Deluxe Dining Marathon February 2010

[TBLaube]

Two Navy Sailors taking on ten nights of WDW Deluxe Dining. We have battled (no pun intended) much harder things than this. Rides and shows are not the point of this vacation. It is to hit as many restaurants as possible! Here is the proposal but of course dates and times are flexible. I have three sons and never get to do the 'girly' things so I have thrown in some of the things that I REALLY want to do and my partner in crime is GTG....especially since I suggested the room service watching the SUPERBOWL with steaks and beer

Wow, the logistics of this, I'm speechless! What a trip plan, you are hitting all the best in my opinion.

Please be careful, try not to explode! And please write a trip report and post it, can't wait to hear back.

Sounds like a great trip!! Hitting all my favs!! Have a Great trip!!

Now if only the ADRs will work out. I have always been really blessed on our trips with getting what we want. The great thing is that we are planning for late lunch and late dinners which tend to allow for easier booking. I do have some back-up restaurants just in case and can switch some lunches with dinners and vice versa.

I really tried to keep the traveling back and forth to a minimum so the split stay is perfect! And I can't wait to eat at all of the AKL restaurants. I have only done a BOMA breakfast back in 2004!

I am happy with 'The Plan' It is funny though because if you could have seen me doing Land Navigation before my Kuwait deployment.....let's just say that we were the last team to come in. If they only had Disney landmarks.....;0

I bow to your awesomeness!

That is one serious plan and I think it kicks butt. I can't wait to read the trip report.

No California Grill though?

PROMISE me you'll do a Dining Review for this trip, with pics!!! I can't wait to hear all about it (I am a DxDDP fan too)!

Some people use drugs....I use this as "my fix". I am getting ready to hit my 18 year mark in the military and while I love it, it is pretty draining some days. Disney is my Fantasyland (no pun intended).
I can't begin to tell you (however...I think you all will understand since you are Dis Board junkies like me) how excited I am for this trip. I have been dying to go on an adult trip without kids (sorry...I really love my boys) for so many years. In my defense, we just did Disneyland two weekends ago and we did WDW last February and July (DVC developer points...couldn't pass it up!) So...even though I am still feeling a bit guilty, I cannot wait!!!!
I have recruited another big kid that will don the Mickey Ears and skip down Main Street with me. What more could you ask for?

I am VERY excited that people want a Trip Report. I will definitely do one and have the camera aimed and ready. I don't care if people look at me funny! It should be entertaining....because J and I have way too much fun together and I will get him to jump on the Trip Report as well.

There are a few places that we really wanted to do also, but had to pick and choose.

Originally we were going to do Artist's Point, but really want to try Hoop Dee Doo....we are totally kids at heart! Plus the beer and sangria are included (need I say more). Seriously I am not really a drinker so will be trying them, but not going overboard with the alcoholic drinks. It will be tough because there are sooooooo many yummy looking ones.

Also.....California Grill .....ugh!!!!! This was a tough one too! But we really wanted to mix it up a bit so might have to catch this next time around. However, depending on ADR availability, maybe we will end up with it?????


Too bad I didn't have enough points to do 14 nights....we really could have captured almost all of them!
