Where Am I?

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I missed 5.0 altogether.

I'm worried you won't have time to POP into MK on your arrival day. If AK is your main park that day I would just stick with that.


Very excited about the new princess too. Even my boys are interested. They are like "How can Disney just make up a new princess?" I guess they were too young to understand that Disney made up the rest of them too.

I don't know where you're latest where are you is. The image of ariel in the reflection is throwing me off.

 

[jenjolt]

We made changes....WHERE???? Just Ohana's LOL!! I'm so not good at this when I'm not the one doing the planning...although I am doing some of the planning you are just the bookeeper!!!


OOH I have guess am I allowed to make a guess I think I know where you are...LOL!!!! I'll just guess in my head and see if I am right LOL!!!!

I really hope we get to do some of the Princess Tiana things I think it will be very very cool considering I have never been on the Riverboat before and something I would really like to do in January.

 

[addictedtothemouse]

LL - Just had to let you know that I booked DD graduation trip. W'll be at the Poly from 5/22 to 5/29. I decided that if you could give up control and book through a TA I could too, which will be great because my ADR day is on a Monday and I'll be off of midnights and on days. I could just see me telling my boss that I couldn't fix the trainer if it broke because I was on hold with Disney.

 

[IluvXU]

O'Hana's for breakfast was and is one of my favorite things we have ever done at Disney.... the music and characters were so fun. It is the meal that my girls talk a lot about.... more than Chef Mickey and other character meals we have done.

 

[Disneymoon09]

LL, I love your planning booklet. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday full of good intentions to make something. Well, with me not having a crafty bone in my body, I left with nothing! I really wish I have the talent that everyone has on here! Great job! I'm also super excited to meet Princess Tiana on our trip!

 

[MinnieNurse]

I love the cover for your flip book-cant wait to see the movie. I have no suggestions for a title, you know me-not so hot in the creative department.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Love the cover for your flip book. Too cute! I can't wait to see that movie.

Thanks. I really can't wait to see it either. I hope do go the first weekend it's open.

I don't know if I will have enough time or not either. But I am feeling pulled towards MK for my first day. I'd love to be able to see the castle right away. I don't know if that is going to happen though.

Too cute about your boys!

Yes, we must meet Princess Tiana. We need to put her on the list! We changed the day of 1900 Park Fare and added in Ohana's.

Oh, I am so happy for you! WOO HOO! The Poly is going to be a HUGE upgrade from All Star Music last year.
I really loved having the TA book my ADRs!

O'Hana's for breakfast was and is one of my favorite things we have ever done at Disney.... the music and characters were so fun. It is the meal that my girls talk a lot about.... more than Chef Mickey and other character meals we have done.

I've been wanting to try Ohana's for awhile now and I read MickeyMom's review of it and it just put me over the edge, I just had to add it.

LL, I love your planning booklet. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday full of good intentions to make something. Well, with me not having a crafty bone in my body, I left with nothing!

Awww, I am sure I can help you come up with something!

Oh, I have seen your cake decorating pictures, you have creativity!

 

[shannn]

LL!!

I can't believe you have a pretrippie that's 66 pages long and I JUST found it. I'm such a fool. I've read the whole thing in the past hour, so now I'm all caught up. Your plans are fabulous!

I'm having gastric bypass in May & I love reading that you're still thinking about/ planning on food. The way the doctors talk you'd think I'd never eat again! I'm trying to be calm and remind myself that I'll still be the same person. Thanks for being an example for me!

Thanks for joining in!!

Oh yes, I will ALWAYS think about food. I was so feeling like I'd never eat anything "normal" again before my surgery. The doctors really do scare the crap out of you. I know gastric bypass is different from what I had but I think with all of these surgeries you learn what works for you. Feel free to PM me if you ever need to chat more!

 

[cagirl4life]

just stumbled over your PTR and thats the same weekend i am going to be there.... crazy!! but just an fyi: that weekend is the college national cheerleading and dance championships at wdw..... thats why i will be there. so its gonna be crazy there.... just fyi

 

[Happydog]

OKAY so I tried on 6.0 and now you are telling me there is a 7.0?

Well I liked what I saw! That cruise sounds fun! Hey you are having breakfast at Ohanas at 7:30 pm btw...

Great chances to take good photos!!!

Hey, thanks for joining in. Yes, I've heard about the cheerleading and dance championships at WDW that weekend. I'm not too worried, I'm going to have fun no matter the crowds.

Well I liked what I saw! That cruise sounds fun! Hey you are having breakfast at Ohanas at 7:30 pm btw...

Yep. 7.0 is on it's way. I hope to get it finished tomorrow and posted tomorrow night. We'll see.

Oh crap! I thought I had proof read that enough. Apparently not. That must be my inner self wishing that we don't have to leave that day.

 

[eandesmom]

I noticed the 7pm thing too but figured it was just b/c you are so excited about breakfast there! I'm liking 6.0!

What will happen in 7.0?

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Publishing 6.0 and working on 7.0?! Is there an over/under on what version we'll be on in January? Just kidding. If anyone understands how important it is to perfect plans, it is us DIS'ers. I think O'Hana will be a great addition on departure day. Your plans still look great. But I'm trying to remain non-committal with the knowledge that 7.0 is coming... I don't want to get my heart broken.

 

[Native NYer]

Your itineraries always are amazing! I love that you don't try to pack too much in, just what you really want to see. I'm going to try that for my upcoming trip.

 

[jordanyosh]

Great itinerary. I'm always one behind I'm working on version 6 right now.

Were you the one that had a great meal with mom at the Plaza?

 

[belle8306]

I have just caught up on your PTR. Your trip plans look great! I would love to go in January and escape the Indiana winter for a while. Since I am a teacher I don't think that will happen until I retire. I am looking forward to reading more!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh, I think 7.0 holds many exciting things.

Too funny about your heart breaking over my itinerary. I think you will like 7.0 even MORE.

Your itineraries always are amazing! I love that you don't try to pack too much in, just what you really want to see. I'm going to try that for my upcoming trip.

Well, I have learned that I'm an overplanner. Meaning I try to pack too much in and then when it doesn't work out I want to throw a fit. See my May TR for more details on that.

Great itinerary. I'm always one behind I'm working on version 6 right now.

Were you the one that had a great meal with mom at the Plaza?

Nope, Mom & I had a great meal at Rose & Crown. I'm hoping that I stop at 8.0. I think that is as far as I want my itinerary mania to take me.

Hey! I had to pop over to your PTR. I am so excited to escape winter,
