Discovering DVC timandlesley style-A PTR, 19 days TRIP REPORT LINK PG.119!!!!!

Hey Tim!

GREAT post! I would be worried too ....although in your past you have come through as "THE MAN" remember your Wilderness Lodge check in a few years back !! No worries, I am sure with Lesley's instructions it will be NO PROBLEM and if anything does go wrong you could just say "Well, you made ME do it!"

OK, listen up everyone......I need to clear the air. I know I have to make "the call" Monday and make all the ADR's for our upcoming trip and I love all the support I'm getting, but I am so officially SCARED for my life.

I've been going to Disney every year with my eyes wide SHUT, Lesley does all the planning, and the kids and I just show up with Lesley and her laminated cards.

Lesley walks around for months with these HUGE planning folders just like the Secret Service carrying the Nuclear Football, holding all the Launch Codes. She knows the RED days the GREEN days and every other color days. She knows where to eat, how much to spend each penny, and how each dollar converts to DDP credits.

TGM calls Lesley for insight on how to plan for each month, she knows EVERYTHING and she always takes care of everything and all is good in Tim's perfect little Disney world.

Then one day, "Hey Tim, Monday I work so you need to make all the ADR's for our trip, ok?" OK?? OK??? Lesley then hands me the HUGE planning folder, it's like trying to figure out the DAVINCI CODE....R U KIDDING ME!!??

So, here I am waiting for Monday like a prisoner awaits his last meal, I swear I heard the kids yell DEAD MAN WALKING as I passed them in the hall yesterday.

Am I scared? HELL YES!!!

God Help Us ALL!!!!
Tim

I was just reading your post out loud to my husband (who does no planning what so ever) and we were just cracking up
We have confidence in you Tim!!! We know you will do a great job. My husband does not even know what ADR stands for never mind calling. He said he really feels for you but you will do fine. Can't wait to hear how you make out!!! That is a lot of dining plans & you will be busy busy for a while but it is fun planning!! Good luckixiedust:

You rock Tim! You can do it...

 

[DreaGirl]

May the force be with you!!

You can do it, just don't choke....

 

[shannon47142]

Good luck Tim No worries, you'll be awesome

 

[dddisrunner]

Hey guys! Just tried to send you one last PM but your box is full!!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

Just stick with the plan, Tim, and you'll be fine!

 

[Mycuteboyz3]

I've been a lurker on your last T/R's and have really enjoyed them but I definately had to come out and post. First of all you had me so loud I woke my son up from his nap and secondly you have learned from the best. So just pay attention to her instructions and you'll be fine. My husband is the one the makes all of our ADR's. I tell him what I want and at what time. I know if he can do it so can you.
Good Luck.

I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!

I called at 6:59 a.m. and I was talking to an AWESOME rep named Natlie in 20 seconds!!! 20 seconds!!! Can you believe it??!!???

Everything went great, I got every reservation we wanted.....it was perfect. It was like Natalie was in the MATRIX, she navigated the system lightning fast, with no problems, and also added extra tips and insight.

I have to say, it was a bit stressful at first when Lesley was just sitting across the room staring at me and hanging on my every word. She had a great gameplan and I just executed it.

So, now she has me calling DVC at 9:00 am to try to work some other kind of magic. More on that later.

Thanks for all the support, and like another DISer said, I just closed my eyes and used the FORCE. The FORCE flowed through me, or maybe that was just the coffee?!?? Who knows!?!

Have a magical day!!!

Tim

Congrats Tim & Leslie!

I love hearing Disney Magic stories!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Congratulations Tim!

Hope the DVC call goes just as well. <- Just in case

 

[mylag1rl]

Great job Tim ! We all knew you could do it. Great posts ... you are too funny !

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Congrats! I have to give it to you.............my hubby would have NEVER done that. He is a wonderful husband, but he would have eaten at McDonald's everyday before he would have made that call. His idea of having a great vacation is just showing up and enjoying all the hours of planning that I did! He pays for it, and I make it happen So add another feather to your cap, Tim!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

Wtg!

 

[Happydog]

Yay Tim! Hand out the Cigars!

Same time next year! , and like the PPs, my husband would never have done this for our vacation either, so kudos to you!
