I am sure some will change. I will be next breaking down each day as to the hopes and wants.

Stay tuned….​

I was slacking but I blame Disney for holding me up.

I think you might be forgetting something possibly?

 

[franandaj]

I think your ADRs look awesome. I've eaten at most of these places and really like them. I'm glad you get to try Be Our Guest, I ate their for lunch, but haven't been able to get dinner there.

Thanks. I am looking forward to most of them but mostly BOG.
