Lesley... Here's a neighborly, hope-things-improve-for-you hug!!
I cannot believe Coral Reef is pulling this service. It was the MAIN reason we even ate there. I'm so disappointed, and, like you said, right when they are starting a year devoted to celebrations. I guess we won't be celebrating anything at Coral Reef this year. I'll find somewhere else.. so there!!
Do you ever listen to the DisUnplugged podcast?They often go off about 'customer hostile' moves that Disney makes. I'd consider this one of them. I wonder if they'll have a little rant about it. They always make me laugh!
Sending good wishes your way. At least your Disney MoJo is still intact! <<Knock wood>>
Thanks so much, I need all the hugs I can get right now, I'll explain in a minute. I know, doesn't that STINK about Coral Reef, it makes no sense whatsoever especially with the year of celebrations. I've listened to a few podcasts, they are funny!

AKL concierge!
We love AKL! I'm so glad you got it! I hope the ADR system is up in two weeks - we still don't have ressies for March
Their system has been down due to an upgrade. It is really frustrating because you are never sure when it will open up again.
Thanks for your kind words about my dad. He seems to be improving a little every day - we are thankful it wasn't a really bad stroke.
Yes, I am so excited we got Concierge, can't wait to experience it. That stinks about the ADR system, hope they get that done soon! How is your dad?

Just went to that site. It looks amazing, but will probably never be affordable to a lot of people.
Price would be ok if that was $300 per family, then it would not be bad. But $300 per person, that outrageous..
But I guess if you were only gooing to do that and not hit the parks, it would be doable.
But parks and that, too much money
I know, doesn't it look amazing. I'm hoping for a DVC discount.
Lesley
Sorry to hear about Tim's knee. Hopefully it gets better soon
Score on AKL Concierge
Thanks, well, I'll update on the knee soon - not good news unfortunately. YES about the score!!!
Lesley
Sorry to hear that Tim hurt his knee.
AKL concierge is so cool! Are you going to book the sunrise safari?
I don't know if we will since we only have 2 days in the parks we'll probably save that for another time, we'll see.
Yeah! I came on here to check to see if you got AK-C! I'm so excited for you two.
That sucks about Tim's knee. I hope that he doesn't have to have surgery. I'll be thinking about you guys.
That does suck about Coral Reef. I was going to do the diver for our October trip because our DD will finally understand it...guess not know.
Thanks for checking, we're excited too. Well, he does need surgery, I'll update soon.
Lesley
Sorry to hear about Tim's knee. I hope that he heals quickly. And the bathroom thing totally stinks. Merry Christmas kids!!! You get to take a bath now!!
Thanks, that had me laughing hysterically about the "Merry Christmas kids" comment, thanks for the laugh!
Lesley, I have a discouraging FYI for you about this in case you don't know. With the system upgrade, you can't book any ADRs beyond March 22 right now (except for Chef Mickey's, Victoria and Albert's, and Cinderella's Royal Table, which remain available for booking 180 days out). The upgrade was supposed to be done in October but has been pushed back again and again and again... We are currently being told they'll extend the window December 22, but that seems doubtful for a variety of reasons. Check
this thread on the dining board for the most current information (which is always in the first post of the thread). One of the dining CMs has been keeping us updated. Sorry to say, but it's doubtful at this point you'll get to book your ADRs in two weeks.
Well........... that stinks, I'll have to check out those threads, hopefully they get it up and running soon. Thanks for the heads up.
Lesley
Hey Lesley! Congrats on the AKV concierge
I am so happy for you and Tim! Sorry to hear about Tim's knee...that is so awful! We will say a prayer for him! I hope things start to look up for your family soon!
Thanks, we're thrilled about AKL concierge too. Thanks for your prayers.
Hey Lesley---Congrats on the AKL Concierge booking--so excited for you guys!!!! Sorry to hear about Tim though!!! Hope it heals quickly!
Thanks, we're excited too. I'm sorry about Tim also, I'll update in a minute.
Oh, Lesley, big hugs
for all of you! What a rough time. And poor Tim and his knee - I hope the rest and ice do the trick for him. I hope things start looking up FAST!!
That new possibility for Pleasure Island is intriguing, and when you think about the cost of a gourmet meal, and a premier theater experience, plus all the other options, $250-300 is not so far away. You just usually don't do all these things on the same night! I bet it will be a perk on some of the packages though, and cost less that way. I think it will be a bigger attraction for couples and singles than family groups at that price. However, there are lots of people with lots of money who seem eager to hand it over to Disney, so it will probably be madly successful!
Good-o on the ressies at AKL - at least that was ONE piece of good news!
Thanks for the hugs, I appreciate it. That pleasure island thing is intriguing isn't it. I think if you take all those things into account it will be worth the money, at least once.
Lesley
I'm so glad I found your PTR!!! I am so envious of the DVC purchase! Maybe some day we'll go for it.
16 days - wow! Fun for you guys - and your readers!
How exciting about the Nov. trip! You are going to have so much fun. We leave in 3 days for our first ever "us" only/3 year anniversary trip! We don't have kids yet, but we've never been without other family members.
Can't wait for more - hope everyone is well/uninjured soon!
I'm glad you found us too! Yes, it will be fun to write one this long this time. Have fun on your own "us" only anniversary trip, I hope you have a wonderful time!!!
Lesley
Wish us luck in the morning, hoping for AKL concierge for those 2 nights.
